May 7, 200619 yr We're putting a Weber32/36 electric choke in Hatchy's rig. We are ripping all the emission junk off, and plugging whatever. What to do with the fuel return line? How bout the crankcase breathers, put filters on the valve cover ports?
May 7, 200619 yr Use the fitting from the (or maybe anoter one from the junk yard - some don't have it) Hitachi on the Weber - that way the return line will hook up. Run the breathers to a T and into the weber filter. Same with the PCV valve. GD
May 8, 200619 yr Every weber filer I've seen does. Should be a 1/2" hole on the bottom of the filter, and a white or black plastic screw-in fitting. Go to a VW (import) shop and get another filter - they are like $10 with the element, and the covers and clips. Comes with the breather fittings. GD
May 8, 200619 yr Author No fitting on this one. Got breather filters from Schucks. Looks like mushroom filters hooked up to the hoses.
May 9, 200619 yr Author Found that 1/2" hole... oh well. Anybody ever have an offset issue with the adapter to the manifold? This one kinda overlaps foreward, and a little cocksided.
May 9, 200619 yr Found that 1/2" hole... oh well. Anybody ever have an offset issue with the adapter to the manifold? This one kinda overlaps foreward, and a little cocksided.The manifold is "cocksided"--the adapter fits straight on the manifold.
May 9, 200619 yr Author Yeah, I noticed... but the adaptor sits a little too foreward, good half inch.
May 9, 200619 yr Yeah, I noticed... but the adaptor sits a little too foreward, good half inch.Who's adapter did you get? Redline, EMPI, or homemade? Sadly it's normal for the weber's front left to just touch the ignition wire cap on the distributor. They seem to all do that with the Hitachi distributor; rumor has it that doesn't happen with the ND version.
May 9, 200619 yr Rumor has it that doesn't happen with the ND version. No rumor Ed - you want pics? Which car shall I take the pictures of? GD
May 9, 200619 yr i'd like to see pics!!! and because im a little slow id also like to know what ND is??
May 9, 200619 yr NipponDenso. The "other" manufacturer, besides Hitachi, of soob electrical bits. I'll get pics tommorow evening. GD
May 9, 200619 yr Hi! I have a Thread just about that, I hope it can Help; it got a lot of Pics, specially about plate adapter in EA82; See: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=53143 Good Luck!

May 9, 200619 yr does the nd one make more power?if not electrical tape on the part of carb that is near ignition works great..
May 10, 200619 yr does the nd one make more power?if not electrical tape on the part of carb that is near ignition works great.. Ghetto. If you really want the hitachi to work, rotate it a bit - have to slot out or relocate the mount tho. Or get a LOT of spacers to lift the Weber up out of the way. No more power - seals out water better tho. The cap seal is one peice instead of four. That and the Weber fitment are why I use them. But be ghetto if you must - I don't want pics tho. GD
May 13, 200619 yr Author OK, back again, the kit is from redline, motor is EA81, adaptor sits foreward and I can see half inch of manifold gasket surface, stick my finger in the hole and can feel alot of the rear adaptor surface. Have a few distys laying around.

Have a few distys laying around. Normal - grind on the adaptor if you like, but I've ground a few, and not ground others - doesn't seem to matter. If you are really up for a project - get an EA82 intake, and the adaptor for it. They flow better, and the adaptor fits a little better too. Sorry you bought the kit - I made that same mistake my first time. Such a rip off for what you get. GD
May 14, 200619 yr Author Hatchy's problem, I'm only installing it. Is the EA82 manifold direct bolt on?
May 15, 200619 yr Is the EA82 manifold direct bolt on? Yes and no. Check the link in my above post. Has most of the things needed done to install EA-82 manifold onto EA-81 along with a Weber.
