Thanks Snowman. But what is cooling the incoming air to the engine???? Sorry i cant see it, i guess the picture is trying to talk someone else. Well Im going to use Bosch fuel injection and get a new ecu to control it, but that is in the later stages of the project. I'll document all my modifications and make like a journal/book and then convert it to pdf and put in it the designated section on the board. When I get done ill maybe make a quicktime video too, hehehe.

Well no need for an engine swap the engine only has 86k on it. GeneralDisorder make alot of great suggestions that would let my ea81 engine hit 150+hp and if i get the AWD setup figured out with good suspension, I could make sure all the power generated by the engine gets transfered to the ground.

You mean don't exist(http://www.torsen.com/products/products.htm) or dont exist for the subaru. Well that cleared up alot, i know what i need to do now. Now its time for me to go junkyard hopping and hit the garage with my subaru. Ill keep everyone posted on my progress, thanks for everything folks.

Well im going to focus on street performance, no offroading for me. Going to use a fuel injection setup, no carb for me. I want to make the car accelerate fast and handle corners really well. No scoop for me either, I want to keep all engine mods under the hood, aka a sleeper car . Any suggestions on the remaining questions: 2. I want to convert the car to AWD using Torsen diffs, where can i get the donar transfer case from and let me know of any pitfalls in performing a AWD conversion? 6. Any suggestions also on high performance suspension parts/systems that will fit my model. Again thanks for the prompt response to my questions. Sorry about the fan question, should have looked under the hood to see if it already had one, assumed it didn't.

Again thanks for all the input, much appreciated. Now I need to ask a few questions before i go off to work on the car. 1. Which manifolds, both intake and exhaust should i get? (board postings suggested taking them off a ea82???) 2. I want to convert the car to AWD using Torsen diffs, where can i get the donar transfer case from and let me know of any pitfalls in performing a AWD conversion? 3. I want to use cold air induction on the motor to help get more air into the engine, any suggestions? 4. How would I setup an electric fan to the radiator and where to get such a fan? (suggested somewhere in the forum, said it would free up some hp???) 5. Where do i get the rear disk breaks from, can I get them of another sub or do i have to pay for some after market set? I'm also puting in fuel injection, thanks for all your help on the carb though. Any suggestions also on high performance suspension parts/systems that will fit my model.

Wow that was quick. I can tell this is a good site to come to with any problems. Ill post my progress with the car in the appropiate section. Thanks a bunch folks. Hey admins, i think generaldisorder needs a promotion. What manufacter do you suggest for the ground cam? And if i get the five speed awd i would have to change the differential(looked at torsen didnt see any prices?? Any suggestions??) Would you point me in the direction of a how to modify your subaru book(for example how would i know which weber carb would be good for my subaru engine type for example) or just list all the mods that you referred to in you post aside from the mods you suggested and good places to find the parts you suggest. Sorry if i seem to be rushing, just want to get this car project going, hehehehe.

I just purchased an automatic 82 subaru gl 2d hatchback with 86k miles for 400 dollars...so i guess im the new guy,heh. Well i was wondering how i could make the car faster. What engines can i put in the car. I was looking through the web and found this webpage that talked alot about engine types(http://www.autospeed.com/cms/article.html?&A=0231) but i didnt talk about compatibilty. I was wondering if i could put a ej20(t or even tt ) in an 82 , hehehe, but that might not be possible. Well basically i want to make the car reach 175-200hp with as much torque as possible, so experts help a newbie out. All possible solutions accepted, example change tranny to accomadate the engine.
