cmiller

I know a bunch of us have been throwing the idea around so I wanted to start a thread to organize a run down to Sand Lake sometime January. The ATV's, Dirt Bikes, etc... should be few and the sand should be a bit more packed from the rain. What weekends work for those interested? I talked with Chaz and Sundays are good for him and fine with me too. Let's shoot for the 17th of January. We can all meet at this location say around 10am, (Sandlake Grocery & Gas). Its 11 miles South of Tillamook, OR. Looks like each vehicle is required to have an Off Road Permit which we can get at the gas station there, a 9' orange flag on vehicle, and a working fire extinguisher. So far we have going: cmiller TeamCF scoobyclimbs mthoodsub daredevil1166 obk25XT MrGlegacy Gloyale sube4X4 coldfusion21 Breeke 4tes We will be on CB channel 22. If any changes or additions please let us know. Looks to be a great group!

yeah Sand Lake!

Looking good Greg, almost there! Happy B-day old man!

Just added some EA82 rear disc brakes today. Really easy swap. Wow, what a difference!

Congrats! You'll love having that engine!

I just did the swap to my '92 Loyale, (same type of car as your GL just fuel injected) and I love it! No more gutless turd of an engine! Here's a link to my thread on the whole process and things you need: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=103355 The costs are based on how resourceful you can be. Alot of parts for the swap can be found in a wrecking yard. I listed out where I got all of my parts in the thread above. Feel free to ask me any questions, I may have some answers. Hope this helps. -Chris

one fan needs to be switched on through the EJ ECU and the other I have as an auxiliary fan on a switch.

I can't remember exactly. Easiest way to find out which one is to use a test light and turn the key to different positions. That's how I found out what each wire went to what.

Yep removed mine.

Here is a fun video of Petter Solberg and Ken Block driving in Germany at the Baja 300 Powerdays event along side trophy trucks and buggies: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiK4EgI6dgE&feature=player_embedded

Here's a link to a video on the 2010 Dakar Rally Forester. WANT!:slobber::slobber: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TeVp9tmsvMk This thing is sweet! Very beefy build to survive the long rally!

You would definitely know best, thanks for the info!

Well,... the obvious of 50 more HP is one things I noticed, now I can use 5th gear on the freeway going up hills. No more leaky, gutless, old crappy designed EA82 technology under the hood. All good things! Sorry, I've been sick this last weekend and now just playing catch up with work. I'll get to it this weekend and let everyone know.

Using the factory EJ22 y-pipe with no problems.

I'm a noob when it comes to wiring and I could do it to my Loyale, the EA81 should be alot easier with less crap to have to splice into. And yes the power is nice:grin:

:headbang::headbang:

all you have to do is finish, game of survival.

This is what I did and its been working great! http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=103355&page=10 Cheap and easy to do! You all ready have the parts. Just get some larger inlets brazed on the EA radiator to match the EJ hose diameter and problem solved.

I went to two different Radio Shack stores and Fry's Electronics and neither had a 275 Ohm resistor, the closest I could get was 270 Ohms. I'll try that and we'll see what happens.

Good times! Nice and sloppy!!

Today I was able to find a 300 Ohm 1/4 watt resistor but no 275's. So I guess tomorrow I'll try to wire in the resistor and see how much better the gauge reads.

I'm just going to do it this weekend and see what happens. Radio Shack should have something...

What have you done for your temp gauge to read accurately?

Nope, its treated so it doesn't rust, galvanized or something like that.
