February 6, 200620 yr If you've got an 87, it's probably got SPFI (single point fuel injection, also known as throttle body injection). Converting to a Weber carb wouldn't gain you anything. If you've got a carb, a 32/36 will give you a little better throttle response off the line and might slightly improve your mileage.

The pics show it to be SPFI - and you do NOT want to go carb - that entails continuous adjustments of the engine - not to mention that it will hurt your fuel mileage, and probably cause you endless grief going through the state vehicle inspection - actually it is against the law, because you would be removing federally mandated emissions equipment stick with FI, and just be careful around water

February 9, 200620 yr Tyler, I am sure that quite a few of the preceding posts have been a bit confusing. My suggestion to you would be to go to your local parts yard, the one in Lynnwood seems to get a lot of press on this board from the locals. Once there, just start taking a good look at the mechanicals of the 2wd and 4wd drive subarus of the same year ( Or a range that makes sense, ie: all ea82 cars). Doing this will give you a couple of good "ah ha" moments. Changing from 2 to 4 wd isn't hard and taking the parts off the of donor car yourself or with your helpers will get you familiar with the procedure. In fact you could do the entire switch at the yard first before tackling your car if you really want to be careful. Attn others: Will he have to get a new fuel tank or is that only for the ea81 switchero? Jay
