here's a probably pointless or useless question. would the hunting idle issue still be there with stock cams. I'm drooling over the power numbers because I want this kind of power in my well sorted (finally) RX chassis.

EJ swap headers what have you done. Please post photos. I need ideas for my EJ22 swap

I hope it's the axle if it's not I hope there is a wreckers near by with an RX.

macbook version 1.1 1.83mhz core duo 2gb ram (maxed out) 120gb HDD 13.1" screen super drive (DVD read/burn) can run windows (not sure why anyone would want to) currently has OS10.6 (the latest version) can run MS files along side apple

I may just have #1 if you like mac that is...

I bought a running Rebuilt in December Legacy wagon with a bad trans for $600 there just isn't anything out here that is cheap and a manual.

I bought a donor Leggo wagon for the RX. Woohoo!!! I'll be EJ'd soon!!!!!!! Quick question can I use the EJ radiator? NBD just wondering.

I've been told by a well versed tuner that with cams and ecu tuning (stand alone probably) 160 hp can be made more if you want to get nuts. The heads apparently are the bottle neck they run out of breath. I imagine a good port and polish job can fix that.

I have an engine and harness located as a matched set but thanks for the offer.

Turbone I took your advice and started putting money aside I just didn't anticipate the EA blowing so soon. oh well I am really close to the engine purchase price. Scott what do you need for the plate and flywheel. I have a few parts I can trade.

I never thought it would be so difficult to fund one of these swaps.... Life likes to kick me when I'm down. I am to the point of considering the sale of my long hunted and just acquired Peugeot flat spokes. I'm just getting frustrated and need to vent:banghead:

I got talked into a smart move. my RX will get an EJ25.

I have heard that Nissan Silvia rear calipers are a direct swap for EA front calipers. Keep in mind they retain the E-brake system but they are much newer design than the EA system.

I have located another engine so this one can come out and get some real attention. Plan to see some baseline dyno numbers with a stock engine soon. I will include the increased boost with intercooling numbers as well.

unfortunately I am restricted to the stock turbo. I have had some success with the stock turbo, I use a 3" inlet pipe and a 2.5" DP. I am considering adding a TWE header for some better response and added power. I will be adding larger injectors and possibly additional injectors for added power potential. All told including WJW's maps I think this EA82t on the stock turbo might kiss 200 Crank HP. If I could get away with a TD04 I could see quite a bit more.

Fortunately in street prepared I must run a FMIC and I can run stand alone and water inj. Those two things should vastly improve longevity of the old anchor.

this car is finally handling up to par but the engine died. I think after a new (ish) engine is installed it will be competitive once again. I do plan on rebuilding the cracked engine and see what kind of power it can make (just for fun). I will wager that 200+ hp is possible for a short time.

i have a few goodies that will be going on soon but for now its just one (well 4) see if you can spot the difference before after if you aren't sure the wheels are spaced out 1/2" yay hugely long studs. more to come

that would only be if you took out the sound deadening too.

GD can mark up one more Dead EA82t the exhaust was full of coolant this afternoon so that tells me something cracked when she got hot... anyone want to donate a good EJ swap?

I did some reading and placed a few calls. After crunching some numbers.... Goodbye F Street Prepared hello street mod.

I am stuck with the EA82t unless I want to move to a modified class.

Due to the class I have chosen to race in I am stuck with the EA82t. Because of this I am planning to build more or less the strongest one ever. I plan to address this engines weakest points and push it to the limits of the turbos capability. The first two issues are headgasket and pistons. The headgaskets are a known failure point and I think "O" ringing the block will go a long way to curing this. Second pistons the factory pistons are cast and known to break ring lands I will try to locate forged replacements to solve this problem. Due to the rules I cannot port the heads more than 1" into the ports so I will try improving the breathing with cams. I will look and see if I can polish the combustion chambers. My goals are probably unreachable but I hope to near 200hp with this hated engine.

I have another engine located and was planning to build the ultimate time bomb but I think now it's a freshen up and drop in deal. I still want to build the ultimate EA82t and I may yet do that.

tried to blow mine up today. A water hose popped off (never saw a clamp was missing been racing this for about a year without it hmmmm) dumped all the coolant on the freeway. She got really hot and I limped her home since it was 3 blocks or so and set about cooling her off. 30 minutes then 10 litres of water later she was cooler. I replaced the hose and bought new clamps. I ran her for about 45 min in the driveway looking for telltale signs of disaster and ........... nothing I think she survived. To be safe I'm driving the Scaturd for the rest of the week and will check the suby out more thoroughly this weekend.
