GD Good call GD! It is such a matter of preferance that I don't think you'll get a definitive answer here. The actual horsepower and torque ratings are close enough that power is irrelavent. Generally, the EA81 is considered more reliable, and that body style is smaller, lighter, and generally better suited for offroading. The advantage of the EA82 is that it's generally considered more "civilized", with more room inside the car, fuel injection on the later models, the availability of full time 4wd, and such. The other advantage of the EA82 is that it was sold in the states through 94, so good cars and parts are much easier to come by in most areas.

Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 +1 on the similar threads at the bottom. This subject has been beaten to death like a dead horse. Yes! ... Search `bout. I just wanna Add that (I Think) the worst of the EA82 is the Timin` Belts. The Better is that is more easier to Upgrade. But with much effort (and Money), a huge upgrade can be done to the EA81`s, Look at this, a 200Hp EA81: So, Both are very Good Engines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
