April 22, 200619 yr Well. Good thing I have the spare motor. 3rd gear - 7200rpm - 10psi whats that I see? smoke coming out of the back of the car? hmmm Park.. oil everywhere. Even up in the hood scoop. Everything externally appears to be in tact. 3 miles home took 3 more quarts of oil and the light came on again just as I Pulled into the neighborhood. Haven't looked for the source yet, but I am thinking it is the rear main (brand new). I have a sneaking suspicion one or more of my compression rings bit it and allowed boost into the crank case. Thus blowing the rear main out. I'll update in a week or two when I get enterprising enough to pull the motor and look. I have a low mileage spider motor sitting in the garage. I guess its time to see how an NA spider motor like a TD04:banana:
April 22, 200619 yr In every cloud (of smoke) there's a silver lining. You were looking for a reason to do the transplant anyway, I would imagine.
April 23, 200619 yr how bout a boosted na motor with meth injection? + I'm not sure about over there in Pennsylvania, but meth is illegal here.
April 24, 200619 yr even though meth is illegal here, we produce the most in the U.S., right ahead of california....but i know deep down in caleb's heart, he wants a EJ22 with EJ25 heads and TD04 turbo.... ~Josh~

April 24, 200619 yr rofl here's the breakdown - Joining the New Zealand air force: $2000 - Bribing my way to the top: $1,000,000 - Bribing a few politicians to let the airforce have jets again: ten bucks and a transistor radio for each politician, equals $400,000 and 20,000 satisfied idio- uh, politicians - Swiping the jet engine and mount from a Tornado fighter: $50 for a crowbar and beer for the lads - Shipping to the United States: $97,950.99 for six-week standard surface mail for one "industrial strength hairdryer" so all up it's $1,500,000.99, Visa, cheque or cash. :cool:
April 24, 200619 yr If you can ship to whakatane put me down for 2 of them. My honda could use more power and Waimaks' other brat needs a new engine. KELTIK
April 24, 200619 yr why do I always have to fix you guys' typos?! just kidding by the way I work near the long beach airport will keep my eyes open for parts falling from the sky BW
April 25, 200619 yr Author So was the 7200rpm intentional? Drag? "Spirited" driving? Didn't really mean to take it over 7100.. I just kinda slipped
April 25, 200619 yr Ej22 Ftw... you know, something reliable and with 1 timing belt that rarely breaks, a coilpack ignition, and regular unleaded pump prices?
April 25, 200619 yr Author Ej22 Ftw... you know, something reliable and with 1 timing belt that rarely breaks, a coilpack ignition, and regular unleaded pump prices? True, But if I wanted reliable, I wouldn't be driving an old subaru;) Besides, I just got done driving a buddy's legacy wagon. Ick.. It has teh slowwwwww:-p I probably won't be going EJ unless a wrx motor falls into my lap for next to nothing. NA EJ22s bore me, and Turbo EJs are $$ Timing belts? I have yet to break one. Gas prices? Meh.. I spend about $20 per month on gas for the subaru. I drive way too much to seriously consider a subaru for my daily driver. New ones are too expensive and old ones are too.. well.. old.
