Wasteland

Dude I've got the diagram I think you need, but am too stupid to upload them! It's 6 GIF's, about 120000 kb. E-mail me @ crazyoneeyedmonkeyman@yahoo.com and I'll reply with the diagrams. Or if anyone can walk me through posting multiple GIF's as attachments I'll throw them up here. Roc

I also have some pics of aHitachi off of an EA 81 that might be helpfull and some of the bottom plate of the air box, but I can't find my card reader to upload them from my camera. I'll try and get it together this weekend and can post or E-mail them as needed.

Ok, to start I can't find any pics of an EA 82 to show you, and I sold my GL wagon in the spring, so I don't have the car to use as a reference. I also tend to makeup names for things when I don't know what they are called, but I'll try and be as descriptive as possible. Things you'll need: 1 gallon anti-freeze 1 set intake gaskets Deluxe multi pack of vacuum plugs 2 3in x 3in x1/8 in pieces of aluminum 1 3in 10mm length of allthread 1 can or tube of RTV 3 pennies 1 air box top from the J.Y. 1 plastic elbow plumbing fitting from the hardware store 1 12pack of Old Style or some other cheap beer Black Sabbath Volume 4 (you can sub with any early Sabbath album) Now I'm assuming that the car has a Hitachi carb and is non AC. Also you may want to remove the alternator to give you more room. Crank up the Sabbath! Jack the car up, block the wheels, etc, etc. Take off the air box and disconnect all the lines and hoses, chuck that but keep the top part and wing nuts. Next disconnect the fuel lines, master cylinder vac line, the heat selector vac line, the chock/vent solenoid wire connecter from the carb, upper radiator hose, throttle cable, along with the temp gauge and oil gauge wires (and anything else that connects to the intake). Unplug all of the wires going to the little emission solenoids. Now you can start tearing all the lines off, remove all the 3 million brackets and vac lines from the hard lines on and around the intake, dump the vapor canister vac booster, all that crap! Ok, from under the car at the exhaust manifold you'll see a hard line coming off right above the exhaust pipe on each side, I call these the sideburns, I'm not sure what they are really called but it doesn't matter because they're history! Unbolt them but save the bolts and the gaskets (I think there's gaskets, I can't remember), you'll need them later. Now pull the intake manifold, and remove all of the hard lines, I think it's like two or three bolts. Pull the rest of the sideburns out from above, and whatever is left. This is a good time to plug the heads clean the block, I like to use oven cleaner. Crack your first beer. Once you've got everything cleaned up and the hard lines off of the intake, bolt that bad boy back on with the new gaskets. Using the aluminum plates, fab up cover plates for the holes where the sideburns came off, and bolt them on. Crack second beer. Reconnect the master cylinder vac line, and fuel lines. Connect the vacuum advance on the distributor to any vac port on the manifold. Do the same with the heat selector vac line. Run a hose from the driver side rocker cover to the PCV. Plug all of the ports on the carb except the vent solenoid valve. On my EA 81's I run the large port on the back of the carb to the manifold. I don't think I did it on the EA 82, but you might try it. Plug the EGR valve on the back of the intake. I've also removed the EGR on mine and made a cover plate for it. Seemed to work well. Reconnect the radiator hose, gauge wires, choke wires, and throttle cable. Start it up! If it starts and won't idle or idles ruff, check that all the manifold ports are plugged. If it idles but stutters or stalls when you whack the throttle, check the ports on the carb. Pump the brakes to make sure your getting vacuum boost works. Turn on the heater to be sure you have vacuum to the selector. Check for exhaust leaks at the sideburn caps. Readjust the idle and fuel mixture accordingly. Top off the coolant. Crack your third beer. For the air cleaner, or air box as I like to call it, take the lid from the J.Y. and cut a 2 3/8in diameter hole in the center (the outer diameter of the mouth of the carb). Using the RTV glue a penny over the hole on the right side (looking at it from above and reading SUBARU left to right). Hog out the left hole and install the elbow fitting, this will allow you to run a hose from the bottom of your air cleaner to the passenger side rocker cover. This will be the bottom plate of the air box. On the other lid, glue pennies over the left and right holes, leaving to center one open. Remove the center bolt from the carb, and replace with the allthread, you might need to put a lock nut on it to hold it down on the carb. Place the bottom plate on the carb, connect a hose from the elbow piece to the pass side rocker cover, put on stock air cleaner, place lid on top, and using Subaru factory wing nut, tighten into place. Thats all I can remember, but I'm sure I'm missing some thing! Hope this helps ( and makes sense!)

Yes, but I'm at work and have no time. I did it to my 86 gl wagon about 2 years ago, made all the differance! I think I have some pics at home, I'll try and dig them out and post a walk through tonight. Roc

Now wait a minute, Mad Max ran a 55 gal drum as a fuel tank and had C4 or some other explosive devise attached and he didn't have any problems.

Can anyone tell me what the fuel separator does? I'm wanting to put a new fuel cell in my hatch and am wondering if I need the separator or not.

by removing the safty catch and pulling the latch at highspeeds you could use the hood to slow you down like a parachute!

I was thinking about the later model stuff because the stroke is alittle longer, but the rear door is alot heavier then the hood. It should work great! might be hard to close.

my '84 hatch is a std 2wd and has the same axles as my brats, dose this mean I've got the elusive wide body bell housing I've heard rumors about?

I'm thinking of putting the gas stays out of a 88 wagon under the hood of my '84 hatch. I hate proping it up! has anyone tried this? would be pretty cool!

They should all be the same as long as they stay on the same engine. ea 81 will not work with ea 82 and vise versa allthough I think ea 71 and ea 81 are the same. not sure on that one.But there is no differance between left and right .

So I'm driving home from work and I see what looks like an old Peugot wagon parked behind the local fire station. I whip in the back lot, and sure enough, an old beatup Pug with 14" steelies! I calmly walk into the fire house and ask the first person I see what they're going to do with the car. Turns out they're going to cut it up for practice. So I ask him if I can have the wheels. He says, and I quote "I don't give a rats rump roast, long as it's got wheels enough to roll on a flatbed when yer done." I inverted an old set of rusted out jackmans and bolted them on with soob lugs! Hee Hee! 5 14" pugs and a set of lugs for free!!!!!

Rad!!!! thanks for the pic and info. as it is now, when in gear it looks like I'm in neutral! this will be awsome! thanks again!

I know I've read a post about this but haven't been able to find it. I'm putting a dual range tranny in my '84 hatch , and figured it would be a good time to fix the slop in the shift linkage. What is the best way to go about this? Does Subaru still list bushings? any info would be greatly appreciated.

I've got a dual carb I found in a junk yard about a year ago. I'm not sure how long it sat in the yard, but I bolted it onto my '84 hatch and it fired right up! the thing screams! I took it off to rebuilt it, but man was it wild!

At 120k the car is over the hill, timing belts won't hepl it , just sell it to me for $35.00 and a half case of Old Style ( half of which you have to drink with me)

I'm thinking of doing the same in my hatch, then putting the chrome skull handle from jc whitney on top!

Hey guys, this is my first posting on the new setup. I posted a few times as Bratmonkey on the old setup. Is anyone else doing away with the emissions on and around the intake? I've been ripping this stuff off all my Subs and have had great luck so far, big boosts in power! I can post a walk thru with picks if anyone is interested. Roc
