jacobs Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 There's a carburetor listed on eBay for a 1987 Subaru at http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&sspagename=ADME%3AL%3ARTQ%3AUS%3A1&viewitem=&item=160053291324. He claims it was removed from a turbo engine. Is this something rare or is this guy out to lunch? I've always thought all turbos were fuel injected.

ShawnW Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 Looks like an ea82 Carb to me. Gotta almost be 86 and older if it is though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgd73 Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 Carbs can respond well to superchargers, I thought soob had a turbo ea81 carbed, unless it was someones project. Superchargers are consistent enough from idle and up for a carb to understand easily- no lag and cold air under low pressure. If the supercharger disappears, it doesn't run well. I thought for sure soob had one turbo and carbed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeshoup Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Even the EA81 Turbos had MPFI (they had ports tapped into the heads for the fuel injectors...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
