Does anyone have torque curves for the stock EA81 and EJ22? I'm swapping a different engine into my '82 GL wagon, which I understand is rated stock for about 90 some ft lbs at 2400rpm. The EJ22 is rated at 137 ft lbs (for an early one) at 4,800rpm from what I can gather. The engine I'm going to swap in is rated the same 73 horsepower as the EA81, but is specced at 130 ft lbs at 1800 rpm. I want to know how that compares to the torque from the EA81 and EJ22 at 1800 rpm, because that's more the speed I'm going offroading. I suspect it might be more than even the EJ22 at that rpm, which I'd love (having driven some EJ22 conversions), but I'm not sure because it seems to be hard to find full torque vs rpm curves. What can an EA81 or a EJ22 give at say 1500 or 2000 rpm, compared to the peak torque that is published for them?

A guy I know dyno'd a stock EA81. Heres the resualts

bostig.com has dyno results comparing a the EJ22 with another motor ...you will have to search there web site if you are not familiar with it

To save you all trying to log into that site here is the pictures you are after

 

EJ22

This is on 30.5" Mud terrains in a Vanagon (what type of trans do they use?)

Not perfect by any means, but nice to see.

 

EA81

This is on stock 22.5" tyres

 

 

 

Pitty they are two different types of dyno'ing. But you can sort of compare them.

The engine I'm going to swap in is rated the same 73 horsepower as the EA81, but is specced at 130 ft lbs at 1800 rpm.

 

ok...what diesel have you found that will fit?.......(please let it be a diesel)...
