86subaru Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 well here in ohio, +60 today, teeshirt weather, anyways, please post the results after you put the nkg plugs in, because i am thinking about doing the same thing , i already have the ngk plugs in and heavy wires but no super coil, and am going to do some exhaust work also :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubaruJunkie Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 I put new NGK's with some 8mm accel wires and the Accel super-stock coil. Regapped my NGK's to something like .050. Throttle responce was alittle better, but the most noticeable difference was the way the car pulled through gears in the higher rev's. It seemed to have more power and didnt lag like a dog above 3500rpm like before. -Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torxxx Posted December 29, 2003 Author Share Posted December 29, 2003 exactly what TheSubaruJunkie said... my set up will be the same as his.. I reccomend this to anyone with a carbbed EA-82 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubaruJunkie Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 Mine was done on a EA81. Would imagine a higher CR would compliment the better spark. Not willing to pull my heads just yet to have them shaved tho. -Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooinater Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 i've been procrastinating replacing to a better coil. guess i'll do that next month. since i'll have that new motor and tranny. i'll need everything i can to make it run awesome. that 115hp is gonna be sweet. hey if it makes you feel better it was like 70 degrees here in yuma today!! above freezing. but i bet you i'd like to trade you summers... 120 Degrees...

the_bard Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 Blech. And I thought I've seen cold weather... I remember some cold nights up in the Adirondacks, where we'd see single digits. Seem to remember some nights below zero, too, but they were rare. Throw in that kind of wind, and I certainly would not want to be outside. Somehow that little yearly subsidy (sp?) that you get for living in AK just doesn't seem worth dealing with the cold and that whole long day/night thing. On the other hand, it does make NY sound a bit more hospitable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northguy Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 Torxx, keep complaining only more loudlt next time. It's now 30 + in Anchorage. Good job, dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 Dang, I wish it was that cold here in Haines! We lost almost all of our snow down in the valley to torrential rains early last week, so the sledding sucks and snowmachining is out of the question without a 30 mile drive on bad roads to get there. Anybody who says Alaska is too cold hasn't really seen Alaska. It's worth putting up with the temperatures and the five hours of daylight during the winter. Check this out if you want to see what AK is all about (at least for me). I know it's actually Canadian, but it's right next door to us. http://www.yukonpowderhounds.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
