GeneralDisorder Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Actually they made the same power as an EA71 and SOA built a destroked (1.0 liter using a JDM crank) version of that little guy with 120 HP. Still holds the bonneville reccord in the 1.0 liter class..... three 40mm mikuni's and a really hot cam. GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zyewdall Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Cute little thing. Mine reminds me of a large lawn tractor engine. The fuel injected one is rated for the same horsepower as my old EA81 was. Mainly I wish I still had the low range on the transmission, as it does run out of torque in the snow or mud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferox Posted June 5, 2009 Author Share Posted June 5, 2009 Thank you for your kind words so when is it getting a turboThis one will remain stock. I am rebuilding this Justy as a super-commuter DD and I haven't the skills or time to do a turbo build at this point. Also, I probably wouldn't do that type of build on a Justy because all the other control systems...brakes, suspension, steering are still miniature and upgrading them would require enough fab that you might as well start from scratch or a different car that is better suited and supported in the aftermarket. I would love to build a high performance 3 cylinder, but electric will kick its butt everytime, so I'll probably skip straight to that. Proboards has a lot of really top notch turbo builds, and I respect that, but of the two camps 1)turbo 2)stock, I fall into the latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry DeMoss Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Hey Ferox that looks really good! Gives me a little more nudging that I need to rebuild my justy engine too! Good job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferox Posted June 6, 2009 Author Share Posted June 6, 2009 Thanks Jerry! I am going to be installing those fancy rotors that you got me a discount on, soon. I got the upgraded Gen II brake system and rear anti-sway bar also. I would probably have them done already if my other cars weren't jealous and demanding my attention. I am really looking forward to seeing your build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
