EA82T, Easy 130-140hp? (not asking for directions)


Recommended Posts

Since I've got my coupe running, more or less properly, You guys think I could get it to around 140hp pretty easily? Or should I take the time to drop an EJ22 into it? (You'd be surprised at how many there are up here, without cars attached) No, this isn't a, zomg tell me how 2 mak mah carrr fast! Just curious if the investment would be fit on something else entirely :) (And yes, I know I probably should have searched, but I'm off to bed soon)

in europe the EA82T delivered stock 136hp, with a bigger exhaust and some small intake mods, you can easily get 140hp

 

the main difference between EDM and USDM is the boost pressure (there may be more), mines set at 0,6/0,7 bar while yours is at 0,4/0,5 so upping the boost and adding an intercooler will net you some ponies

I would assume that's to the wheel? Sar far performance wise, I've been told between 110 and 115 whp. So the goal is 130+ whp without going into debt.

 

no that is crank HP, the EDM have stock ~136chp and the USDM have ~115chp

 

you should read the threads of WJM (will) he has done a lots of research and even had some succes :P (there are more people who have done the same, calebz, boostedballs for instance, there is loads to read)

2.5" exhaust and DP, 0.7 bar boost and 136 hp off the wheels (162 chp)... that was my turbo Leone couple of years ago. Easy and cheap and reliable :)

 

I have that exact setup and I highly doubt I have 160chp, was that with or without IC? stock manifold/uppipe?

EA82T ftw.

 

I've had mine that fast.

 

Easy.

 

I had one that was putting out 240 CRANK hp and 320 CRANK tq for a LONG time. No problems. That engine still lives today after 40k+ street miles, a day at the road course, over 100 autox's and a few mountian runs.

Please, Don´t Forget the Stock "Rally" Version of the EA82T, that Delivered 190 Hp.

...I'd go EJ, just my .02 cents

 

Well... isn´t Bad Idea, if you can find Easy a Cheap EJ Engine...

So...best bet for more power is more boost, and for the long run a new engine. I like those odds! Eheh... So You guys think that .7 bar would over power my injectors? (roughly 10lbs of boost) I don't mind running a little lean either, better gas mileage is always a bonus XD

.7 bar will be fine, my car runs stock .6/.7 so that won't be a problem, 14psi is more like 1 bar, and that may be a problem (wait for will's response, he knows ;))

12 PSI maxes the injectors at 4000 RPM with that setup. So yes, I was running about 15:1 at redline at 14~15 PSI.

I was only planning on running 10 pounds, What did you do to the fuel cut, or is yours the one of the lucky ones... I was planning on buying a fuel cut defenser but not so soon...

My two cents is go EJ... I loathe the EA82T, I've had quite a few and none of them hold together, not even in stock form... my SPFI EA82 is a billion times more reliable. I wanted more power in my Rx, I added an intercooler and before I could do anything else, the HGs blew out of the blue.:grin: Now its almost done with an EJ25 swap... not the best engine ever, but I got it cheap.:banana:
