You need to remove the brackets from the frame. Its only 4 bolts. -Brian

Set your gun at 0 degrees then, and use the marks on the flywheel to make sure your getting the propper settings. 12 degrees BTDC is where I find the best performance for my EA81. I have my EA82T set at 21 degrees BTDC. -Brian

I wouldnt even give them 15 seconds. You'd already be doing 100+ by then, i give it until 40mph which would be about 6 seconds. If you want the most potential power, maybe the 3.3 liter H6 (EG33) would be a better platform. Supercharge that sucker and get ready for some real power! -Brian

You did things right. Set the light to 8 degrees and then adjust the disty until the light flashes and the mark points to 0 on the flywheel. Your car will be alittle more sluggish, cause those are stock settings. Try 12 degree's for a little kick in performance. -Brian

The latest EJ25 turbo. In stock form puts out 300hp. -Brian

Duh!! See above... note: 93 is not available in Sacramento... Why would i do that, after spending 4 months building my motor using higher compression pistons? -Brian

Im talking about for the future, when im not so broke. I wont ever fill my RX with 87 octane again. Not after driving the past 3 days with it. And if I bought 1 gallon of diesel, that means I would only have to buy 14 gallons of Unleaded. And right now, diesel is cheaper than premium... so I wouldnt be wasting any money at all. The kicker is, nozels that pump diesel wont fit in my gastank, so i couldnt even put a gallon of diesel in my tank even if i wanted to :-p -Brian

It takes you 12min to type a reply??? -Brian

It will have to this week, as Im so broke that $4 will buy me dinner tonight. Tomorrow, i dunno what i'll eat. Thats what I was thinking too. You dont see octane ratings on diesel, so I didnt think it would work the same mixed with Unleaded. I think im gonna remove my injectors and send them off to be cleaned. Hoping that might help the performance side of things. Just gotta get more money in the bank, payday is Friday -Brian

That USRM article tells you how to check your codes. Doesnt give you clear instructions on how to clear your codes... not as easy to read as the scanned document i posted. -Brian

No 93 here, only up to 91. -Brian

So ive been b1tchin to the guys at work about how my car has been pinging. And last week I was so broke, I had to force myself to fill the RX up with 87 octane instead of the usual 91 (saved $0.20 a gallon). So, since then, the car has developed some major hesitation and pings like crazy. Im an entry level mechanic at a new shop. I work with 5 other veteran mechanics who all know their shiz, and one of them suggested I run 1gal of diesel at fillup to increase the octane. I laughed at him, and refused to do so... but he swears by it. He said a friend of his did it to his VW and helped stop all the pinging he experienced. Anyone here have any wisdom to share on this subject? -Brian

Here's a scanned image I have that ive used on my 1987 RX: -Brian

Not sure if anyone here even knows what your talkin about. -Brian

I think the EA82 manifold would flow even more than the dual EA81. Is the proof that the dual EA81 flows more than the stock EA81? -Brian

Got some footage of you J. Just have been real tired (ie. lazy) lately and havent done much video editing. Need some more stuff to edit, but no one has sent me anything yet. -Brian

Those pieces your circled should be for your tranny crossmember. -Brian

THat doesnt look like the WCSS8 Mudpit -Brian

Dunno what its doing in the mudpit thread, since its not in the mudpit. With that being said, Brian (Monstaru) your video has finally been aproved! -Brian

Usually pumps stop once the fuel reaches the spout. -Brian

Ah, you out in the Rancho Marietta area? Really need a set of good EA81 struts. Anything off a brat would work, or any EA81 wagon. -Brian

Only the hottest time of the year to drive through cali :-\ Guess I better bring sunscreen on next years road trip. -Brian

Tomorrow, yes... this weekend is booked. Might have a few min on Sunday... actually, i might be in the garage workin on the RX on Sunday. -Brian

EA81 struts. maybe even EA81 lower control arms. i need a drivers side window switch from a EA82 3door coupe. But I dunno when im gonna have extra money to start throwing at my cars again. Usually, i just like browsing and see what i might need. -Brian

Look in the passenger side corner of your engine bay, close to the windshield. Locate a small plasic jug looking thing... should have one vacuum line leading to it from the motor, and another line that leads to a hard plastic line that runs under the cowl. Take the line that leads to the motor, cut it, install a T and run your boost gauge off of that. That line is a direct line off the intake manifold and will give you a pretty accurate reading for your gauge. If you need more help, bring your car over and your gauge and come pick up the exhaust I have in my garage for you... i can give you a better hand in person. -Brian
