O.K.the air is 170 and 160, the idle is 60 and 50. The o2sensor I had extra, the old one looked like a ball of moss.

I want to jump into this...I have a weber dgev on my 82 wagon and I can't seem to get better than 20mpg. Its almost to 220,000, and the compression isn't that good. I've replaced everything, 5speed d/r tranny, front axels, rear bearings, manifold from a 85', coil, disty, filters, new holly fuel regulator, inline pressure gauge running at 2.75lbs, plugs, o2 sensor, wires, hoses, alt, starter, radiator and yesterday, starter switch, my primary and secondary jets are 140 and I feel bad about the mileage. No leaks found unless its in the dash on the heater stuff. I haven't completed the search there but I don't hear anything and the temp maintains itself perfectly. I have slight hesitation when cold and not that much power till its warm and then only around 3000rpm. What should I have for jets and what should the timing be? It doesn't change for webers right? Its at 8btdc now. The float is adjusted to factory and I don't understand the variations in float leveling. The float was way off from factory, I got the kit for my deceased ea82. (I wasn't going to put on a third set of heads) I pulled the egr system and blocked off the hole. All the stuff had busted hose bibs and I was recommended to do so (from some site before I found all you). pcv stuff is all there. I do now have a full extra set of manifolds though for different years. Mostly I assume my motor is old and almost shot. But if I'm missing something I want to know. I would love to figure out this motor before I do myself an ej swap and lift. I feel like I wouldn't have learned a thing.

Yeah! I pulled out a few cars in my 87 wagon! A newer s10 and a 2006 honda crv! Should have seen the look on their faces when I got them out! You cannot move a 20 yard dumpster on dry concrete, even empty, though,....maybe on snow, like the others.....

I just melted a piece of it on my router table, it was the base insert. The vibration from the 3" bit I was using caused a bit of heat as I tuned the speed by ear. I'm glad I noticed before I lost the whole router on the floor while running. 3" is a lot of cutter at 25,000 rpm. I can see why the harmonics could cause that much heat in a router table, and not in a subaru! I'm game, I keep that stuff around for jigging. Might be able to make it look nice too! Thanks

"Look into Acrylic/Lexan. You can buy thin pieces at lowes in the plexyglass isle. You can "glue" the glass together and make whatever size cell you want. " I thought lexan melted to easily. I think that might be the ticket though!

SJR Group Buy * LIFT Kits , EJ swap *

I'm in! I can drive up too. -
Hi Ya'll, I just wanted to throw some names out there too! I'm a left leaning capitalist republican who votes democrat reads progressive and has voted libertarian and socialist, once catholic, who went unitarian, yoga nut job and ponders Zen Buddhisms while meditating and loves Jewish history! I want to run my car on water and I wonder if, with enough HHO gas could you ignite diesel or vegetable oil, like you would with a glow plug, but in a normal gasoline engine? You know ....just to get off of gas and have some more alternatives. I'm buying my parts already! Who has found a good box to run the electrolysis chamber in? I'm looking for a 4"x4" by 8" or 10" seal able container and I was hoping for clear. I just don't want a rubbermaid pos. I was also thinking Nalgene bottles but the shape makes it harder and smaller so I would have more of a plumbing mess. Has anyone with a running HHO system noticed a loss of a few horses due to the alt?
-
Yeah! I hear that! It can't be that hard! It seems to me it could be cheap to build but laborious to pay for! Bless the Weber!

Dear God.... -
Hi, to all the people fighting to understand where this HHo generator thing comes from here is the link to the main article. The first page is a great eye opener to those who nay say. Remember, the first real working light bulb is still burning and hasn't burnt out. I havent seen one on a car yet, but I want to. http://www.free-energy-info.co.uk/index.html Chapter ten has a couple of HHO generators. You can also google "HHO generator" and find tons of info.

Napa's like $45 and you have to bring in the inch measurement.

SJR Group Buy * LIFT Kits , EJ swap *
Yo'J replied to Scott in Bellingham's topic in Products for your Subaru
I'm down with a 2"lift and a full EJ swap kit as my donor is an auto! I'd have it already but I havent had the time to run up there, so on price, I'm always looking for a deal. Oh I just need to get the EA82 power steering crossmember for my EA81 and I am hoping the lift can accommodate that. It plug and play from there right? -
I wonder if the water vapor system could work as well like its claimed. I'm glad we are all here, unafraid to do our own mods, unafraid to do things out of the norm. 100% HHO running cars seems to me to be something way off as it would take an independent starting system, assuming you could really run without gas. I wouldn't want to try to engineer that. I'm just interested in better economy/less emissions. I think car manufacturers are afraid to try these little improvements thinking its too far from the norm for folks to understand. If you have a problem and your car explodes, a short with a spark and a leak, for example, they would have to fix it. Imagine Volvo, with more breakable, over engineered parts that they, the dealers, have to try to get to work right in the first place. I would hate to be one of those guys! Their own dealers call the new ones crap.

SO whose system works best? I got to get a line on this....I want the links!

"You cant get more energy out of a process than you put in. this is another variation of the same scam that has been going on for years-see http://www.phact.org/hafc.htm among others links if you do the research..... Reply With Quote" Less than twenty lines down, the link says to try smacks booster. There are lots of links out there to these dime store hydrogen boosters you can make. I think it might be an option to 100% gas. In retrofitting subies there is a post on HHO relating to this. It is still another fluid to change under the hood but might be worthwhile if you do the work, i.e. your energy. I hear alot of truckers use it. We will see, I'm interested and Im going to submit it to a friend to see if the computer side of this can be made for multiple vehicle type applications. The can of water is easy for older cars! OOOH! I have a test vehicle!

price for an ej setup

weber throttle linkage binding
Yo'J replied to hatchsub's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I found the end of the oem cable attaching to the hitachi bracket on my weber was rubbing on the fast idle linkage (or whatever it is, in that spot)until I ground it down. I didn't think it was the problem until I had someone else on the petal while I looked. -
no tail lights or dash lights
Yo'J replied to True2Blue's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I just had the same thing happen to me! I re wired everything till I noticed the melted cluster attached to my radiator! Took me two weeks to find and fix as it would only short out on the rainy days! After a little careful prying and a good dab of rtv ! Glad I don't have to drive the freeway with my hazards on anymore! PS don't let uhaul re wire your lights! -
So I'm wondering what the points to ponder are in the "New" version of the "ej it" statements are gonna be. If you can ej it now with the carb, what are the benefits and the downfalls going to be. Obviously time of installation are a considerable benefit. What about engine maintenance, durability of a durable engine, and mileage? Scott, here is to you!
-
Scott, are you going to save me a million miles of wiring? I saw a zenith stromburg carb that would maybe bolt right up on your block off plate. I don't know if it would fit or work really or the price of one but it might be a bolt on conversion. Right shape anyway. Another thought I had was for a bolt on box, semi triangular, to mount the weber carbie on the stock inlet just in the rear. I'm sure you could cast a perfect one with good flow. Bolt it on and drive away! Go back for the wires later if you so need them! Would anything be in the way? I don't have an ej in my car to look at yet, I just got my donor and I will look today. And everyone i know thinks Im the only one crazy about roos. I would have no hair without this forum!

Yay!

I'm gonna need you guys/gals to give me some support I know! I'm in the seattle area but haven't met any subi folks around here. This will be my third subi but the farthest thing I will have ever done to any car and I hear its not so easy as a bolt on ....anything. I'm about to get the donor this week. How many hours on does anyone think/ know it will/can take? I thought about a ea82 but cant find a good one and found a great donor.
