February 20, 201214 yr Author Not to bad on the price. You can get a new one on Ebay for $199. This adapter is better then the two piece redline adapter but then you cant use the tall air filter. http://www.tdperformance.com/site/?d=108&dt=108&Keyword=2107 Yeah maybe i will just pony up and buy one for 199. Can someone link the adapted, air filter, and any other parts I will need?

February 20, 201214 yr Author Hey Moosen. Have you read this by chance? http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=74206 That makes me feel like I am getting in way more than I bargained for. What i get most from that is get the datsun adapter plate and the low air filter. and that's about it.
February 20, 201214 yr Its not hard at all. Just take your time,read through that right up on the basic swap and worry about pcv and stuff like that later. Here is the air filter assembly to use if you go with the Datsun adapter. http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Chrome-Air-FIlter-DGV-DGEV-Weber-Carbs-1-75-Tall-/130573053309?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr&hash=item1e66c2ad7d Use a piece if window screen to go over the Water hole on the intake under the carb and put some JB weld over it and let sit overnight before you put the adapter on. Make sure to smooth it out as best as you can so you don't get any unevenness under the adapter. Of course make sure the intake is clean of any old gasket material. After its on follow these instructions to tune it. http://www.redlineweber.com/html/Tech/carburetor_set_up_and_lean_best_.htm Edited February 20, 201214 yr by desertsubaru
February 20, 201214 yr I might get flamed but I am learning. Can this be done on an EA71?If you have a Hitachi carb on the engine then yes. I'm not sure about other carbs that came on EA71s. http://www.redlineweber.com/carb-kits/auto/subaru/
February 20, 201214 yr Author Has anyone dynoed there car with the weber installed to see how much Horsepower they are getting? I am interested to know. And what are the average miles per gallon you guys are getting? Just wanting to know how worth it, it will be.
February 20, 201214 yr I Swapped a Weber on my BumbleBeast Years ago... and I will Never go Back to an Hitachi carb anymore. Yes, it Worth it! Click on my Avatar to reach my Weber Swap Writeup with Pics and alternative adapters, part numbers and Proper PCV Routing... Kind Regards.
March 9, 201214 yr Author Alright talking with my dad, I think he is going to fund me getting a weber this summerish. hoping I can get it installed myself. I am scared. SHOUTOUT TO PEOPLE WITHIN 150 miles or so of BIG SKY, MT. Looking for help with a swap. Do I want a dgev or a manual choke? okay making a list of everything I need. And literally everything. Anything else besides these three things? http://www.webercarbsdirect.com/32_36_DGEV_p/22680.033b.htm http://www.ebay.com/itm/130573053309?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649#ht_3335wt_1308 http://www.ebay.com/itm/350528634213?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649#ht_1707wt_952 Edited March 9, 201214 yr by Moosen
March 9, 201214 yr If your hitachi's electric choke circuit is still functional, go with the electric choke. Its as simple as extending one wire, and crimping one connector. They the Weber choke functions like stock. No need to run a manual cable, and the choke is activated at the push of the pedal. Your parts list looks good. Though I dont know for certain if that is the correct adapter, and personally I think the weber air cleaners are garbage.

I dont know anything about no wire? ahaha someone tell me about this? does my car even have a wire? link to better air filter?
March 9, 201214 yr Your list is good. As for the air filter K&N makes one that size, I don't have a link but a google search will bring it up. The choke wire hooks on a round plastic thing on the carb. Usually one wire blue in color held on by a tiny nut. This is one of the easy swaps to do on a sube.

I am looking to get it done in one day. Is this it? https://www.pegasusautoracing.com/productselection.asp?Product=3812
March 10, 201214 yr Author Alright guys I will be getting a new carb and stuff tonight it looks like. should get here next week. Hoping to basically just be able to bolt it on in one day. One thing I am concerned about/don't know how to do it, is the water valves and pcv stuff (basically what do I need to plug?) I read Loyale 2.7's thread on it, but basically got confused because there are so many edits to it that say this is the way, no this is the way. So can someone clear it up for me? Edited March 10, 201214 yr by Moosen
March 10, 201214 yr link to better air filter? I ditched the weber/empi style filter all-together. I retrofitted the factory airbox to the weber
March 10, 201214 yr Author I ditched the weber/empi style filter all-together. I retrofitted the factory airbox to the weber 1. isn't that an ea71? 2. why would you do that?
March 10, 201214 yr *ea81 *because the filters available for that carb are CRAP. Its very hard to beat the filtration of the much larger, stock paper filter. It also lets me utilize the exhaust heat stove for cold weather operation.

March 10, 201214 yr i think it looks way better than that chinsy POS filter that comes with the weber. And with as clean as my GL is, I like having the ability to keep it looking OEM. Not terribly difficult.

March 10, 201214 yr Yes that filter setup will work. As for the PCV routing and vacuum hoses i used Loyale 2.7's first setup in his writeup. You need one vacuum to brake booster but thats in the intake and will not be changed by swapping carbs. 1 off the front of the carb to the Distributer and one to your heater controls off the intake on the passenger side of the car.

Still confused haha. Can someone do a video? I am a very visual learner. Anyways carb, air filter, and adapter all ordered just now.
March 11, 201214 yr Author So my biggest concern by far is allt he hoses. I have no idea what hose does what , So I am worried I will not hook it back up right.
March 11, 201214 yr Once you weber it you will ditch most of the hoses. You can see the vacuum line to the HVAC controls and the PCV lines and not much else in the pic. No more EGR or Evaporation canister. (this is my car at WCSS 5)
