4.11 differential question

4.11 differential question
baccaruda replied to baccaruda's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
then 4.111 it shall be!! coming soon... -
get your nit pickers ready! On a stock 3.7 LSD sticker, the gear ratio reads "3.700." On a stock 3.9 LSD sticker, the gear ratio reads "3.900." (right?) On a stock 4.11 LSD sticker... would it read "4.110" or "4.111"? It has three decimal places so I'm not sure which it would be... If you wonder why I'm asking you'll have to wait a while :brow:

Qman's over 6" and he said he fits fine with XT/XT6 seats transplanted into his Brat. The XTseries seats sit lower. I can personally affirm that they sit lower, as I'm 5'5" and I had to adjust the XTs in my brat all the way up to see out

grinding noise turns fatal
baccaruda replied to Mysticcal's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
this could also be the hub having stripped out as well. Take off the hubcap or whatever, when you do this, so you can see the axle nut as well. If it spins, the hub is toast and the axle may or may not have been harmed. -
nice job! that looks perfect.

I think you're right, Skip.. and look at the custom radiator support / intercooler bracketry.. that front clip is probably just for a test fit...

My idea for multiple seating options for the Brat
baccaruda replied to Qman's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
That looks cool.. I'd suggest a headrest for the rearmost passengers as well, and an additional rollbar in the back might be good as well.. then you can make a canvas top for it... -

adding an inline oil cooler (for turbo)
baccaruda replied to baccaruda's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Mike, thanks anyway Pat, that's awesome. Thanks. That explains why the drain passage underneath is so wide. I took a good look at the turbo area today and it looks as if the oil feed line to the turbo comes straight from the oil pump. I'm certain that it's downstream of the stock oil cooler (which also comes straight off of the oil pump) because why wouldn't they give the turbo the coolest oil possible? So, maybe there's no need to add an oil cooler right before the turbo. But.. I need to change the oxygen sensor. I need to remove the turbo to do this, I'm pretty sure, and the header and downpipe gaskets need to be changed, and I might as well change the oil drain hose, and maybe change to a watercooled turbo while I'm at it. AND I'll be receiving my intercooler this week as well. So I'll have plenty of time to figure it out while I'm in there.. -
Holy Flintstones!

help with a couple items please.
baccaruda replied to trikerbob's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
hm. and what would you say is the ratio of feedback cars produced vs. nonfeedback, and is it possibe or easy to put a nonfeedback setup in a feedback car? My Brat's new owner is having the same troubles with the carb that I did, and it's a feedback model as it had an O2 sensor as well as duty solenoids... -

Rick, is there an easy way to tell under the hood if a car is a feedback model or not? -
ea81t 4wd coupe; how rare?
baccaruda replied to Jack in Norfolk's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Richie, do you have any straight-on side shots of the blue coupe below? My new coupe is the same color and I have a set of the aluminum body cladding for a coupe; i'd love to see what mine would look like if you have a side shot? have a banana -

Removing LSD from the diff carrier...
baccaruda replied to Frank B's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Hm.. I'd ask a driveline shop, I have no idea why Subaru went out of their way to put a torx in there. Maybe the head's a lower profile than a standard bolt or something... but it sounds worthwhile. good luck -
could be that as well.. my toe looked straight until i put the control arm bolts in (last), then i had to readjust the toe. Consider the spring compressor as well though.. good luck!

you're welcome and good luck! -
I respect others' suggestions to chase the threads, but if it's not too far in there, I wouldn't bother, as the threads are so coarse that they'll self-correct if you can get it to line up straight. wait, if the manifold's off the car, then yeah, inspect the threads... and maybe just get a new manifold if they're chewed up.
