Caboobaroo Posted February 4, 2010 Author Share Posted February 4, 2010 Oh man, I haven't updated this thread for a long time. More things have been done since the last update. I got all the intake/PCV plumbing in and done, had to replace the crappy F-pipe since it broke. PS lines are the EJ22T down to the ends of the flex lines, then I had EA82 ends put on so they mate up to the EA steering rack. I also cut the crap out of the core support for the EJ22T radiator to fit. Got the EA81 A/C slim fan to fit between the radiator and the PS pump with about 1/2" of clearance. Still need to figure out the other side as far as a fan. Wiring harness is in and a couple wires still need to be spliced together since I didn't want to splice them out of the car and then run into an issue of it being too short. Everything else is done though as far as I can think. Oh well maybe not the heater hoses and a couple bolts here and there.... Here's a pic, the rest are in my gallery. http://rides.webshots.com/album/555167621jgSQVh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eulogious Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Good work! Looks like lots of progress has been made. Is it running yet? Keep it up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbone Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Looks like the race is on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboobaroo Posted February 6, 2010 Author Share Posted February 6, 2010 Not running yet but she's close I hope. Not much left to do. I gotta do timing belts in my XT6 though and since its my daily driver, that has to come first...:-\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mykeys Toy Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Rob its not really a race.. The clock starts when you start the project. Russ is dreaming big I will give him that, but just doing a little at a time instead of all at once he would have been driving this car a few years ago. Then it would have beena series of small projects and not ginormous one. Hurry up Russ! Mykey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caboobaroo Posted February 8, 2010 Author Share Posted February 8, 2010 This still isn't done?!!? Don't forget to put oil in it! No still not done. I lost motivation awhile ago for a few months but I've had a hair up my @$$ in the last couple months so stuff has been getting done. I've been trying to get a few other things done with it too like '05 STi engine mounts, fitting that radiator in there and figuring out what fans I want to run. Oh and there's oil in it:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboobaroo Posted February 13, 2010 Author Share Posted February 13, 2010 So who wants to come help me get this beast running? I've got some extra cash and can buy pizza and beer or something? Suberdave maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caboobaroo Posted February 14, 2010 Author Share Posted February 14, 2010 we can plan it for a few weeks out. I have to work this weekend and am going to be in Portland next weekend to help the g/*** move some stuff up here:banana: I'm usually free Sundays though if that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboobaroo Posted July 11, 2010 Author Share Posted July 11, 2010 Woo woo! Progress is slow but continues! I'm currently working on the exhaust for it since it was another thing I needed to do. Picked up an ERZ 3" bellmouth catless downpipe with a broken hanger and an Esplier JTC-500 catback from my buddy's '05 STi monster. I got the downpipe fixed yesterday and will be installing it today. Then I might hit up the junkyard to see if I can find the 3AT crossmember I need and see what I can do to make it work. I also have all my electrical stuff at the house now (Power Probe, DVOM, etc.) so I can figure out what's going on with my harness. Time to get crack-a-lackin!

Caboobaroo Posted July 12, 2010 Author Share Posted July 12, 2010 Nope, trying to get other things done and bills paid. Kinda on a back burner and I work on it when I'm not totally exhausted:-\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboobaroo Posted July 16, 2010 Author Share Posted July 16, 2010 HOORAY for progress!!! Yesterday I took my harness down to Suberdave's and we went through it checking it out. Glad to have another set of eyes on it since I was going crosseyed everytime I'd look at it. Did a couple small connections, figured out all the other loose ends and its ready! I came home yesterday, put it in the car, found out my fuel pump is no worky and stopped. Went onto do yardwork instead:rolleyes: I just ordered a NEW Walbro 255LPH pump since the used one I have is crap. Now I just gotta wait for it to show up, along with a new oxygen sensor, new serpentine belt, an alternator, and a few other small items I've been needing. With any luck, I might just get a trip permit and bring it to the show instead of the XT6:rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbone Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 I would offer to be your chase car, but I want to be able to make it to the Show before its over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caboobaroo Posted July 17, 2010 Author Share Posted July 17, 2010 But IIRC, Rob has had more issues with his RX breaking down on the way to WCSS in the past then anyone else I know:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caboobaroo Posted July 19, 2010 Author Share Posted July 19, 2010 So got more work done... then another problem arose. For the harness in and connected and for some reason the fuel pump relay isn't getting grounded through the ecu like it should. Everything else checks out good... bad ecu maybe?

Turbone Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Run a separate ground? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
