1.8L L4 2BBL ??

I know this sounds simple, I tried to do a search, but none explained what this means.

I know its 1.8 Litre , but L4? .. 2BBL?

My car is a 1986 1.8L "Fuel Injected". (So I am thinking it doesnt have any carburators)

Anyway, someone explain , THANKS:)

are you sure it is fuel injected i think the first year you could get a fuel injected was 87. the L4 problly stands for lateral 4 cylinder just a guess

that's what you get when you are on a BAD parts website

 

mpfi was available in 86 xt

So where are you seeing this on your car?? You're right that the 1.8L is teh displacement, but L4 usually means an inline 4 cylinder, the Subaru engine is usually refered to as a H4, (H meaning horizontal), the 2BBL usually stands for 2 barrel carb.

First fuel injected Subie was '83 (I've got an '84 with a '83 supplement to the service manual just for fuely stuff) Gary

i have a 86 spfi fwd sedan , the motor has not been changed either , they made spfi in fwd sedans in 1986

Yup, 1983 Is when Subaru introduced the EA81T which came with MPFI.

And for the record. MPFI was available in 1985 for the EA82. XT's and 2wd auto sedans had it. But yes, the first issue was in the late '83 turbo EA81's.

 

And Corky's description of your question is dead on.

 

L4 in a 'roo. Not yet, but there is an L3.

I never heard an inline 4 referred to as an L4, an I4 yes but L4, that’s new to me. but I'm from the south so take that for what you will

If it sits lateral (transverse sitting sideways in the engine bay) it is a L4, if it is inline (sitting front to back in the engine bay), it is an I4, both are in-line, straight block engines.

Would that be a Justy?

indeed it would

 

 

 

I never knew that, I guess I learned something new today

YAY! another NC old skool'er!

1.8L =displacement

L4 = Laterally opposed - Some euro/aussie speak for what we call an H4, some even call them a "flat 4"

2BBl = 2 Barrel Carb, 2 barrels are strictly Hitachi.
