MAN I Don't know what I like more, that kickass header, or the fact that engine is spotless!!!NICE!

How come these pistons not look the same?
Probably difference in turbo, carbureted, or SPFI

HELP! problems running after reseal **UPDATE: problem pinpointed**
That happened to me when it was running on two cylinders. (My timing belts were off, both marks were up when I put them on.)

So I just got a weber.....
I think that is a manual choke and the DGEV is an electric.

disty installation
The disty goes counter clockwise. You're # 1 cylinder is the one closest to the driver's side F R O N 2 4 T 3 1 The firing order is 1324. The #1 cylinder is on the passenger front, #3 is passenger rear, #2 is driver's front and #4 is driver's back. Did you follow themanual to put the timing belts on too? If so, they are probably wrong. There are valve timing marks on the flywheel. They are three marks together. Put the pointer on the center one and then put the passenger's pully up and the driver's down. then put the belts on. then turn the engine over, by hand, and put it back on the marks, they should line back up.

tranny swap
Subaru_styles and I were just talking about this. He's gunna use the 4wd Pushbutton to engage his diff lock on his RX Wagon. It's a GL with an RX trans and diff. He said something about the button's wiring harness being the same as his diff lock's. Maybe you PM him. (Subaru_styles His name is Brad). I understand what you mean. Everyone was over thinking it. The Diff lock switch isn't anything special but a switch. It completes a circuit and tells the system to lock the diff (which uses vacuum selenoids). But yes, the 4wd pushbutton is a on/off switch. It will work, but I'd ask Brad.

Carnage
That kinda supports people's reasoning for having nice brush guards(Should be deer guards) and a lift. Hit the deer, it goes under.

Transmission Diagram
Hello. Does anyone have an exploded view, or detailed pictures of the internals of a EA82 5spd 4wd tranny?

Interference Engine?
Hello, is an Engine in a 1998 Outback isn't an interference is it. I don't think it is and was just making sure. Oh, what does the pulley, on the lower left side of the crank do(It's part of the timing belt system)? Is it the oil pump. I'm asking these questions for someone who has mechanics telling them that there motor is shot because the pulley sheared off the, what I think is the, oil pump. Thanks, Justin.

Who purchased John Bloom's RX?
Hello all. I was wondering who purchased John Bloom's (Mudrat) RX. I was wanting to ask them if the block had a crank case vent on it. It's a carbed block. I believe it would be to the left of the KNock sensor in the back (By the bell housing) Thanks! Justin Johnson

Gas Milage, TOD's, and Oil leaks
I've had the same luck with Marvel's Mystery oil and ATF. ATF wins in my book. (It's cheaper) Yeah, oil change, with cheap oil, substitute a Quart of oil with 1 qt ATF. Run it fairly high RPMS...like 5 or 6 grand for 5 seconds at a time(Whatever you are comfortable with) I drove my at 6.5k for 10-15 seconds(I was pissed), it went away.

New Subaru Owner
Yeah, sweet name. If it is an EA82 (that's the generation) it has timing belts. One easy way to determine this is to look and see if it has plastic on the front of the engine, this houses the belts. There is a great write up on doing timing belts. If you're gunna do the belts, might as well do the pump and vice-versa. One thing to watch out for is to line up the VALVE timing marks on the flywheel to the pointer. There is the ignition marks...you know 0...5...10..15..20 and then there are three marks close together, no one knows why there are three, but you line the pointer one to the middle, and put the passenger side pulley with the mark up, and the driver's with the mark down. then put the belts on, minding all the marks. Someone correct me if I am wrong. And please give a link to the write up. WELCOME TO THE BOARD!

Is there a welder in the house?
HAh where is cornelius? I'm in eugene, if it is closer. OH yeah, I weld too.

Quick flywheel compatibility Q
Are EA81 and EA82 flywheels the same, or relatively?

Who drives their Justy fast & on long trips?
Or towing a trailer, have you seen that one video of the justy pulling a 14 foot trailer up a hill, It's all smoking and stuff, goes off camera, then you hear it stall, restart and gear grind, then it slinds backwards down a hill and crashes into a bank. It's the funniest thing ever.

Help!Resealed engine...zero oil pressure..FIXED!
I agree with the 7000RPM, but put half a quart of ATF in there, it's a detergent...it'll clear up your lifters. At least that's what I did, never had noisy lifters again. about 7 oil changes later too.

250miles... 11 gallons...
My GL-10 Turbo wagon gets 18mpg no matter how I drive it. Lead foot or light foot. Highway or city. Same. But, I think that it's getting better mileage now. Because I am at 150miles on one tank, thats "half" full. I ran a bottle of Techron through it in the last tank, with 89 octane. I believe a bottle of techron every 5 tanks is a good thing.

idle speed...old subeys are sexy...
Well telling us what kinda car you have is a great start. I'd change the fuel filters in it. If it is a car before 1984(or a hatch until like 1989) Theses are referred to as "EA-81s". It has two (well one is a seperator). One is in the engine bay (has three hoses on it) and there is one in front of the rear passenger side tire by the fuel pump. replace them both. If you have a car that is 1984 or newer (exc. hatches) these are EA82s. They have one fuel filter in back of the engine bay on the driver's side. Has one hose in, one hose out. (Is this the same on carb'd EA82?). Have you checked the spark plugs, distributor cap and rotor, and plug wires? Hey welcome to the bored. Most of us are also not in the posistion to have a mechanic work on our cars. [HTi]Johnson

My pipe-dream for low rpm turbo spooling:
SOmeone might have said this...but why not use that compressed air and route in to the intake. I know you'd have to put it in front of the maf...and make some sort of device that prevents it from cleaning out your airfilter(Going the wrong way). This would help in short bursts, but having your car compress the air in an air compressor then sending it through the intake would probably be redundant in long usage. Good Idea tho.

got another sube!
I don't believe that the justy has an interference engine. I mean, why would subaru decide to make an engine have interference?

87 Tranny Swap/HELLO!
Hello. Welcome to the board. I did this same swap on my 87 gl-10 Turbo. You'll need: -a 3.9 rear diff -Manual rear driveline -5spd Dual Range tranny -Manual tranny crossmember -shift linkage (all of it) -center console out of manual -front axles from a manual tranny car (I think, mine was turbo, which is the same) -Flywheel, flywheel bolts, pressure plate bolts,and clutch pack -Pedal assembly (for the clutch pedal) -clutch cable Did I forget anything anyone? Oh yeah about 4-6 hours and a keg on tap:drunk: Oh yeah, as for the 50 extra HP...do an EJ engine swap!! And if you do the swap, you'll have to crimp some wires together in the harness that goes to the automatic shifter. So the car can start. It's the Neutral/In Park switch. Good Luck, feel free to ask questions! [HTi]Johnson

Off Road Lights Anyone?
Those are awesome. Last time I put fog lights on my car, I rolled it the same day. I'm kinda apprehensive for my GL-10s sake.
