  1. image.jpg.beee263575e0caee830d01a45bf1c673.jpg Hi Mike, this ECU is for fuel injection only but Haltech also make an ECU for ignition as well. you would not need one for carbs. Haltech is the company that makes the ECU's, I am sure they would be available in the USA. I am from Australia. Check out [email protected] Have included a photo of the Mahle pistons which are over 100 grams lighter than the standard cast Pistons . Cheers, Ray.
  2. Hi zenith701, I am setting up an electronic fuel injection system for this engine and was going to use a crank triggered CDI ignition with individual coil packs for each cylinder. The ECU I am using is a Haltec 3d fuel only. The project has stalled at the moment due to time constraints, however I'm well under way with having had made a set of Mahle forged Pistons and found a pair of twin port heads. Cheers, Ray.

     

     

  3. Hi Will,

     

    Thanks for that info, I will chase up Argo and see if they still have the drawings. Were they made the same length as the standard rods or were they longer? My thoughts are if you are going to make new rods ,longer ones would enable you to have a shorter piston thus reducing the rod angle, just my thoughts.

     

    Thanks again Will, cheers, Ray.

     

     

  4. Subaru EA81 updateJust an update on the progress of the Subaru engine for anyone interested.

     

    After strip down and measuring, the block halves were machined and line bored, including the camshaft and oil pump housing.

     

    All threads were helicoiled to improve reliability.

     

    Custom steel con rods with larger bolts , ended up the same weight as the originals.

     

    Forged pistons with narrow rings for less friction. weight of these were approx. 50 grams lighter than the Subaru cast pistons.

     

    Block was machined for zero deck height for the pistons. Rebore and honing of cylinders to .5mm oversize.

     

    Crankshaft was polished and measured. As there was no wear, journals were linished.

     

    Next step is to balance the rotating assembly after the redrive is finished. [ATTACH]12141.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]12142.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]12143.vB[/ATTACH]

    Hi, I am rebuilding an EA 81 and would like to know more about the custom con rods and where they are available from. Cheers Ray.
