GeneralDisorder Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 do you have the EA71 ot the EA81 for an engine? There's no difference - 71 and 81 use the same adaptor. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caboobaroo Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 O_O I WANT IT!! Ok, for the EA71, it needs to be rejetted because of the jets being too big for the engine. Now if it was the high compression JDM EA71 that came in the FE coupes, then the 32/36 will work better. As far as the Weber 32/36 being the same as one from a 2.3 Pinto, they look similar since both are made by Weber (the Pinto one has "Holley Made by Weber" stamped on the side of it, they are however NOT the same. The barrels on an actual Weber are much much larger then the Holley version. General Disorder and I went over this one evening at his house while we were comparing them side by side.

Caboobaroo Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Your engine has ONE cam. The EA81 has ONE cam. The EA82 has TWO cams. The EJ25 DOHC has FOUR cams... Swap in an EJ. Much easier, simpler and a lot less expensive, especially when you blow your third engine. I had 3 engines in my RX and went through ALL of them. The EA71 is reliable stock or with a mild P-n-P and a slightly larger cam but thats about it. If you go with any sort of an EJ, there are performance parts out the wazoo including pistons that won't break the bank, aftermarket rods, better heads and cams and so on. If you wanna put your life savings into an EA71 just to blow it the first time you get a lead foot, just to rebuild it again in 100 miles, be my guest. You can easily put half of what you're wanting to spend into an EJ and have more power and more reliability then the monster of an engine you're thinking about. Or find yourself an EA71 from a late 70's FE and put it in there with a Weber. I had that engine (higher compression) and a Holley 5200 with an electronic disty from a 2wd EA81 and it would smoke the rear tires in my '78 Brat forever.

GeneralDisorder Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 You still won't make as much power as an EJ. Delta cam does EA81/EA71 cams for $75. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zefy Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 and what exactly are you getting done to the pistons? they are already flat top pistons... you gonna get domed pistons? you're already running 10:1 (or 9.5:1) compression... getting more from the pistons is gonna be hard... milling the heads down would work until your intake manifold stops fitting... and if you're making a custom intake make sure you get rid of (bypass) that coolant line running through the intake... power sucker that one is... (makes for better cold starts from what i've heard though) good luck on this... and don't be sad when a civic is still faster than you...:-p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
