silo118 Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 No you can't just change the intake and the exhoust. The pistons are a dish type, to compinsate for the force feeding of the turbo. You would have to pull the heads off, then pull the pistons, and replace them with the stock non turbo pistons. If you are interested in a EA81 i have one and am willing to sell it for 450 its a good used one. email me at silo118@hotmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigwhite4x4 Posted January 24, 2009 Author Share Posted January 24, 2009 what would it take to put the ea81t in my car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silo118 Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 To do a transplant you would need a bigger radiator, oil cooler, not to mention the computer system, and full wiring harness, it is all doable, just depends on how much time you want to put into it. I just built a ea81t for a brat, i hope to plumb it into the car by next friday. Yesterday i did a head gasket job on a ea82 and had it back in the car that same night, and delivered it to the costumer at 8 oclock this morning. I personally believe subarus are by far the easiest vehicles to work on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subaruguru Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 if its anything like an ea82 turbo you can swap all the turbo stuff with your NA stuff and it should work fine it did on my ea82 i did have to swap the heads from my na motor as the turbo heads are duel port intake and the na is single port intake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silo118 Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 do you still have the ea82 turbo model heads?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abog Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 The turbo engines have lower compression ( not sure of the numbers off the top of my head ), when used in a non turbo setting would definitely be lacking power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And get yourself a real turbo engine. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
