Hello everyone I am back. A longtime ultimate Subaru message board member, since like 1997 I think, anyways I have returned. I have some super cool news that I want to share with all of you. I have been simulation racing online for years now, and for the last couple of years I have been running my own twitch channel to some relative degree of success. I have 920 followers as of this message now. :-) so among other things on this channel, I stream Sim racing games, specifically rally usually, but I also do live music, and coming up in February will be broadcasting autocross racing as well. I'm looking for people who want to be in and around the channel, and the real life racing team. If you have any interest in being involved feel free to stop by the stream and say hello, and let's talk cars. On Twitch my channel name is NathanielTragic, which is my stage name from my real life band The tragic evolution. You can Google these things if you want to know more. Currently I am set up with Bridge City Auto sports to do autocross racing next season. I was able to attend their last event this year, and placed great times. As for things that may interest you Subaru people specifically, a friend of mine is going to be building his first rally car with my help. we are going to put all of that on stream, and I will be reaching out to you my long-time Subaru community for help and parts when we need it. thank you so much for reading, and I hope to hear from you all soon. It's great to be back! :-) Nathaniel Tragic on Twitch.Tv Aka SubyAddict

So I want a LSD 4.11 for my '92 legacy. Where can I find this incarnation. Is mine a r180 or 160 rear? VLSD? What cars should I watch for in the wrecking yards. is this the same size/direct fit as WRX 4.11 LSD? thanks in advance for any help.

The transmission will literally bolt-it, you will need a pressure plate intead of a flywheel. You may need to clarify how the car controls the auto, and make sure those circuits are available or put into your car, because that is the 4EAT transmission E for electric control, not vacuum, and AT for auto trans. There may be some clearance issues in the transmission tunnel, nothing a hammer could not fix. If you can wait long enough on this thread I'm sure some here can direct you to an answer. Lets help out Fender Bender guys! Who can make him a kit? or give a wiring diagram? Subyaddict

'83 gl wagon(color 243) is my old subaru, I just picked up a '92 legacy L wagon AWD (color code 281). what do I need to know. I know EJ parts fit EJ cars. How about a ej20t swap? Is this a good car to do it in? I know the axles are different , but are they the same length, and can I use the stock hubs for the turbo axles? Any other helpful EJ tidbits would be great,or just direct me to links to old discussions. BTW, I'm not really new here, you may recognize my sign in as far back as 2003. Also BTW, if anyone is looking for specific parts, let me know, I have great sources. Nate

ok I've checked all the hoses I think. The advance is still not coming on. any other ideas. do you think if the egr was stuck open it would inhibit the advance?

thanks

Please forgive me in advance, but I can't find anything here on tis very stupid question. I suspect that my egr valve is not seating all the way. Would this cause enough of a change in vacuum pressure that I might notice a significant drop in power and advance? Is there any way of cleaning it? This may be multiple causes, but any advice on the subject would be greatly appeciated. Thanks Guys, Nate

what anout 89 coupe drag racer with xt6 motor and turbo?

I have an ea81 motor in my 83 gl wagon. It looks like it's finnaly time for the passenger side headgasket. Any suggestions on what gasket material OEM? Copper? What are your opinions? I think I'm gonna rebuild the whoole thing for alittle mure power and such. Balancing, new pistons (ea82 spfi?), hi-pro bearings, port polish, valve job, cam regrind Any other suggestions or info? This car will eventually be sporting a 6" lift. Peace, Nate

Like Ross said, the trick is to make sure it's going in perfectly stright. I used the 36mm axle nut socket to tap it in(using a hammer of course, not the socket), working the the socket around the outer race to keep it going in straight, if you had a socket (or some other short cylider) that was exact same diameter as the outer race you could just tap it straight in, if it still won't go in better pull it back out, and do some investigating. Make sure the knuckle hasn't been bent along the outer rim, just a slight distortion can make it impossible to get the bearing back in because the tolerance is so tight. My left front outer bearing had this hang-up, so I had to hammer and grind and polish to get it back in shape, but it works with no problem 1 1/2 months so far. But as for doing this job easily, next time I'm buying a slide hammer, there's very little swinging room under there as we all know. Good luck, and if you get mad don't blame it on the subaru, blame it on whoever drove it abusively (even if that's you, I know I'm guilty) Later Nate

I think the only really tricky part about doing this is trying to get the calipers aligned with the rear disc since the bolt holes are made for the smaller caliper without the e-brake lever. once you get it aligned, with a combination of math and custom brackets the rest would be as easy as it seems. This alignment issue is the only reason I haven't already tried this myself, but i'm putting on vented discs in the front with the corresponding calipers, so I will have the standard calipers the test and measure with. I'll let all you guys know what I come up with. Of course someone on this board could possibly offer some useful information for this conversion, or tells why it's too difficult. later Nate

Has anyone ever ran spfi pistons in an ea81. looking for higher compression /more torque before putting on the lift kit. Any other information related to the idea would be greatly appreciated. custom pistons might be nice too/ but expensive.

Power steering. Seems to have a little play on the pass. side cylinder Should I put new seals in it, or just get a new tie rod?

Thanks guys. I think I will be helping him put in the turbo kit and the wrx tranny. Nathan :cool:
