Loyale 2.7 Turbo

As you can see, their interior were inmaculate. So, when I finished Polishing, I remembered those LED lights stored in the Shed, and said to myself: "Why Not?" ... So I Cracked their Housings and Removed the LED's plastic stripe and its Wiring, figuring out a way to adapt it inside the Headlamps... In Honduras Daylight running Lamps are only required legally during Rainstorms, otherwise is not needed to drive with the Lights "On" during Daytimes.

So, a year ago, one night I removed both Headlamps and Disassembled them, in order to Clean & Polish their polycarbonate Lenses ... ... as you can See:

Long Time Ago, my Father gave me as Birthday Gift, a pair of Good Quality Daylight Running Lights, each set had Eight SMD High Power Output LED Lights in 5000K temperature colour; they came in Plastic housing, shaped as Thin and Wide Halogens. I had no use for them, 'till I noticed that the HeadLamps' Polycarbonate lens were Yellowish, not only from outside but from the Inside ... ... and I had to disassemble them in order to Polish and clean them from inside out.

So, I opened a Second Photobucket Account ... ... I'll Post some Photos with Other Mods I've done. Kind Regards.

Lately, I've seen Many Huge Korean cars around the Town; like the Hyundai Equus, or the Kia Quoris. By the Way, the Kia Quoris is based on the Huge K9 Platform, Do not confuse it with the Kia Cadenza which is Built on the Smaller K7 Platform. Kind Regards. ► Edit: Underlined words are Web Links for further info.

In my Case, I've Always dreamt about a 4" Lifted EA81 Subaru Hatchback, with a Carburated + Disty EJ22 + EJ Dual Range Transmission... (LADM Specs - Click Here for more info) ...I don't need a Huge Monster Beast to take my Family on a Weekend Mountain Travel Adventure, so That will be Enough for Me. Gotta Love the Small Size of a Hatchback, Plus the EJ Drivetrain, rolling Huge Tires...

I Believe that the Weird painted Wagon was: ► Painted by Someone who Hated it and had Lots of Paints' Leftovers, or ► The owner let a Bunch of Children to have fun with it, painting it in such weird way; or ► It is used by Clowns = Looks like a -cheap- Circus came to Town... No offence intended, but is my own personal opinion: I Don't Like such paint job... Poor Subie... Kind Regards.

If all those has the Same 2.0L FB engine, the difference should be due to Different Body Weight. Kind Regards.

You're Welcome! Well, All those Webers are Sold in USA "For Racing or Offroading Purposes Only" due to Smog, pollution and other Legal Regulations that vary from State to State in USA, so They're Not "Street Legal" on certain areas and that statement shall be placed on all brand new Weber Carbs, due to said Legal Regulations. But that doesn't mean that you have a Synchronous 38/38 DGAS Weber, if you want to be Sure, just take a look at the Linkage between both Stages, behind the acceleration plate: If Both Butterflies moves at the same time, all the time the Throttle position moves, it is a 38/38 DGAS (or bigger numbered, like the 48, etc...), But if one stage opens after the other have reached already half way open, then it is a Progressive Weber, such like the popular 32/36 DEGV. The Synchronous Webers, such like the 38/38 DGAS are more used to Racing purposes due to the Higher Fuel usage (Both Huge Jets at the Same Time), and thus means that if you use a Car with such kind of carb as daily driver, it will be a Gas guzzler, compared to the Progressive Webers, like the 32/36 where you commute with only one stage (with Small Jetting), usually; and the High stage (with Bigger Jetting) is used during deep acceleration only. Kind Regards.

I've learned a Lot all across these years, I Paid my university Studies by Fixing Cars and despite that since I have a Non-Mechanic Job nowadays, I Still wrench almost daily, after Job, fixing someone else's cars for extra income; but I have made Mistakes too... Recently I posted some rear strut info Backwards, and very Kindly, Gloyale corrected me remembering that the spring perch is taller on a 2wd model... ( Many Thanks, Gloyale ) ... I Admit my mistakes (and also I fix them) and I always try to do my Best to post only accurate information on the Forums. Usually I only post info on Subjects that I Really Know, Understand, and from my Own experiences; so I know is true and accurate... also I take many Photos of almost every Job I do, so I can Share them with the Newbies on this forums. So very Kindly let me state this: if Everybody is telling that you are Wrong, it should be true; especially if the info comes from people who has done that Swap Jobs; "Being There, Done That" real life experiences, also according to mechanic literature, you know... So very Respectfully I Suggest that Posters should inform themselves in a better way, before spreading wrong info on the forums... and even worse: Insisting that the Wrong Info is Right. ______________________________________________________________________ Back to Topic, Does the Origial Poster still have troubles with his Weber Swap? Please give us Feedback. Kind Regards.

Hey guys, calm down... ...Relax. As Old School Subaru Enthusiast and Mechanic, I've done many Weber Swaps on EA82's from Local people, also in this Many, Many Years that I have the Great Honor of Being part of this Subaru Club and the Awesome Comunity here, I've seen Tons of Photos of Weber Swaps and all of them Looks like This: The Reason is that there are two banks of Cylinder, one each side and the Right Fuel + Air Mixture shall be Distribuited Equally Side to Side, and thus mean the Longitudinal Orientation of the Weber Carb, so Both Stages will point to the Middle (Center) of the intake Manifold. Otherwise, in a Transversal orientation, the Low Stage of the Weber will be Closer to one Bank of Cylinders and Far from the Other, while the Other Stage will be Closer to the Other... Viceversa. Thus means a Problem using Progresive Webers (as the 32/36 DGEV) which are the Popular design widely used; not really a Problem using Synchronous Webers. (Such as the 38/38 DGAS) but those last ones aren't intended for street driving, only for racing and are scarse. So Please stop alleging about if the Weber should be Longitudinally Mounted, or Traverse Mounted, because it only confuses the Newbies; the correct info has been posted here already and is posted again above. Period

I'm not Sure, but I bet it is a Sequential 32/36 DEGV Weber Carb, not the Synchronous 38/38 DGAS. This Car belongs to another USMB Member, maybe he post more info about that, here. Kind Regards.

You know... One Side and its pair of Cylinders, is more Forward than the Other Side and its Pair of Cylinders; (To allow space side by side on the Crank for the connecting rods) that is the Reason why the intake has that Angle.

Back on Topic, during all this Decades being an Old-School Subaru enthusiast and Mechanic, I've seen only One (1) Subaru EA engine, with a Sideways mounted Weber Carburator; by the way, it is a Custom Made intake manifold; I saved a Photo of that engine on its engine bay, for your Viewing Pleasure:

I know it is off-topic, but in order to share information: Photos of the 1983 Subaru RX "Safari Rally" Version: But a Year before that (1982) Subaru Sold their first EA81 Turbo EFi for JDM, Look the Backwards Stencil "Turbo" on purpose, Under the Front Bumper: I've seen very Few of those Turbo EA81 Sedans in Honduras. Then Subaru Sold the Turbo Worldwide since 1983: Also the Turbo Mood took Subaru to even sell the Tiny Subaru Rex (a 3/4 Scale Justy with only two Cylinders - Very Popular in LADM -Latin American Domestic Market-) With Turbo; in other markets is Known as Subaru Sherpa and later as Fiori: So, no more Subaru Carburated engines for racing development since then. All this info and Photos are taken from the Legendary Thread: "Strange & Weird Subaru Stuff" Which have Much more... Kind Regards.

Subaru Built (one year only - 1982) a Race Version of the EA81S for the Safari Rally RX, which came factory with reversed valves (As the Twin hitachi carb on intake version) also came factory with two Weber Carbs, each bolted directly to each Head. But Subaru already had the Turbo EFi setup (Started to Sell in Japan in 1982, worldwide in 1983) so they Dismissed that Twin Weber carb setup for production vehicles, in favor of the Turbo EFi setup. Kind Regards.

No Problem. I Know the Fuel Injection is a Far Superior and Modern Technology than Carburators, but if you want to Upgrade a Carburated EA Engine, you have two ways: ► One is Keep it Simple, even Simpler than Stock, by installing a Weber Carb, which also allows to remove tons of stuff from the engine bay. ► Other way is more Complicated, by retrofitting the Fuel Injection intake manifold and all the Wiring related to it, ECU, etc... Both ways will improve the Performance of the EA engines that came factory with stock Carburators for Sure. My personal vote is Always for the Weber, because three factors: one is the Honduran Climate is very stable and only goes from Warm to Cool, it is Never too Hot nor too cold; the other factor is that I Really Love to see Clean and organized engine Bays, the Less Stuff - The Better for me; and the Last Factor is the Huge and Bold Boxer Engine Roar that comes from a Weber Carb's throat under full Acceleration... is Priceless! ... and Louder than a Horn for sure Kind Regards.

~► http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/71510-ideas-on-swaping-a-weber-carb-on-ea82%C2%B4s/ This Writeup is for an EA82, but is almost equal to the EA81, the main difference is the Adapter Plate. Kind Regards.

Years ago, I saw a first gen FWD Legacy with an EA82... So, Why not an EA81 Impreza? It might be a Good commuter vehicle... and a Sluggish Econobox for sure. Kind Regards.

Hey! ... I am the Guy who wrote that Writeup and Shoot all those Photos, and very Respectfully and Kindly, let me Tell you that You're Wrong once again, in two things, First: I do not Live in oz, I Live in Honduras, Central America (Between Caribbean Sea & Pacific Ocean) Second: The Weber Carb I Mounted on my Subaru "BumbleBeast", is Not Sideways at all. Kind Regards.

Beautiful, Beyond Awesome! It Looks like Ronald Reagan's restored Brat in a Museum. Kind Regards.

I Agree that seems like an EA82 could run Forever if you care about it. About Cooling System, yes there was an "Upgrade" somehow, let me Explain, there are Single Row and Double Row Radiators for the EA82, if yours run with a Single Row Radiator, you can Swap it with a Double Row one and it will increase the Cooling capabilities of the System. Kind Regards.

This Project is Awesome, I Like it! Can't wait to see it Finished and Running. Kind Regards.

O.K. ... if I had the info Backwards, I will Fix my Writeup and posts about Rear Suspension's Shock Absorbers on EA82's, I'm So sorry about that, but Somehow I'll Like to see Photos from other Members, like this: Kind Regards.

If there's a Wire that prevents the engine from running, it must be some sort of Fuel cutting circuit, maybe to work like a Fuel Cutting solenoid present on some Carbs; it worth try to run the engine without that wire as Leeroy Suggested. Also I Agree with all the posters above about the Orientation of the Weber Carb, it Looks Fine for me too. I was about to suggest to try running the engine with the Fuel Pump Directly connected to 12V + Power source, bypassing the Car's wiring for a while, in order to see if that way the engine Keeps running. Kind Regards.
