  1. I will be installing a skid plate.....

     

    Not for the oil pan....

     

    But damn that IC hits ************!

     

    I slammed it into my driveway tonight! Biff! Wasnt horrible, but I now have incentive to make one.

     

    I am going to order a sheet of 3/16" aluminium, cut to size, have it bent at a sheet metal shop at the right spots, and then install some various other parts on it to protect the side hoses and what not. Or so goes the plan.

  2. OH yeah baby!

     

    My kids are amped to get back up there and cause more stress to more parents!

     

    And I doubt that I will blow this motor up. Damn.....

     

    I am actually hoping to have the wiring cleaned up this time. And if I get lucky, the second supercharger mounted as well.

     

    Your AWIC belongs to someone in Washington now, and the pump belongs to Vicash.

  3. The pressure plate is VERY different. This is because one is a push style and the other is a pull style. (can't remember which is which). But the turbo disk has the through out bearing ATTACHED to teh pressure plate. Same goes for WRX clutches. So basically the WRX and Turbo trannies have some interchangeable parts and the NA stuff has ALOTof interchangable parts.

  4. Unless you are notorious at missing shifts, the tranny should hold up fine. I am making over 220 torque on my NA motor and tranny and its holding up fine. Where you will have problems is the clutch. You need to upgrade the clutch because the stock OEM NA clutch doesnt like power. But if you get a RS pressure plate you can get a $100 Kennedy 6 puck disk that holds power up to 250 chp or so. Thats my setup and I am very happy with it.

     

     

    I have went through one NA tranny, but that was my fault, with a BAD shift from first to 2nd, where I didnt quite get it into second at 6000 rpm. Whoops.

     

    But I have made over 100 drag racing passes with my old tranny, and about 25 drag passes on this tranny. I am getting 1.9 60' times with this tranny, no complains, and no grinds or noises.

  5. If you are pulling the motor to do the headgaskets, I say pull your pistons and put new rings in. And you can also replace the front and main seal IF they are leaking. You can also send you heads out and have them rebuilt for $150-200.

     

    If you can pull you motor and take your heads off, you can do your pistons rings.

     

    I have a DVD of how to do your pistons and rings if you want for $7.50 PM me if you are intereested.
