hovercraft with ej18
the 2.0 turbo pistons are weaker than ea81 pistons doubt that i have sets of both out will look agian. Sory to tell you but i just put the 2.0 piston in the ea block to confirm and its a exact fitt to tight if anything. I a'm wrong somtimes thats why i check with the actual parts this do's not lie better check your specs agian.

why whould you use 1600 pistons as they are very weak and break easly when a ej 2.0 piston go's right in the 1600 piston has two thick rings and fails between the comp rings the ej 2.0 piston has pin rings and better aluminum or at least a ea 82 piston has better ring spacing the 1600 ones are just to weak to be reliable have broke many in stock 1600 cars is the only problem ive seen in the 1600

Idling problems:Any trouble shooting tips
ivans imports replied to gsac132's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXtest for coil pull wires off one at time about a inch from coil spark should be able to jump gap when running make shure use gloves and insalated plyers if has good spark is ok. Have only seen coil fail by tracing to ground bolt or burning a trace inside the coil outputs. but just losing spark never have seen the odd ig mod loose one side of coil but makes two dead cly at same time ether 2/4 or1/3. I whoud still gess valve damage have seen the valves get just touched barly but enuff that will still run but valves are not strait but still seal was commen on the later roler train 2.2

early ej22 headgasket failure
retouquing whouldent hurt but i whould gess that the head or block surface could be bad i have seen up to 6 thow warp on tops of cly so no mater how good the gasket is it just cant seal. We are going to try for fun surfacing a whole short block asembled and see how that works. I tourque the head bolts 90-90 but then i check and recheck the bolts about 3 times each bolt to make shure that they are all the same have had some that once all the bolts are tight i find that others are slightly backed off mabee cause the gasket compresing

hovercraft with ej18
A justy alt might be lighter and have shaved the intakes before have had to do alot to try and cut wheight on the mud dragster to make it less front heavy. Cut off all the extra ears brackets ect whent to header instead of cast. Opps not the buggy where working on. The other option is to get more out of the ea81 was just below the hp spec needed thought that mabee tbi on it could bring up the hp i have it on my 81 brat engine works well and makes good power but have no idea what hp its actualy making any one know 81 ea81 with loyale TBI makes ? hp there are no specs for thiss setup

hovercraft with ej18
Heres the real problem its not mine so every mod has to be aproved by owner he has spent lots of time and money trying to cut wheight and reposition wheight my job is as the engine builder to get the engine to the exact wheight specifyed. I'm not working on the machine just the engine witch makes it difacult to solve.Its up to me to reduce the engine wheight not craft wheight. Is a bitt frustrating but i like the chalenge keep up the good ideas.

Weird Oil Pressure?
sound just fine its normal to have low oil preshure at idle with ea82 if you whant more stretch the oil relieve valve springs in the top of heads to bring it up as theese control the oil preshure in the ea82 engine. If its not ticken then no problems when oil preshure is to low they tick like crazy.

hovercraft with ej18
this type of problem solving is hard thiss is good to get other peoples ideas. There is a flywheel so we could start there it dosent need to be the same wheight as a ea81 because it makes more power. But it needs to be lighter the engine cant be moved and more hp whould not help as prop is setup for max 120 hp. It uses two engines a small rotax for lift and a ej1.8 for thrust. 50 lbs is alot to remove but i think it could be done. The benifits to having the ej in place of the ea have to be wheighed the ej makes more hp and tourque and has efi witch gives it relability but the ea is lighter but carbed.Thanks for the ideas will keep you guys posted on the end results.

rear main seal install
ivans imports replied to logic23's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXflush with bevel I like to put a film of ultra grey around seal to garentie will not come loose as seal should be instaled when the block halfs are asembeld the halfs of the block actualy clamp the seal in place so when you try to push it in after the fact it can be very tight and dosent always seal where the block seam is.
