subyrally

ive seen that before, but it was in another video, and a different place with a different driver. my old employer used to do that in his yard, made for some good lunchtime entertainment.

im rocking out the cherrybomb turbo muffler with a 3" rsonated tip on my rx, when the engine does run, it sounds very nice, not loud and rather refined.

i know that the black ones are for the head lights.

thanks s'ko, i will be working on the car again in a few minutes, i hope i can figure out why it didnt start last night. i did notice that he engine cranked a lot smoother thant hte engine that came out of the car, my guess is that it has better compression, i hope. i will try to update tonight if i can. peace tim c.

i think that the plenum is the proper name for the part, just prey it never pops off while you are trying to get on the highway QUOTE=NorthWet]It's the "4wd turbo thingy"! I think that it can be called the intake plenum... probably has a more proper name, and others will probably point that out. FSM calls it an "air intake duct".

hey will, i just got my new engine in, and now the clutch peddle wont come back up and the cable is loose... i need help. but any idea of what i should look for?

who needs a jack, the rx sits rather high off the ground as it is.i can get under it easily. i should be set with getting the engine out.

hmmm, i might have hope then for my super overkill setup i want to eventually build. i am thinking about creating a monster turbo engine for the rx, im thinking about the same route as the impreza will eventually travel. im feeling the legacy turbo block, forged pistons, ported wrx heads, twin turbos, ic sprayer, bov, high performance cams, and a few other little goodies. not that i can afford it ath the moment, but i will eventually attempt overkill. hey, with the right amount of time and effort, anything is possible. peace tim c.

will the ms system work with the ejxx engines? im thinking that if it would work reliably with, lets say a legacy turbo engine, then i might be able to go through with the other plans i have for my rx, seeing that i am having issues with the ea82. if at all possible, i want to get ms on the rx either way.

i like turbo, period.

i would still rather have the ea82 and turbo if i was pressed over a n/a car, i would worry about my impreza. besides, i have all these turbo parts that ive been aquiring for this car and i dont want to put em to waste.

the problem with the legacy engine is that its not the turbo modle, i want to keep the car turboed.

mine has tags, it has temporary registration that expires on sunday.

i would love to be able to drop it off to you, but i need to get it done by saterday so that i can try for an inspection. my tags expire this sunday.if i can inspect it saterday and it passes, i can get it registered on monday. are there any special tools needed to pull the heads on the car?

i want ms even more everytime i read this thread

hmmm, we could always have a group meet at my place this week, to get the rx back to life. hey, it could work, if anyone could afford to make it.

im having the same issues with my speedo, but i havent got any speeding tickets, not tha my rx will break the speed limit.

will, get on aim if you can

on my rx, it always locked the fromt right wheel.

thanks for that, i needed some encoragement. i tink if i can get a new block, i might could be set. hey snot rocket, would you be able to help install the engine?? if so, i might could get access to a heated garage. ill send you a pm. thanks everyone for your support. peace tim c.

go team go

i almowst forgot, its also smoking out the dip stick and some oil is coming out. figures, i fix everything else on it and it the engine craps on me.

the engine is in need of lots of work. basically, the previos owner of the engine had new heas put on an old block. needs a rebuild or new shortblock. either way, im thinking that is getting to mbe more trouble than its worth. besides, the temp tags expire this week and i cant afford to get it fixed and inspected before the deadline. we are going to take it off the insurance and return the tags this week, unless someone can break out a miracle. otherwise, i will start over on the car.the way i see it, if i have to wait this long , it better be well worth it. needless to say, i think the rings are shot, possibly the pistons. there is oil puking into the intake, extreamly excessive blowby through the valve cover breathers, the standard suby death tick under load, burns oil when ever i am flooring it to get up to speed up a hill, the turbo looses boost due to the oil in the intake. on top of all that, the steering rack blew out on both sides, total domp of all fluids in it. i think the steering pump finally died. the really screwed up part is that i just fixed the heater fan in the car yesterday. unless someone has a new ea82t that i could drop in, i dont think ill get the car on the road again. pitty everyone is out west, save but a few. peace tim c.

NEVER tell me to drive a honda. i hate hondas sooo much, i am a suby driver through and through. but thanks for the advice. i knew there was something wrong with the engine, but wasn too sure of what it was till today when i had some one runa diagnostic on it. for the price of a new engine for it, i could get a wrx engine. i think ill strip the engine out and do an engine swap. ill try to keep the interior and exterior as close to stock as i can, but im not too sure what will come with time. im feeling something in the neighborhood of overkill. i am going to save my money and start over from scratch. i will do it right this time round.

i am starting to think that its just not meant to be, every time i fix something on the rx, something else breaks. now i think i need either a full rebuild or new engine. on top of that, when i was driving home form the garage that i had look at it, i got pulled over for a bad tag light. is it really possible for one person to have this much bad luck and still be alive? this is getting rediculous, i dot havethe time to get it rebuild and i dont have the money to get a nnew engine. i am at a loss, i dont know what to o any more, ive put more time and effort into this car than what it is worth. ive put more moeny into it than its worth. if i had the time or money, i would doa total engine swap, im thinkkng something like the legacy turbo short block with wrx components around it. but that wont be cheap or easy, and thats what i want to put into my impreza. im just very unlucky, even if i could do that, something else would break. mythinks i am beyond screwed. tim c.
