  1. anyone done a oil cooler on a ea-82? or a up graded alternator?
  2. good to know that the rpm can go that high. so a safe red line would be 7800-8000 rpm. on the itb and high compression pistons
  3. i just found out today what pistons are used in the ea82 airplane motor:D they are a Yamaha motorcycle performance piston. as soon as i confirm this info ill let everyone know........if you guy didn't already know
  4. i haven't decided on side draft or downdraft
  5. you know GD if i wanted a lots of power for cheap I've got a LS1 i could drop in my Subaru. i think its 371 hp i bought for $1200 used turn key ready 45,000 miles. i know it works i pulled out of the corvette it was in. its not about making power, its about owning a unique car that not seen to often (here in southern California) and just making it even more unique with out sacrificing its original heart & soul. not saying its not super cool doing a ej swap just not for me right now
  6. would you mind shipping one here to the states? Of course ill pay for shipping and the part.
  7. that good to know thanks ill save my valve out of my na ea82 has any one monkeyed around with bigger valves?
  8. if i get my car up to 110-145 hp or a really nice 0-60 mph ill be happy my other car is a race car anyway
  9. ok i do understand the ea82 is considered inferior to ej20 or greater and that the ea82 will never be a ej. i live in socal where my Subaru is very rare and never seen i used to work for a Subaru dealer in riverside ca as a tech. if i wanted a ej i would buy an ej or an Impreza. however i now run a online parts store with a friend ksdengineering.com and i see this as great way to do something a little different with a car not seen to often here in riverside. ive owned plenty of carburetor cars and have only been stranded once because of it being a carburetor.....that sat for 11 years and never been rebuilt or cleaned before.:-p
  10. and thank you guys for the opinions and info.
  11. just so every one knows my ea82 is na I do not want to turbo my ea82. the na ea82 carb motor in my car has single port heads. the turbo or port injection xt4 na have duel port heads. i would like to run individual carburetors on the my ea82 with the turbo heads and modified xt4 intake manifold. in theory this should improve throttle response like nobody's business and greatly improve mid range. with the use of a turbo distributor for a greater timing advance. and what ever happened to the 1986 Subaru rally car anyway?
