yah, thats a perfect reason to go to a junkyard that lets you pull your own engine. you will pick it up for cheap and learn how to pull it without messing up your own car learning.

when the hose gets closer to atmospheric pressure, it tells your disty to advance the timing. at idle you have lots of vaccume and when you floor it, it drops to aroung 1or2 lbs of vac.

yah, thats why its easy as hell, and worth doing, on an ea81. i just let my ea82s leak:drunk:

the ea81 doesnt realy have the mickey mouse oring, like the ea 82s. i just resealed my ea81 this weekend with a kit from partsbin.com. they call it an oil relseal kit. 9bucks 5 orings, one paper gasket and about 45 minutes to get the damn paper gasket off.

well, the big fat harness fit through the large oval hole, behind the strut. poped out the rubber grommet and shoved it through. my computer is in my glove box space now with the led facing outward. i think i got it working with just the computer harness. i have power everywhere it needs to be. now i just have to get an ignition pulse. and hope the tach works. and stick in some relays, instead of straight power. where could we stick a writeup like this? how hard would it be to get it onto the ultimate repair manual?

i hate carbs on daily drivers. efi:headbang: spfi is a nece system, loads of mpg.

theres a nipple on the master, just like the one on the caliper. just do it the same way you did the calipers. someone stop him if i am wrong, but it has worked for me

so, how do they measure the 2k lbs. that means that you can lift 2000 lbs into the air? snatch block lets you double the pull? whats that? do you mean the lenght or it will pull 4k? can you use pullies to multiply force, if you were realy stuck?

i think its common knowledge that high egts mean lean condition. rich means unburnt fuel and it cools it down.

oh man, are you prepared for 40 less horse power?

also, i bet you could get a throttle cable from a 85 carb model, and that should work great. and you will have no prob on the fan, you just wont have a clutch fan, ea 82 electric only.

if you have the dual range tranny you can use the ea81 flywheel, if it was from a 4x4 8 7/8 inch. then you still keep your timing marks. and you can prolly leave the coil wires stock, and your tach will work, and it will still have power through the ignition. the rad wont give you any problems. should be easy as hell.

aside from mud. if you were stuck in snow, theres not so much of a suction, mostly loss of traction, right? this should be great for that right? i might have to order one.

i decided against using the adapter plate, and using the ea82 tranny, beause... everyone i talked to, said that it would hold up, but not if you beat on it, just like anything. but if i had that much hp, i would have to beat on it, and i dont like swappin trannies as much as i like swappin motors. 2.2 would be great, but i would do it with the ej tranny.

hrmm

as far as i know there was never a turbo model with a spider manifold.

i thought about this for a few months and decided the ea82 mpfi would be a better choice, if i wanted to finish it in a couple months. just imagine going from 75 hp to 130 with a boosted mpfi ea82

you can use a helicoil, and it will cost you about 40 bucks for the kit. or you can find a standard bolt that will fit(just a hair bigger) and redrill your cover and retap the hole to fit the bolt. i would either go one metric size up or go to the closest standard size. helicoils are for rich folk.

the ea82 rad wont fit *right* in without pulling the lower studs off, and drilling new holes for the top bolts. and i used an ea81 flywheel, because it has alot less metal hanging off the sides. less weight, noticeably. and making mpfi work is a whole writeup by itself, i'll do that after i get it runing.

you must have not crimped the line all the way, because if it was runing dry, it wouldnt spin.

you konw you arent prepared for something like this when you start off asking HOW EASY. how bout, not easy at all. call it hard, in fact realy hard. the wiring will be hard, building and welding the mounts in the right place will be hard. prolly as hard as it gets for a "swap"

my rear end on my ea82 4x is leaking, and since i let my brother drive it, the rear is making all kinds of whining noises, like its empty, but its not. is it easier to replace the "pumpkin" or the whole rear end? or does it just shound like my spider gears are shot?

as far as what adam ndj said. thats not the best way to go about it, even though its the easiest and it will work, kinda. you should just use the legacy center and put on the ea82 exhaust housing on it. otherwise your turbo is not balanced. if you turn the little compressor wheel over, you can see where it was balanced, and if you swich parts around your turbo could crap out early, because it will be off balance.

this should be archived, this is a bitch to find.

no, my engine is an 87, but its also an ea81. pushrod, and all my valves were clicking. now that they arent clicking the engine runs smoother and seems to rev better
