the sucker king

so even though there have been 1 million post about this, let's here and now have a throw down of those pros and cons? i would like to know what those who would know think about this (i'm talking to ANYBODY that has experience with both.)

IS THIS A BELATED APRIL FOOLS POST???? and it all went down in the church parking lot.......... i was gonna post pics of my stock ea81 turbo-hatch.

i found a '90 loyale RS turbo in a junkyard. no tag on the diff and the car was on the ground. auto trans. does it have an lsd? vin #JF2 AG57BOLH800552

i actually printed out ed's rant from the old board. it should be in the subaru textbook! give me your email and i'll send you a scan.

so.....why don't you just say what this is really about andy? you're moving cause i said i was gonna kick yer rump roast. well sleep with one eye open..........

yes they were stock i think mostly in 83 and 84. supposedly they are not good. the two barrel webers are the 32/36 dgv models. one coolthing is that the one barrel carter/weber has a 36.5 mm bore to the barrell. i'm thinking of putting dual carter webers on my 1600 to see how that goes.

realy? i would need such a long downhill i would be in HELL by the time i got to 110 mph in my ea81. you sure that aint kilometers? i honestly think i aproached 90 in my hatch. once.

as i understand it, a weber 32/ 36 is named such for the diameters of the two barrels. what are hitachi carbs? and espesially, what is the size of the carter weber 1 barrel?

i have the x-member from a 2wd auto 1980 (ea81)hatch and you can have it for free. i'm sure it's the same (you pay shipping) you may also need the brackets that the leading rods mount to. i might have those or i might have thrown them out. i'll check. let me know through email or PM if you want what i got.

today (tuesday the 16th) i sent shirts to: NoahDL88 Nuwan camosuba patsco1 nicky nighteyes bratrus1 roonator dave i got your adress. mail it just as soon as i can. and that's the last of them...... good day.

thank you. just a bump to get this thread in front of the sunday morning crowd!

oops, the old grey mare ain't what she used to be.

1.) i took my junkyard 32/36 dgav apart and the only thing i can't get out is the secondary throttle shaft, which comes out about 1/4" and then gets stuck. i am afraid to tap it out w/ a small hammer and punch. any suggestions? 2.) i was planning on just soaking the body parts in carb cleaner, blowing out all the little holes w/ compressed air, and putting it all back together w/ all the new parts in the rebuild kit. the manual sais to reseat certain points. i don't have the tools to do this. is this nesseccary, or should i just clean and re-assemble? 3.) i found a bunch of old posts about jetting, but nobody stated flat out what an ea81 (and how about ea71?) should be jetted at. anyone know what the manual sais? also i plan to compensate for altitude. i live at 5500 ft. and most of my driving is 5500 - 8000ft. there was one post that said you subtract 5 from your jetting for high elavation, another 5 for really high elevation. but that doesn't nesseccarilly make sense to me, shouldn't the air jets be bigger at high elevation? i assume a 170 is a bigger hole than 160. 4.) i think i would prefer a manual choke. easily done? 5.)anything else folks who have done this rebuild can suggest?

i think a board member WJM posted recenly abour running high compression on a turbo ea81. he's doing it, you should talk to him.

how so? i think i mixed and matched.

test the radiator cap. a bad cap will make a car overheat when it ought not. pray it's that simple.

i did a 4wd conversion on a ea81 hatch and it was easy. not quick, but relatively trouble free. no body modification required. don't take any one persons word for it, check out the tunnel on YOUR car. i guess the doability may very year to year, model to model. i think they made 4wd stds in '87, so maybe your car won't be any trouble at all. maybe you'll need to bang on it a little. if you can find a 4wd car in non running order, you could pick it up for a song, and you'ld have all you parts right there. one word of advice would be to line up a friend to help with the heavy stuff. swapping the rear end torsion bar/trailing arm assembly is a pain in the rump roast to do alone. (but ultimately you can do anything you set your mind to)

it's important that you use a torque wrench on the pressure plate bolts. i only mention this cause it sounds like you may not have put the clutch back on right.

you throw out too many #s there. i don't know what cars had these diffs you're talking about there. my point is that the diffs from datsun 510s are the same exact diffs as old subes minus stubs and maybe gears. or are they not? aren't the cases the same and everything? only weight differences being that of different stub and gears?

thanks for the tip. i talked to her today. she was very knowledgable. she said the engines were made from '77-'79 and they had a different cam than most, it was the same hi lift cam used in the FE coupes of the late '70s. (i wonder if these cams were in 1600 brats, too?) she said as far as she knew the heads were the same as all others, though. she also said i guy at burt toyota knows more about them. i'll talk to him when i can.

definately keep at it and prove them wrong. your car rules. and you can make it better on a shoestring budget. that's part of why it rules.

were the gen1 wagons 3.9?

this thread is drifting off topic. let me help it drift farther off topic. i just saw in one of those auto classified mags that they sell at every respectable gas station in the u.s., someone is selling a delorean w/ low miles and in perfect shape and it's all decked out to be an exact replica of the one in back to the future. i believe the flux capacitor is clearly visibe in the photo that ran with the add. they wanted $35,000. and you know what, i say it's worth every penny. i don't think it actually can travel through time, tho. so if that were important to you, you should probobly look for the one it was modeled after.

are you saying that when you "almost killed yourself" you were busting out some evasive spy tactical meneuvers? what's the story?

if they're selling, that IS what they're worth. i have a datsun 510 friend and he sais that their diffs are the exact same,the diff itself bolts right up. but i think they have to change the axel stubs or something. so we would need to do the same to use theirs?
