MilesFox Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 If you want it to be a time bomb, just ignore it. Otherwise, keep the cooling system happy(non corroded radiator, fresh/regular coolant change, non leaky water pump , put fresh hoses on the turbo and the little hoses on the intake) and it will be as realiable as any other so long as you dont go cranking on the boost and beating it into submission. any other mantenance points will be the same as any other ea82 regarding engine seals and timing belts, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jboymechanic Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Heat is a Subaru's worst enemy, this is especially relavent to the EA82T engines. I had one that had a catalytic converter plug up and create excess back pressure. That, in turn, created more heat and then the head gasket blew. Listen to Miles, stay away from pumping up the boost and make sure your coolant system is working 100%! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
