Can some youguys help me fill this out? Its for an 1987 GL hatch, 1.8L, 2WD. Non-turbo.

OHC/OHV, 4 headlights or 2, FI or Carb, any one of those will tell us what we need to know. Subaru made 2 body styles with a hatchback in 1987.

um not sure about the OHV or OHC, all i know its a 4 cylinder 1.8 L boxer, 2 headlights, FI,

Much of this info can be found in the back of the owners' manual. Unfortunately I don't have one handy.

also, i don't have one:banghead:

 

The chilton's manual actually has tables of much of this info.

Engine specs from this page: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/80s/specs/mechanical/engine-specs.html

 

1781cc, 90hp@5600rpm, 101tq@2800rpm

(listed under 86-94 SPFI)

Location would obviously be front, layout flat 4

 

From the 1988 owners manual, should be the same as 87:

Compression ratio 9.5:1

Redline 6500rpm

 

Gear ratios:

1: 3.636

2: 1.950

3: 1.344

4: 0.971

5: 0.783

R: 3.583

Final: 3.900:1

 

Front wheel drive 5 speed manual of course.

 

Weight: take it to a truck stop.

 

Weight distribution: your guess is as good as mine. Heavier in the front than the rear, but no idea as to ratio.

 

Wheelbase: 97.2in

 

Tire section width: Check the first number on the tire size. Stock is 175mm.

 

Wheel diameter: 13"

 

Tire profile: Check the second number on the tire size. Stock is 70% of 175mm, or a "70" profile.

 

Coefficient of drag: lots. Something like .45 I believe, don't quote me on that.

 

Height: 51.8in

 

Width: 65.4in

 

Ground clearance: 5.1in

 

 

 

 

 

You owe me a beer for this. :drunk:
