tdangelo Posted January 4, 2004 Share Posted January 4, 2004 Since I am relatively new to the Subaru engine crowd I have not as of yet discussed camshaft designs with anyone. I have done a "whole bunch" with Datsun "A" series and "L" series motors but of course they were straight four cylinder engines and not the "boxer type" engines. What kind of cam grinds are your folks running and who do you get your performance mods done buy. With Datsuns there was a whole line of racing and performance stuff generated for both the A&L series motors. I could get what I wanted from Datsun Competition or from Dave Rubello, the Datsun Guru ,down in the Bay Area. Since I have relocated to Washigton State I have discovered as serious lack of "4 banger" performance specialists, especially in the older Subaru areas. PAECO is a joke as far as their prices are concerned. You would think that all of their stuff was specially made from "Gold alloy" considereing the prices that they charge for their engines and engine parts. It is also interesting that there is no one making exhaust header pipe conversions for the EA81. By that I mean a "form the head back to a Y collector" that is of suitable ID size to give the little guys a chance to get rid of exhaust gasses. Any suggestions?? would be greatly appreciated.

garner Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 I just had a set reground for my EA82T and I was very pleased with the price. I have yet to get the motor installed and running but from what others on the board have said, I will be pleased. I am not a cam-techie but I got a torque grind. About $135 shipped:) Search this board as well as the internet for EA81 performance and Aviation engines. There are several companies that build the crap out of EA81s and sell parts, do machine work etc. check out http://www.ramengines.com As far as exhaust goes, your right, there aren't premade header for these motors. Search for Techworkseng turbo wagon. They built a wicked, almost equall length header for an EA81T. It's out there but not that easy to find Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravelRX Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 I suspect that Q's from this board will be forthcoming once the word gets out you guys have decided to stop by and browse. Scott, right? Regards, Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subarutex Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 I have some Delta cams sitting at my local shop, Bow Wow autoparts. I believe it was like $75 a cam... so $150 total. Very decent prices. For the EA82T they seemed to have to different grinds. One pretty radical, requires modification of something to get it to work. The other not so radical. I'll post the specs on my cam after I pick it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WJM Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 I have....err, HAD the cams that Dennis just ordered. very NICE! I sold/gave them to some one on the board... I had them in my Racer RX project...but it ate 2 sets of headgaskets in 8 days. So it parked now. lol Dont worry, the cams had nothing to do with the HG issue.
