Thats a good idea... thanks.... Maybe I can just run it to the pillar and chek the wire from there to the light.... and reuse. Is the ground for the light just the roof under it(above)? I really didnt look... Thanks

I checked fuse 3 as the owners manual says... its good.. the grounds good... powers a no show... wires are plugged into the socket on the back(pulled it off the roof) any ideas, I dont want to rip up my headliner Thanks

kingbobdole replied to Vanislru's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Yeah, I paid like $7 or so each for mine... Not to rob this thread, but heres a question... I recently did my exaust manifold gaskets, and now I need to pull the exaust again to do the O2.... Do I NEED new gaskets? -
Has anyone ever... (different subject lol)
kingbobdole replied to [ i ]nsane's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Hey, This probably isnt the best idea.... Not saying it cannot be done, but the issue is you only have 1 big fuel injector and the mpfi cars can have fueling issue with boost. Also, the spfi heads would flow very poorly.... I just think its gonna be a lot of work for very little more power... Otherwise, Your list needs to add a fuel mangment comp cuz I'm not sure if the sotck one can keep up... maybe a bigger caddy injector or something? An exaust system... intake piping... I think thats about it -
hill hold or no hill hold?
kingbobdole replied to karinvail's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
My XT6 doesnt have it due to me doing the tranny swap and being lazy. I agree that it is very neat, great for people just learing how to drive a stick. My 87 wagon NEEDS it. The thing has soo little power that if you let it roll back even slightly while going up a real steep hill, you either slip the hell out of the clutch or stall it. Its also fun to scare people with. -
Sooo... If your driving it on the street... and some guy pulls up next to you and... asks you if its turbo.... how hard do you hit him?

too much cooling with the scoop on
kingbobdole replied to JWX's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Once I put my turbo hood on my 6 it does the same when its cold out... I never had any problem other then the heater kinda being sucky.... Airs only warm. -

kingbobdole replied to subaru_styles's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...

EA82T + Turbo Lag = teh SUCK!
kingbobdole replied to TheSubaruJunkie's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
You could just sell it and buy an XT-6:rolleyes: No more torque issues. -
A transfer case with a bad marriage. Sorry, I'm tired and sick and hopped up on cold medicine.... Probably shouldn't even talk.

gearing to 4.11 questions
kingbobdole replied to greggbrat's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Ok, I'm so lost. Anyone know what a 2wd xt turbo 5 speed would have? Is there a difference between 2wd cars and 4wd cars? -

kingbobdole replied to NorthWet's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...

EA82T upgrade to spyder intake
kingbobdole replied to 88GL10T's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I have a question.... Are the spyder turbo injectors and the normal turbo mpfi ones the same? Is the N/A distrubiter and the turbo distrubiter the same? Will the N/A spyder pitch stopper work with the 87.5 Turbo spyder(I think so)? Will the N/A spyder throttle cable work with the 87.5 Turbo spyder(again I dont see why not)? Thanks people... -
having probs with my ea82
kingbobdole replied to dragonwingsubaru's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
We need more info... like: Does the car have enough oil in it? Was the engine know good before? Did you rebuild the carb? Is the accelerator pump all dry and cracked? Is it blowing fuel out the carb? Hows the stream in the carb look? Do you have new ign stuffs? Why not hook up the carb totally, then check it? -
EA82, '88 DL Wagon, & highway performance
kingbobdole replied to Syonyk's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
My 87 DR carbbed wagon does about the same... only 84 horse for me, but I dont really expect much. -
? for you guys with a MAF air filter adapter
kingbobdole replied to DrKrazy's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
My "ghetto" filter kit came with a cork gasket... If it didnt I would have used RTV:brow: -
Your little wagon ROCKS!! I love it. Now I'm stuck if I wanna throw the spare on the roof or the back door.... Thats a great shot:cool:
-
Yeah, almost done savin up for it!

ummm... no air filter? did you even plug in the MAF?

Brat & XT6 CarbonFiber Hoods
kingbobdole replied to Gravityman's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I would also be intrested in a XT styled hood, but I'm really a fan of the "xt-turbo" style scoop. My car doesnt run 14's (least not at a mile high) and I think it doesnt really need to stand out more then it already does. If you could make a replica of an 1987.5 XT turbo hood (aka, with dual mounting points), with a place to bolt on the stock turbo scoop, I would buy one at $300, no questions asked. I wouldn't need a scoop even as I'm currently running the 87.5 hood, I just love the way it looks.:cool: -
