baccaruda Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 I read this on some old thing I googled on nasioc: "the XT6 Engine was a much better engine. It had different water and oil pumps which would often go on the EA82. Its was basically an EA82 block with 2 more cylinders, but it didnt have the same head and head gasket issues which plaqued the EA82. Apparently there are people turbo the ER27 engine. But since it has a compression ration of 9.7:1 I wouldn't use much boost, maybe 6-8 psi max. But then again one could install EA82T pistons and lower the comp ratio to 7.7:1 and you could have a much more powerful motor without blowing it up." ...... I was under the impression that the oil pump and water pumps were the same for the ER27 as the EA82.. is that correct or is this guy onto something better?

WJM Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 I know that the pump's t belt pully is wider. The micky mouse gasket for it is a different shape as well. The waterpump is different in design...the pully and the housing is...ive got some pics of an ER27 somehwere... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baccaruda Posted April 30, 2004 Author Share Posted April 30, 2004 so they wouldn't be worth trying to put on an EA82 then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
