does it overheat all the time or only when driving it? Have you replaced the thermostat in it as well? Check the radiator and cap?

I'll take just his tranny and rear end;)

you are also fogetting the intercooler, either air to air, or air to water, will help drastically reduce air temps from a turbo. You can then add an intercooler sprayer to an air to air to reduce the temps even further, and add on a fan underneath it. ANother thing to remember with superchargers, is the amount of friction within the housing from the screws inside, creating a lot of heat as well. ok anyways, Jon, if I were you, do what a lot of the other guys recommend. water/oil cooled turbo if it didn't get the recall done to it, intercooler, and keep it at stock boost. If you want, get the turbo back exhaust reworked to have it a bit more free flowing to get better turbo spool and for that awesome turbo'd boxer sound!

yes, ram engines has some crazy stuff on there, HOWEVER, we are Subaru people, not airplane guys. Since airplane guys have a bit more money to throw around on these engines, its mainy aimed more toward them. Not saying that you couldn't get parts and whatnot for our engines, I'm just not up to spending $6,000 on a NA EA81 to put into my Brat. I'd rather get an STi front cut for the same price and have more horses:headbang:

and it has been proven that superchargers create a lot more heat then a turbo does. Plus, they're not as efficiant as a turbo either, granted you get the power from a supercharger off the line compared to a turbo.

I'll come but my house do our own tree up in the mountains up here. Been a tradition since we moved out here but I'm all up for runnin through the snow!

and of course, no one got any pics after Bill and I showed up except for him. It'll take him a year to get them on here:-p

yeah I can't believe Bill and I finally made it after our interested drive down there (stupid poe poes). Wish we coulda been there sooner and stayed longer but fun all the same!

LUVMYBRAT and I will be afternoonish depending on how early I can get out of the dealership tomorrow. I'm shooting for noon so that'll put us down there about 2-3pm

you might want to shoot Hondasucks a PM since a couple years ago, he rebuilt a 3AT complete except for the front diff. Seemed pretty easy though I've done a few auto trannies before as well.

I'll ride my bike down there. It'll make it in the snow... However, I don't think I could:lol:

hah... I'm on my third engine in my RX since I bought it. Trust me, I know about destroying stuff:lol:

Nope Bill, its looooong gone buddy! Phil, yeah I'll update it! Its not letting me edit it for some reason!

basically you can run a stock fuel system with it, just don't go over the stock boost on the turbo or else it'll get real lean up in higher RPMs. It'll still run a hair lean up in the clouds but should be all right if you keep an eye on it with a a/f gauge.

I agree with Jerry on the accelerator pump going bad. Also, EGR is located on the manifold behind the carb. Has a steel tube that runs from the back of the passenger side head, going into it. Take it off, be careful that you don't damage the gasket, clean out the intake where it bolts to and the EGR valve itself. Put it together and it should help a bit.

There is a guy over on www.xt6.net that has put some 2 piston calipers onto the back of his XT6. I haven't read up on what he had to do but I believe there was quite a bit of modding that needed to be done to them and the backing plate of the car to get them to fit properly.

I can weld like a madman! Just got done today welding in some patch panels on a '69 Mustang at work. My bodyshop foreman was very impressed since I can weld better then he can:grin:

ok so I'm figuring that the turbo goes in between where 3 connects into the intake hose and where 13 connects. Am I right? If so, then I got it all figured out! Driver side valvecover and PCV valve connect into the intake after the turbo and the passenger side valvecover connects into the intake before the turbo.

Sorry but there is no company that sells premade wiring harnesses for gen 1 Subarus. I have actually built a wiring harness before for other cars, but I have one out of my Brat and one out of a '79 Brat as well and they seem to be pretty easy. I made a harness for a 1970 Firebird which was basically the same 10 wires that the Brat has.

That is such an improvement from before and after. I love the look of gen 1s without the front bumper myself:headbang:

Gonna try my friend, gonna try. Still have some cooling issues to take care of.

sweet, thats kinda how I figured but I wasn't sure. Thanks Mike!

Yeah, I know, another question. Anyways, on a stock EA82T, how is the PCV system routed again? I've looked in my Chiltons manual and its all babbling about it and the diagram isn't very clear. Its one of the problems I'm working on fixing right now. Remember, I'm using a SPFI shortblock so no PCV port in the top of the block, just the valvecovers and PCV valve...

Now I'm a mechanic.... well mroe of a collision tech now... Workin for Laramie GM:banana: Plus I have my own shop at the house which I do stuff for people and make some extra spending cash when I need too.

Yeha I think I've heard of them but I don't tend to frequent the Buck anymore. I got a whole rear suspension from an '85 GL-10 sedan in my shop, also has the fuel pump and whatnot attached to it. Got tons of intakes, engine pieces, suspension, etc. I don't have any body panels right now though... Let me know and I'll see what I can round up for you when you get here. Also, you can take a gander at my pile of an RX as well;)
