Finally got my engine running again...BIG THANKS to John in Eugene....The Subaru King! This would not have happened without his help....well definatly not as soon or with such good results. Thank you very much John....

 

I got the engine stuffed into the little hatch....it picks up and MOVES! I still have some minor things to work through, but that stuff will be pretty easy.

 

The next big thing on my plate is going to be the lift and tires. And i think that is going to happen real soon. Hopefully before the snow falls....

 

Anyway, im going to go play with the hatch some more....

 

*edit* I forgot to mention that i can break traction at all sides with the car in 4 low....on dry pavment....I love this engine

whats up with the engine?

what engine did you put in it?

 

Burnouts are fun, but i woulndt reccomend doing them on drypavement in 4-lo:burnout:

 

Sounds like itll be an awesome ride!!

Keep at it

It is one of those CCR engines. I bought it from Mudrat79(john). It came out of the Beast, his hatchback. It is a sick engine, lots of power.

 

I know it isn't good for it to burn out in 4 low, but i just had to test it out.....

most vehicles will spin them in 4low.. gear reductions and all, but whats special about CCR motors? high comp. cam? is it an ea81?

yes yes and yes

 

EA81 Brat cam, 1600 cc pistons, milled heads, webber carb...i know i am forgetting something....but yea, that is about the just of it.

 

I have yet to ride in or drive an ea81 with more punch than this one carries. I can't wait until the ea81T is in the driveway, it should be a good comparison....

more compression has to help alot with power and mileage, the 81brat cam is bigger?

sounds fun

I think john said the engine has 110 HP or something... thats only 5 shy of an EA82T

 

Brat cams = more torque as far as I understand

5 shy of a stock, no mod ea82t... but that would rock in an ea81. my 4x brat always seemed faster than my new 2x hatch
