Markus56 Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 (edited) Hey, does anyone know if there is even a slight possibility to get parts for a dual carb ea-81? Like an air filter box and a throttle linkage? Just let me say, before the obvious questions start, MUAWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

hatchsub Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 I like where this is going. If you found the heads and cam too im stealling them As for the air box and such call up some aviation places. I was looking into doing this and located a air box and dual carb setup at one of these places that used to deal with EA81s. I forget the name but if you search aviation and EA81 subaru u should be able to find them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twitch de la Brat Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Well, here is a place that seems to have a lot of info on how to hop up the EA81, but I wasn't able to read through the whole thing, so I'm not sure if its got dual carb stuff. I would start asking the Aussies and Kiwi's. It seems like they got the cool stuff :-p You might pm Jerry (bratsrus1), he has a lot of oddball Subaru things. Otherwise, you already have one of the biggest Subaru junkyards nearby, Aarons. I'll check around here for you Twitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markus56 Posted July 27, 2010 Author Share Posted July 27, 2010 oh yeah, i also am looking for a distributor. I believe they are all the same for EA-81's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbone Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 oh yeah, i also am looking for a distributor. I believe they are all the same for EA-81's? No, they arent. Theres Hitachi's and NipponDenso. I believe the EA81T disty is different also. Jerry DeMoss and Psyko might have some info as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markus56 Posted July 27, 2010 Author Share Posted July 27, 2010 so then, would someone know what kind of disty works? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markus56 Posted July 27, 2010 Author Share Posted July 27, 2010 so who wants to tell me what i am planning? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twitch de la Brat Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Knowing you, its probably some gonna be a hopped up EA81 slammed in a sedan, EA81 or otherwise, and built into a driftmobile. Or the polar opposite, a beefed out EA81 in a new wheeling wagon. One of the two Twitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markus56 Posted July 28, 2010 Author Share Posted July 28, 2010 (edited) So, this is the reason why i am looking for parts: Whats that? You cant see it? Let's try this: I have found, and now own, a JDM twin carb EA81! My boss inherited it when he bought his auto shop 4 years ago. It sat in his garage ever since, and wanted to get rid of it. It is a JDM crate motor that was purchased about 6 years ago, according to hearsay. Edited July 28, 2010 by Markus56 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moosens Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 So what would you pay if it didn't land on your lap? I've got a d/c set-up here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markus56 Posted July 28, 2010 Author Share Posted July 28, 2010 well, i want to see if a local aviation company has some of the stuff i am looking for stuffed in the back of their closet. i figure they should, they sold quit a few of these motors back in the day. Something about purchasing a shipping container full of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northguy Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Try Dave Miller's Auto repair in Eagle River, AK. (907) 696-2096. I know he has a dual carb motor and a huge stash of old stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markus56 Posted July 28, 2010 Author Share Posted July 28, 2010 My plan is to put it in my wheeler wagon. I have wanted an EA-81 to put in it, because of the torque, and my jelolousy of Butters (One Eye's wagon). So this fell on my lap, and i am excited to see what happens. Reading around on the board, this motor should have around 100 hp? Or if i am super lucky, 120!! Oh yeah, to piss you guy off even more, i got the motor for the one time only, super low price, of FREE. (insert evil laugh here) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doobieryan Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 I want one sooooo bad! if anyone could point me in the right direction on where to get one that would be awesome! or just where to get the intake and ill start from there. I need more power but i don't want to do an ej swap. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markus56 Posted July 29, 2010 Author Share Posted July 29, 2010 These motors are very hard to get and the intakes don't match up with a regular EA-81 head. Mine is only the second one i have seen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatchsub Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 These motors are very hard to get and the intakes don't match up with a regular EA-81 head. Mine is only the second one i have seen Yes they do. You can bolt a dual carb intake on a normal EA81 head just fine. But you wont really be gaining much if anything by doing it. The dual carb motor had reversed valves (intake and exhaust valves switched positions) as well as a reversed cam (duh). They were rated at around 105-108 hp if i remember right. If its been sitting for a long time dont expect the carbs to be good...unless its never had gas in it then by all means. As for distributors you can use either the Hitachi (4x4) carb or the Nippo-Denso (2wd) distributor. Just make sure to get the corresponding coil. Wanna sell it and make a profit?

Psyko Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Hey, Marksus, would you mind taking a trillion pictures of everything and how they all go together (hoses and the like)? A while back, I managed to lose a lot of pictures and my DC pre-dismantle pictures were among them. Wanna sell it and make a profit? I'm glad you have somebody else to pester. Now you may leave me and mine alone. Haha Still, I must taunt you and tell you that it's probably going to be a couple/few years before I get mine back together. What a waste, huh? :-p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markus56 Posted August 1, 2010 Author Share Posted August 1, 2010 did some work on the motor today. pulled off the intake, and cleaned up the block. I found that it still had coolant and oil in it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markus56 Posted August 17, 2010 Author Share Posted August 17, 2010 back to life! Now, has anyone ever done this or heard of this? Twin webers on a dual carb EA-81. I found another one at a wrecking yard today with a subaru adapter! So either i am going to slap this weber on the motor currently in my wagon, or i am going to have a dual weber EA-81. MUWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
