EA-81, the way it should be
Turbone replied to RenaissanceMan's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
And why leave the a/c stuff on? You can pull the EGR off and put a plate on it . Looks nice tho, are you able to close the hood with that aircleaner on? Rob Side note, just remembered this is a Cali car:-\ -
Hey Tex, have you thought of drilling and tapping the housing? There is an extension there with a flat spot just for the plumbing (I just looked at mine). Want to help me do the install of mine when I get the 88? Rob

The headlight switch sounds like the same as the ones on our 1985 and newer Soobs. By pushing in and turning it, with the key off, you have parking lights. As far as I know, there have never been any factory rear fog lights installed on US Soobs. It sounds like the wire to the fog lights might be making ground somewhere and blowing the fuse when turned on. The fog light might be part of the parking light circuit, or else making contact when it shouldnt. The plugs in the engine bay are probably for testing a certain circuit. I dont know what circuits tho offhand. Hope this helps. I've seen pics of your hatch, did you get the rear lights finished? Rob

question <could not think of a good subject line>
Turbone replied to oddcomp's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
As I stated in my first post:banghead: Go to NAPA. They sell it by the foot, in different diameters. And its not the blue crap, its orange/brown in color. I know its not perty, but it works. Rob -

If you have never done this, your in for a PITA. Call Napa and get a price on silicone hose. If its going to be done do all the turbo water lines. You may have to (most likeyl) lift the intake to replace them, so that means you will also need the gaskets for that. Do hope you have a manual? Rob -
You do know that when you put oversize tires on, that it changes the speedo reading? Rob

HELP, New to Sub's...random engine shutdown
Turbone replied to Highway 101's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Another point I just thought about, and which happened to me also, seeing how they replaced the head gaskets, some electrical connections might have been moved/disconnected. Check all the major elec connectors in the engine bay. Rob -
HELP, New to Sub's...random engine shutdown
Turbone replied to Highway 101's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
It could be the electronic module in the distributor. It happened with my 84 turbo wagon, and a few other cars that I know of. Someone in the marketplace might have a spare, or you can look in a local PAP. I think theres a couple in Oly. Rob -
From Caleb on the 16th - The reason people are down on you is because you didnt follow directions. You asked for help and the ones that have gone thru the emissions BS told you what was needed. The ones that passed without touching the engines were very lucky. Personally, I think you should sell the car, the EA81T is to complicated . Rob

What is a fair asking price???
Turbone replied to MrCid's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Put a new thermostat in it. That will help. All Soobs mark their territory, just some mark it more than others. It could need a reseal on the oil pump and cam seals. Rob -
I believe these wheels only came on 84 Turbo's and GL-10 models. Rob

"Lola" needs your help please
Turbone replied to Twowagons's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
The fuse for the fan is not even close to it. Its an in-line white plastic covered fuse to the left of the steering column under the dash. Rob -
electrical problem.. not enough to go around?
Turbone replied to baccaruda's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Definately check your grounds, especially the one from the battery to engine. Rob -
How would you fix a gas tank puncture?
Turbone replied to NanoSoob's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
The stuff that TomR was talking about is what I have. Works pretty well on the smaller stuff. Have you considered another tank? Rob -
Glad you were able to get the car going again. The EA81T can be pretty finiky to say the least. The flasher unit is in that general area, if you turn the flashers on it will help you locate it. I'm thinking its above the fuse box. Rob

I have some stuff in my shed, made just for sealing gas tanks. I'll see if I can find it tomorrow. Rob -
OMG theres JDM stuff for our cars
Turbone replied to JWX's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Ok, I did some searching and found this link to an article from April of 2002. Granted, its 1 1/2yrs old, but the info answers alot of questions (and myths). http://www.autospeed.com/cms/A_1338/article.html Rob -

Turbone replied to JWX's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I would love to back to Japan and see if they have wrecking yards there like we do. Travel all over the Island picking up stuff along the way, then shipping it back to the PNW. I could probably retire off the proceeds:D Hey Honey, I'm going to the JR, be back in a month. Rob -

How do i remove the bumper frame
Turbone replied to MaroonDuneDoom's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
According to my 86 FSM, the holes are hiding behind the wiring harnesses for the lights. You need to move them to access the holes. Rob -
