    How hard would it be to install a turbo on my 89 1.8l single port fuel injected EA82. I really don't want to do a motor swap for this motor has been tried and trued through the extreme abuse I have put it through.

    i also have to agree that the ea82 has a place, and anywhere near a turbo isnt that place. ej22 swaps are very easy. hell- ill help you do it. i have an engine, harness, the know how, and have done a few dozen swaps. if you need help or honest opinion, let me know

  2. i put a toyota sc12 or 14 (previa super charger )on an ea82 back in that day. over 15 years ago.

     

    it definitely made more power, wasnt super difficult to do, and dirt cheap. i messed around with it for a few months and sold the car, so no idea how reliable it ended up being.

     

    peak boost was 5psi. total cost was maybe 250. i see that as a win

  3. the two most common failures that lead to your issues are a faulty coolant temp sensor, although when these fail the symptoms are more consistent, not irratic

    if you choose to replace it use an OEM one

     

    second is a leaking injector. i just had the same exact symptoms with my 1989 legacy, i had two injectors pouring fuel in the cylinders while at rest overnight.replaced them and the seals, problem gone. if you replace injectors and the problem disappears, change your oil. there's fuel in it.

     

    napa can still get injectors for that car.

  4. we are restoring a 73 wagon, shes a gem and deserves more road time

     

    we need asap one or two front hubs, they appear to be integrated into the drum kinda

    ant other parts for this generation would be appreciated
