When I go from The EA82T in my car to the EA81 will the EA81's fuel pump pull through the pump in the tank, or will I need to swap to a carbed fule pick up?

If you are going to do the swap, please, please ,please don't waste a turbo car on it.. find yourself an SPFI car or carb car with a bad motor.

 

unless your car is thrashed, it just wouldn't be right to kill a turbo car for this, when there are so many more nonturbo cars out there just waiting to go to junkyards because of something stupid like a blown headgasket or something

My turbo car is ANYTHING but prime:( And it's all I got for a 4x4, and I just don't care for the complexity of EFI&Turbo W/water&oil cooling all on one engine, not to mention that it leaks oil like a sive, and springs a new water leak every month:banghead: And I am sick to deth of chasing FI problems all the time, I miss my carbs. I know that they don't work as well off road, but they do work.

I thought that the pump was in the tank, is the one on the under-side of the car the only one? If so then I have NO PROBLEMS:D

Hey Tony, the pump isn't in the tank. It's jes the one on the little bracket underneith. SPFI is a pretty good, but the problem is that his in an 85 (or is it an 86)? either way, it's a MAF system, and doesn't have the optical dizzy in it. The computer in the older EA82's is closer to the EA81T (in fact I think it has the same part number from Subaru).

the hose diameter will be larger than the fitting on the carby fuel pump. it will hold tight if you get a good clamp on there tohugh, i have done it like that on a turbo wagon to carb, and an spfi to carb, had no problems either way.

what are you doing with the old motor?

i could use the heads

cant you use the efi pump and just put a regulator on it, ant the carb? 2-3 lbs is stock for carb, right?
