Breeke Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 That is a thought. Seems to be the easier and better way around it is to swap in a EJ22 and be done with it. No dicking around making a stroker. However, I don't see why you can't explore. Grab a spare motor, tear it down and play around till you figure it out. Sounds like a way to spend a weekend. -Caleb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricearu Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 what sux about building for perfomace ea engines, is they just don't flow through the heads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vagen Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 I have heard an urban legend that ea71 pistons in an ea81/82 will raise the compression and a set of MPFI heads will flow better than the standard 2 ports. I have not seen this setup myself but I can say having a turbo car the MPFI head design is a huge improvement over the 2 port. the cost of building a high compression mpfi head ea82 might far exceed the cost of swapping in an ej.

Uberoo Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 what about doing all that to a 2.2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4WDFrenzy Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 I have had many dreams for my ol' Draggin' Wagon, but it died and is currently on life support(stuck inside a storage unit). I haven't figured out whether I want to put another engine in it or shoot it with my shotgun..LOL. I was thinking of possibly parting it at one point. -Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
