MSSLGECKO Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 1 - purchase a new CCR 1.8T (EA81 or EA82 - whichever is easier for this) 2 - install it in my '84 Brat (I don't have a wiring harness, computer, or anything else) I want to turn my Brat into a RallyX monster w/ a little more hight on the suspension and taller wheels, but the engine really doesn't seem up to it. I would like to retain the reliability of my Brat. Let me know if this is my worst (and only) idea all day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudrat79 Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Morning Noah.... If it were Me.....Buy a mudrat special from CCR..... Ea-81 Motor with 1600 pistons, Brat cam, and Heads decked .020...... Then Gut the Exhaust...and Stick a Weber on it...... Doing these 3 things together will give you a rough 110-115 HP motor...... and It will be just as reliable as a Stock engine....as long as you don't overheat it..... Did you ever get the Wagon squared away...? I still have parts here for you......Sorry, It's gotten very crazy here with Show So soon, aand Going to work for the Dealer..... Talk soon, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSSLGECKO Posted July 11, 2005 Author Share Posted July 11, 2005 I like it . . . sounds like a good build. Any idea how much that would run me? I'm actually thinking that it might be smarter for my budget to go w/a used engine. How much are JDM engines? [Where do you get them?] As for the wagon, John, I am about to take the necessary parts over to tailgatewagon. He has offered to help me make the 5SPD XMember fit by taking the parts i need adjusted to his shop. I am still not quite sure what you had up your sleeve for the fix, but if it's a better route to go . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
