  1. not my cup of tea. but then again, my subarus are brown, black or silver.
  2. man, my dime a dozen ea82 spot has been replaced by dime a dozen legacies. theres only one or two ea82s in my yard now =/ im gonna have to switch to legacies soon, just cuz thats all thats left
  3. lol, old guys sure know subaru," those bastards bombed pearl harbor!" i get the same comment about mitsubishi.
  4. also i was thinkin the other day. maybe use an xt6 intake, with the two rear runners cut out and filled in. its set up for bigger injectors, on a fuel rail, and has a big tb.
  5. apparently you have to build a fuel rail to fit bigger injectors in there. afaik
  6. yes, i am familure with this car. "behind where the turbo would be" =] sorry for the wrong info, those must be steering relays or something else.
  7. it was rainy the other day, and i was having fun with the combo of awd, and good tires in the xt6. i was scootin off the line in front of everybody, then one time i looked next to me, and 2 car links back theres a wrx with a 16 year old in the drivers seat. we met at a few stop lights and seems like i can get up to 30mps before he can, but after that he starts walkin away. the thing that pissed me off, is that he drove off with a look of sickness on his face. he either thought i was in a honda, or he has no respect for his heritage. i just dont get it. honda,vw, chevy, ford, all those car companies get respect for their old cars. peepl recognize them as their history/heritage. but these new subaru kids dont seem to know, or care. whats the deal?
  8. heat wrap makes it rust out 10 times faster, and can make your welds break. manufacturers of stepped headers tell you not to run header wrap, unless you like buying new pipes =]
  9. i personaly have had bad luck with platinum and high compression, and turbos. maybe go ngk conventional, or nippon desno! sorry that word deserves a !!!!!!!!
  10. yes, i think they are on the firewall, behind where the turbo would be =]. its a combo relay, with two build into one. im pretty sure thats it...
  11. the egr doesnt do anything when your about to boost, or when your boosting.
  12. actualy my ea81 one only weighs 2 lbs more than the xt6, im hoping the xt6 to bearing will work on my 4speed dual range. otherwise im using my ea81 flywheel, and all ea81 stuff. the cars light enough, hopefully it wont slip =/ the ea81 and xt6 friction plate look identical in the thickness department.
  13. 83? the ea82 should go in like it was stock. just close on the disty and the frame rail.
  14. i run a 90 lb pump in my car, with the stock regulator, and it works just like normal. the fpr is inline, and should be very easy to switch to something else.
  15. wot at 6.5k should never ping, its when the turbo starts to boost, and the motor is working hard, or lugging.
  16. all the ea81/ea82/er27 maf sensors are that, maf, mass air flow. just flapper and hotwire styled. a map sensor is operated off of a vac hose from the manifold. on na cars it is a 1 bar map, it can read pressure up to 1 bar 14.whatever lbs. it can measure -30lbs of vac, up to atmospheric pressure. on a turbo car it will be a 2 bar map, it can measure vac, 1 bar of pressure, then one more bar of pressure. so 14lbs is your boost limit. or you get a superduper map, and they are 3 bar. almost 30 lbs of boost is what this map can see. so the map measures manifold pressure. the maf just measures volume, and temp.
  17. there surely are ones that will work on our cars. i have never seen a universal inline unit like ours are. usualy they screw onto the fuel rail with pipe thread. buy a honda one, and make it fit, with screw on barbs. one hose in, one hose out, and one vac line. our fuel rails are very wierd,compared to other engines of the era, they might as well be rubber hoses =].
  18. ok. when installing an ea81 clutch plate, and pressure plate onto an xt6 flywheel i noticed it puts alot more pressure on the springs, when the clutch is not depressed. the springs usualy stick out away from the motor, this combo made the springs go concave, towards the motor. basicaly the machined surface on the xt6 is closer to the flat face of the flywheel,(that the pressure plate bolts on) than the ea81 flywheel. by almost a 1/4 inch. i used the xt6 pressure plate and the ea81 clutch disc, and it didnt do that. but the xt6 pressure plate uses a larger TO bearing. im wondering if anybody has noticed stuff like this between the different flywheels. and im thinking maybe this is why the xt6 stuff holds more power, its got less space, and compresses your clutch springs more.
  19. i'll have at least one 4x subaru that runs then, so we could go hitup some mn river valley hills! maybe even raid roys =x
  20. yar! what morganm said. like the first year of the grand nat. the damn thing had a suck through carb setup, and an intercooler... that makes for quite a few cubic feet of air/fuel charge, under pressure. i wanna know what Adub was talkin about
  21. well, they shouldnt weigh that much... they are 13s!
  22. is this post directed at disabled subaru owners? looking under your car is kind of a necessity. especialy if your driving a subaru, and you like getting home. =]
  23. not to start an argument, but the distributor rotor is what makes your spark duration. i have had no problems with any coil i have ever run, including my chrome accel. but watch, it'll break on the way home now.
  24. and slow air bleed is a needle that lets in air past the throttle plate, i think its an idle mixture setting, not nessecarily an idle speed adjuster, but it effects idle speed. you set the air bleed before you set idle. afaik.
