Hi everybody

I have just acquired an 86 GL-10 wagon. turbo automatic 2x4.

 

I need to know how to id the engine -- 1.6 or 1.8? Need fan belts and have no clue what to get. also what is ea82 etc?

 

I know stupid questions but I am a real newbie here.

 

Thanks!

You have an EA82T ('T' designates "turbo"). All EA82's are 1.8's. Verry important that you remember the turbo part - the belts are different.

 

"EA82" is just the name given to the engine by Subaru. It has no meaning beyond that as far as I know.

 

As long as you specify an 86 GL-10 Turbo when buying parts, you'll get what you need. There's no such thing as a 1.6L on the EA82 cars, so that shouldn't be a problem.

Thanks GeneralDisorder !

I went to get new fan belts today and the guy asked what engine --1.6 or 1.8 guess he didn't know what he was doing huh?

 

Thanks

He doesn't know subaru's is all. The 86 model year did include a 1.6L model - the STD Hatchback. But it's not a Wagon, not turbo, not a GL-10, and not even close to looking the same. He was just repeating what was on his screen in the computer I suppose. Can't blame him really - I would probably do the same thing when confronted with a GM or Ford question.

 

The 1.6L engine is the EA71. The EA81 is the Overhead Valve version of the 1.8, and yours is the Overhead Cam 1.8 with turbo.
