G'day

By the look of this part of the forum not many people on here own the older ones (dunno why they are some of the best)

Is there anyone out there who has got a brumby or 83-84 sportswagon with an EA81 in it???
I have heard stories of the intake manifold being quite restrictive? Does anyone know anything about this??
Any help would be good

Cheers

we've got one or two or three , they were never really designed for power i guess. i know you can get a dual carby manifold for them, or a 32/36 webber carby. their used in lightweight aircraft though, so some people do make some decent power out of them..

yeah iv seen anywhere up to 140hp bein made out of them (thats with fuel injection though) but its stil possible
but i was just thinkin if you cold hone the standard manifold would it flow any better?
just a thought
thanks anyways

it was a few years ago i did some googleing on them and im pretty sure i found some with ~240HP... i suppose you could, but could you hone all the way up each intake pipe?

I've heard extrude honing is good but i dunno who does it??

dad had the twin carbs on his one a few years back, he match ported the manifold to the head and the thing was a little weppon.

I had a 32/36 on my EA82.

240hp out of an EA81?

Holy crap. That'd be one lightweight aircraft I wouldn't want to board!




With the inlet manifold, you could go custom, but there's other restrictions, namely the siamese exhaust ports.

Fun little motors none the less!

EA81 > EA82

Can't find any 240HP ones, i did heaps of googleing of them though a few years back.
