I have a very sad Brat (engine lacks power)
Flowmastered87GL replied to moped's topic in Subaru Retrofitting
on a note of lacking power... my stock 82 brat with a poor condition STOCK carter/weber (not the weber "32/36" you could install) did 0-60 in about 18 seconds I think it ended up faster than that after the weber swap even with the huge oversize tires it ended up with. -

1987 Brat...how'd I do?
Flowmastered87GL replied to opus's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
if there really is no rust I bet you could get a nice paint job applied to it and sell it for like $4000+ on e-bay -

you could swap it to an EJ engine from a legacy.... but if you want to go the simple route, reseal your current engine (if you can determine the internals are good) head gaskets, oil seals and such and throw on a weber 32/36 carb. Way more power, better mileage and you can take off of most of the emissions stuff and still pass emissions testing (as far as tailpipe emissions go) if they look under the hood not sure (California for example) -

well it shouldnt be putting out that many volts. Since you say advancing it all the way helped some maybe pull off the timing covers and make sure both timing belts are properly in time. May be as simple as moving the drivers side belt 1 tooth. Of course at that point if they are off time I would just replace the belts.... and water pump... and oil seals -

Way Cool Gift from Friend for the Older Gen

Sweet, you need a thick picture frame for it so you can mount it on the garage wall. Glad you arent opening it. My manuals are full of grease and the spines are broken from setting tools on them to hold the page open -

WCSS10 Location and Date Set!
Flowmastered87GL replied to WCSS's topic in Meet n' Greet. Your USMB Welcome Center
Not sure of the onsite stuff, but Warrendale is really close, as is Astoria depending on which way of business route 101 you go. I for one will be restocking my beer supply (if it runs out)at the Rite Aid in Warrendale because I know how to get there with my eyes closed since I work for em Dunno what to do about food... I was just going to live on Beer and Oranges maybe -

what is this on my subaru 1990 brumby?
Flowmastered87GL replied to kiwi subbie's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
you could cut them off, but I would just bend it straight. The engineers put it there for a reason. If it breaks off though... eh no biggie -
Driveline/vibrations 86 GL
Flowmastered87GL replied to dem577's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I had my U joint go out... mine was on the rear diff end of the driveshaft. It was WAY off center by the time it nearly failed. $25 for a used low mileage part and a beer mug to have a friend (thanks Mark) put it in and I was back on my way I had like 270K maybe when mine died. The transplant had only like 115K It did what you are explaining too... vibrated... mainly under power at higher speeds. Not so much when coasting. -

loyale lacking power????
Flowmastered87GL replied to scoooobie_du88's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
just throwing this out there too.... my GL was terribly slow when the catalytic converter clogged. Once it exploded the power came back . Not saying this is the issue, but it is a possibility. I would more likely lean toward something along the lines of BOTH sides of the engine being in proper time with everything. -
