Gregg Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 EA-82 MPFI in an 86 XT-GL to an EA-82 carb? Is this possible and would it yeild any increases in performance? It would sure as hell look nice with an aluminum spoiler in the back, a Hilborn-style scoop on top, and side-exit glasspacks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archemitis Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 you would loose performance, and have alot of new stupid problems to deal with. no way a weber is better than mpfi, anybody that disagrees is just in denial because they spent too much on the weber, or cant face the fact that mpfi rules!

Gregg Posted March 7, 2004 Author Share Posted March 7, 2004 Any way to get a functional, Hilborn-esque scoop to work with an MPFI intake? I really LOOOOOVE the look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archemitis Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 heh, you could always mount your maf sensor right on top of th thotle body, upside down, then stick the filter under the scoop. that would probably work pretty good. thanks for the idea.

Gregg Posted March 7, 2004 Author Share Posted March 7, 2004 And run some flexible piping between the intake duct and the MAF? I was just drooling over the idea of a hot-rod XT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregg Posted March 8, 2004 Author Share Posted March 8, 2004 So anyway... what's the most I could get out of a carbed EA-82? If I could pull between 170 and 200 out of it with a turbo or a super, it would be worth it just to have the hot-rod look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesFox Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 good luck finding an adapter to put a carb on the mpfi intake. your best bet is to just thrpw in a carb motor, witha carb, single port intake, as mpfi is dual ports. its only worth it if say you had trouble with mpfi to begin with unless you can be REALLY creative, and put some steep cams and some four-barrel..... here is an example of a modernesque, and shaker style hood scoop/filter for MPFI/turbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
