November 14, 200520 yr Whats the fastest someone has taken there stock 87 GL non turbo, FI, 2WD, EA82, 5-speed
November 14, 200520 yr 70, as that is the highest speed limit in my area. If you've gone faster we don't want to know about it, falls under the same umbrella as street racing and tresspassing when you offroad.
November 14, 200520 yr Author i dont mean speeding or anything like that, i mean, like maybe someone has taken it on a track or something.
November 14, 200520 yr 85 is about as fast as I'd like to go in the RX on a daily basis. Anything higher and my wallet seems to suffor. I did have it up to 97 on a downhill stretch comming home from Reno one night. -Brian
November 14, 200520 yr i dont mean speeding or anything like that, i mean, like maybe someone has taken it on a track or something. I've never been to a track, so i can't help you there, sorry. i do know that my 88 DL 4wd didn't like anything much above 70 anyway. those wagon bodys are bricks.
November 14, 200520 yr I know it's not quite the same car, but the fastest I ever had my 86 4wd carbed EA82 with free-er flowing intake and exhaust was 95.
November 14, 200520 yr about 160kph in my duel carb Brumby. I have M/T tyres now, so I am limited to 120kph. I would think a turbo EA82 should do about 105mph But I don't really know.
November 14, 200520 yr I had my carbed 81 wagon up to 105 chasing my brother on his street bike, took me a long while to get there, about 3 miles to the floor and finally got there, talk about taching a motor out!!! Also i had my 84 GL10 turbo up to 130 coming back from the mountain, started on down hill but leveled out for about 2 miles and checked by way of GPS, havn't gone that fast again, don't know if it's to smart anyway. I swear that thing has more power than it should! ~CHIM~

November 14, 200520 yr I managed to get up to about 95 once between Las Vegas and Barstow, but I was getting a lot of help from the Mercedes I was drafting. I've always been impressed with the engineering on Subarus, but I never could figure out why they bothered to put a 125 MPH speedo in them...
November 14, 200520 yr I would think a turbo EA82 should do about 105mph But I don't really know. Not trying to hi-jack the thread here but a EA82 Turbo in good condition is capable of doing WELL over 105mph. As for your non-turbo stock EA82 SPFI. If it is truely stock, tires and everything, I would highly recommend not going more than 100mph, even on a track. Now with tire and suspension upgrades, on a track, I would feel comfortable seeing if i could get that spfi motor up to 120.. a 5spd in good condition should be perfectly capable of it.
February 16, 200620 yr 86 gl 4x4 carb wagon 5pseed single range. 105 downhill. didnt feel to bad.....
February 16, 200620 yr My N/T SPFI wagon has 29's on it and gets up to 80 on the spedo.... last time I was stopped in it the cop said I was going 71 when I thought I was doing 55ish. My fwd XT6 maxxes out at 140:burnout: -------------------------------- ~Phil Only lowered FWD 5-speed XT-6 evAR 1987 Lifted "outback" Wagon 84 lifted BRAT kinda for sale Gen 1:32 "and on the end of the sixth day, God created signatures. And God saw that it was good."
February 16, 200620 yr My fwd XT6 maxxes out at 140:burnout: 140? Hm. My FWD XT6 seemed to top out at about 125~130. Much better than my Toyota I had before the XT6, maxed out at 110 (which was also redline in 5th gear).
February 16, 200620 yr well in my N/A ea81 wagon that only likes to run on 3 cylinders alot, I've had that thing up to around 90-95 I think(redline in 4th gear, 4mt)... and still pulling but not nuf gears. although I know they aint subarus... but i've had my 93 jeep cherokee when it was stock with the 4.0L motor up to around 150 when it hit the rev limiter, and my nissan 720 maxxed out on a steep downgrade at about 90mph(thing doesnt have ANYTHING above 45mph, thanks to 322k miles on original engine.. )
February 16, 200620 yr Friend's '93 Loyale on studded snows--95MPH uphill (okay, it was down a steep hill, then up the other side) Plus, he was steering with his teeth. (It was fun as heck, but don't try it.)
February 16, 200620 yr Oh yeah--128MPH in my other friend's '92 Legacy with NO exhaust! We could have gone faster, were it not for the pounding headaches we both had.
February 16, 200620 yr 93 loyale- 5spd 2wd 110 miles, 1hr 7 minutes. With two toll booths in between.... Hard tellin. I was just following the car in front of me!:cool:
