Hey Guys This is Jerry, have you look on the Aussie board on mini jet boat racing. They use the 2.2 with the carb to get more power because with the fuel injection you can only go so big well with the carb you can go bigger larger jets larger carb more ponies. Like Scott is talking about old school simple and away we go. Thanks Jerry

Hi This is Jerry, well i went to my work place today and got my 2.2 with the carb all put back together oh crap i forgot the gas can. So i go back home on the way my hatch mis 1 time thats odd less than 1 mile later it dies. So i coast to the side and start checking things yes getting gas so check the spark zip no spark. Whats the odds of having another dissy in your car thats the good news i had one. Yes i pulled the dissy and put the other one in timing must be real close fired up and away i went. I love these little EA81 cars some people call them tinker toy cars because they are so simple. Thanks Jerry:banana:

Crazy high oil pressure
bratsrus1 replied to Captin Hook's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Hi This is Jerry, if it's not the wire then your oil pump bypass is stuck. Pull the pump there is a spring with a steel ball in it, if the spring is broke or something is in there not letting the ball to move not good. BTW get a oil pump reseal kit before you remove the pump. Thanks Jerry -
Hi This is Jerry, i sent you a PM Thanks Jerry

4 speed vs 5 speed 4 wheel drive
bratsrus1 replied to one eye's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Hi Jeff This is Jerry, i was the first guy to install a 5 speed in a stock brat sence then i have done alot of 5 speed swap overs. My self i will never go back to a 4 speed, once you drive your car with the 5 speed you will know what i am talking about. BTW i am the guy that makes the 5 speed kit to fit the EA891 cars. Thanks Jerry -
Ney X7 This is Jerry, i have a 86 EA81 hatch that has a RX 5 speed dual range tranny with 3.70 gears. At 65 mph the tach is at 3000 rpm, you have the same gears that i have. I think your auto tranny mush be slipping, it could be that the auto tranny has lower gears in it. I also have the stock tire size 185R 70X13. Thanks Jerry

which is better? d/r or push button
bratsrus1 replied to GREENSUBIE's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Hey SS This is Jerry, what kind of car are you going to put the tranny in that makes a difference. If is't for your hatch back EA81 engine well that would tell me it would be the 5 speed dual range tranny. Thanks Jerry -

Hi This is Jerry, on the tan as you see it but it is light yellow yes i cut the holes in the side and bolted the steps on. The blue hatchbrat isn't done inside i just have the seats mounted. The back wall about in the middle of where the back seat would be. At this time it is covered with that dredded word snow, i hate winter to cold and to dark. Thanks Jerry

Hey Scott This is Jerry, you need to look at my photos and look at my tall hatchbrat the blue one. I am 6 foot tall and the way i set up the seats they don't hit the back wall also my feet are about 3 inches from the pedals. The car is a 86 hatch with a 82 brat roof and back wall. The wall was moved back about 3 inches lots of room. Thanks Jerry

Bart, Hatch, Wagon wheel base
bratsrus1 replied to Sting0777's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Hi This is Jerry, the hatch has a 48 inch rear drive line and the brat and wagon has a 51 inch rear drive line with the 5 speed installed in them so the hatch is shorter. Thanks Jerry -

What is this hubcap off?
bratsrus1 replied to Subieguy's topic in Historic Subaru Forum: 50's thru 70's
Hi This is Jerry, if you click on my photos and the yellow hatchbrat has a full set of those center caps. They are from jackman company. Thanks Jerry -
Hey Andy This is Jerry, the 3.70 gears take less RPM than the 4.11 gears for the same speed. So if you are going 60 mph and have 3.70 gears your tach will be reading 3 grand. If you change to 4.11 gears at 60 mph your tach will read some where about 38 hundred you will be turning more rpm's but it will take less torque to push the car most likey better gas mileage because it will be like always going down hill on the flats. Thanks Jerry
