Just a thought for the next time you pull a carb, mark the hoses and their barbs numerically, so when you put it back on, you know right where everything goes. Can't help you otherwise.

Both EA81 and EA82 engines have horrific port geometry, and unless you port the $#!T out of them or cast new heads, you will have a hard time making power without forced induction.

A white EA81 wagon with an auto just showed up, but nothing else for a long time...

My wagon needs its exhaust reconnected, clutch replaced and an alignment. When all that is fixed, I'll have numbers for you.

Check your grounds. I find that when odd stuff starts happening to your electronics, loose, corroded or missing grounds can usually be the culprit.

I would assume that a shock for a Jeep TJ designed for a 6 inch lift would be what you're looking for. Try an online 4wheeler dealer.

Are those prices new or used? Subaru = $75 for the bolt on setup

Do you have a higher resolution copy of that magazine article? NOTE TO MODS!!! We should add it to the archive!!

I pulled a seat with an arm rest, not a pass though, from an 84 GL-10 coupe. Couldn't tell you about the sedans, since I don't seem them very often.

Do a Google search for Possum Bourne. He started the Subaru/Rally pehnominon, starting with RXs.

Will, I know you are a spectacular driver, and couldn't some of this ^^ be attributed to you being a good driver and them being only mediocre? You also may not like the WRX very much, but in my Dad's stock 02, I can keep pace with those funny little "performance cars" with the blue and white emblems on the hood and those awesome tires from Indiana... I like the WRX just fine.

No and no. Sorry...

Last time I checked, they were ancient history. Might be worth a try at a different dealer though.

Any updates? Its been a couple months and worth a re-visit.

Did these ever get sold?

New England may have had similar emissions regulations as Cali at the time and all cars shipped there were required to have Cali smog equipment. Just an idea.

I've had 6 EA81s (turbo and non) and they all had 1 cat. The Cali turbos came with two for sure though. Who told you that? Almost any engine can benifit from increasing the diameter of the exhaust. For his aplication anything above 2 1/2" is much too large.

I love the car, but did you take those pics with a cell phone camera or what?!?

A few of my friends have Porsche 944s. Their ECU is under a piece of wood in the passengers side foot well. Maybe make a hideout for the amp like that?

I have an amp under the driver's side front seat in my EA81 wagon and it has never overheated on me dispite not having an internal fan. If yours is slim enough, I encourage this route.

The turbo car did indeed turn out to be a blue coupe.

Thanks for the tip Ed! We need this turbo for Quattro San, and maybe a few other peices for my fleet!

WOOT!! WELCOME TO THE FAMILY!!!

Well to update this thread, I now have the black T-Coupe and I saw the maroon coupe I mentioned in the last thread again a few days ago in Bellingham running around in the snow:

This is the end to an old thread. I eventually sent a pic of the engine. If anyone stunbles upon this thread in the future, shoot me a PM and I'll give you a copy of the pics.
