Sawzalled the aircleaner


Recommended Posts

Hi

 

I was doing a spark plug change, and that damned aircleaner intake pointing directly into the upper heater hose has been bugging me ever since I got this '84 Ozified wagon. With a lifted wagon, the body goes up and the engine doesn't.

 

The air intake was so close to the hose it was rubbing, and I held it back with a ziptie. I saw a post about this, and the postee chopped the intake off just behind the heat valve, so I did too.

 

MUCH more power. Spins up very quickly. Seems like more mileage, I am getting about 300 miles before the light goes on. And it can pull 4th a lot more often.

 

Still need a weber, but hey!

It is a carbed wagon. If your Subie is not lifted, you will not have so much of a problem, also, if you need to resmog yearly, this is not an option, unless you get another aircleaner from the salvage yards.

 

 

Here is a photo. It will pull third around corners it would not do before.

Already have the hot accell coil, good wires, ngk split electrode plugs, and a K&N filter. might do the cat modification, but it is a pain to get to, and I like reducing smog as much as I can, balancing that against power is the hard part.
