torpedo51 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I need to identify the throttle body so that I can buy a replacement fuel injector. I lost the pictures that I took and I'm 300 miles away from my car at the moment. I think I have an EA82 SPI manifold and throttle body. I could identify it if I could see it. Can anyone point me to a photo gallery online, or provide a few pictures? I can't find anything in a Google search (?!). Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferp420 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 if its has a single port fuel injection it can only be the ea82 system all other roo motors ether had multi port injection or a carb the motor its on dosent mater if its a subaru system and spfi than it has to be from the ea82 and they all used the same injectors but unless there are pic its just a guess not real with out pics lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torpedo51 Posted August 18, 2017 Author Share Posted August 18, 2017 Its a Subaru engine for starters is it? Yes, its on an EA81 block... but I don't think that matters because EA81's never came with SPFI from the factory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were at an auto parts store, how would I tell them the model and year? 1989 GL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

l75eya Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Literally took me about 3 minutes to look up a 93 loyale on rockauto and screenshot it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferp420 Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 That dose not look like a ea82 throtle body so probably not subaru Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 I was thinking that also. It does not look like anything I have seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloyale Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 looks like a Ford or GM unit to me. Maybe Pinto? Who the heck knows what is controlling it. Sorry but we likely won't be much help with that setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torpedo51 Posted September 6, 2017 Author Share Posted September 6, 2017 Yep - identified as a Rochester TBI. Seems to be from a GM truck. I was able to locate a model number on it. Thanks to all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
czny Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 (edited) Yep - identified as a Rochester TBI. Seems to be from a GM truck. I was able to locate a model number on it. Thanks to all. Also looks a lot like a single barrel GM TBI from a 2.5L 4 banger. Something from a 'bout 1988. Or 4 cyl Chevy S10 truck perhaps? Not from an ordinary 88-91 Chevy truck as those would be 2 BBL TBI bodies for both 6 cyl & V8. Rochester model # is on vertical surface next to throttle linkage on TBIs. GearheadEFI forum might be able to help. Can't tell you much more than that. Edited September 7, 2017 by czny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
czny Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 (edited) Looks more like a 84-86 2.5L Pontiac Fiero TBI unit: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1984-1986-PONTIAC-FIERO-TBI-THROTTLE-BODY-ASSEMBLY-2-5L-4CYL-1985-84-85-86-OEM-/142480255948?hash=item212c7c2bcc:g:oRUAAOSwxh1Zl6ch&vxp=mtr Throttle position switch(TPS) looks to have been changed to a V6 or V8 one. Pontiac Fiero injector on RA: https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/pontiac,1985,fiero,2.5l+151cid+l4,1249039,fuel+&+air,fuel+injector,6224 That black cube on top of the TBI to right of bore looks like a relay that isn't part of the the TBI. Like its just sitting there unmounted. Edited September 7, 2017 by czny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torpedo51 Posted December 22, 2021 Author Share Posted December 22, 2021 For the benefit of others (and thanks to all who nudged me forward): It was identified positively as an 1982 GM SPFI (1982 Camaro) I was able to purchase a replacement injector for it. Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Step-a-toe Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 thanks for returning to the post ! What engine capacity is that model Camaro ? I would guess some V8 ? and some genius has it working fine on an 1800 cc ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88SubGL Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 In 1982 the Camaro was available with 4, 6 or 8 cylinders. So probably the 4 cylinder, I don’t remember the displacement, probably 2.5. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torpedo51 Posted December 31, 2021 Author Share Posted December 31, 2021 Right - its unclear whether it was from a Camaro, Cavalier, Celebrity or some other 2.0 - 2.5L Chevy engine. Certainly from a 4 cylinder. I have another post going for a related issue, and it would be helpful if any of you could weigh in. The question is: why do you think the prior owner of this VW bus put a Chevy TBI300 SPFI onto a Subaru EA81? Specifically, is there some advantage to using this GM SPFI instead of the Subaru SPFI? Seems like a lot of extra work: EA82 manifold, TBI adapter plate, O2 sensor, Megasquirt ECU + harness, hours of custom A/F tuning, etc. It was obviously successful, the guy logged a zillion miles on it in his journal... then sadly passed away so I only have his notes. Here's the link to the other post. Thx! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_freddo Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 The Original Owner may not have know about the EA82 SPFI adaptation to the EA81, or couldn’t get the parts to do it. I’ve heard a similar thing over here in Oz - we didn’t get the SPFI. I’ve only heard about this, never seen it, apparently some fella(s) adapted a Holden Camira EFI system to the EA81 or EA82. It was most likely a TBI unit - I heard it was a common conversion for other 1.8L’ish 4 cylinder engines. I’ve thought about the same thing from the Nissan Navara 4 cylinder petrol engines for the EA81, maybe one day... I guess the Original Owner was working with equipment they knew would work, or that they knew they could make it work - and they’ve obviously got it sorted. Since you have the mega squirt tune, it could be worth your while keeping the setup as is and just run it. Cheers Bennie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
