Thanks for the help in looking for a roof scoop!I would really like to set something up where it would be functional.Maybe even put a fan up there on the inside for cool air to get blown down.My car doesn't have a/c so this would be nice when I am going down the trail.Thanks again I will let you know what I can find and how it goes on the install.I am putting it on my little hatch.

I just went to pull n save this last weekend. I think they have the best selection of old subes around. I also went to sidewinder off brighton blvd and they have a little bit also,but they don't get new parts cars in so often.I was in looking for a good used ej22 or ej25 motor to do a swap in my 87 hatch,along with rear disks from a gl10.Didn't find much good stuff this run, but maybe next time.

Anyone know if there is anything like this availabe to buy?I have been thinking of building one to put on my '87 hatch.:cool:

Hey I live in Wheat Ridge just right outside of denver.I had to get rid of my last suby which was an 88 2dr hatch.I ported the heads,2.5"exhaust,msd coil and ported intake manifold and weber carb. I am right now trying to get my hands on another hatch or a brat,or turbo rx.I really would like to do a ej22 swap in a hatch with the 5sp swap.Anyone here in colorado or close by doing something similar or got any ideas? Also I am going to do a lift on the new sube when I get one.I would really like to see what they look like in person.Subies Rock!

Thanks for the info.I have heard many people talk about the ej22 swap and I just wanted to know if there is a diagram available of what wires go to what when I end up putting it back together. Also what year cars did the ej22 come out of? What is the stock power I can expect to get out of the ej22?

Hi I was wondering if anyone has first hand experience putting a 1.8 Ea82 motor into the hole where the ea81 1.6 was. I am looking at converting my hatch to 5speed tranny at the same time of the motor swap. My suby is a 1986 2dr hatch. Is the 1.8 carb engine conversion worth trouble,or is the SPFI engine a better way to go. I am going to build my own intake so I can run dual carbs or a very large single.I am looking at larger than the weber 32/36. I will be running the spfi heads on the carb engine because of better port design and slightly higher compression.For that reason I am going to be building a custom intake manifold.Along with head porting of course and a custom 2'' header to a 2.5'' exhaust.Does anyone know of a company that will make high compression pistons for the ea82. I am looking for at least 10:1 to 12.5:1. Is this really worth the trouble? Am I better off sticking with the ea81 motor? Or going a different route entirely with a different motor? The last car I built was a 1988 suby 2dr hatch, I had ported the head and the intake manifold,Msd blaster coil,weber 32/36 carb, 2 1/4" exhaust. It ran really good.Anyone who has contemplated this before please help. I would like to be pointed in the right direction so I don't end up doing the same thing as someone else has had to do.
