Caboobaroo Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 the cars you'll need to look for depend on it yours is 4wd or 2wd since the carbs differ. Basically if its 4wd, make sure the car is 4wd, manual tranny, and depending on if you need a carb from a california model, make sure its from a california model. Thats basically it On the lift question, the 3/3 lift will make the front end sit lower then the rear so thats why people go with a 4/3 lift, to level it all out and make it sit even all around.

Caboobaroo Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 basically Ford Pintos came with a Holley 5200 on them. Not sure if ALL of them did but mine came off of one. I do know someone who got one from a Ford 2.3 liter in a Ranger. late '70s and early '80s have them I believe... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All_talk Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 If your going JY, what about one of the Holley throttle body EFI setups from a K-car, pretty simple and self contained... crap, but simple and self contained crap.

Is the 5200 a knock-off of the Webber? The Webs are kinda rich for my blood, and I'd like to find a cheaper and more common alternative thanks, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbrat Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 here's an awesome thread on this very subject. found with search items (Weber find) http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=14373&highlight=weber+find Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboobaroo Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 the Holley 5200 is exactly like you said. Its a Weber knock-off but it was still based on the ideas from Weber because Holley had Weber design it for them. I got mine from a swap meet for 15 bucks and it had been rebuilt by a carb shop! It takes the same adapter plate as a Weber depending on which motor you have (ie EA71's and EA81's are the same adapter whereas the EA82 is different). Plus the jetting kits for the Weber work for the Holley from what I can tell since I rejetted mine with Weber jets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torxxx Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 a ford 2150 (inline 6) carb works too I believe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thealleyboy Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 a ford 2150 (inline 6) carb works too I believe Are you talking about the old Autolite 2bbl? That would be sweet if it would work on an EA82. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CIS Subaru Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 '70s and '80s Nissan trucks used a Hitachi carb that is larger than the EA82 one, but still bolts directly up to the EA82 carb intake manifold. I've never run one, but I did test fit one at a junkyard. This carb is a 30/34 where the EA82 carb is a 28/32 and the EA81 carb is a 26/30. The Nissan trucks have a 2.0L engine, so I bet the jetting is pretty close to correct. Also, since they're trucks they don't have as much emissions crap attached to them. No ECU! It seems like maybe Isuzu trucks and SUVs from the same time period may have used these carbs too, but I can't remember right now. ----------------- EDIT -------------------- Oops, I was a little backwards. I'm pretty sure the 30/34 carb mentioned above was from an Isuzu, though some older Datsun/Nissan trucks used them too. Here's a list of larger Hitachi carbs that I just accumulated from various websites: 81-84 Isuzu Imark 1.8L DCH-340 81-82 Isuzu P'up 1.8L DCH-340 83-87 Isuzu P'up 1.9L DCH-340 85-90 Isuzu P'up and Trooper II 2.3L DCR-384 84-87 Isuzu Trooper II 1.9L DCR-340 81 Datsun 510 2.0L DCR-342 82-86 Nissan Stanza 2.0L DCR-342 75-80 Datsun Pickup 2.0L DCH-340 81-83 Nissan Pickup 2.2L DCR-342 83-85 Nissan Pickup 2.4L DCR-384 82-84 Chevy S-10 1.9L DCH-340 80-86 Nissan Pulsar 2.0L DCR-342 80-86 Nissan Pulsar 2.2L DCR-360 83-85 Nissan Pulsar 2.4L DCR-384 I'm pretty sure the DCH-340 was the one I test fit onto a EA82 manifold. From what I've seen, the model numbers of Hitachi carbs tell you the throttle bore sizes as follows: First 2 digits are the larger bore. Last digit is the last digit of the smaller bore, so you have to assume the first digit of the smaller bore. So an EA81 DCP-306 is a 26/30, an EA82 DCZ-328 is a 28/32, etc. If anyone tries one of these carbs, PLEASE let us know how it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
