Is there such a gearbox as a close ratio AWD that bolts direct to an EA82 motor Iv'e never heard of such a box but was told they do exist ??

Anyone know where I can get the flywheel (ring gear ) bolts to the engine for a EA82 turbo ?

Does anyone know if a 1987 brat (brumby) ignition lock assembly will fit a 1991 brat (brumby) or where and if a 1991 lock assembly can be purchased thanks ARJ

Ahh the sound that sounds right and legal (just) I have a brumby with a EA82 Turbo (genuine 60k on motor) Three inch exhaust one straight through hot dog and one standard muffler sound is 1 decibel under legal a really nice note .Sometimes I insert a 3 inch OD to 2 inch funnel fitting into the tail pipe as the back pressure quietens the exhaust to only just audible. Just a silly cooment but true

Confused ?? different answers without a pressure regulator on the outlet side of the inlet manifold it would seem you rely on the pump pressure I dont think the ECU controls the pump pressure as there doesn't appear to be a sensor there . Think I'll look for a rx fuel pump or as I was told a pump from a twin tank F100 . Can't see how you can get higher pressure on boost without a sensor control to the pump as increased flow would result in pressure drop pure physics ,Capacity is litres per minute at rated pressure increase flow results in pressure drop to maintain pump capacity . Thanks for advice This is interesting and fun to test these theories

Does any one know what the fuel pressure should be for a Subaru RX turbo EA82 .I have a complete motor all attatchments ,ECU and wiring harness plus a new never used 5 speed hi low range box to suit 3.7 ratio which I wish to test run on the garage floor . I either need the fuel pump to suite or to know the required fuel preesure. Can anyone help ARJ

Thanks for help. Problem was distributer vacuums advance bellows stuffed would not advance the timing. Grandson said sounds like timing isn't advancing under load smart little bugga only 11.. A suck on the tube and tongue over tube hole no hold vacuum . God help us oldies ,New dizzy , reset back to mark runs fine GUESS WHO FEELS STUPID

Should of mentioned on turbo ea engine it's easier to put two stud bolts into engine flange one either side to align sump pan without it sliding to one side thus wiping off permatex as I said maybe over the top but hay it works ARJ

Disagree with the experts personal experience tells me different ,coat the pan surface with permatex , smear one side of gasket completely with thin coating of permatex lay coated side of gasket on pan with screws through bolt holes (to insure alignment of holes) slight pressure all round on gasket leave an hour or two until it hold shape over holes ,Coat other side of gasket with thin layer of permatex , coat engine flange with thin layer of permatex bolt sump pan to engine take up pressure only to ensure full surface contact evenly all round . Leave 24hrs then tighten to either torque pressure or about half to three quarters of a further turn, "don't over tighten" . The permatex on the gasket helps stop it spreading . Permatex black seals larger gaps and sticks better to oil usage situations than either grey or copper ,but these work just as well Over the top maybe but guaranteed to seal always . Always clean surfaces with degreaser wash clean dry ,then permatex gasket cleaner or brake cleaner either works fine

These alignments I know and have followed. Left side (facing foward) when the hole in the in the pulley aligns with the notch in the plastic it slowly overheats when driven constantly at 110 kph - (65mph ) or higher and pings under load when temp exceeds normal .When the hole is after the notch say one belt notch towards 1 'clock it consistently pings when under load but doesn't get hot yet when one belt notch before the plastic notch say towards 11;oclock it runs fine. Doesn't make sense andI

Doesn't make sense The timing on the right side is set to the marks all good the ,left side set to cam pulley mark engine runs hot and under load and pings set mark on left side cam pulley after mark engine pings when not hot under load and looses power , set to cam pulley before mark engine runs ok doesn't ping or get hot . Mark refers to the slot on the back timing belt cover . Any ides why cam pulley has pin so can't be wrongly positioned , timing is set by no1 plug on opposite side (piston 1 )

Anyone ever use permatex ultra copper to coat a oil pan cork gasket . Thinking this because of its extra adhesive qualities ?

Thanks think I'll stick to the standard struts and discs have a rx rear disc brake system and just fitted an imported EA82T motor I purchased as an import 4yrs ago ,kept the bore wd40 filled since; engine is like new no colouring of engine pipe perfect compression even timing belt was like new no residue inside covers . ,brought a ea82t new never used 5 speed dual range box last year off ebay ,all fitted into a brumby - brat with the legacy booster ,Only changed the dizzy so I could run the three plug ECU not the 4 plug as the engine was originally fitted with also changed the throttle body to one from the 3 plug ECU .Three inch exhaust . Wow runs very smooth, cold idle 1500 hot idle 800 Sounds great runs great stops great .Maybe not up to ej turbo but the as new ea82t is great . Running gear etc might be from the early 90s but as it is all as new runs like new . Now to strip and customise the the little fella Now a EA82T fan PS runs a 7 to 10 psi boost adjustable mostly use the 7 psi

Think there is a misunderstanding here I wanted to fit the Leone RX turbo (ea82t) 1986 to 1989 front struts with the larger brake callipers and rotors to a brat ,brumby the angle to the wheel axels is slightly different to the standard brat , brumby struts . Will this cause when'll alignment hassels The disc mounts can be redrilled Maybe spacers on strut mounts to compensate for angle difference .? ARJ

Is it possible to fit later model struts to a brumby- brat to get the larger brakes and a new wheel stud pattern ? Help needed

Anyone ever tried to fit a ca18 into a subaru brumby , brat .Probably get kicked of this site for this but just wondering a ca18 is easy worked up to 200plus kw with all wheel drive at brumby.s 900kg weight awesome . Put one into a Trump TR7 once for drifting over square wheel tracks was fun .

OK think I now have the info I need to make things work correctly I either need a four plug ECU or a knock control unit I take it that MIC-9 and ECJ-8 are only terminal blocks . Shall look at brumby tomorrow to see if it has a knock sensor mudule and go from there . Probably easyer to fit a knock sensor control unit , The imported motor does have a knock sensor located on the drivers side of the crank case breather valve (Aussie RHD) . Wonder if the 001 ECU is designed to work as a 4 plug does ,wouldn't a timing hight show if it did this by altering the timing along with engine revs . Which ever way it goes think I now have enough info to sort the problem and wirering diagrams to wire in either dizzy Wow its appreciated that you guys take the time and trouble to pass on info and help Regards ARJ

Slowly think I'm getting to understand thanks THE dizzy with the vaccume advace is a 22100AA063 D4R84-49 0707 WIRE COLOURS plain yellow -- black+white stripe into one plug black+yellow stripe and black+red stripe into 2nd plug this came with the ECU 22611 AA001 but the vaccume hose blocked off The same dizzy but with vaccume working cane with an ECU no 22611 AA062 The non vaccume dizzy 22100AA450 Wire colours red - black - white -green as Corvallis advised as to what they are Can I use the non vac dizzy with either ECU both are three plug ECU's Can anyone tell me what those wire colours go to on the vaccume advance AAO63 dizzy( the yellow and stripe wires) do they connect to the ECU as Corvalliss advised re the non vaccume dizzy THANKS

Should of explained brought the brumby with a ea82turbo already in it the ECU no is 22611AA001 with other numbers underneath the first numbers (124) 179-0001-1-A the vaccume advance was not connected This engine seized thanks to a blown turbo seal I have a 2nd ECU out of a 86 RX came with a good motorwith a vaccume dizzy but the block leaks oil fron the front joint (where the two halves bolt together) Brought an import engine with a non vaccume dizzy . As the first motor had a vaccume dizzy without the vaccume hose connected (b;ocked off) , thought I could run the import motor with that ECU . Both dizzy's have four wires but different colours . The vaccume dizzy's wires are on spade lugs in the rotor section under the dizzy cap the non vaccume dizzy wires come from underneath it and I cant tell how they are joine inside Would like to use the correct distrubitor but don't know which wire goes where if all else fails shall use the vaccume dizzy with no vaccume hooked up but are the internals compatable with the ECU The points print out seems to have to many injector connection in section edited by jono or maybe I cant read it correctly Thanks ARJ

There is no vaccume advance fittings on the dizzy ,just a straight dizzy with four wires comming out of the bottom of rotor housing section not out of the side like on dizzy's with the vaccume advance on the side of them Not like the photos you posted Thanks Blaine shall try to post a photo thanks

As to knock sensor not sure its been raining non stop and Brumby is in storage at the moment only have new motor thought both have same loom plugs except the old dizzy was hard wired by previous owner , and the vaccume advance was plugged off so I think the computer is right for this dizzy . It seem all import motors come with a smashed dizzy this one has a cracked cap and a hole in the alloy body but I brought a 2nd hand one in good condition from NZ .Believe it does have a knock sensoron in the motor if this is located just behind the gearbox housing . Sorry all this is new to me previous hobby was vintage chevy's no such thing as wirering looms knock sensors ecu's etc To hot things up a holley 4 barrell carby was the go 4 bolt bearings and a shaved head (on the motor not the owner) Hitachi dizzy 22100AA450 D4P86-01 A8704 NUMBERS AS THEY APPEAR ON DIZZY 4 wires red , green, black , white different colours to vaccume dizzy Thanks to both for your imput help ARJ

Does anyone have a wirering diagram for the hitachi non vaccume advance dizzy .It has a four pin plug wires coming from underneath the dizzy , not sure as to where they go ?

Not sure what an XT6 is and did they fit straight on without any alterations . I think we have the same models in Aus as NZ Where did you import from ? Thanks for the help Regards ARJ

I have 92 bRUMBY "Brat" with a ea82 turbo with RX rear disc brakes fitted . I want to fit the RX front calipers ,the mountings are different , has anyone any clues or done this before . Not sure if I can change the whole front strutt as the angle of the axle brake mounting section of the RX and also the L series appears different to the Brumby ,,Brat

Dont have the diff only the gearbox is there a way to tell without dimantleing it ?
