Know your limits

Post by ORX-18 » Sun Jan 03, 2010 5:30 pm

Sooo. i found the limitations on an 82-T. After yet another engine rebuild and tune with new bits i have broken it again, and am nearing divorce at a great rate of knots. EA82-T+Highflowed VF24+forgies+Rods+prepped crank, o'ringed block+big squirters and pump and massive duration cams=Fun. Buuut, all of the above+gas+tolulene and 7psi more=catastrophy. I bent a crank and 2 rods and destroyed an engine block. I have salvagable pistons, maybe, and a sump. Was spectacular to say the least. Made the most disheartining noise known to man. Anyway, we made high 400 crank horsepower before it went burrrddddd thud bang. Guess thats all it would cop. Watch this space for the new engine build. EJ20G+Brian Crower 2.2 kit and cams, T04Z and lots of money ;)

Its to bad that broke. One of these days I wanna get into the whole suby racing but right now mine are for backwoods rally mobiles.
Subaru.... Not the prettiest at all but nothing else out there holds 8 people, 4wds like a truck and gets twice the gas mileage as a truck.

400 HP ?! I have got something to look forward to then with my budget tinkering :) just so long as I keep it below 400.

Next time, think of the rest of us and video it, imagine charging a few bucks to everyones credit card who wanna hear or see it - pay for the next engine encounter :)

Thats simply insane!!!

I thought 250hp was about the limit of the internals.

Have you got any dyno graphs you could post up, id love to see the torque curve and how much it differs from standard

Good move on the EJ swap. Those poor old EA motors are just not worth the effort when the EJ will slip straight in it's place and make half as much power again, stock.
Keep us informed....
