what about sizes for a turbo motor? i heard as big as you can get, but within reason. Skip, what do you have on your turbo wagon?

what rpm does it spool at with the mod? keep me posted, im very interested in doing this swap for my little turbah!!!

go into more detail about this legacy/EA82 turbo, me interested!!!

this would be going on wagonpowaa's brat which will be receiving an 1800 with ported big valve heads.

well the intake manifold and heads on this engine will be ported and maybe extrude honed (if pricing permits), so airflow will deffinatly not be a problem. not sure of the best route yet. can i get some more opinions and personal experience from board members?

ill use the hacksaw idea. I think im gonna need a new A/C condenser soon though. lots of new bent fins, etc.

alright guys, i want my 3rd eye already. Its going in an 84. I drilled out the spot welds on the front of the core support and noticed that there are two more on little tabs haning down from the underside of the top of the core support. does anyone have a simple method for getting these removed without the sawzall?

Mudrat, you have email!

sounds like 32/36 is the best option. so where did people get theirs from? I've heard a lot about Bow-Wow and Redline, but which company sells the best kit?

why is the EA82 carb intake better to use than the EA81?

Well the plan was to have the intake manifold extrude honed, and maybe the heads too, so that would improve the airflow into the cylinder. Would a 38/38 be good to use in that situation?

Ok, so if i was going to buy a weber to put on one of my cars, which model would be the best to use? I know next to nothing about the acronyms used by weber, so if you could clarify them, that would help. I've heard a lot of people using 32/36 or something, but ive also heard 38/38. what is the best one to use? this would be on an EA71 or EA81 depending on how soon the engine gets replaced.

Matt, I was being serious. If you want to offroad, i would say get a carbd car for cheap, because the amount of work you would have to do to get all the turbo plumbing and wiring out and getting the carbd motor in. I might be willing to buy the wagon off you for the right price or if you just pull the engine ill buy that off you too!

Matt, i seriously think that if you want to off road, get a factory carbd car. Putting a carbd engine in a turbo is sacralige!!! you just cant do it!!! If you do decide to lose the turbo engine ill buy it off you plus all the wiring and stuff.

Matt you can always drop the car and the title off at my house!

the gold colored tin above the bellhousing in front of the firewall. open it up and adjust the length of the throttle cable.

I think my car has 138,XXX miles on it. It was in real good condition when we found it though, obviously not owned by some pot-head pimp!

Mine passed the first time and wagonpowaa's BRAT passed first time too. never had problems with emissions so I cant give you any tips.

I still gotta bany my tunnel a little tinsy bit and paint some surface rust. Oh and install some new exhaust gaskets. then Ive gotta get the glove box light to work and the cargo light too. and also a 4WD low light and switch. Yo Matt, the boost controller is almost done... hehehehe :bday:

ill let you guys know, but first i have to source the parts... anyone have a junk 81 brat they wanna part???

so the EA82 front brakes are larger in diameter and thickness... do they have a different offset, because if they dont i could just make some custom caliper mounting brakets.

i dont think anyone has ever gotten this stuff. it was all pretty much in japan during the 80's and i doubt anything survived much less made it over here...

hmmm sounds like im gonna have to get a DR tranny and measure the front diff area and compare to the SR... anyone got one they want to offer up for use in an expariment?

Heres the spoiler And here are the racing pics you wanted
