Anybody at all....

Im sure those body stiffening panels would be handy to you lifted guys who bash about the bush.

I cant see how

The egr which is designed to reduce no2 emissions caused by high combustion temps, only operates when the car is cruising, and it cuts out under acceleration.

But then again i could be wrong

This is a copy of the rally preperation manual for the Subaru RX Turbo http://level4racing.com/rxModManual.pdf I was wondering if any of the the parts are still avaliable It has information on how to bring the power output up to 180hp, with just turbo, ecu and exhaust mods. It has a body strengthing...

Another thing,.. If you have a 89 MPFI loom, you will need a ea82t motor that came from a car built after mid 1987, also known as 4 plug ecu or the hotwire style MAF (mass air flow) . Turbo motors built between 1984 and july 1987 were the 3 plug, flapper style maf and are not compatable with your mp...

Im in the process of doing it and was making good progress (damn headgaskets) I have an 89 touring wagon and am putting a vortex ea82 into it I had it running with the na ecu, i need to hook up the wgds (wastegate duty solenoid) to get the turbo ecu to work The wiring harness between the turbo and n...

Odd sized tyres on an EA FT4WD would actually give a different torque split, for example say 60/40 - front/rear as opposed to the original 50/50

What brands do you have experience with (preferably good experiences)
I found a ACL valve grind kit on the net for $208

What should i steer clear from?


Cheers

I believe that the XT6 had a 90A alternator, (the l series uses a 60A doesnt it?)

I also have a part number for a 90A altenator that came with the rally spec RX turbo's. but i dont think that it was avaliable to the general public.

Thanks Ben, i'll consider that but Im thinking that maybe i should do all the seals while i have the head off. I went to the local parts store and an ACL VRS kit was about $250, the guy said that he has never had any troubles with acl head gaskets (not subaru) before. Other than Genuine gaskets, wha...

I went to the local subi dealer and asked how much ea82t headgaskets would set me back........ $74 EACH 8O
And thats just the HG, doesnt include any other seals ect.
In the US they are only $25-$30

How much have you paid???


Gannon

Nah Ben iv sorted out the wiring, thanks anyway.

Peejay, thats a mighty clever suggestion

It could be your TPS (throttle position switch) its a potentiometer, like a volume control that tells the ecu how open your throttle is. this can cause a dead spot in the throttle.

Id call it grey, ive seen a brown interior, and it was browner that my grey.
Grey vinly dash/panels ect and grey vinyl floors

I can take pics if you want

PM Fury, he had a fuel flow meter in his Vortex, but i think he made it himself, from somethying like a Jaycar kit.

WOW i never realised that they were that common, there goes my sales angle... "easy to clean vinyl interior"

Come to think of it, my interior is grey.


Cheers guys

Who has Vinyl floors in their l series?
I have a brown interoir and no carpet, but i have never seen another subaru with vinly floors, they have all been carpet.

All i want to know is,.. how rare is vinyl?


Gannon

It went from 9,323,063 to 9,369,746 in less than 10 minutes

I didnt think that a 89 mpfi had a vac line to the disty, there should be no vac advance, its computer controlled. unless you have a
84-86 turbo motor in your 89 tourer

Try looking for vac leaks, around the intake piping and on vac lines as well, as vac leaks will cause bad idle.

I found this on ultimatesubaru.net

It is the RX rally prep documantation
http://level4racing.com/rxModManual.pdf

Its pretty cool stuff


Gannon

The crank angle sensor is part of your distributor, it tells the ecu that the engine is turning.

Check the connections at the disty and then if that doesnt help, try another disty

I dont have my fsm on me at the moment so thats all i can help
