Could be the exhaust. My friends 86 GL-10 did this all the time... Does it just happen once or is it continuous?
-
Multi-meters are multi-use lol. Not bad to have one... and its not like its an expensive tool... -
You can cause a short.... I wouldnt do that. Pick up a cheap multimeter from your parts store and check it. I believe I use DCV 20 on my multimeter. Youll want to do this while the engine is running. At idle is fine. Hook up your multimeter: One end on the positive terminal and one on the negative. Over 12.5 volts should charge the battery but youll want at least 13.5 volts for reliability. My reading is 14.34V on my EA82 and 14.3V on the Legacy. Chances are if your car is running once jumped, the battery isnt holding charge and needs to be replaced because that means its running off the alternators power which is NOT what the alternator is designed for and can fry the alternator... then youll have to replace the battery still AND replace your alternator. Here is the output. And it is "DCV 20V" that you want to use.

Come on guys! Need more people to come to this event! Show off your cars, new and old, talk and brag about them. Maybe some off-roaders might find some trails out in the boonies nearby for some fun afterwards? Hope to see more than just little Ned there!

Excited for progress pics I had an 84 DL Sedan briefly... GD and I EA81 swapped it with a weber... BOOYAH that thing cooked its tires!
-
EJ22 shouldnt have had a cork gasket... Mine didnt... just RTV and I RTV'd it back on... Ultra Grey - No leaks.
-
Congrats on getting it home They are a bit more powerful... Just wait til you want MOAR power
-
Ahhh I still love your Legacy! Gonna hopefully get something similar next year for my Dad so he can have as much fun as you do Keep up with pics and videos!!

So, Jeszek, sorry to steer away for a second (not 100% steering away) But I have a green dash in my 1986 GL Sedan... I thought you had said early EA82s meaning what I thought was 1985-86 and then someone said 1987+ got the green dashes... Does this mean mine was swapped out and Ill have to remove the green tint first? Edit: Answered my own question, Ill probably just get an 85/86 dash if the tint is going to be a pain lol.
-
You can use a rubber mallet and itll pop off. If youre not reusing the rotor, just smack it off. I had to use a puller on my Mitsubishi awhile back.... man it took 30 mins to pull it off even with the slide hammer and puller... The guys at the parts store said they'd never seen rotors so worn down.
-
There is the one in the offroad section I think? But yea thatd be awesome. Probably pretty hairy stuff there Fairtax! I have done some stupid stuff offroad, glad Ned takes the abuse cuz I need to be more careful.
-
Thanks Jeszek! I read the tally wrong, I only counted 12, but saw the extras. Thats a pretty cheap mod which is good, plus I need to replace my low fuel light anyway, stupid thing doesnt work Still deciding upon different colors, I love the white look but I do want red and then maybe the white for the fuel light, those would stand out from eachother.
-
So whats your final bulb tally to replace all the bulbs? I might as well replace all mine... 86 GL so I dont think I have the green tint...?
-
Thanks! I wonder, I dont see a red or a blue alternative... Would the like stained glass paint work? or do you think itd make the bulbs dim and not be any better than what Ive got now?
-
Stuart! I wanna hear the exhaust! I had a 6000K HID. It was great but my ballast went out so now I'm back to stock headlights til I get my projector kit
-
I know Im not the first to do it, but Im excited for it Loyale steering wheel in Ned (1986 Subaru GL sedan) Next stuff to do: Now that the horn should work (need one more part from Junkyard) HELLA SUPERTONES! Nissan Alternator 205/60/13 tires on my Jackmans New brake rotors and pads HID Projectors Headgasket Then Ned will be good until I figure out bigger, better plans

Projector lenses into GL/Loyale buckets
92_rugby_subie replied to Turbone's topic in Subaru Retrofitting
Curious about the wattage of the kit as well, I assume the 50W would be better as my 55W HIDs were nicer than my 35W HIDs... but now one has burned out and I dont want to buy more... gonna get it done right now Debating about picking up some more headlights or just using mine and hoping I dont crack it I found 9004 HID projectors... so they should be plug and play and then the careful sanding/polishing... correct? Any benefit/disadvantage of sanding the entire lens? Obviously time consuming, but would it make it better? -
Ill pass on the info to my Dad. Got a discount code by chance? The text I got from him: Pulls like a demon through 2nd gear, got it up to 65... next year, engine upgrade! I told him car upgrade, frankenmotor in FWD just seems like a bad idea... but it made me smile. BTW, hes not use to the EJ22 power, hes only owned EA82s and an EA71 before.
-
Its still smoking from the cat/y-pipe pretty bad.. 2 ideas: Clogged cat? or Oil leak ( but everything was resealed :/ ) I finally plugged in the O2 sensor, which hasnt been plugged in since we owned the car... so im not sure... O2 sensors are expensive if I have to go OEM like I think...
-
I really couldnt thank you guys enough, and really thanking GeneralDisorder, if only you guys knew how bad I bothered that poor guy!

Heres the quieter motor sounds... No weird noises now, and the ticking stop... Subaru gods are happy??
-
Oh, showed none on the dipstick, I added 4 in the beginning about a week ago... so I knew it had some, 1 quart of oil brought it above full on the dipstick, so it has oil now, and the ticking should go away but Im worried about running it with the new sound. Almost sounds like something is bouncing around in the oil pan but I cant figure out what would be...
-
So there was no oil in it, even after I put 4QTs in... kinda confusing, but it was run a few times like that... Working on making another video of the noise its making, the lifters are still ticking, but this sound is different... and I cant pinpoint it.. It smoked real good for a bit though... Thinking if a rod is about to go... or a bearing or whatever this is, its the Subaru god saying to frankenmotor it :/

Here she is after her first bath in about 6.5 months!

ALL fuses inside and outside are good :/ but still no hazard lights or radio... They worked before though, so something has to be different, but it all looks correct :/
