  1. my spfi does it. matter of fact ive seen outbacks and legos do it too. it just depends on how fast you take that long right hand sweeper and how long it is. nature of the horizontal beast
  2. happens to all of us. slow down on the sweeping rh turns, youre sloshing the oil over to the left and thru the pcv. as for the TOD you probably starved the oil pump slightly for a moment due to the centrifugal force, resulting in low oil pressure.
  3. not that this is terribly helpful to your post but you will not be anywhere near 160 hp with a ea82t. search around. then set that motor on fire. secondly, lifting a car doesnt change how the trans works. as for open/closed diff q's i hear youtube can clear you up with helpful as to which trans is best for asphalt. 4wd=no center diff=offroad. awd, center diff, if difflock is engaged it acts like 4wd. lifted guys use dr 5mts because of the lo range. and welcome aboard.
  4. hey man, whats up w the blazer? i posted in your thread. dibs if its not garbage. i have a phase 1 ej22 w red top injectors on the stand right now. thanx, Rob

  5. howdy Abe, hope this finds you well. Im wondering if you ended up with any dr5mts and what it would take to procure one from ya. i have a 92 lego carcass w signed release of interest (sound familiar?) that im done dismantling and its time for it to go. i figured id give you a crack and see if youd want anything to do with it. anyway happy memorial day weekend, Rob V

  6. where in Wa are you? im near tacoma and can look @ your car. i feel like two brains could hash this out. pm me if ya wanna get together
  7. i doubt ill make it off the coast this year, but hit me up and ill ship em to ya
  8. dude, i havent been to trout creek forever. got family in three forks. i got a set for ya $20 shipped. lmk if this helps, RV.
  9. i have a bracket set $20 shipped. if you are so inclined RV
  10. yes, however i think one from a 3 door may differ
  11. swap the mirrors, they fit and theyre cool. grab the trans, which one is it? the lsd your buddy has is a vlsd and isnt worth it, in all probability. as opposed to old soob lsd which are clutch type (and rebuildable), the vlsd is actuated via a viscous (V) fluid which wears out and is inserviceable. unless this unit has way low miles on it steer clear
  12. id like to add that there does exist a bracket (2 brackets actually) that came on non ac ea82s stock. it moves the alt to where your compressor currently is. this eay you can check your coolant w/o getting bitten by your alt fan. i dont remember having to buy a smaller belt, but i thnk the shorter of the two belts that are already there. my 86 gl already had the bracket, my 91 loyale did not. make sure to get the little washer that goes in there, its like 1/4'' thickor so. hth, RV
  13. yes. if you dont want bad karma remove the refrigerant by approved means. itll actually free up a small amount of power. the same thing can be done to eliminate power steering, if you were so inclined. a non ps rack is adviseable but i drove a 83 gl w/o ps hooked up.
  14. low end grunt goes up, gas mileage goes down. peak hp/torque are unchanged or changed very little. why do it? because the hitachi sucks. like really sucks. if it were up to me and my car id convert to spfi. it can e done for the same $$ or cheaper and it gets better mileage over the carb. you could also swap in spfi pistons which, iirc are higher compression. hth, RV
  15. :horse:sounds like ea81. what year is your soob? we need info in order to give answers.
  16. check your fuel filter lately? that was my problem. hth, RV
  17. it IS a soob engine, so itll take some abuse but two oil changes worth of miles is hardly a testement to reliability. another thing you can do to postpone 'motor go boom' is install an oil cooler. and most ea82t savvy folks will tell you 'go to the dealer and order EVERY hose/seal for that motor.
  18. drop it out of an airplane. if you overboost that thing youre gonna wish you did. you wont find a lot of threads on bumping up ea series engines because its cheaper, easier, smarter, and better all around to ej that puppy.
  19. that looks strangely familiar. well done Tom!
  20. my old boss had one of those. make sure theres no cracks in stuff like the disty/cap. timing could be off and, iirc vacuum was kinda a pita on that thing. we did a bunch of work on it and it was still gutless. 305s, pfft. is your tbi/electrocarb doin its job?
  21. it is my understanding that you cannot run air suspension on only half the car. you either need to convert all four corners or replace with air struts, then the rears will likely blow up too. but yes you can use struts (at least) any gen1 (89-94) legacy. hth, and welcome aboard. RV
