Naked Buell

Do it again. You probably didn't have something lined up right because if you did the rotor would tell you. Just start over and double and triple check as you go.

What explains the light on the dash always being on??? Is there a switch on the tranny that is stuck on something?

Hey guys, I was wondering how to check to see if the center diff switch in my Rx is working. The light is on regardless if the switch is turned on or off. Any advice work be great. I finally just took out the bulb in the dash but I would like to fix it so everything works probably. Thx

I had one do the same thing. Opened it up and behind the valve was a hole I could stick my thumb through. Of course it was a ea82T but didn't have any luck with the heads once you see the crack. I had a machine shop weld and reground but it happened again later down the road. I upgraded to a better engine.

Thx for the reply TurboSubaruBrat. That helps out. It is good to hear GD is still doing good. I really enjoyed hearing from GD. He definitely knows his stuff about the Subarus. He bought a tranny from me some time ago, Rx 5 speed. Any how, thanks for the info. If I need any more info when it comes to the older subies I will be sure to shoot you a line. Thx again.

Sorry, mis read. Actually I have never seen a block do that before.

Hey guys. Was looking around for the info about the ea81 head differences just to know what I have. General Disorder was so great about knowing these things inside and out but I haven't seen him around on the site for some time. Also, I have seen people mention JDM when they are referencing engines. Can someone explain that to me so I am clear about that too? Thx. There used to be some great links to read through before but I haven't been able to find them.

Every set of heads I have pulled for the ea82T, I went to the turbo side and pulled the head, they were cracked between the valves. I have set them to a machine and had them welded and reground, and it happened a second time some time later too. In my opinion that engine, ea82T is just garbage. The N.A. ea82 is fine. That is the reason why Subaru made the 2.2T so awesome because the ea82T just didn't cut it. I hunted for heads when my heads cracked and literally every engine I found and pulled the head off the turbo side showed me it was time to change to another motor period.

Wow dude, be happy you didn't wreck. That could have been way worse. Regarding axles, sometimes cheaper isn't better. Some things are totally worth the money,,,,good shoes, good tires, and good parts. Glad you are okay.

Welcome to the site. Awesome site and the guys here know their stuff. I thought I knew subaru's but I am in 2nd grade compared to some of these guys. And what do you mean old girl?? I have an 88 Rx and 85 Brat. He He. I love subarus.

Cool. Thx. I will take a pic so you guys and I know for sure, but that makes total sense now. So just leave the vapor line unplugged? It will be fine???

I may have, but explain it to me. To be honest, not sure what that does.

Okay guys, this is for all you who have the ea82 mpfi engines, or if you just know. So I changed out the engine in my 88 Rx to an ea81 for now, ej coming later. The question is: Right under my master cylinder, on the want-to-be frame rail, I have a hose that I believe went to one of the connections on the fuel injected fuel rail. Can one of you guys look on your car and tell what that goes to? I have mine plugged right now and I am wondering if it should be or not. I have been having problems with my weber flooding with excess pressure when I shut her off and I notice that I have pressure at the gas cap when I open her up. Yes I have the right fuel pump, I put the brat's I had into her. I am thinking maybe I need that line to be vented or I don't know. I just hate having lines plugged to nothing and I want to know. I cant find anything in the manuals with a pic. But it is right under the master cylinder and it has enough line as if it came to the top of the motor. Any advice???? Thx guys. Without each other and this site we would be so frustrated.

Cool. Thx man. I appreciate it.

Unless you can find a subie laying around up there for parts, it looks like you are going to have to hit a pull and part wrecking yard.

Cool Thx. Right now I sent an email to a company and thats all they make is suspension parts so I will let everyone know once I get it.

I believe I had delta cam did mine.

I bought my first Subie because my Ford Ranger's clutch was going out, it then snowed 28" and the Subie kicked butt. Oh, it was an 85 Gl wagon with low range, wouldn't go without low range because the snow was so deep, but I was seriously impressed. I was the one taking everyone to work. I sold the Ranger and never looked back. Now my whole family drives Subaru's. I love them. I have a Brat and an Rx and my wife drives the Impreza 2.5i, my parents have an new outback and so does my sister. My neighbors even bought them once they saw how I can get around in the snow. Like I said, I love them.

Yep, I had mine reground and it was pretty inexpensive. But most machine shops can do it, especially if they deal with imports.

Hey guys, I was wondering if any of you know where to get replacement bushings for the rear diff support that bolts right to the rear diff? It's the big bushings that the bar bolts to the car. I have a Brat and an Rx that need new ones?

Yep, I rebuilt mine and it was surprising cheap.

I had the same thing happen to me in my 80 Brat. Thought the transmission went out. Took it to a tranny shop, the first thing the guy did was jack up the front end so both tires were off the ground, and held the cv axle with one hand and spun the tire. The tire spun but the axle didn't. Broken cv. Another time, my friend's axle nut loosened up enough that it stripped all the splines on the hub. Got a new hub and it worked fine.

type in; Weber DGV DGAV DGEV Float leveling Instructions. That is the video.

Look online for the weber adjustment. I found a weber tech video of an older guy, obviously been there a while, show you exactly how to measure with the carb. Awesome video on utube. It helped me to make sure I had my adjusted right, especially being that it is coming right from weber company.

I have a 85 Brat with a 2.2T and I have an Sti 5 speed in an older outback case. With my whole set-up I had to have a custom driveline made which was only $150. I believe the newer trannys are shorter than the stock ea tranny, hence the custom driveline and I had to make a custom bracket for the tranny to mount to the ea body. Hope this helps.
