You have an oddball attachment on the sparkplug wire.

its just an inline spark checker

The fuel/vapor separtor is new to me.

Which 71's had the offset starter?

Is this a "fatcase"??

EA71

UUm all the spark plugs wires are hooked up to... not the spark plugs, you dont have an air filter, you are missing your turbos, someone stole your intercooler, your "I love dirt" sticker fell off the fender, Your hood is invisable, someone jacked your webber and put a hitachi in when you werent looking, :confused: I'm comfused. Did I win?

i got it , NO rust

Yep -all EA71's made after 82 I think had the offset starter, EA81 bell-housing. They made the EA71 till 89 when the STD Hatch was finally laid to rest. Any of the mid to later 80's EA71's were like this, they are just very rare as they only came in STD Hatchbacks - everything else had the EA81.

 

The "fat case" refers to the later EA71's that had the same case dimensions as the EA81 with regards to the intake manifold. At least that's what I've gleaned on the subject. I think that either of the bell-housings can be bolted to the "fat-case" but it would seem likely that they were side-starter. There were also EA71's made with hydro lifters although I've never been able to confirm if they were imported to the US or not.

 

It's difficult to determine some of this stuff as a single example really doesn't tell much - often the engines have been replaced with the popular "JDM" import engines. I've noticed that the JDM engines have japanese writing on the "do not adjust" valve cover stickers while the USDM ones do not. I've seen an '82 wagon with a hydro lifter engine that had these oddball stickers with the japanese writing, and in smaller english print they said "do not adjust" etc.

The engine bay is too clean? Not enough oil residue.

i see the offset starter, so possibly the transmission AND motor are off a later model.

 

also by design of the water pump this is a fat case motor as well
