That does it, someone needs to go out on an expedition to every NZ wreckers yard and scour every old subie or even the engine pile for this engine/cylinder heads
Would make a pretty cool YT documentary though, hunting down the mystical EA81 Safari engine

Unfortunately anything as old is these is pretty much crushed or smelted complete these days, unless someone knows what they are looking at, it's hard enough to find a rough brumby to rob parts from, let alone something more desireable.Silverbullet wrote:That does it, someone needs to go out on an expedition to every NZ wreckers yard and scour every old subie or even the engine pile for this engine/cylinder heads

The NZ climate is pretty hard on japanese steel from the 70's and 80's

theyre not at a single point, theyre on the whole path. One of the people on the boat at the time happened to be a Nissan rally guy from america apparently he got some of the good parts off it. The was talk in the 90's about going out and getting everything to document it but sense provailed.Brumby Kid wrote:So somewhere there is a heap of rally nissans swimming with the fishes, at the bottom of the sea.

Been done already. Paul from Subarwreck spent 6 months in newzealand hunting down parts and sending them back. Also got a load from Japan. There arent many places to look.

When I saw this I thought "No, it couldn't possibly be..."Loyale 2.7 Turbo wrote:
Then read Jonno's post about EA71 and fabrication and realized what was going on Very very interesting that someone would go to all this trouble, I wonder how it turned out. Seeing how they drilled big holes in each head and welded those manifolds on, makes a DIY quad carb EA81 seem a lot more do-able...no no no what am I thinking, shouldn't be getting ideas

Yes, it is an EA71, but I was thinking about the Single Port that the Standard and the Fat-Case EA71's Heads does have, and this thing looks like it has Two.
Well, in another note; There is one Second Gen Subaru Leone RX coupe with one of those EA81S Engines (with Four port Heads and Twin Downdraft Weber Carbs, each one directly bolted to the Head) from the Safari Rally, is Now For Sale in New Zealand!!!
