Going to finish up the exahst soon I hope and get it through deq =) sounds like you just need to figure out a few quirks and its ready to go:headbang: we got the loyale going after it sat 4 years just need to figure out some stuff on it and its ready to sell because it already passed deq(its going to get a dual range in it if the tranny doesn't starting shifting better).

Prwa101 Posted February 15, 2013 Author Share Posted February 15, 2013 Well had some time today after class to get back to her, got a new water pump gasket in, timed and back togeather. Drove it in the yard for a second, then heard a pissing noice.... I blew another power stearing line.. This one was a 3/8 400psi that the guy at napa said would work... Gah... Back to the drawing board! But she coming along, atleast I didn't hurt my self this time. Haha. *knock on wood* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prwa101 Posted May 20, 2013 Author Share Posted May 20, 2013 well after a long long long amout of time not working on her.. i finnaly got back to it! i finished the power stearing line last week, i used the upper EJ hose and the lower elbo and made a sleave to weld them togeather worked great! AAAND i lowered the shifter linkage! i used a peice of 1.25" knureld stressproof and threaded it to 8x1.25 to screw on to the exsisting bolt. i can make more if any one wants one?? prolly 5-10$? now i think i might want to exsted the shifter rod. but ill take it for a drive before i do that. only have one more large thing to do, figure out the exhaust.. i could go with an all new system.. but that to spendy for me.. lol.

Prwa101 Posted June 3, 2014 Author Share Posted June 3, 2014 (edited) well it sure has been a little while sincie ive updated my build. here i am so far. Got married moved into a nice house that has a garage! so no more working in the woods haha. Finished my 6 lug drill, Got a cold air intake hooked up! Thanks DREW! haha started my D/R swap go by 3.7 single range! this is me and my buddy (box of pop corn) dropping the single range out haha. out with the old in with the new! lets hope i dont bend this rear diff drop.. Mounted come gages in the little cubby by the shifter, only have the oil PSI hooked up did see much of a need for the other ones. Oh and i finished the exhaust! with a lot of cutting and welding haha this should work for a while until i have Steven make me a new set up. No pix yet though Edited June 3, 2014 by Prwa101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
czny Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 You're a clever guy - those Chinese gauges are crap. If it was me I would have made a 'T' fitting to go in the block for idiot light switch & mechanical gauge tap. Mount a panel with a 270* sweep oil pres gauge & an idiot light in place of the clock.

Prwa101 Posted June 3, 2014 Author Share Posted June 3, 2014 Cant beat free though, and the oil psi seems to be pretty accurate. Of course i will prolly upgrade down the line. I plan to make an alluminum plate for that stop and mount my gages for reals with some light switches for the rack i want on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prwa101 Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share Posted September 5, 2014 well long time no post! my axles wouldnt go into the hub so i for some new bearings for the front! man that was an easy job haha! i fabed up a bullitproof set of 4" rear brackets! turns out the ones i had on there were 3"!!! and putting these on was causing the tire to go into the fender to much so i also dropped the control arm bar 2" which makes the tire sit perfect in there! before 2" rear control arms bar drop, the shock is at a bad angle and its really close to the bump stop. After 2" C bar drop Fully flexed out i got my D/R linkage hooked up and exstented so itd fit better and beable to go in an out of d/r haha. as far as the tranny above, my buddy blew his up so he needed it back haha.. so i got another one from my buddy ED for helping him with his remodel. BUT.... just a few min ago i was just getting to put some new oem subaru tranny oil in her and decided to drop what was left in there.... bam..... shes done... and i didnt even get to drive her with a D/R.... its prolly a good thing ive had to do so much to this rig.. one thing after another... atleast i know when shes "done" shes be done... and make someone a good rig.... haha...... but my next thing is putting a ring from an EJ front diff in because it would see that itd be stronger. Lets see how this works... OR build an AWD D/R driff lock like pooperoo... haha PRWA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooner Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Yes sir i do believe that wagon is a beaut! Nice job, those bearings are so easy to do with a bearing press...it almost feels like cheating haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prwa101 Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share Posted September 5, 2014 Haha thanks dude! Yeah.. About 3 years of building.. Haha... And yeah a press helps! But I used a 36mm socket and hammer to install them and it worked just as good! I cheated for sure! Haha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prwa101 Posted September 20, 2014 Author Share Posted September 20, 2014 dropping the drop tranny agin.... Just me and my trusty box! New one goes in tomarrow!! my new 3ton jack will help a lot this time haha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloyale Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 but my next thing is putting a ring from an EJ front diff in because it would see that itd be stronger. Lets see how this works... OR build an AWD D/R driff lock like pooperoo... haha you must keep a matched set of ring and pinion gears. Must use a set from a PT box. AWD EJ pinion will not work. the EJ ones are not any stronger than the EA. they are identical type ring and pinion gear only the length and diameter of the pinion shaft changed EA to EJ.

Prwa101 Posted September 21, 2014 Author Share Posted September 21, 2014 Yeah I found that out after reading up on it. One reason why I just put another ea dual range back in. This one has 180k but was owned by an older guy so she should hold up for much longer. Actually your build a while back is what I read, along with others though. Sad that didn't work for long. I'm tempted to build what Pooparoo has in his brat. That would be a beast! Need to get my lathe so I can mod and build an unstoppable ej/ea tranny lots of time and work but would be worth it in the long run. Haha.

TheLoyale Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 This is a nice ongoing project! I'm egger to see what happens with the tranny hybrid idea. Oh yeah, you also get 10,000 Fuji points for having rear disc on there! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
