Blagh... my mom just informed me that the previous owner before her swapped the engine from the RX with an imported 1.8L Loyale motor.. but it still has the turbo.. Should I be looking for parts from an 86' RX or an 86' Loyale?
how much different are the motors? they're the same year...
what subarus have the alternator i need? Blagh... I'm so confused now
P.S. I live about 20 minutes South of Eugene.. If there was a way to contact one your friends that would be great.

Just look for parts for an RX.. all of the 85-86 EA82T motors are the same..87 and up was alittle different, but not much.. internally, I think the cams were a tiny bit different.. the ignition system and wiring harness was a little different.
if the motor is from an 86, it won't be from a loyale, it would have been from a GL or GL-10.. loyale, while basically the same as a GL wasn't introduced until 1990.
I will look to see who is in the Eugene area that can help you
As far as your alternator, any GL/DL/GL-10/RX/Loyale from 1985 and up will work.. 83 and 84 will work as well.

Ok.. I found someone that may be able to help you. His name is John Bloom and he's in Eugene..
heres his website.

his email and phone number are on there.. I know from experience that emailing is not the best way to get ahold of him.. calling him is the only sure way, as he is a very busy guy.. But hes a pretty good guy and a lot of my friends have done business with him and some of them offroad their subarus with him.
Also, another great resource is www.ultimatesubaru.net . its the best place on the web for old school subaru information. a whole bunch of us subaru types all in one place
There are tons of people on that board in washington and oregon.
Forgot to mention.. John runs a Subaru only- custom shop in Eugene.
