saturn

hmm maybe I'll leave a note. that's how I got this one

thanks! it needs a lot of work, but from 20 feet away it looks great. is the red one dead? if so I might try to buy/trade some parts... like the cyclops light and the 4x4. maybe his fenders too - mine are rust-free but dented up pretty bad.

so I went to the dealer to find some air suction valves (o'reilly and autozone had no idea what I was talking about) guy at the dealership whipped out this huge old book, flipped to a page about air suction valves... at the top someone wrote in pen: ORDER THIS PART: SPS377200 which is the same part# listed in the first link you posted. if you look at up on subarugenuineparts.com, it's $12.18 https://www.subarugenuineparts.com/oe_parts_cat.html so these are NOT a direct replacement? I have to take the parts out of them and put them in my old ones? I'm kind of confused by the tutorial in the 2nd link you posted... seems like he says "take top from part A and then bottom from part B and do some magic and make a new one. so easy." how is it hooked up? where do I get a silencer? etc etc

I figured they were something like that... sucks they're so costly... bah. also, mine look different. more like UFOs, less like cylinders... they're also further back and not mounted in the little brackets that they SHOULD be mounted in (in fact, they don't fit) replaced previously, perhaps? I did manage to get an O2 sensor for $19 and replaced it in no time. also tightened up the exhaust headers which quieted things down significantly... now I hear valves ticking a bit. might try some seafoam and an oil change... and maybe clean all the oil off the bottom of the engine -- which means I'll probably have to replace the valve cover gaskets. luckily the HEAD gaskets aren't leaking at all. replaced my radiator, water pump and thermostat. flushed out the engine with water... runs a LOT cooler now, and THE FAN NOW TURNS ON! spraypainted the fan shroud gold after grinding off the rust... ran out of black spray paint. found one of these parked a block away... CYCLOPS? I kind of want that center light... speaking of found cars... found this by my girlfriend's house... ended up gawking at it for a while, the owner came out and we talked about 360s (I used to own one) annnnnddddd this is the next project - cheap racing seats to replace the totally dead factory seats. these actually sit about 1/2" lower! they still recline and they mount to the factory sliders just fine. more to come. have some awesome plans.

so I stopped to see that guy he was really nice showed me what I should check -- O2 sensor, and the two hoses going back to the exhaust with the weird dish shaped things on them... he said they should be gurgling and they're not, so they're probably clogged. then he showed me how to break the pin in the carb to adjust it said all of those combined should lean it out and get it to pass. didn't charge me for the advice.

nope, not registered yet. I can't register it until I can get it to pass emissions. been driving it insured with the bill of sale and title in hand.

well he was saying he requires you spend $150 to get the waiver too but if he can fix it for $40 then it's worth it. I'll check it out on monday morning.

I called him he said $39.95 and he will do mix adjustments and nothing else -- no guarantee of passing. which in my case probably won't get it to pass... I'm running at like 4x the legal limit of CO2... so I'm probably looking at spending at least $150 total to get the waiver.

wow! amazing work. I'm jealous of your mirrors.

let me know if you end up getting this to work. I have a 86 standard (same front end as your brat) and would love to have some sort of guide to look at if I ever swap in a ej22.

woah awesome. yeah I noticed the law says estimate of $150 and the shops all say you have to pay for $150 in repairs. thanks for the info!

what!??! got better info on this? (phone number or something?) sounds totally sketchy but if it works I'm all for it. I would rather not pay $150 if I'm just going to swap carbs or the entire engine...

I've so far seen a red STD, a beige one, and a brown one. the last two having older folks driving. bizarro world!? I want to upgrade it to AWD for traction issues (and because uhh ... why not?) didn't get the weber - guy sold it! but I'm going in friday to get mine tweaked for $150 so I can get a waiver for emissions... then down the road I'll consider a full swap. ideally I think it'd be cool to put a turbo 1.8 in the car w/ AWD. fixed my turn signal with one of the last 3 turn signals left... now the other one looks really really dirty

hey! and yeah I've got the "how to keep your subaru alive" book... it is pretty helpful but not very specific to my model unfortunately I put NGK plugs in (returned the champion plugs to o'reilly) -- the car had 3 champion and one bosch plug (wtf?) there can't be much of an upgrade from a 1.6 to a 1.8... I figure if I'm going to do a swap I might as well swap in a EJ engine. it's been done before... I know it's a lot of work, but the end result would be pretty awesome. (turbo'd EJ18 w/ AWD and running gear from a legacy???) for right now I'm just going to get it running alright and clean it up as much as possible... and daily drive it.

so I'm keeping the stock engine in my 86 STD problem lately is overheating. it overheats when sitting in traffic on the freeway. I checked the fluid... hoses and thermostat are OK. but the fan never kicks on! I replaced the thermoswitch (the radiator fan switch -- the thing screwed into the passenger side of the radiator)... and that didn't seem to fix it either. I also redid the ground wire going from the radiator to the body panel in the front. is there a fuse or relay somewhere? should I make a new thread? also, my heat doesn't blow hot unless the car is EXTREMELY overheated... even cranked up to hot, the heater only blows "warm" at best. clogged radiator maybe? (and the thermoswitch is in a "clog" and never gets hot?) or maybe low coolant? (I topped it off in the radiator... is there a different place? or do I top it off with the car running?)

that sucks...i has this dream of swapping the good engine from the totaled car into the good looking car...how would the obd stuff work? what about an EJ22?

so I have a 92 loyale with SPFI, FWD... 1.8L wouldn't this swap into my 86 STD? it'd be cool to move everything -- power steering, anti-lock brakes, etc...

yep, that's the one I have

PS do you live around here? I'm over on 100th at the top of that dead end hill

ha no thanks those things are useless if the manuals from 90s cars are similar to the ones for 80s cars but if you ever want to hang out and show me a few things that'd be cool, like I said above, totally new to carbs and cars this old, and there are things I'd like to do but I simply don't know how

good to know! thanks!

PS I have this book, it seems useful, has some strange illustrations (like Kirk and Spock driving a Loyale in space)

I did search, but I'm only finding threads with people asking the same questions as me... maybe I'm searching the wrong thing? "ea71 + weber"

a guy came to install our Dish TV today and was telling me to put a weber in it ... is there a good tutorial for it on here? I have the EA71 block. all of the kits I see online are $300+ ... if I was going to spend that kind of money, I could get an EJ22 and 5MT transmission from a junk yard.
