Sweet. Thanks a bunch everyone.
Ill take her back to my parents place and check out the gaskets.
Will I need to resurface?

Oh yeah I guess Id have to split the whole engine just to do rings? what a hassle.
Not like the dirt bike where you just pull the barrel off...

I guess i have to at least take the heads off now? and hope its just a gasket

Ive got my results (Sorry, I keep forgetting how the cylinders are numbered) Driver side pair (F/R): 120/95 and the other pair: 130/120 The driver side front cylinder took more compression strokes than the rest to reach its max value. probably about 8 and the rest took 4 or 5. when i was first testi...

Cheers chubby. Just biked to super cheap and got one. Same type as that ebay one you posted. I cant do the test at the moment cause the battery is too low, so Ill have to wait until the flatmate or someone can lend a hand.
What is the standard compression for the 82T ??

Thanks for the reply. All lines appear to be fine. No sign of water in oil or oil in water. Is there a relativly cheap tool for measuring compression? Or will I have to take it to a workshop for that?

Hello all. Im needing some help again. straight to it: I just took the subi out to get dinner after doing a oil and filter change (which took way too long due to lack of a filter wrench). I was at some traffic lights and decided to be mr show off and do a short sprint. The ground was wet, wheels spu...

86 Leone, EA82T

Ive just finished my converstion from EA82 carby to EA82T. Goes so much better than the carby. Defanitly notice it up hills or when you need to make that quick overtake past a couple trucks before you end up stuck behind them for the next hour and a half. Unfortunatly my car used to be a EA71 FWD. D...

1994 Subaru Imprezza Wagon EJ18 with the electronic height adjustable shocks The front shocks are leaking from the air sealing boot. Ive been told they are a non-servicable item. Is it possible to replace the front suspension with regular non height abjustable shocks?? Will the rear ones need to be ...

Sweet, thanks. I actually have a spare vacume line coming from the intake behind the throttle body, below the mix screw (But not on the actual trottle bodie like the screw). I think its supposed to be used with automatic transmission??? Its a small one, ~3mm inner diameter, about 20cm long if that. ...

All the connectors work, only two injectors are working. Hopefully Ill have another couple working injectors this week and can see if its running nicely on all 4. Ah, so thats what the hole is for. Ill check the resistance on the injectors tomorrow, but im not to fussed as Im getting another two for...

I think the injectors are not working because I had them out and ran them all off each connector, one at a time, and only two worked from all connections. The injectors that do work, will work from any connection so the wiring from ECU to injectors must be all tickety boo. The ~1" hole is on the int...

Its only running on 2 cylinders. Ive got a couple injectors on the way. If I plug the MAF back in and cover that ~1" diameter hole in the side of the intake boot it runs the same as not having it plugged in at all. As soon as I open up that hole it cuts out. Ill try that clearing memory mode and the...

Yay! I unplugged the airflow sensor and she ran wonderfully (as wonder as it can on 2 cylinders). Thanks RSR555 for suggesting that, and cheers to everyone for helpin out.

The LED on my ecu is just constantly flashing long flashes. about 1 second on, 1 sec off.

I can now say there must be something wrong with the 2 injectors, Ive swapped wiring around on them but they dont fire, and there is defanitly fuel getting to them. But even still with only two cylinders getting fuel it should surely still be able to run? very badly, sure, but at least keep going. I...

Ive checked the fuel pump, its working fine. I lifted the injectors, and only the ones on cylinder 3 and 4 are squirting fuel. which had as all surprised cause when the engine fires it sounds like all 4 are doing it. I probed the injectors that arnt squirting (1 and 2, front pair) and both have powe...

Cheers. Ill check over that tomorrow and report back. When the key is turned to "ON" I can hear the fuel pump go, only for a few seconds though. Is it supposed to keep going (if key is only turned as far as "ON")? I had my mate get down by the pump while I turned the engine over but it was to noisy....

Dont know. I bought the motor about 6 months ago with the coupe. It was out of the car so while it was out I thought Id clean it up a bit so when its running I can see leaks better. plus its nicer to work on a clean engine. If I had to take a guess, Id say the engine hasnt been running for about 3 y...

Hey. First post on these forums, but ive been using them for quite a while. Loads of information here and loads of experienced and smart users :) I finally got round to putting the EA82T into the rx coupe, but its not working out as I hoped. It will start up but only fires for about 4 or 5 seconds b...
