chef_tim Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 There is an 85/6 2wd wagon with a SPFI EA82 in for $395. It seemed to start and run good it does have a tic, hoping it's a MM gasket. This would be to replace my Webered CCR EA81. 126k on the clock, and I'd still have to convince Vicky that $395 basical for a motor would be worth it. Can I count on some serious wiring help from you guys if I jump on it????? Give me your thought both possitive and negative so I can make an informed decision.

archemitis Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 if you want... just get a motor. morganm is stripping a loyale atm, with spfi. im sure hed let some spfi stuff go for very cheap. then all you need to find is a good longblock but ya, i'll help you all i can. and seems like the spfi even has a manual or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chef_tim Posted March 14, 2005 Author Share Posted March 14, 2005 Vicky said since I spent $1100 on my EA81 that I have to drive it till it dies:eek: . BUT, could I put SPFI on to that motor and get the same effect???? It has Brat cams and EA71 pistons so the compression is probably a little high.

Tim That would acyually probably be your best bet for reliability of the EA81 and the reliability of the SPFI system. I wouldn't worry about the CR too much the SPFI motor is 9.5:1 as it is. I can't imagin that even with the EA71 pistons that the EA81 would be much higher than that. I say go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archemitis Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 heck yeah, if you have brat cams and hig compression, goin ea82 would be a step backwards=] youd need to modify a disty, with parts from both, other than that pretty easy deal. best of both! =] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chef_tim Posted March 15, 2005 Author Share Posted March 15, 2005 What could I expect in comparision to the Weber??? Better milage??? more topend??? How about my bottem end?? I just want to be sure it will be worth the time and money. If you see Morgan point him to this post to see what he has available.

archemitis Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 i know people swear by webers, but having messed with one for a year, with less than spectacular results... id say you are in the same boat. efi will be a world of difference. i dont guarantee anything but i would bet money you will smile alot more =] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archemitis Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 if you want, send me the heads, and i'll flow the crap out of them =] we wont tell the wife. hehehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chef_tim Posted March 15, 2005 Author Share Posted March 15, 2005 One thing I don't want to do is mess with this motor, I do appriciate the offer though. I tired of messing with the Weber too, it runs great but with out the efficiency and power I expected. Is there a list of parts I need to start looking for???

MorganM Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 Sorry I didn't find this post earlier; I don't come to this section often. Tim; I'm stripping a Loyale right now. I could pull off everything you need for the SPFI conversion. So far it sounds like pulling the harness would be the toughest part. I'm not looking to score big $ of this stuff; just enough to pay for the tow dolly and junkyard to take it away would be fine by me Then I could tell the wife it really was a "free" parts car! Send me a PM if you seriously want the stuff. I'm going to be pulling 90% of it off anyway as spare parts. Would perfer to see it go to a board member and actually get used instead of sitting on my shelves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
