4WDFrenzy Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Patrick.. my memory kind of sucks sometimes. Is the motor on your wagon hosed? I have a couple of spares. By the time you get home, I will probably be done with EA82s. Yeah brother, it is now. I just got back to the states a couple of days ago and my wagon has gone the way of the dinosaur, unfotunately for me. So needless to say, I have been debating parting her out, which really sucks in itself considering that I had gathered a bunch of random parts and electronics to improve her. -Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry DeMoss Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 So does anyone want to sell their twe ea82 header? I want one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beataru Posted April 16, 2009 Author Share Posted April 16, 2009 I got the engine, it supposedly has around 60k, but from an ea82.... i doubt it. It has the turbo and all the stock stuff, and it does turn, I hope that it runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beataru Posted June 22, 2010 Author Share Posted June 22, 2010 This just in, I posted this on nasioc when the usmb was down, but anyways... my Scoobie is running on MEGASQUIRT II yay for me, its definately not to the driving point, but I was Soooooo fed up with the sensor troubles that my car is having... Right now its belching out thick nasty black smoke, because the things idling at 8.8:1 gotta tend to that! I cant belive that my car is running on something that I soldered together, well I can, but its difficult. I will keep updates posted, not that any of you are on the edge of your seats for the next update... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tractor pole Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Friend of mine has a megasquirt setup in his 86 Gti with a 1.8t (I know... Boooooo!!) but after the tuning and some extra dyno tuning, makes great power (about 195hp fwhp) and reliable, no messing around with stock fuel injection, laptop tuning, data logging, etc. great setup, I was thinking if I ever built a turbo motor for my wagon that would be the way to go.

beataru Posted June 23, 2010 Author Share Posted June 23, 2010 So far so good, I think my coolant temp sensor is freaking out, but the ms doesnt care about it for anything except warmup, so that can wait a bit. I finnaly got the thing to stop running super rich, and its idling halfway decent now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beataru Posted June 25, 2010 Author Share Posted June 25, 2010 Speaking of that, is subaru starting to drop off the support for GL-s and the like? I went both to 1stsubaru and subarugenuine, they have new catalogues and have nothing for my car anymore. Oh yeah, and I drove the car around the block, while my bro in law tunes it. Great fun! the car sounds pissed off for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beataru Posted June 27, 2010 Author Share Posted June 27, 2010 Ok ladies, since you are all waiting so impatiently... Jonathan and I are getting the car tuned, this thing under load is purring like a v150 (thats right something with 150 cylinders) ive never had my car so smooth under load, I expect to have the car legal and ready to rock within a month or so, hopefully sooner, but we all know how that goes :-\ And then comes the videos, I am have some megasquirt woes. at first Warmup enrichment along with my CTS was just freaking out a little bit, but now the thing is on constantly. Sooo DIY is gonna have to help me out with that. Im sure they will. anywas, more updates to come. Oh and the car has been washed, first time in 6 months.

beataru Posted August 18, 2010 Author Share Posted August 18, 2010 (edited) Car is registered, Insured, claybar'ed and currently recieving a wax. My car is officially road worthy again!!! Merkatroid helped me tune it some more, the car is running decent at stock boost with no intercooler. Time to figure out my Water to Air setup, and then push the boost up a tiny bit. And if it all works out. Videos will be posted. But only if the car doesnt blow up first. Edited August 22, 2010 by beataru Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beataru Posted August 25, 2010 Author Share Posted August 25, 2010 I decided to post in here yet again. Well, along with my usual subie woes, the car demons have struck again. Were thinking that my front diff just went boom. I decided to give the car beans once on the way home, about a half mile from my house, and it pulled great, eased it into third and then it started, no loud noises, just the constant horrific booming/clunk and it sounds like its coming from the diff case. I just got the car insured and registered, and the engine actually running very decent! and just started full time at college. This is how it goes i guess. Im not giving up, if it is indeed the diff, its either OBX front diff, or full AWD swap. Ill keep the few people that actually care posted in this forum, im still hoping its the front right axel, but it cant be. :-\ Wish me luck, and large sums of money since im out of it right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vagen Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 I hope it's the axle if it's not I hope there is a wreckers near by with an RX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beataru Posted August 27, 2010 Author Share Posted August 27, 2010 I hope it's the axle if it's not I hope there is a wreckers near by with an RX. Its not an axle, definately not, I drained the fluid and a tooth popped out as soon as I took off the drain plug. So, I am about half way done with taking the tranny out. Im tired, and angry, the car is fighting me every step of the way. Hope to have it out tomorrow. Then ill do a tear down and see what we got. Someone send me the latest STI transmission please!!! for free. or just buy me a quaife sequential setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
