ive got a 89 l series wagon with a ea82 carby with extractors and 2" exhaust. i was just wondering how much work is involved in swaping to a ea82 turbo.

thanks

First of All:

Next: You can search about that in this Site, using the "Search" button above, there are a Lot of Disscussion about it here, but I Think that is Better to Keep your EA82 Carbed like That, due to the Design of the Cams and it´s Pressure (No exactly the same in Turbo, Nor Manyfold, etc... ) but it´s Better to Change the Crappy Hitachi Carb, for a Weber... It Increases Power, (Specially at Low Range) and Acceleration, Top Speed, Etc... Along with Noise (I Love the Roar of my Weberized Wagon) but check the Emissions Restrictions in you Area First.

If you still wanna use a Turbo, maybe is Easier to Swap the Entire Engine, but in that case, (If I Could) I will Swap the EA engine, for a EJ engine... there are Adaptors for the Gearbox...

Well... Maybe another member can help you more about that... Anyway, Good Luck!

I Forget to ask you: What are the Extractors?

 

carbs suck, ditch the carb. get a SPFI setup, much better and fairly easy to install... iif you wannna go turbo, you have to at least swap the heads, manifold and computer stuff, kinda a hassle, so you might go EJ... a nicely modded ea82t will make the same power as a mostly stock ej22.:-\

kingbobdole is right, changing from EA82 to EA82t isn't really worth it. Putting in a EJ is. Although if you have a EA82t, or a free one in sight, have a look at the links in my post in this link http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?p=488686#post488686.
