the issue with the one in our shop is the customer is experiencing a "lack of power". I test drove it up a moderate hill at 25 mph and i had it floored. it didnt quickly accelerate or downshift, just slowly increased speed.

I need a throttle linkage to hook the carbs together. My engine didnt come with one. So either i need to jimmy something or i need to find a supplier of EA-81 dual carb parts (LOL)

I see. i wasnt thinking of putting a front toyota part on the back of a subaru

its a switch with a flip down cover i bought at O'rielly's. no lights, just the sun was lighting it funny. What ever was there did not come as an option in my car

Hey guys i need all the info and links you can throw at me to find info about the gen 3 automatic three speed. We are trying to fix one at our shop and are having a heck of a time getting info about it. Any PDFs, USMB links or anything else would be great! Thank you

Just used some butt connectors. i might use some electrical tape if i can get to it later

A 4runner has a rear coil spring with a shock, not a strut. That would be used on gen 2 subarus that have torsion bars. There is no use for one on a loyale.

ok. figured it out. the brown wire on the TCM wire bundle.

So i have read about 10 different threads on various subaru boards, and i still cannot determine where the wire to splice into for the diff lock is. The only thread i found with pictures is old enough to not display them, and there isn't anywhere that says what color the wire is or anything. I did find one thread that said to splice the green wire w/ red stripe behind the passenger kickpanel, and that turned out to be the driver side auto seatbelt wire . So has anyone who has done this mod on a first gen legacy help me out here? Thanks

I think there is something wrong with the strut you had. all of the gen 3 lifted and non lifted Subarus that i am aware of are running stock struts. and we beat them HARD. do you have any lift? what tires are you running? how do you drive off road? find a used set at your local pullapart/pickandpull/ etc. should run you about 40 bucks.

back to life! Now, has anyone ever done this or heard of this? Twin webers on a dual carb EA-81. I found another one at a wrecking yard today with a subaru adapter! So either i am going to slap this weber on the motor currently in my wagon, or i am going to have a dual weber EA-81. MUWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

i dont know if this type of lift will even work on a new gen subaru. I know a few people have done it, but i am not sure how it is done.

OP should do a pressure test on the coolant system. That tell you exactly if and where an external leak is. A decent pressure kit can be found at your local harbor freight, or borrowed from a local mechanic in trade for a 12 pack, pack of smokes, etc.

I forgot to add, my car has an automatic transmission.

Is it possible to add factory cruise control to a 91 Legacy L? I was pulling apart the dashboard and i noticed wires for the CC button. Is it a plug and play deal, or is it more involved than that. What i mean is, are all the wires there? do i just need to get the button and the module?

Dude. I made this thread a year ago. Yes, as long as all the bell housing and cross member bolts have been removed, the engine should pop right out.

did some work on the motor today. pulled off the intake, and cleaned up the block. I found that it still had coolant and oil in it...

try an aviation supplier

These motors are very hard to get and the intakes don't match up with a regular EA-81 head. Mine is only the second one i have seen

My plan is to put it in my wheeler wagon. I have wanted an EA-81 to put in it, because of the torque, and my jelolousy of Butters (One Eye's wagon). So this fell on my lap, and i am excited to see what happens. Reading around on the board, this motor should have around 100 hp? Or if i am super lucky, 120!! Oh yeah, to piss you guy off even more, i got the motor for the one time only, super low price, of FREE. (insert evil laugh here)

well, i want to see if a local aviation company has some of the stuff i am looking for stuffed in the back of their closet. i figure they should, they sold quit a few of these motors back in the day. Something about purchasing a shipping container full of them.

So, this is the reason why i am looking for parts: Whats that? You cant see it? Let's try this: I have found, and now own, a JDM twin carb EA81! My boss inherited it when he bought his auto shop 4 years ago. It sat in his garage ever since, and wanted to get rid of it. It is a JDM crate motor that was purchased about 6 years ago, according to hearsay.
