Single Point Fuel Injection on a ea81
bratman18 replied to thermalsurfing1's topic in Subaru Retrofitting
Do a search. There are write ups on this. Basically it's easy to bolt on the intake etc. but then of course it gets a little more complicated with the wiring. You have to wire in the computer for the SPFI, which means you have to basically build a harness that combines the EA81 and EA82! Search for it and you should find plenty of info! I love mine!! -
Try automotivetouchup.com I have dealt with them a few times and they have a lot of factory paint colors
-
My opinion is to find a good EA81 with a 4spd dual range hooked to it from a 2nd generation car and swap it all in! That would solve the problem of turning bigger tires!!
-
they all fit on the hub but there is a certain style that needs special tires. Instead of a 15" it is a weird measurement(I can't remember exactly) Just make sure you look at the wheels and if they have a mm measurement than they are the ones that aren't worth having.

NAPA is the only one that has gotten it right for me

honestly the rear diff is usually forgotten and I've seen many that have close to 300,000 on them and never been checked. I have only seen one ever go bad, and that was one that was rebuilt by someone that shouldn't have been touching a car! The front diffs probably should get checked. There's a dipstick to check the level, so its easy. And There would be a lot more wear on the front IMO. But if you don't see any leakage, they are probably just fine!

Some wheel switching on the '82 wagons

I don't see them either -
Looking at a used 5spd D/R, what to check?
bratman18 replied to lostinthe202's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
That's pretty much it......there shouldn't be any input shaft play, or very little! Make sure all the plugs and sensors etc are there. unless it's a lot of oil leakage, don't be afraid. I have never seen one that isn't leaking a little. I just brought my spare home today and it's a low mileage one and it's leaking some. Make sure you get the shift linkage etc, as well! And interior trim! -

Carlise May 15-17th the East Coast Meet
bratman18 replied to moosens's topic in Meet n' Greet. Your USMB Welcome Center
So just a question, but should you always re torque the headgaskets on an EA81 after replacing them? -
Looks like fun! I like your sedan too!
-
Yeah usually anything like that would be "rusted to the door handles":lol: And I still wouldn't be able to buy it for anything less than a couple hundred!

My EA82 radiator is all bolted in my Brat. Why don't you just fit it in permanantly -
Looks good for 50 bucks!!
