So what is the fastest EA82 vehicle there has ever been...engine swaps...mods....whos heard of one with the most horsepower? Am also curious if anyone has ever researched into the possibility of swapping a 2000 series turbo'd motor into an 87 4wd....was thinking about doing an EJ swap in the fairly near future but why take the time and money for a little 130-145 HP motor when with a bit of extra cash and a deal more time...can get a good start at around 200hp or more. any suggestions, ideas?

I can do 0-60 in under five (minutes) and eventually get up to 85 mph.

I read a while back on here about one guy in the land of oz (i think) that was at near 300hp on an ea82... chrom piston rings, head work, bigger valves etc... in the states... mabey tex its faster than mine, i hate to say

I dont count?

 

At the wheels....

 

 

Not as much as the guy in Auz...but still.....good.

 

Thats about 240hp/320tq at the crank.

I take it you still havent solved the overflow door psi issue? From the looks of the graph it is still opening when you dont want it to. All that roller coaster stuff at the end is an obvious air/fuel ratio problem, which is most likely being caused by the system losing pressure.

 

Good luck on it Will.

dam your fast, my time is more like 0-60 in under 10 minutes, and down hill i can hit 75!...... thats pretty impressive WJM

Are we talking an older soob with a worked ea82t or an ej20t conversion?

in Aust..

One guy ....88 wagon, 93 JDM EJ20T (TDO5H), his starting point is 185 FW kw

 

there was another that has a really WORKED ea82t in a rx sedan, i think it had 260hp (dont quote me on that)

 

I will check these

k keep searching and let me know....trying to start planning...have been looking into EJ25T but cant seem to find anyone that has swapped one into an EA82....really think that will be the best route to go to blow everyone away eventually.

USDM EJ257 STi drivetrain in an EA82 (A10/A11) car would be absolute insanity.

yeah...insanity...thats what im going for....even if over the course of a couple years I end up spening about as much as it would cost to just buy like an outback sport or imp or something with just as much power.....will still be spread out more and the end result will be pretty head-turning. I remember someone saying why would you want to do this.........well why did anyone ever want to stop walking everywhere and eventually invent cars and such..cause they wanted to friggin go faster, and most of all...be different. I figure if in the end my 87 originally carbed subaru dreaming of 100hp tears up the trails around 250-300hp I will have a big friggin smile on my face...probably dream about it every night....and get a grin on my face every time some little civic or mustang or whatever pulls up next to me and I leave them in my dust.........really seems worth it to me. *shrugs*

dude the er27 is so much faster yesterday i beat some guy on a riding lawn mower he caught me after a mile but i beat him off the line boy was he pissed

lmfao!!! ahh i bet my lawn mower can take you, i have a custom hood scoop, easy 15 extra horse power

not sure let's meet and prove it

My EA82 is pretty quick *shrug*

So how much power can you put into a EA82 drivetrain before it breaks?

Rally teams put 450 to them.....

 

I've not broken mine yet....over 100 hard launches on race tires on hot dry pavement....*shrug*

i continualy seem to blow up transmissions in my car i am on my 4th... i drive them hard, one went because i ran it in rwd drive though...

Weird....you must be a 'bad driver' then... :-p

 

I am REALLY hard on the current RX transmission....its original from what i can tell with 191k miles on it.

how fast have you ran yours calebz?

saw one on ebay a couple of weeks, motor and six speed gearbox. yes that would be absolute insanity. put that in a hatch and see what all those little hondas think
