  1. When was the last time it ran right? Was it something you did? If so trace your steps back. The EJ motors will do this exact same thing if your getting extra air past the MAF. I have three Subs, and none of them will want to stay running the second you start to disconnect the air tube from the intake manifold. They loose all power, and the computer still thinks everything is fine. Sounds like you have a big issue, but Im betting its not.
  2. I would have to say that you have reached the max on your motor. Someone said in a reply about the computer making the car jerk and slow down, and that is exactly what the fuel shut off does. Its really noticeable when you hit it. If you had your 92 up to 120, your car probably was either overlooked, your computer has some issue thats bypassing it, or they werent putting that option in yet. I bought a 92 wagon myself, a few months ago, but I havent had it to its limit yet. If I had to guess, if your wagon is an airbag model, it has a fuel shut off.
  3. The vehicle is only rated for just under 900 lbs. If you dont mind using up your vehicle, they will definiatly pull just about whatevery you want, as others have said already.
  4. You had to have pulled something apart by mistake....sucks! If its turning over, and your cluster seems to be fine, it has to be either fuel or ignition. If it was running before, its definatly something trivial.
  5. I've noticed there are many questions about this motor, and its ability to be put into a left hand drive vehicle. Both on this message board, as well as others, it almost seems to be some mystical creature, but infact, its really quite easy to do, and still keep both turbos. If you want to go all out, www.japanparts.com has a header replacement that puts both turbos at equal height. This will allow you to keep the turbos. Down side to going this route is that it costs $1900.00. My own Ej20tt only cost me $1400.00, which came with lower cradle, wiring harness, ecu, 5sp trans, engine, intercooler, exhaust, turbos.....everything but the car. If you can find the same deal which I did, $1900 for a header wouldnt really be all that bad. If you have a automatic car, just sell it. There are plenty of nice manual Subs out there, I have three right now, all excellent and didnt pay over $2000.00 for any of them. All together, thats $5300.00, if you want to go the expensive route. Now for the cheap route. So the left turbo hits everything...Huh!"?!! Get a exhaust gasket kit from your local store, and take off the turbos and exhaust. The left turbo flange sets a quite different from the right one, but all you have to do is get some matching exhaust tube, make the correct bent, and cut it to about two inches on each side of the bend. Now that you have that, cut your flange off the exhaust and add the bent piece. It would probably be better to take the whole exhaust to a muffler shop with a mandrel bender if you dont know what you are doing with exhaust. Even at a muffler shop, you could get away with $200.00 for the job, just make sure that you clear the exhaust of any metal shavings of any kind. Just one little piece of weld lag will have you taking your turbos back off in a month. As for the electrical part, if you are wise enough to make sure the wiring harness comes with the jap motor, just connect the dots!!!! It all hooks up the same way as american, just the wires are a little different in color. The factory jap ecu controlls the motor just fine, so enjoy. It does have a little dead spot between turbos, but thats really normal. didnt spell check...sorry
