EA82Turbo Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Hi. This is my first message post as part of the forum. I have an old carburated EA82 that has been turned into a fuel injected turbo. I did do the work so did ask anything too tricky. I recently had a problem with a leads and replaced the whole set with top gun leads. The problem is I didn't take note of which lead went to which cyclinder. Could someone please help with the firing order for this motor?

harpua Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Passenger side front cylinder is #1 Drivers side front cylinder is #2 Passenger side rear cylinder is #3 Drivers side rear cylinder is #4 On the distributor you will hook up the leads Counter clock wise in this succession #1 #3 #2 #4 pretty simple...if you have any more questions, just ask. donny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EA82Turbo Posted April 19, 2004 Author Share Posted April 19, 2004 Cheers fellas, thanks for your help. Engine is actually a ea81 sorry, push rod edition . But should be the same right? Another question. The engine has had alot of internal work done by the last owner. When I got the car it was running around 18-22 lbs. That sounded like to much for me so I turned it down to around 14-16 lbs. Recently I crashed the car backwards into a bank, bugger! After some backjard panel work I am only been able to get around 7-10 lbs. Car feels slow!!! Any one got any good ideas. I'm thinking it could be the boost controller or the wastegate leaking? How would I check these things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbone Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 I think you were right the first time with the engine type. So far I know of no one that has been pushing a EA81T at 18 to 22lbs of boost. That sucker would go thru the roof 14 to 16lbs is even pushing it. If you have plastic covers on the front of the motor, its a EA82T. Its a OHC with belts running the cams.

EA82Turbo Posted April 19, 2004 Author Share Posted April 19, 2004 Engine is a ea81 coz there are no cam belts on the front of the engine and im pretty sure it says EA81 on it. It does sound like alot of boost but seems to run it fine. It is in a rally car and has been competing with the same motor for over 10 years. When I got the car I was told the motor was a carburation edition modified to be fuel injected intercooled turbo but it may be a modified EA81T i'm not sure.
