July 25, 200421 yr So--I have to bow to the horsepower gods--the EA81 motor can't work the new tires well enough (see prior post) & I'm thinking of a Legacy 2.2 & two/wheel/drive 5-speed. I've got the motor & no, I can't use anything bigger without moving into another class--I thought about a EJ25 & that would move me up against the 5.0 Mustangs &---- So--has anyone done it or seen it done? This looks like the winter project, so time will be on my side? All weigh in here or contact me at britnutdl@macdialup.com Later!!!!
July 25, 200421 yr sorry if this is off the topic but do you have the dimensions for the replacement bushings that you had on your site? Just wondering cause I would like to make some out of UHMW or even T-6 aluminum
July 25, 200421 yr I've Done it 2 times Now.....Going for a 3rd.... Call me when you are ready to do it.....John My # is in My Signiture.....
July 25, 200421 yr Author sorry if this is off the topic but do you have the dimensions for the replacement bushings that you had on your site? Just wondering cause I would like to make some out of UHMW or even T-6 aluminum Well-I make bushings for people--if you are set-up to cut UHMW I can send you the specs--or I can make you a car set for $60--I need to ship out another set to a guy in the Bay Area--let me know-- britnutdl@macdialup.com
July 25, 200421 yr Author I've Done it 2 times Now.....Going for a 3rd.... Call me when you are ready to do it.....John My # is in My Signiture..... Hi John--I work at a shop in Medford--have all the equiptment to do the mod--would be interested in photos/tips for the mod. Any problem areas? Also--I have identified a dist type to mount in the rear of the cam boss on the pass bank--I will be removing the F.I. & redesigning the intake for a sidedraft Dellorto 45--want to make it simple--no electronics other than the dist--I'm a old-school carb man---
July 25, 200421 yr Yeah I am sat up for it in fact they have some up at Clackamas Community College and I fiddled around with it and made a test plug for my large ID threading project in class on the lathe. I also have access to alot of machinery at work too so no problems with that. and with the EJ-22 isn't it Ditributorless?
July 25, 200421 yr I thought so so might just keep the FI and just chase wires for the ECU to engine stuff
July 25, 200421 yr Author Yes--The EJ series engines are computer-controlled & dist-less--The point is that I'm going to modify the engine in several ways & this generally goes outside the computer pre-set fuel/ignition curves--I was pleased to see a cross-slot in the right (pass side) cam--this allows a old type electronic dist with mechanical advance--the cover boss can be machined to accept several units I can think of---Also, I want the simple-fix-it-at-the-track of carbs & basic ignition--if you have a computer problem, you are side-lined til you can get to the systems to help check it out--not so with the K.I.S.S. (keep it simple stupid) system--re-jetting & basic electronics can be done in the pits very quickly. By the way--I just finished two days of Autocross with the car--We had long track times--My best was a low 1min 42sec & some change--for a "heads up"-- a friend from Portland was down with his '02 WRX & his best was a 1min 46sec & change--so my "old school" '82 GLF cleaned up a "new" WRX--He was a good sport, but-------
