jono Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 somewhere in here was a link to a craigslist? ad for the awesomely modified blue 79? BRAT ute running an EA82T with spider inlet. The blurb claied it had a non turbo inlet manifold and it flowed better than the turbo one. Find this hard to believe if it is the NA spider V's turbo spider! It may be a case of NA spider being used due to it flowing better than the non spider turbo inlet manifold ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyhorse001 Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 i think, but could be wrong, an n/a spider is the same part as a turbo, so someone was blowing smoke! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jono Posted January 3, 2016 Author Share Posted January 3, 2016 not breathing in ... there are two part numbers for the spider manifold and difference looks to be the NA or turbo ! the water log base sections are different only as far as I can see for the turbo coolant pipe off the thermostat lower casting. Cannot see how they would alter castings between the two modes myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbosubarubrat Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Here is a part of a build thread on it with more links about it http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/146198-subaru-brat-ea82-turbo-bastard-project/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyhorse001 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I can see the water crossover being different. It has to feed coolant to the turbo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
