Hi fellow Subaroosters, i just had a quirky idea and wondered if it has been done before or if it could infact be done at all for an EA82 4wd wagon, i would like to read all responses about this. I was thinking of using the original front y-pipe assembly including the cat converter then at the mid b...

el freddo has a fairly good idea of the lpg v petrol situation. i use petrol 91 octane around the town and lpg on longer trips lpg- the car goes ok on lpg, no or very little (exhaust) backfiring but switch it to petrol and lots of backfiring heard from the tailpipe on decelleration- fairy loud too a...

i have an EA82, in my L series wagon and have a backfiring issue, when idling and rev the motor quickly there are a few backfires each time you take the foot off - smooth increase in revs then foot off seems ok, maybe a quiter pop. whilst driving when coming to an intersection slowing down in gear, ...

thanks for the replies, i have purchased another carby and installed it now- at the minute it seems to be working ok. the smoke from the other carb was a greyish colour, and im thinking the carby was probably getting worn out. i have not taken it for a good run yet but idling/revving it sounds bette...

The current carby seems to be the right one but i am having problems with it, about 1 minute after start up and driving up the road it will burn smoke for around a further minute and then clear to no further sm...

hi all, i was wondering if any one would know the exact proceedure to swap out an ea82 for an ej motor in a 1988 4wd wagon. firstly i have a gutless ea82 in it now, and wanted to know my options for engine replacements. i have heard ej motors will fit also ea82t will, but i dont have the knowledge a...

it is an 9/1988 4wd wagon- compression tested at 1-160, 2-180, 3-160, 4-180. i have refitted original carby back onto motor now. tried for air leaks, none detected. no diagram inder bonnet only specs for plug gap/ idle revs.

i would like an indepth diagram showing where all emission hoses attach on an EA-82 motor, also i have a miss at idle and massive backfiring on decelleration and a very sluggish motor-barely going over 100kph. i have timed, replaced head gaskets, different carby all to no avail
