mikeshoup Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Check every inch of the cooling system. Replace all the rubber hoses, thermostat and radiator cap. Inspect the radiator. If you suspect the radiator to be bad at all, replace it immediately. If you let this baby overheat, you will blow head gaskets. Just keep it cool and it'll be a fun car.

Don't be too scared though, I've had 3 turbo EA82s and they are still pretty fun and reliable cars. Keep it cool and tuned up and you'll love it.

subaruguru Posted May 7, 2007 Author Share Posted May 7, 2007 no its kittitas thtas what we call it here lol. but i looked around i pulled the aluminum thing off the top that runs the turbo into the intake and omg it was so dirty in there i used a couple cans of carb cleaner on it and the intake. then i tryed it again it started fine then idled down and died so i look some more and i find that the rubber hose that runs from the air box has a big gash in it from the hose clamp so i pull it off and use some rubber repair suff on it then as im doing this i find a bunch of stuff on the turbo unhooked like vacume lines and all that so ui hook them all back to ther right spots and try it again. runns beter but the gas pedal feels bunny so i check the throtle cable it severly loos i tighten it up then i see thet a sensor or jet thing idk what it was but its on top of the intake and has a red and black wire to it that was less thatn finger tight so after all that i get in it and turn her over fires right up and idles like a dream it gets hot quick tho so im gona check top make shur the thurmostat is opening (for some reason no one that i buy thes cars from ever changes it and they rust or corrode) i hate neglagents Rob:burnout: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
