mpfi conversion, what not to do
i know that cis subaru used his stock pump(spfi) to feed the underhood bosch pump, 80 psi i myself plan to use the carb pump in my wagon to feed the legacy pump under the hood for the ej22 dont know for sure how i will work out, but its nothing to stop me from trying it out. besides, trying things out is how we as a message board knows things when it comes to new ideas

fuel tank 81 brat
does the tank have a drain plug? my 83 and 84 wagons had them, but maybe they didnt have them pre 83.

Need some speed@rpm numbers
i noticed that speed in 3rd gear is the same as rpm, 30 mph=3000 rpm in 3rd 3000 rpm in 4th is about 50, 3500 rpm in 5th is around 65-70 mph you will generally have an idea of how fast youre going if you have been driving enough. if in doubt, keep pace with traffic hey, i found a speedo cable that looks to be ea82 5spd, let me know if you will need it

Road Trip II: TrashWagon's RETURN

So who would build the NEXT trashwagon?
well since you built your car how you want it, and if that bumper is for running over trashcans, i would say its trashwagon material
-

sorry we wont be going that particular way, but i appreciate the offer, so i may take you up on any parts as i plan to come to Midwest II
-
So who would build the NEXT trashwagon?
ok, lets see the word TRASHWAGON in your signatures!

can you tell me what yr. is my EA81?
80-84 are ea81 listings 85-94 are ea82/loyale listings 85-89 are hatchback and brat(-87) listings, after they quit making wagons and coupes after 80-84

So who would build the NEXT trashwagon?
as far as projects in progress, lets see the most completed examples for number designations but for trashwagon exclusivity, as to not run my next'wagon as #23, lets make the next designation from a new project, with the trashwagon theme in mind so with the "projects in progress" that would qualify for trashwagon status, lets let you be creative with the trashwagon name itself, rather than a number (for existing projects) such as "Battle TrashWagon" or "TrashWagon XT" or "TrashWagon Off Road" you get the idea, as long as trashwagon is in the title trashwagons 7 and 8 will have to be reserved for trogdor and alleyboy, if they chose a number designation, at this point.

So who would build the NEXT trashwagon?
ok, the wal mart paint will oxidize, so the money spent on krylon will be worth it. i like to use the satin black for headlight bezels, the b pillars, and for the roof. i will use the wal mart primer, about 4-6 cans is good for the whole car. one can of paint is good for a pair of fenders, 2 doors, a hood, or a tailgate if you use cheaper paint, use a clearcoat i suggest krylon for white, and orange chose a color for the base color, and suppose have white on the bottom 1/3 and orange stripe, that follows along the body. or your choice of colors, but the same pattern i think the pattern would be more distinct than the colors. but orange and white are definate recognition factors
-
So who would build the NEXT trashwagon?
ok, throw some paint on there (are you handy with krylon?) and you could pretty much claim TRASHWAGON but you would have to represent it as TRASHWAGON. take some styling cues from my website
-
So who would build the NEXT trashwagon?
pit some carpet in and paint it..... would anyone be serious about a trashwagon build? for real
-
How unrealistic is a N/A MPFI EA81?
i woul;d think a NA mpfi from an 85-86 would be a good choice, you can adapt it to work with the ea81t's ecu, and therefore spare a complete ea81 motor for trade value
-
So who would build the NEXT trashwagon?
as long as its a wagon...
-
So who would build the NEXT trashwagon?
the licensing for the name, and the number designation will be granted to the car that keeps true to the trashwagon theme
-
So who would build the NEXT trashwagon?
So i have this idea, for anyone wishing for a project, if someone could build up a WAGON to the trashwagon theme. no, trashwagon does not mean the wagon is trash. it means that you take something and make it how you want it. so if anyone were to "commission" another trashwagon, they would get the name TRASHWAGON 7, so the next one i would build would be 8 so to have the trashwagon number designation, the car will hace to have at least Stage 1: interior mods such as gauges, lighting, stereo, or carpet Stage 2: interior mods, and exterior mods such as Lights, Antennae, bumpers, and fender cuts/sheetmetal Stage 3: interior, exterior, and engine/suspension mods such as tranny conversions, carb, engine swap, performance upgrades, and lifts, springs, or shocks are examples somewhere on the car it will have to be labelled TRASHWAGON (#) if you like to go as far as paint, you must have the paint stripe pattern(stage 2) this is just an idea, the builder would have full discretion of how and what to do to the car, as long as the car fits the trashwagon idea nad scheme, so it could be recognized as a trashwagon

Score!
i forgot to mention that it was an EJ 4spd 23d, which i have, and the harness for, in reference to installing sich a trans and having to swap in the wiring and TCU for it
-
EA82 water pump
ol' Skip-'nus, i could go take a look, but all my motors are OPEN BELTS
-
EA81 engine swap... First Timer ANY tips Appreciated.
if you want a 5spd, you will have to modify your motors bellhousing to fit the ea82 flywheel, search for "5 spd conversion" you could drop in an ea82 motor just as easily, if you didnt have a new motor already
-
New lift idea
something like that looks as if it could acommodate an ea82 axle in an ea1 car i know that TOMRHERE wants to figure out something for more suspension travel, maybe you can ponder with him over the idea
