Im up for some Reiter action, dont know if my soob will make the Lake Isabelle trail as it sit; but i will be up in Reiter for when you guys return. Definetely. Jay

I got a 185/70/13 under the hood of my wagon, on a wagon wheel. Fits a little tight, but no problems.

sounds like something id be interested in for my Ea81 non-ac car. 1 pound of rotating mass is worth 7 non-rotating pounds. seems like it would be a big improvement on the rev-happyness. Try that sucker out and let us know how it goes.

Last time i checked, the justys had hitachi cast engines... fairly certain on that.. also, a caged roofless 4wd justy with 14" honda rims and M+S tires is a pretty good baja'er

I tried mounting the SPFI intake to the hitachi on my 83 and the carb didnt have enough "meat" sticking up for the clamp to get a hold on to. What did you do to extend the carb throat enough for the MPFI intake to clamp down on? The SPFI intake i got is just like the MPFI pictured.

archemitis - what did you use for an air filter on the end of that MPFI intake?

I agree with ru4x4, more pics needed!

Ok, Ive Decided to go with the SPFI intake, and run it back into the spare tire well with a k&n for now. But the big question is getting the snorkel out of the engine compartment and up onto the A-pillar like a jeep or hummer, to really keep it water free. I dont want to use pcv pipe but if thats the only choice I guess ill have to work with it. Any suggestions? Jay

Due to the recent off-roading my wagon has experienced, I have noticed a slight problem. It seems that my stock EA-81 doesnt take to deep mudholes very well . I was wondering about making a Snorkel for the stock hitachi and also what you guys have done for your soobs. Did a search already and didnt find the answers i was looking for. Have any of you used a kit designed for a jeep (fender mount type safari snorkels) and made it fit. On my 83 GL, im concerned if I mounted anything to the snout of the filter housing, the battery would have to go somewhere. But where?. Also, if I were to remove the stock filter housing, would you guys suggest removing all the vacuum lines and just running a "connector" (been up too long) from the carb inlet to say a K&N? I Have a Filter to Inlet "connector" from an SPFI wagon and I think it could be adapted to work with the Hitachi. Any Input from the pros? Pictures would be good as well. Jay PS.... I will be looking to "utilitarializing" the interior in the near future. ( muddy carpet )
