carfreak85 Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 i dont think anyone has ever gotten this stuff. it was all pretty much in japan during the 80's and i doubt anything survived much less made it over here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 Check out that crazy "Safari" engine - those are dual port heads, and some wicked looking dual carbs on dual manifolds! And that's one MOTHER of an alternator on it too - right in the center, between the carbs. Amazing stuff. Most of that JDM stuff went through the system long ago I'm afraid, or is a museum peice in Japan somewhere. Don't see a lot of EA81's comming in from engine importers - too old.

Turbone Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 I would love to back to Japan and see if they have wrecking yards there like we do. Travel all over the Island picking up stuff along the way, then shipping it back to the PNW. I could probably retire off the proceeds:D Hey Honey, I'm going to the JR, be back in a month.

Turbone Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 Ok, I did some searching and found this link to an article from April of 2002. Granted, its 1 1/2yrs old, but the info answers alot of questions (and myths). http://www.autospeed.com/cms/A_1338/article.html Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
