crazy D

i want a lifted soob again....but i dont like the lift kit i have,.....and i think my next one is going to be an sjr 4/4.....so anybody that is thinking about selling thier Ea81 sjr kit...i want first dibs... you know alot of people say they dont work well but.... i got a chance to drive mike's lifted turbo brat, and i think it was the coolest soobie i ever have driven. he had the 5sp. d/r in it and a completely rebuilt Ea81T and the turbo spooled at the trial cruising speed(2500rpm) and i was loving it... i think it has quite a bit of power too it.....i LOVED IT!!!!! i guess what i am asking is....what are everybody else's experiences with the Ea81T motor for offroad purposes? thanks(didnt mean to hijack if i did...) -Dalton

nvexplorer had to leave my house for something in a hurry...and an hour later i get a text msg saying he was going 96 in his spfi wagon:grin: -Dalton

but thats not what he's doing....he's modding his Ea82T. not an ej22. and thats what this thread is about...not to be an rump roast, but he's asking about the ea82 not an Ej. yodannyc, lots have people have modified the Ea82 T's with nice intercoolers. thesubarujunkie used a big volvo intercooler on his RX and it ran great for him. and im pretty sure crawlerdan used an upgrade intercooler on his '86 rx too and he says it runs great also. correct me if im wrong,....but did stick Ea82 T's even run intercoolers? -Dalton

ted,that pic of me and dave going through that big rump roast mud bog was a really good shot:headbang:

sounds like a sick project man!!! old skoolllll!!!!!!!!! gen ones are the way to go...i kinda want one...do you haveany pics of the car your doing this too?

yes but you will also need an Ea81 tranny. the gen one tranny's didnt match up with the gen 2 (unless it is an Ea81 '81 brat with d/r. -Dalton

well it turns out that its the exaust thats messing with me.....fun huh? -Dalton

omg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i love it!!! very jealous!!! very clean....im lovin that paint!! congrats....lucky

have you ever thought of wheels spacing?....its fairly cheap to do and they sell lots of 5x100 wheels spacers on ebay...might want to look into it....couldnt hurt. or could it? -Dalton

hmmm.....i guess i understand...what kind of offset do you have on your wheels?...im guessing 4 inches... -Dalton

wow guys thanks for the info...my thread is alive again!!!! well i plan on getting/ wanting to break 200HP with the project....reliably and cheaply. any body have info on ECU's i could run. blah blah blah. im gonna go ahead and say this too, shannon knows but for the rest of you... my metals teacher's rally buggy, is a subaru powered EJ18 with their own little turbo set up, completly stock except for a turbo, runnig 15lbs of boost....thats with stock N/a compression,ecu and all the other crap....and he says they last about 3 years on that kind of set up. :eek: thanks so much for all the help guys....if you have any suggestions within reason(as far as my mechanic skills [not good enough to start with] and money wise) ill definatly be interested...remember ...power:headbang: -Dalton

2nd:headbang: -Dalton

just wondering...what kind of modifications have you done to your justy so far? sounds like a sweet ride! welcome to the USMB my friend! -Dalton

dude, theres a local import yard in reno, its where my metals teacher gets all of his EJ's for his rally buggy's. EJ's all come with harness ej18-250$ ej22-350$ ej25 dohc-1500$ i havent called him yet but thats what he's told me its where im gonna go for my engines maybe they'll have an ej20G -Dalton

will miss ya man! -Dalton

so besides the gravel.... you dont like having alot of traction on the road? why is that? -Dalton

really... why do you say they are too wide? -Dalton

hey matty! wat sizes tires are you running? i too am thinking about doing really wide tires... -Dalton

by any chance will your 5 lug stuff swap over to Ea81? if so will you be considering selling it? or at least some of the hard stuff that needs to be done for the swap(cuz im a nooooooobie)? thanks -Dalton

anybody? does anybody have any suggestions? what kind of intercooler?...i saw some cheap ones on ebay (31x13x4) i want something top mounted tho cuz i plan on wheelin this thing still tho., and i dont think a 31in intercooler is gonna fit under the hood:cool: turbo suggestions? -Dalton

im at least thinking about it.

dude thats hella s##ty someone who knows what they're doing will chime in shortly. i have no idea lol but good luck -Dalton

bump for more info? if i plan on running an ej18 with turbo 2.2 heads and about 14-15lbs of boost im thinking ill need the following....will any of this be an easy swap over? bigger injectors better ecu(what should i use for an upgrade?) the entire turbo set up(pipes and junk) tdo4 turbo intercooler how much power do you think this thing is gonmna make?(lots of opinions please) im hoping this will be reliable keep in mind this is going in a brat -Dalton
