LuckyPistol Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 1.8L L4 2BBL ?? I know this sounds simple, I tried to do a search, but none explained what this means. I know its 1.8 Litre , but L4? .. 2BBL? My car is a 1986 1.8L "Fuel Injected". (So I am thinking it doesnt have any carburators) Anyway, someone explain , THANKS:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stngllhm Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 are you sure it is fuel injected i think the first year you could get a fuel injected was 87. the L4 problly stands for lateral 4 cylinder just a guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right that the 1.8L is teh displacement, but L4 usually means an inline 4 cylinder, the Subaru engine is usually refered to as a H4, (H meaning horizontal), the 2BBL usually stands for 2 barrel carb.

TheSubaruJunkie Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 First fuel injected Subie was '83 Yup, 1983 Is when Subaru introduced the EA81T which came with MPFI. -Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qman Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 And for the record. MPFI was available in 1985 for the EA82. XT's and 2wd auto sedans had it. But yes, the first issue was in the late '83 turbo EA81's. And Corky's description of your question is dead on. L4 in a 'roo. Not yet, but there is an L3.

JWX Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 I never heard an inline 4 referred to as an L4, an I4 yes but L4, that’s new to me. but I'm from the south so take that for what you will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AkWoody Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 1.8L =displacement L4 = Laterally opposed - Some euro/aussie speak for what we call an H4, some even call them a "flat 4" 2BBl = 2 Barrel Carb, 2 barrels are strictly Hitachi.
