hey all new to this i am looking at doing a reno job on a 1983 twin carb rx coupe anyone done one and what things should i look out for

Welcome!

 

The Twin carb engine has a Different Design on its Heads: the Valves are in opposite position than the Single carb engine and other Things... so I kindly suggest you to Try to Keep it all Complete.

 

The Best thing I've seen done to that Twin carb setups is to Swap a Couple of 32/36 Weber carbs instead of the hitachi crap carbs.

 

It will be nice to post Pictures of your Subie.

 

Kind Regards.

Aside from the somewhat special engine (see post above) keep an eye out for rust, rust and... rust!

 

Oh and pics please

yeah ive heard alot about the webber carbs will put that and def the rust on my list and will post pics later today cheers for the help

there are a few different sorts of the 32/36 weber carbs any idea of a part number

Sorry no idea on the P/N's but if for no other reason than those webbers singing with velocity stacks at 7 grand you gotta get em.

The Weber 32/36 is the same, the only difference is the Choke: DGEV = Electric Choke, the DGAV = Water Choke, and so.

 

For the EA81 engine the Conversion kit is the K-730 from Redline-Weber.

 

I Obtained my K-731 Kit (For EA82) Redline-Weber that included the 32/36 Weber carburetor Already Jetted for Subaru, plus the Adaptor Plates and Air Filter Box with element, everything Brand new, Here:

Your 1983 Twin carb engine should be the EA81, or is the EA71? ... I am Not Sure if the EA81 twin carb Shares the Carburetor's Base Size with the EA71 Twin Carb... So maybe you'll need another adaptor plate.

 

The Best way to do Cheap a Twin Weber carbs Setup on your engine, is obtaining Used 32/36 Webers and their adaptors... maybe thru e-Bay.

 

Kind Regards.
