YES!! depends mostly on which trans and final drive ratio is being used, and the road speed ea81 engine with ea82 intake and carb, xt6 90A alt. replaced ea82t engine. the standard trans that the '86 gl-10 turbowagon has is 3.7 while driving use 4th as top gear unless going over 70 mph!! seems to help to wind out 2nd til 4k, you get the feel for shifting after some experimentation 60 mph approx = 3k in 4th which is where the ea81 is happy

ea82 turbo verses ea82
subiemech85 replied to ivantruckman's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
ea82t powered xxx can be fun and reliable if used correctly the boost works best for accelerating onto interstates quickly and not losing speed going up hills or mountains with a good intake, it is fun to hear WOOOSHHHHHH FIND a cheap ea82t powered xxx with a bad engine and install an ea81 for RELABILITY, and ea82 intake and carb for "performance" if you want a "workhorse" engine, ea71 can't be beat -

The joys of a 79 brat?
subiemech85 replied to TRAVIS75's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
restore modify pick one! very few parts are readily available, which is why most are modified to install newer parts they are fine for smaller people great for around town decent offroad can be tiring during 3 hour 160 mile continuous road trips definately a keeper
