What kind of injectors are you using now?

I wouldn't use the stock head unit period. It puts out about 4 watts total power. A basic cd player is inexpensive and you will notice a difference.

Would it hurt to tell the rest of us?

I'm up here during the school year. Highland Dr.

Hp=(torque x rpm)/5252 They have to otherwise they are misleading numbers.

Send Wagonpowaa a PM to get his attention. He's not on very often these days, but he has a system in his brat. Nice head unit, 4x6 in the dash, 6x9s behind the seats with ford speakers in the bed and an amp powering it all.

Well, I know you can still get EA81 2WD GR2s, but I was thinking more along the lines of Koni Yellows or Bilstiens... Anyone using strut cartrages? Custom valves stock shocks?

Ok, so what manufacturer makes an LSD for the front of an EA82 transmission?

My question is what kind of driving did that guy have to do to exert hat much force all the time? I would be willing to bet lots of burnouts and racing did that, not offroading or plain old daily driving.

Erik, I tried to send you a private message, but your inbox was full. Please get in touch as I have the perfect motor for you!

Send your stock heads out to get them ported, thats about the best you can do.

Still haven't heard back from Clutchnet yet...

The answer to this one is easy. I can't afford an EJ! HAHAHA

The thermostat might not be opening, so try replacing that and giving the cooling system a good back flush. Did you try adjusting the dash pot and checking the other inputs for the FI system?

In a few months I'll be going RWD, so we'll see how the 5spd DR holds up in an EA81T.

I'll second the tune up. Also check the adjustment on the throttle stop and the dash pot. These may be out of adjustment and be throwing the idle off. Also check the air temperature sensor and the coolant temp sensor. I could think of more, but I'm trying to walk out the door!

We tend to use the good ole 32/36 DGV series, but others have tried 38/38s and even four bbl Holleys.

Well, I've just been over the Clutchnet.com, and in their online catalog they have no listing for any EA series cars. This sucks, my clutch is slipping and I want a performance replacement! I sent them an email to see if they still carry them and I'll let everyone know what I find out.

Here are some pics, just because I had them.

Ross, are you sure they are the same? I have heard from some sources that they are the same, and from others that they use different injectors. Have you looked at both side by side to make sure? Has anyone flow tested an EA81T injector? I have a few spare ones sitting in the garage.

Just wanted to add some more observations that I've had since driving the car in more conditions. When trying to drift in gravel, it is harder to rotate the car with the new VLSD. However, when I was driving on mostly flat, snow covered roads last night, the car was a willing partner! Easy to get sliding and even easier to control. This is because I can easily spin the tires in snow as opposed to high speeds in gravel.

I would only suggest having a professional work on your turbo. It spins VERY quickly and if any of the moving parts are out of balence, the whole thing can self destruct. Just my two cents.

Well guys, I finally got to drive the car in the snow. Like All Talk said, the car is harder to rotate, but now, when it starts slipping or is on the edge of slipping, the car is very grippy and will go anywhere I point it! It is VERY smooth, I can't even tell it is kicking in except that it will drive through anything. A few days ago I drove up a forest service road, almost slid off (because of lack of traction, not goofing off), but chains saved me. This was with the open diff. With the new diff and no chains I drove until I was almost bottoming out on snow, so I turned around. I drove probably 4 miles further than I did with just chains and 4WD. If you have one of these sitting around, PUT IT IN!!! You won't regret it! Oh and it has the same spline count as a normally asperated EA81/82, not the turbo ones, so I will fit in any old sube.

Well after having this diff sitting in my garage all autumn, I finally got around to filling it with Redline fluid and installing it in my wagon. Haven't had a chance to test it out in the snow, but I did do some standing starts in gravel and so far it launches very hard, but the car is harder to rotate now in the slick stuff. I'll be going up to work at Snoqualmie Pass tomorrow (Where it dumped this morning), and I'll post back with the results compaired to the open one. By the way, this is a 3.900 VLSD from a 91 Legacy SS and it bolted into my car without any problems.

A few years ago I did a retro fit on my 84 wagon. It was pretty easy actually. Here are some pics: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/data/500/18DSC00753-med.JPG http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/data/500/18DSC00754-med.JPG
