Not a direct fit. You would first need a non feedback carb and its manifold, then some grinding and moving of coolant lines is required.

anyone else reading this, could go the whole EA82 carb and manifold to save fiddling to get L carb on EA81 inlet and use EA82 top hose. I run EA82 inlet manifold on my EA81 in a Brumby

That works well unless you're running Power steering - coolant hose has to go through the PS belt...

Use the EA82 PS Pump :) The turbocharged Jap EA81 used a similar unit

I've never seen this done without the turbo bracket and crank pulley. It'd be interesting to see if it would work.

Does this work with AC? And where do you get this kit from?

Kit comes from one of the USMB members where I have been banned for some crock reason related to spam (Spare me the BS)

I am borrowing the idea for my Brumby and seeing as I have full fabrication equipment going to make one for myself and yes I have just picked up MY Factory Air for a bargain Hundred dollars so I will make sure it works with AC.

Busy with new Job but will sort it out over the next few months or so and keep you in the loop, May as well make a few after I sort out the prototype.
