March 21, 200719 yr hey all i need help what is the top speed for a stock na ea82 soob gl4x4 wagon i can his 84 with mine and it had a really tired engine im talkin like 280,000 miles so what you think a rebuilt one copuld do any info thanks guys ~~~rob:burnout:
March 21, 200719 yr Should be 65 since I think that's the speed limit in Washington. In all reality, probably 100 or so tops, I've never had an NA Subie even that fast...Except my 83 GL-10, it topped out at 107 but it took a LONG time to get there!
March 21, 200719 yr I took my GL-10 up to 102, and she still had five or so to go.. thats a 2wd, 3at NA SPFI 87 GL-10 sedan.
March 22, 200719 yr i had my brat up to 95 and it was still rolling up slowly. thats with a 4sp ea81, so a 5sp ea82 should be good for around 110 once you get rollin
March 22, 200719 yr I had my RX up to 95 and it was still pulling pretty well,i would say it would go to 110-115.
March 22, 200719 yr in my 86 EA82T wagon - with a stock engine and exhaust and with the air filter box chopped - I was driving up the steep side of the Columbia Basin at Vantage and took it up to 90 in 5th gear and had plenty more left.
March 22, 200719 yr back when i had the xt turbo 2wd i got it up to 112mph it still had some rpm left, ill never go that fast again though.
March 22, 200719 yr 2WD EA82 got a Better / Wider Distribuitor Advance Curve than 4WD ones, and without all the Smog Stuff, and the Weber, my EA82 does around 115 but it´s Extremly Scary! ... so I Just Tried its Maximum Speed Once...
March 23, 200719 yr Definitely have had a bunch of threads about this.... But with 30" mud tires on, SPFI, 97mph.
March 23, 200719 yr but it´s Extremly Scary! i think this statement hits the nail on the head. while think the car would mechanically top out at what would be quite a decent clip. the suspension on a 4wd wouldn't even be close to safe. on a side note i've had mine up to almost 97mph but it's not something i would do more then once.
March 23, 200719 yr '81 brat- 4 speed 96mph approx '87 RX - 114mph approx Also, the question is confusing.
March 23, 200719 yr I have a 3AT... so in that case I usually keep it at around 70. But... I've got mine up to 110... downhill, on I-15 coming out of Vegas... and it was revving really high... scared the crap out of me sorta And I've taken a DL 5-speed about 120... same hill on I-15
March 24, 200719 yr hmm, stock 88 GL, 5 spd, SPFI, about all I could a few weekends ago was 85 in 4th This was also at ~4500' elevation, with 50lbs of tools and 4 adults.
March 24, 200719 yr Given the gear ratio of a Turbo 5 speed, 3.700 final drive ratio and tire size of 185/70R13. here are the top speeds for each gear at 6500RPM Gear Ratio Top Speed @ 6500RPM 1st 3.545 34MPH 2nd 2.111 57MPH 3rd 1.448 81MPH 4th 1.088 111MPH 5th 0.871 139MPH N/A 5 speed final drive ratio of 3.900 tire size of 175/70R13 here are the top speeds for each gear at 6500RPM Gear Ratio Top Speed @ 6500RPM 1st 3.545 32MPH 2nd 1.947 58MPH 3rd 1.366 82MPH 4th 0.972 116MPH 5th 0.780 144MPH would never go that fast in an EA-82 but that is the limit of the engine and the gears... -=Suberdave=- www.suberdave.com
March 24, 200719 yr '93 Loyale, 3AT, flat ground - 90 MPH '93 Loyale, 5MT, down a hill - 96 MPH Neither were absolutely topped out, but I wouldn't want to push it.
March 24, 200719 yr Given the gear ratio of a Turbo 5 speed, 3.700 final drive ratio and tire size of 185/70R13. here are the top speeds for each gear at 6500RPM Gear Ratio Top Speed @ 6500RPM 1st 3.545 34MPH 2nd 2.111 57MPH 3rd 1.448 81MPH 4th 1.088 111MPH 5th 0.871 139MPH N/A 5 speed final drive ratio of 3.900 tire size of 175/70R13 here are the top speeds for each gear at 6500RPM Gear Ratio Top Speed @ 6500RPM 1st 3.545 32MPH 2nd 1.947 58MPH 3rd 1.366 82MPH 4th 0.972 116MPH 5th 0.780 144MPH would never go that fast in an EA-82 but that is the limit of the engine and the gears... -=Suberdave=- www.suberdave.com Not to mention that the wouldn't have the power to overcome the drag created by the aerodynamic properties of the car.
March 24, 200719 yr '93 Loyale, 3AT, flat ground - 90 MPH Neither were absolutely topped out, but I wouldn't want to push it. My 102 was in a SPFI 3at on flat, level ground.. and I know I still had another five I couldve gotten out of her. and THAT was with the aerodynamic restrictions of my rustbucket!!! (read: the two HUGE rustholes behind the rear quarter panel windows.. I can reach my arm into them, thru the speaker holes, and wave at you from inside the cabin while standing outside the car ) I should say that I *was* on a deserted toll road driving across the Florida Peninsula south of Lake Okeechobee (read: thru the everglades, FLAT flat ground) and I was also pulled over by a Florida Highway Patrolman about ten miles after I slowed down to 80 in a 70 zone... talk about a close call!
March 24, 200719 yr Author lol thanks guys yeah my wagon is pretty scary the 4x4 suspention is defenitly not made for those speeds all over the road(leagle place mind you) if any one has any lines on a nice rx or xt let me know thanks Rob:burnout:
