  1. I think #3 has a problem on all subaru engines seems to be the hole that gives me the most trubble i think it runs leaner than the rest
  2. I built a few solid lifter ea81 turbo engines still have 3 long blocks kicken all rod knocking but no cracked heads. Also noticed that your heads have had the spark plugs rethreaded with inserts make shure there is no leakage around the inserts
  3. went over the buggy with a fine tooth comb couldent find any damge or problems from weekends race just the two broken rear axles and one torn cv boot on the front. The rest held up very well and the engine runs better now than when we started
  4. Just need to make more power and more power and more power up agaist a engine mangement wall
  5. I can plane those heads in ten minutes they come out nice cracks i cant fix
  6. well lets just say those boys were not to happy about geting beat last year ! they may have upgraded a bitt. Buggy was fast pulled 4 good times ran flawlesly we kept slowly turning up the nos by end of weekend we were running a 0.32 nos and 0.18 feul jets. The problem was feul preshure is fixed now and are math is lining up. Engine ran very strong and no broken axles during the race did break two on a lanch into the deep hole contest so i backed out and whent thru in reverse 2wd was a wild ride but whent thru. We have some vidio of it. Anyway the fastest time was a 5.17 with Matt driving in the mecanics pass. fastest time in the class is around 4.50 - 4.00 so we are still a wase off came in 4rth outa 4 but 6 passes and 2 deep hole passes and no broken pistons ! i'm shure we have pics but will take us abitt to get them on here you may find some on the NWMRA site
  7. the closest to no jeted carb whould be a SU carb but still has a jet just one big one all carbs must have jet or they could not work
  8. 2 wire air bag or 3 wire airbag conector ? have both the 2 wire one is impreza / forester the 3 wire is outback and legacy. This is very commen had 3 this year
  9. on almost evry brake job i do the ends of the pads have to be filed to fitt and the pad caliper braket has to be filed were the pad sit it like to rust and biuld up so when new pads go in they dont stick on the ends
  10. my 80 brat gives a pop when i shut it off just minoir tho think its from pinholes in the exhasut leting fresh air into a hot feul enviroment check for any exhasut leaks at the front
  11. have had problems with conectons inside the ds fender well by the fuse box on the heavy feed wireing
  12. If headgaskets are not leaking could just teardown top end and reseal and retorque the heads at same time
  13. the 90 model had extra wireing conector for tps / tcu by the battery a clear 3 prong plug have seen them get coroded there and cause grief the sensers are perty reliabble have never changed one or seen a problem with tps
  14. Off to races will be back on tuesday going to go kick big block butt
  15. I have had to modify the timing belt tentioner on some as belt is to tight is easy to do
  16. Got tierd of fighting stuck subaru bolts / nut bought me a 3/4 snapon gun 1250 ft lbs this whould take it off
  17. Piston slap on #2#4 i remove the pistons and knurll them reinstall and noise will be gone i do this when i chage headgaskets come in knocking and leave dead silent. Piston slap gets quiter as it warms up rod gets louder as it warms up put the pistons to the top of bore and rock it top and bottom se how mutch rock it has
  18. Dremel tool with thin wheel cut down one side to relase it the get new nut
  19. I use the felpro headgaskets with avinoic formagasket coating have done 30 this year and five in last two weeks have never had one come back in ten years for second time head faliure. I plane every head have my own planer and i get mirior finish makes hudge diference. Have never treid a turbo gasket I like the felpro becuse is just slighty thicker than stock gasket this compensates for head planeing no pistons touching heads
  20. New kill switch and alt the 02 outback alt had the abillty to self energise with no wires hooked up so kill switch whould not work so downgrade to 96 outback alt and two pole master switch and fixed whent from charging at 15.5 to 14.20 and way less load on engine thiss should help out my electronics. Also changes the nos extra feul pump from 9 psi pump to a 40 psi pump the 9psi pump was geting overwhelmed by boost preshure and was not giving enuff feul. Now 0.28 jet feul 0.22 jet nos is small but safe zone
  21. have been fighting the tcu for years was always defaulting to 3rd half track couldent figure out why thick i overheated the temp senser or somthing but it made it unreliabble to run tcu at least now its garented to work. One switch on the shifter in 1rst out 2nd 3rd 4rth might be scary
  22. I i had a $ for every mud wasp nest that caused me grief in every spigot hose hole you name it preshure is erelavent flow is what matters on the ea81 they had a fillter on the neddle seat that realy liked to plug up and is only acsess from inside carb have had many problems with this screen pluging
