i was quite happy that i got that! you gotta milk it when uve got to keep up with a skyline or 2 and a celica GT4 , pass them when you can! hahaha!

well, standard EA81 engine, apart from a cherry bomb, K&N and running it at 3.1%, downhill ive had 117mph with a couple of hundard RPM left, 120 is possible, maybe a tadge more, dont like doing top speed runs, causes ALOT of strain those last few MPH bearing in mind the wheels and tyres ive got and it being a bit lower and alot stiffer helps with the handling ALOT at higher speeds, even then things start to waver! anyone got an idea bout the 5 speeds, might need one after my engine is done!

oh sorry! i should know really seeing as i see landys all the time, meh, o well! really like that tubular bumper on the EA81, looks nice and neat, anyone done that on a 82 as well?

that would make quite a neat setup, one on each port for me i guess you then have to setup fuel pressures, high pressure pump and lines then, omg, im not ready for all that again!

i dont actually have a pic of the finished article, all the parts on, the last one is about the closest (ive had to experiment with various things) The only thing i can think of being a bit difficult is the water passage, as mine is completely different, and seperate, instead of right next to the inlet, using the same gasket surface, you would need to knock up a flange plate which you can then weld what you like on for your water passage, again, not too much of a challenge, and if you can get access to the right equipment, would be quite easy the alternator location shouldnt be a trouble for you, so a balancer tube will be easier to fit, ive had to cut up some old oil filler tube off my other trucks to make it go over the alternator, works a treat!

hmm, interesting, is it that pic which shows seperate manifolds? it just shows a red cross at me 2day for that pic yeah, would be mine that one hahahahaha!!!!!!!!! well, if your handy with carbs, i reakon it would be pretty easy, but ive started with a whole new setup, and its being a bit of a *************** to be honest! if your gonna keep with standard ignition and stuff (in other words, dont touch any of it) your basically need one 90 deg bend on each side, and a small tube for balancing the 2 which would need to be hard lined, because its a vaccum, and then a sealed, solid nipple for a vaccum for you brakes and advance on the dizzie, not too hard, and a twin throttle cable setup, again not too bad, ive made one out of homemade parts, it works nice, shall put some pics up of it, and then you need to remember that the carbs are gravity fed, well mine are, so a small adjustable pressure regulator is also nessercary, all in all, if you got the carbs, would cost me about £80 max i would say, and thats overdoing it, its worth a go in other words, and if its not going well, you can just put the standard setup back on, oh, and you need to get a thermostat housing as well, with a subie thermo in there, or somin that does the same job and run a water pipe with T piece for the heater in it and fuel T piece. my carbs are 36mm 'round slide' carbs, they have a plunger in them instead of a butterfly, i can take out the jets and have a look sometime to see what they are, but i need to get mine goin properly first its possible alright, somin i would give ago if i had them laying around or were cheap, and most of the stuff you could make without 2 much trouble if you've got a creative mind and your a bit handy. all in all -inlet manifolds with balancer tube and vaccum holes (two 90 deg bends basically) -twin throttle cables -fuel T piece -fuel pressure regulator -sepertate water passage with thermostat and reader, with inline T piece -and 'thats it' i can put some pics up of mine when it was halfway and stuff, but its late for me now, shall put up 2moz

hmm, yeah, didnt think bout the whole port sizes on the top, surely both those would be a bit small, but if i used everything that would come on the turbo manifolds, and esstentially 'converted' them into duals, would it would work if you had a standard EA81, and bolted all the EA82 stuff onit would it work, and is it even a 'bolt' on?

lol, ok, i got these SUB4 heads, inlets, carbs, cam, twin ignition system and some other bits from ron at RAM engines about 2 months ago, they were in his for sale part of the site, na, these are carb manifolds, with a pair of mikuni 36s on it thats what mine looks like (its not completely finished in that pic) and no, cant say i did, how old was he, and where in sussex, its quite big! (ish)

right, so ive had this thought bouncing around in the back of head for a while, ive heard of the S/MPFI conversion on the EA81s from the EA82s and am quite interested into moving that on somehow, basically i want to turbo my EA81 its not just a case of getting one and bolting it straight on anymore ethier, and i dont want to do a EA82 conversion as i might as well do an EJ, as ive said before i want to keep the EA81, its kind of that originallity thing, like AE86's, want to keep with subaru parts from that era the 'problem' i have now is that ive got SUB 4 dualports on mine now, so it would have to have a dual setup on it, and i dont really want to go buy a manifold from RAM, cause there well expensive! hahaha! basicically the question is: turbo converting a EA81 dual port with EA82 T stuff, ideas guys!

wow, dont think ive seen a series 1 that mint before! that got salsbury axles on it? and the ATV tyres, oh, they quite soft? thinkin bout getting an upgrade for the old SJ, they look quite agressive and good at declogging

yep, thats me lol, had just bin out in the rain for a offroad blast, and had the ex round, caught me all soggy and randomly chewing on a penlid lol and the seats are now in my truck, not my room anymore!

what are the tyres on that! they look rood! they any good?

crusie control on older stuff, yeah, thats new to me! and i had the same problems with my old standard heads and carb, as with any lower powered car, foot to the floor up steep hills! hahahaha!

hmm, sounds like fun, yeah, im not sure on the whole taper thing, and both ends ive found are rounded, but i have had the problem of the stub axle out the box doesnt really line up that well on one 180 deg, maybe thats the trouble you've got, have you tried to move the axle in and out by hand to help dislodge it? does sound like its well in there though! be careful with the heat matey!

i woulda thought its a 5mm on the smaller one, ive got a 6mm spanner, and it seems a bit sloppy on there, dont have a 5 lol! i do mine the old fashioned way, seems alright but for the price and if your doing them maybe regularly, on a few cars, then probs worth it

lol soz, ddddddduuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhh, me bit slow on that intially!

oh yeah, sorry mate! i do remember now, i did wonder what happaned to that! bit embarrsed to ask this, but would you happan to have the link, i cant seem to find it

right guys! another brain picking session! lol just so i know what im looking for, what can i put, if anything on the back of my EA81 4sp now RWD trans, which is an LSD, not overly fussed about ratios which would fit, and what would i need to mod? and any pics of the car type to go with would be great

i admire your handywork mate, looking like a good one, cant wait to see the finished result! i know what you mean bout the whole left hand drive thing, im the same now!

very nice and clean, join the non rust club! lmao, waxoil the hell out of everything and you can have the piece of mind, and get that bumper refurbed! it makes so much difference! get some 15s on it, low pros, drop it and add a bit more power, go on you know you want to.....

i wish the exchange rate was how it was once, $2.1-£1! lol, thinkin bout the charger, but im defo gonna go with the forged internals, i want 160 N/A! that'll be just be awesome, put some bigger carbs on the setup ive got, the bottom one, and then up the compression, and a full stainless system, arrr yeah then 1 BAR boost with the charger, yeah i know, a bit much, but that'll be way over 200, maybe 240ish? WOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! BAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! went the drivetrain

just to put back up after the server was changed, was only in the playground, though whoever missed it can have a look as well RAM engines 200hp supercharged EA as well what the hey, mine as well lol

engine, standard apart from, K&N small round filter, and valve cover breathers, fuel mixture cranked up to 3.1% exhuast, 'walker' front section (this is a subaru standard part) looks alot more square than the more sorta Y shape ones you can get, but does give alot more of a thud thud thud rumble instead of all mashed into one, so it sounds alot more like an impreza, is was a case of one got a hench hole in it, and was buggered anyway, so i changed it, standard centre section and the cherry bomb on the back, the chrome tip one, so it looks nice out the back as well, but most importantly, not too over the top! and finally, drivetrain, just RWD thats all why is it i make posts so long!

the ken block comparision, meh, i guess cause hes doin pretty well, and the practice vid made me think of that lol, could say russ swift or somin exhuast, when that was filmed, very poorly i might add lol! its only off a phone in very low light. just standard system with a 3" cherry bomb back box (made here in england yeeeeeeeee) lol not too loud, but has a nice definatly NON raspey note, i cant stand rasp! and a K&N on it, plus you can only hear it once, a rev limiter, which i love! valve bonce disturbs me! hahaha otherwise pretty standard engine wise, till now.....

right, i know that this is a major bump! but the wheels off the WRC, i had the very same thoughts going through my head, and they look damn close in the flesh, because ive seen these puppies at the prodrive engineering workshops in banbury oxfordshire, about a 2 hour drive from me, at one of the open days once when i went with the old man and the second on the colin mcrae tribute run, think i know what my next enquirey is gonna be, as i originally enquired about an apprecaship there, and you need lots of quals before you can get there! so guess what im planning to do for my next college? lol would be one different suby for sure after i got a set of them bad boys on it would be a result! see what i can find! but from what i can guess, its cheaper probably to get your own hubs with custom stud pattern made up, something i would give a bash, how hard can it be
