Ta, i noticed Subawrecks having a sale so will call them for a spare parts basket.

Does anyone know if you can do this without removing the engine, ive seen some vids of people doing it with the EJ 2.5lt later models. getting it done in <6 hours. I parked my Rx turbo for 3 years and its blown a head gasket, even though it was replaced less than 5k ago obv lack of use deteriated th...

I've recently registered my Manual 87 Rx turbo and after 3 days of hammering it around the snowfields its good enough to take it to the next step of tiding it up and keeping it going mechanically. For that Im looking for someone or a workshop that's happy to do the work at a decent discounted price....

Hi i really hope someone can help me either by selling me a part or allowing me to borrow one to see if it fixes the problem. Ive a 1986 Subaru RX turbo, its done up and has the 2 plug ECU ive had RX's since 1989 so i dont want it to die atm but cant spend any big money on it anymore (just had a eng...

I'm getting a fed odds and ends fixed and bought from some Vic members should have the suspention up to scratch on the RX in about 3 weeks. ALso after all these years the Diff locks going to be enabled on the box at long last.

So some nice hill climbs should be order now (;

Bloody thing still causing problems so intermitate it can litterally miss for 5 sec then go again. The guy at the shop says i have a intermitate miss in the #1 cylinder, its not the injector and he suspects its a fault with the CPU Anyone got a 86 cpu i can at least borrow to test the theory out ple...

Would a weak valve spring be caused/agrevated by getting the head gasket done as this problem occured when i got the car back from the shop??

Would a weak valve spring be caused/agrevated by getting the head gasket done as this problem occured when i got the car back from the shop. Also whats the cure for it then I shudder having to take it to the mech's again. Yes schoobi I'm thinking it could be that something else you mentioned as its ...

I've had a miss for about 3 months now and it seemed to be in one cyclinder as i did the remove disb leads to see which one. However i'm not so sure now. I have removed the injector and tested it ok with a 9v battery and it works fine and there is plenty of spark. Its driving me nuts as it comes and...

That would make sense, though a plastic cap? doesn't the heat from the combustion process damage the cap?

-Obv youve had your injectors out before and had a good look at em

My cars been missing so i removed the injectors to clean them and i expected them to be the same. Have a look at the pic these are from the LHS of a ea82T engine One is disticively different as can be seen by the larger injector but the absence of a injector pin sticking out (in pic RHS one). Is thi...

Any tips on how to remove the injectors fully without either
a breaking the metal piping or 2 cutting the rubber hose.

There just isn't much play at all in the length of the rubber hose

I removed it gave it a few good whacks and put it back in and its running ok now! So it certainly was to do with the injector missing.
I'll still try to russtle up some spares just in case or find a injector cleaning place

located chadstone victoria

Subaru Ea82T missing on one cyl plenty of spark, compression so i took it for a 'quick look' at my mechanics who thought it could be a Fuel Injector problem. Rather than just handing it over for $$$ work i was thinking of just replacing the injector myself(will any efi subaru l series injector do??)...

I've run My RX trubo with the E10 Stuff from United Petrol for a while now and I notice I can run 15 pounds of boast with no pinging, only 8 with standard petrol. So I have a switch for both fuel types.

The spings interest me as my suspention on my rx is bad but its a weekend bush car mainly so don't want to spend up on new shocks springs.

PM sent too

so you saying the fronts will be no good as they are the wrong type for what i need on a lifted rx with 27's?

I'm still looking for a set or part set of some heavier duty shocks/springs, does anyone have any in good nick at all?

I don't want to spend $1000 getting them new

The current suspention is really bad atm so please help (;

Bump!
