Group Buy: Carbon Fiber or Fiberglass Hoods
Caboobaroo replied to Marck's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I'm sooo in if it has a spot for a hoodscoop to be bolted too. Then I can drop on my CF STi scoop:brow: and put the hood onto my nonturbo EA82 coupe... well nonturbo for now *cough* EJ20G *cough* -
shows what you know Jeff:-p The RX coupes (not the sedans) only came in black and white. The RX sedans however, in '85 and '86 could come in a wide variety of colors. I believe the RX sedans after '87.5 were all white but I could be mistaken.

The BEST Quality Radiator, please recommend
Caboobaroo replied to Alexx's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
www.radiators.com or www.radiatorexpress.com which is the same site. I got a new 2 core radiator for under 200 bucks shipped to my door. Its an awesome radiator too, just wish I didn't blow the rings out of my car just after putting it in:( -
tranny swap underway...a few questions
Caboobaroo replied to hatchsub's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
the radius rods are the rods going from the control arms back to where the tranny crossmember mounts to. You have to swap those plates that they mount to because of fitment issues like you found out dealing with the crossmembers. It should be only like 3 bolts a side for those. -
replace the TO bearing. If it starts seizing up, it'll put more load on the engine with the clutch in and make the engine want to die. Kinda like trying to take off from a stoplight without giving it any gas but not quite as bad.

Until you get your intercooler in there, I'd hold off on the boost controller and the BOV. Thats kind of a packaged deal and doing it all together at the same time, you'll benefit from it then doing it in stages. So install the IC, with the BOV, then after you get that done, install your MBC. Since our cars stock don't have an IC, then stock boost is all I would run. If you run more boost with no IC, it'll be hotter then stock, which will more then likely give you a ping or predetonation at higher RPMS.

stolen hatchie in shelton
Caboobaroo replied to dixracing's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Has he been called? If not, I'll give him a ring.... -
what if you made a custom pitch stopper. I've seen guys make adjustable ones and such so why not try and fab something up? I have a couple ideas but I need to draw them out and figure out how to work them...

Oh boy... Kid you need to take a rest. I've been building engines for more then half your lifetime. I've actually met GD in person and he is one of the most knowledgable Subaru people on this board. So.... I've seen quite a few of your posts that have had no regard to the topic which has been discussed but hey, what do I know right? I've only owned more Subarus then years you've been alive....

Nonstarting issue... EA82 SPFI
Caboobaroo replied to Caboobaroo's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
ok time for more info. I haven't checked the temp sensor but I did figure out that the fuel pump runs when cranking, yay go me. Now I'm going to go rotate the disty, check my timing for the millionth time and see what comes of it. I'm also going to double check the fuel injector and to make sure I'm getting fuel into the TB, not just a trickle. Then, if none of that works, then I'll be going after the temp sensor. -
D/R 5 speed driveshaft Q's

I knew it was something like that but I wasn't entirely sure:-p -
Quick EA82T water pump question
Caboobaroo replied to GoldDiggerRoo's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
yeah I should have mentioned that they normally come with new studs;) Don't worry, I did the same thing when I got a new waterpump for my RX. Doesn't hurt to have spares though:grin: -
D/R 5 speed driveshaft Q's
Caboobaroo replied to newsoobdude's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
ok I missed that in your previous post. Anyways, you're best option is to get an EA82 2 piece driveline modified for the 5-speed. I've heard and seen guys get custom drivelines made that were a single piece but thats a bit of change to throw down... -
Quick EA82T water pump question
Caboobaroo replied to GoldDiggerRoo's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
IIRC, the EA82 waterpumps that have 4 bolts that hold the pulley to the waterpump and another 4 studs that are permenant on the pulley that hold the clutch fan on, are the 105mm. The waterpumps that have studs in the pump that the pulley "floats" on and the clutch fan goes onto, is the 110mm... or I have them backwards... -
Nonstarting issue... EA82 SPFI
Caboobaroo replied to Caboobaroo's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
This sounds very logical to me since the car just made a 18 hour trip a month and a half ago and the guy I bought it from claims it died with no indication of something being wrong. In my RSM, it mentions the temp sensor as being an option for not wanting to start but it also said something about in colder temps... hmmm I'll have to check this! -
Pics from the Colorado Old School Meet!
Caboobaroo replied to DrKrazy's topic in Meet n' Greet. Your USMB Welcome Center
Well it ran for a week after I bought it. I drove it maybe a mile but the car has been so abused by the previous owner that the brakes were shot and so was the exhaust. The front pump in the tranny ended up seizing over night from sitting. Went to start it up the following day and nothing but a click and the engine doesn't turn over at all. I've had the car now for 4 years so thats how long its basically been not running:rolleyes: -
D/R 5 speed driveshaft Q's
Caboobaroo replied to newsoobdude's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
No, automatic EA82 driveshafts have a shorter section between the carrier bearing and the tranny so no go. Are you putting a d/r 5-speed into an EA81 car or are you thinking about using an EA81 d/r driveshaft in an EA82 car? The EA81 driveshafts are way different as far as lengths go. -
Nonstarting issue... EA82 SPFI
Caboobaroo replied to Caboobaroo's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
ok ok ok. No Harbor Freight here which sucks. Closes one is an hour away and no way am I gonna ride there on my mountain bike in 15 degree weather. I'll see if I can't borrow a compression tester from someone at work or buy one from Mac since I already owe him a heap of money (damn tools). I'll pour some gas down the TB but it doesn't really seem to be the case. When the green diagnosic connectors are together, I AM getting fuel into the TB and down it. I have had someone check that while I cranked it. -

Road? Whats a road? I dunno what that is... I know what a sidewalk is though:banana: -
Nonstarting issue... EA82 SPFI
Caboobaroo replied to Caboobaroo's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
There is a clicking coming from the TB area so I believe that would probably be the injector clicking?I also hear the fuel pump relay inside the car click when the grren connectors are connected... Also, talked with Hondasucks a bit over the phone. He said I should try and disconnect the MAF sensor because if its giving the ECU a bad figure, it would cause it not to start as well. What about a bad ECU as well? -
Help Please!!!

nope, you blew the freeze plugs in one of the heads is my bet... -
Nonstarting issue... EA82 SPFI
Caboobaroo replied to Caboobaroo's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
yup basically, Still no start and I swapped the distys around with a known good disty straight from my RX. Got good spark but still just cranks. Timing is still on, checked it after I swapped distys around but still no go. I have good spark at the coil and at the plugs, so next, I'll check my fuel again. Pump still doesn't want to run unless the green connectors are connected. Even then, she still doesn't want to fire up. Maybe I'll have to check compression but it doesn't seem like a viable solution for it just suddenly dying on the P.O. I also have my FSM out and am going to start checking things that it lists in the book for no starting, no initial combustion engines. -
And it sat in my shop for a couple months;) I wanted to get a couple pics of it with my EA82 coupes ('87 GL and '89 RX) but I didn't have any chances too:-\
