Bratastick Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Looking around, need to buy one for my 82 Brat. Looks like Ebay has several vendors, there's also a couple on Amazon. I don't really think you can go by the photos. I would like one that has a single piece mounting adapter if possible. I don't want a Chinese knock off. Anyone suggest a reputable supplier?

GeneralDisorder Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 We can supply what you need and are intimately familiar with swapping them into Subaru's. We get them direct from Redline. They are owned by Worldpac, one of our major wholesalers. The EA81 adapter from Redline is a single piece unit. It is the EA82 version that is two piece.

Sapper 157 Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Don't buy from the USMB... The purchasing software doesn't work properly and won't let the seller know that you have bought something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinny664521903 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Literally ordered one from carbs unlimited a couple of hours ago. I think GD suggested them in another thread. Look up the part numbers from the kit on redlines website then order everything separately on carbs unlimited. It's like 60 dollars cheaper than the kit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bratastick Posted March 28, 2017 Author Share Posted March 28, 2017 Just looked at carbs unlimited. Wonder if those are jetted correctly, or the same as the redline kits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinny664521903 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 The site says it's universally jetted but you may need to adjust it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bratastick Posted March 28, 2017 Author Share Posted March 28, 2017 did you get the universal linkage kit? Seems like some end up using parts from the old carb? Unfortunately I'm replacing a Carter so not sure if the linkage kit will be of much benefit more than what I could fabricate on my own. I have the proper manifold, but I'm thinking the throttle cable attaches on the opposite side of the engine compared to the Hitachi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinny664521903 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Yeah I got the $23 one just cuz mines kinda fucked up. I'm pretty sure it's opposite with the Carter carb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneralDisorder Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 We can set you up if you want to call the shop or PM me. I can recommend jetting, etc. The factory DGEV jetting is quite good for the EA engines. Typically the EA82's want a 60 or 65 idle jet in place of the 50. If you have SPFI pistons then an even larger idle jet may be required. The rest of the jetting will be just fine. GD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
