Faster yes but 'Fast'....uhm.....No. Intake air filter and adapter from your local store or Ebay. Get a custom exhaust made from shops like Meineke and such. Got $$$? Send your engine to Ram Performance. Got more $$$, find a reputable shop to somehow stuff a WRX engine and tranny into your car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stickboyp Posted November 22, 2004 Author Share Posted November 22, 2004 how much would a custom exhaust cost?? just ballpark?

subaru_styles Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 i would 2nd the vote for getting a hot rod ea81 engine from RAM...if your car is an 86 hatch..if its an 86 wagon then you have a different engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubaruJunkie Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 Your looking at around $250 for a custom exhaust. If you want a custom Y pipe with that exhaust add another $75-$100 to the job. If you find a local muffler shop, most can give you quotes. There's a how-to somewhere out there on making an adapter for a cone airfilter. I'll have to try to find it. -Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chef_tim Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 At 16 what you need are "skills, ability, and experience". Try getting those down first, before you kill yourself, or worse yet someone else!!!! Lecture over, Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobBrumby Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 if its n/a a 36/32 webber carb makes a big difference down low. After youve done both the intake and exhuast the next step would be engine internals a cam and maybe a mild port while your in there. you could even bump up the compression a bit for some good gains. as ea81 are used a fair bit a kit airplanes theres a few shops arround like ram perforance that sell performance aftermarket parts for ea81's but this stuff does cost a fair bit of dough. and also you may have an ea82 as you didnot say what year car you drive. if your looking for a racer maybe you should be savingn your money for an ej22, ej25 or ej20t halfcut as all these engines would destoy a worked ea81.

torxxx Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 for the cone filter, get a K&N filter, and then get a SPFI air intake hose that runs from the MAF to the fuel injector problem solved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archemitis Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 yes, i second the spfi snorkel idea. i did this on my hatch. i had to file a little channel all the way around the spigon on the carb, so that the rubber had something to bite into. worked pretty well. or mpfi has a cooler snorkel thingy, that should fit also. on the exhaust. you can gut your cats, and take your muffler off, for free =]. but ya, at 16, you prolly dont have too much money. id say its time to start learnin how to do stuff on your own=]. instead of spending money at a shop, buy a 200$ welder and go to town. thats how i learned.
