Jeep tranfer case?
subarubrat replied to comatosellama's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I used one from a Nissan Hardbody and found it to be ideal, even took the mounts with the T case. My driveshafts were made at a race shop using a mix of Subaru and Nissan. How that T case stood up to the HP I pumped through it was amazing. -
And no joke, adding white flour to most of these methods will make them even more powerful, and allow gentler solvents to be used. I do allot of adhesive removal on pinball playfields where I remove the mylar that is cracking and peeling by freezing it then peeling. The method does not harm the paint but leaves all the adhesive on the playfield. To get it off I use flour (just a dusting) and regular rubbing alcohol because it bonds with the adhesive and does not allow it to re-stick to the surface. The goo just tars up as a big glue booger with no adhesion.

duel spfi setup posable ?
subarubrat replied to ferp420's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Many cars run on dual ECUs, Until the late 90's practical ECUs did not exist that could run a V8 at high RPMs so some manufacturers used two ECUs to run it as separate 4 cyl engines. I had a 348 that had dual ECUs. Sometimes the ECUs were linked and sometimes not, and sometimes when they were linked they talked, and sometimes not. So the short answer is yes you can, but also, why? Your SPFI TB is not really the bottleneck in flow, and your going to have to deal with the built in maps that may not play well with low CFMs for a given RPM, it could have driveability issues. And you don't have any of the problems that a dual ECU setup was used to solve (ability to run at XXXX RPM). You could do it just to do it, but don't expect any gain. -
The front bumper guard was dropped off today and it looks great. Not shown in that pic is the aluminum skid plate, I may use it (it is tough, 1/4in thick probably T6) or I may make a 1/8in thick one with some lightening and access holes.

Got the other part of the rear bumper delivered today, the front will be dropped off asap. So far so good, and the wheels will get done right after the painting is finished. As far as the paint goes, despite the lack of rust at the present I know how rusty these things are and I don't want to take any chances so we are going to soda blast down to bare metal and ensure that every little scratch is dealt with to lock out any rust starting points. And yes this is the rear bumper, upside down so it would not slide, the hitch part connects to the frame underneath and it all bolts together at the big tab on the bottom.

Got it back and posted a pic here; http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/149409-refresh-of-a-very-interesting-1982-brat/?p=1255993 Let me know if it is the one you want info on and what details you want.

Roll bar and part of the bumper were delivered today, the rest of the bumper parts get delivered in a few days. They got blasted and powder coated in a nice gloss white.

Nice example of the breed, very clean looking!

Felpro permatorque for the headgasket and OEM for everything else. As well, while you are in there why not replace the pistons with EA82 SPFI pistons, get the cam reground by delta, and go weber or SPFI conversion for a mild upgrade in HP on the cheap.

Mine is still at the coaters, I should get it monday they say.

True to Original BRAT decal available?

If you could get a flat black, that would look great! -

Yep, just heard from him in a PM actually and it sounds like everything is on track, looking forward to seeing it! -
First law of thermodynamics – Energy can neither be created nor destroyed. It can only change forms. In any process, the total energy of the universe remains the same. For athermodynamic cycle the net heat supplied to the system equals the net work done by the system. Second law of thermodynamics – The entropy of an isolated system not in equilibrium will tend to increase over time, approaching a maximum value at equilibrium. Third law of thermodynamics – As temperature approaches absolute zero, the entropy of a system approaches a constant minimum. These three rules define that it does not work, what are the odds that your more clever than the body of human scientific knowledge and achievement Vs the odds your talking out your backside.

There is nothing like a Subaru Brat...
subarubrat replied to Subaruist's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Amen! -
Effit, instead of trying to share a bit if science and keep people from being taken advantage of I am going to start selling these to suckers on ebay.

I ordered one and am waiting on it now. He does a best offer but does not respond to the offers, I emailed him and let him know I had one and he responded "yes" but it just expired. I did a but it now and am waiting to see what happens. It certainly looks like good work and others have spoken highly of the decal. -
Venting a miniscule amount of hydrogen and oxygen that takes more energy to produce than it yields into an intake is NOT the same as a hydrogen IC or fuel cell system and pointing to those as a reference to HHO system viability is junk science. Not one of these systems when subjected to testing has ever produced more energy than they consume which conforms with the laws of thermodynamics. The load on the alternator which consumes energy produced by the engine is greater than the potential energy produced by burning those gasses. People passionately argue first hand experience and success at everything from levitation to invisibility. However, HHOs are in the same junk bin as the 100mpg carburetor, fuel line magnets, and the perpetual motion machine. I get that it can be dramatic to think that the scientific community is too dumb to figure out what some clever youtuber has, or worse, that we are all in some sort of conspiracy to suppress this technology and that your the lone wolf that figured it out. I have quite a bit of first hand experience with fuel cell and SA/BAT EPS systems on orbit, having worked over 20 years on programs to include the STS (shuttle) that utilize these technologies and not once ever has an over unity system been employed as anything but comic relief. Ultimately it isn't going to be my time or money wasted on an HHO rube goldberg contraption stuck under the hood of one of my cars, and it isn't even allot of time or money at stake if someone buys into this, but I hate to see bad science go unchallenged.

And that is a key fact the rubes buying these devices are unaware of. Not only do they violate the laws of thermodynamics and in all cases have been proven to draw more power than they create, if they did somehow break the laws of thermodynamics they do not create a sufficient CFM flow to fuel and engine of that size and the AF ratio is all wrong. I am going to have to pull my rocket scientist card on this one and say that this is total BS, your wasting your time and money on a poorly or deliberately misunderstood device. If you claim it works your suffering from placebo or pride.

Mine should be back from the powder coaters next week and I can do that for you if nobody else has gotten to it.

These are the wheels on the truck. Yes, the wheels are curved like stock, the spokes are slightly different but overall they are easily mistaken for stock wheels. These are on the truck while it is at the paint shop, once it returns they will be sent off for powder coating by the same place that is doing my roll bar and bumpers. Here are some detail pics;
