1 1987 Subaru GL GEET Gasoline Vapor System HHO Fuel Saving Devices

[tiltfulll]

Subaru's got Boxer engines in them.

Just like old wv bugs and the boxer porches.

Two two cylinder facing left and right with the crankshaft between them.

Those cars tend to go til like 300.000 miles.

I love SUBARU'S!;]

You should checkout a forum called UltimateSubaru. Lots of knowledgeable people with older Subaru's. I had the same engine (EA82) in my 1987 Subaru BRAT.

isnt that a rotory?

[tsimonin]

No... But that would be fun... Its a 1.8

Oh yeah, might as well replace the radiator and thermostat. You wanna do everything possible to keep it from overheating. It'll pop the headgaskets and possibly crack the heads. These particular engines don't like overheating. You can also swap out that 4wd 3at with a 2wd 3at and get rid of all that weight in the rear unless you like the 4wd.

If you have a feedback carb you can switch to a regular carb. It would have been awesome to find a 2wd coupe of the same car. You'd be getting at LEAST 10mpg better.

hey I am a fan of the crabed, and drive an 87 today. some obvious tips: EGR has to be removed, the plenum is meant for two carbs, and the battery is too big. Put the smallest battery for a car you can find and the feedback carb may just return to normal. I have subscribed...when I see it exceed 60 mpg with your experiment I will be interested.

Hey if you need parts let me know cuz i know a junk yard with several GL Suby's in Aurora Colorado. Really I like the older ones because you can switch them in and out of AWD that alone can save on fuel mileage or give an extre3-5 mpg. As far as longevity a 100K miles on almost any Japanese engine is peanuts.

Wow i tried the HHO with my 93 Subaru but I made my own Smack booster. But I found one on ebay pre made dry cell or Tero cell for 94 bucks. Hey you can't beat their price! For time and effort saving. Sure you can make the Smack but it is a hassal! But there is another one made in India I believe you can buy for about $200.00 but it is like the smack wet cell. Or Smack makes a dry or Tero cell for about $275.00. I would guess your fuel mileage to be around 30-32 stock little less with AWD. .

[tsimonin]

[tsimonin]

Thanks...

[jimodrap]

you can get a helicoil sparkplug repair kit at your local auto parts store

[tsimonin]

Thanks... I have used taps but not on a spark plug hole... I will look into that kit...

[higherpoweredh2o]

Subaru flat four boxer engine, pretty good engines. They are pretty tough although most have alot of oil leaks. Very good engine for your tests. Is it the 1.8 or 1.6? Love the license plate..

Good luck

[tsimonin]

thanks for the info... I almost got it running good... Carb needs some work... But gonna fix that :)... I did find a stripped spark plug hole ... Did get it back in... How do i fix that... But the motor sounds good... Transmission shifts good... I just like the little car... Going to have fun with this one...

ebay # 110373861014 or similar

the subaru can be difficult if the plugs go in through the valve cover ( very little room to work) but I think your earlier version goes in near the top beside the intake, which is pretty easy to do.

good luck and have fun

ps make sure your transaxle is full, they were known to leak, the trans part and differential part are separate. most people never check the differential part and they smoke the trans....

[tsimonin]

Thanks... Good Info...

[joewilder]

I really want to see the vapor system on there. Do you still have high hopes for vapor? Or has your enthusiasm lessened?

[tsimonin]

Yes... Vapor makes good sense to me... I just have to do things on a small budget... $0.... LOL... I have always been an invent / experimenter ... I just dont have a garage to work out of... But now its spring time and its time to get to work.... No i still have the enthusiasm... I'm on it... This is going to be the best test...
