Need help with a logo for this year's WCSS
Dr. RX replied to ezapar's topic in Meet n' Greet. Your USMB Welcome Center
Well I guess we could have one in Hilt, CA. -
Damn, I didn't realize that I was that strong. I have dead lifted an EJ22 from the engine bay of a car in a wrecking yard into a wheelbarrow I had place beside the car. I doubt that I can lift 300 pounds. I guess I'll stop by Gold's Gym and see if I can. PS: I did remove the A/C pump, P/S pump, and alternator before lifting it, it still had the flywheel and clutch on it though.

Is there some way to loss the text "WASHINGTON"? I think it is obvious what state is it and seems to clutter up the image. If you can do that, maybe remove the text over the mountains also. Since you don't have the original art work that may be pretty hard to do. Corky -

Nice Spanky, but it should be WCSS 7, the 2005 should be in the date below Shelton. And why have just the old Subrau emblem, all Subarus are welcome. -
Not necessarily true, the 85 and 86 Sedans came in many colors, it wasn't until 87 1/2 that they started making them white. But with the digi dash this is definately not a RX.

At least he moved it to the correct Gen, he had it in 'Old Gen' to begin with. Sorry I mis-read your post, but adding a few word might have helped, like "Found a car, I'd like your opinion on, it's a 1992 Legacy, 2WD, auto, MPFI, nice shape, $1500. What do you think?" I don't think I would have mis-read that one. The early Legacys are good cars. The last time I was in Oklahoma it was pretty flat and didn't snow that often so I think a 2WD would be good enough. If maintained properly, the EJ22 will last a long time 200K plus.

Is this engine saveable?
Dr. RX replied to hooziewhatsit's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Hell, the short block that I have for free looks a little better then that, I don't remember it being that badly pitted, but it's free to whoever wants it. It is defiantely a rebuild candidate since it has a bad rod. You want it, you pick it up. Corky. -
This is the reason why I would have stayed with the EJ series tranny. True it doesn't have the dual range (I'm still working on that), but it more then makes up for that with teh better torque.

Great looking ride, but I would agree with Zap, I too prefer the Outback XT. Hey Zap, I like the body style of the 95 to 99 better, and if yoiu stay away from the Outback or GT, you'll get that good old EJ22 (at least in the 95 and 96 model years). Northguy, it is an Impreza sedan Zap is selling, not a Legacy.

So the pinion gear of the rear diff has ten teeth and it meshes with either a 37 or 39 tooth ring rear, but the ten tooth pinion gears in the trannies are different enough that a 39 tooth ring gear won't mesh with the ten tooth pinion from a turbo tranny? Well I have change many rear diffs to know that that works, but i have never tried the tranny ring gear, I guess because I consider it such a hassle to take apart. So Noah, what are you after, the gear ratios of the RX tranny in a N/A tranny?

See Ed how easy it is to post a picture here. I know I've seen a Subaru here on the Plateau with these wheels. Now I'll be on the look out. -
welding turbo and air intake on a carb?
Dr. RX replied to blacklabel's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
If I remember correctly, it has a SU side draft carb on it, and it sucked through the carb. -

Dr. RX replied to blacklabel's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
LPG is not far wrong, the best way to utilize a carb and turbo combo is to have the carb on the suction side of the turbo (draw through), this requires the least bits of modification. You can blow through a carb, but there are more mods required. One way is as suggested, build a box around the carb and pressurize that box with the turbo, Another way is to drill holes at 90 degrees to the trottle shaft into the carb body where the trottle shaft passes through, you will then need to add a small piece of brass tubing to the hole. Now you will have to bleed off some of the pressurized air before the carb and pipe it to those tubes that you have added to each side of the trottle shaft housing. This will pressurize the trottle shaft and will not allow blow by. -
some pics of my brat an impreza
Dr. RX replied to Ratty2Austin's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I have a prefectly good hood (not a WRX hood) for your car, it is black though, not sure what a good price would be. -
It sound like it might have been wrong parts, but just because you found something that said Nissan on it doesn't mean it is the wrong part. In fact Nissan and Subaru make a lot of parts for each other, I even have some Subaru factory installed Mitsubishi made parts on my Impreza, this is not an uncommon thing with Japanese cars.
