I have one too.

From factory they made 150hp or 115kw at the flywheel.

[Stodart]

nice 1 both so is that full transmission set up a standard feature on all RXs?

maybe dreaming too much to get a rally spec one like this ie re pic. ( the STI of the the RX maybe?) :-\

Still dont know what HP mine has, there is one other on here that has an OMEGA( nz new Leone) so may have better/worse specs than the Japenese Domestic.

Keep an eye on trademe there was an ex possum one a few years back.

[DRFVDR]

Mine is going in to get repainted very soon, as I have a bit of money spare now, once that is done I will put the orignal mudflaps back on and be on the look out for a rear spoiler,I wonder if Subaru can still get them.

[Stodart]

Cheers will keep looking. maybe talk to rally people etc for rear spoiler? the spoiler and bonnet scoop for intercooler certainly help the cars looks.

try these guys, otherwise Auz/US/ebay etc maybe? http://www.subspare.co.nz/index.php

from wikipedia:

The Subaru EA-82 engine was produced from 1985 to 1994. It came with a carburetor, single point fuel injection, or multi port fuel injection. Most of the technical advancements introduced to the EA82 were utilized in the Subaru EJ engine, specifically, the SOHC valvetrain, and multi-point fuel injection.

All of that information is for the US versions

would not take anything from wikipedia as gospel

but the EA82t ratings sound about right

I would never put a bonnet scoop on the RX BUT i intend to fit an intercooler ( RS WAIC one)

I have a fully forged rally spec engine in my shed,( it has aftermarket cams as well as it has a real lumpy idle) I intend to fit this to my RX in the next few months, with the WAIC and an XT spider intake, also thinking of fitting a VF8 as I have a few lying around.

will see how well it goes after that, may have to send the gearbox away to be repaired as it has an issue going into 3rd

i read that the EA82T\'s are p1ss weak and dont like having bigger turbos fitted or adjusting the boost.. something to do with heat in the drivers side head

[DRFVDR]

yeah could be true

the rally engine was taken out of a car running 15psi and never missed a beat so may have had some remedy work done

as I have 2 spare engines it is worth a punt

yea plenty of ppl have rallied them but i suspect theyd have adjustable computers and associated mods aye.. what i read was prolly more about playing around at home with turbos and boost and not doing associated mods then they go bang sort of thing

[Old Skool Subbie]

I had talked to a guy that owned Possums old Rally RX.

They had the bhp up to 250+ BHP. And It was reliable too.

Rallyed it for many years with out any major problems.

ThatcCar still around but apparently was Re engined with a Legacy Turbo motor.

Read also and a heard from someone else that there were limitations with Ea 82s head design ie single exhaust port heads (flow limitations) for extracting power from being turbocharged
