    EJ25...ORRRR ?

    I would pull the motor and see what is reusable. Then base parts and price from there. If the block is toast, you can use the block halves from a legacy 2.5. Honestly, shops charge wayyyyy to much for built engines for these cars. Its insane. 4-6Kish. I can build one for around 1K. I could...

    top mount or front mount intercooler?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    That would help. Will the stock pump accommodate more nozzles? Is your automatic? Mine you just push to spray it when you want but it doesn't come on like my evo did in automatic mode.

    top mount or front mount intercooler?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    For the intercooler sprayer, you may want to upgrade. The stock system is designed for stock. Once you go bigger turbo generating more heat, you may want to consider and upgrade. Like this:

    top mount or front mount intercooler?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I agree. There are a few things to take in consideration as well. Such as, power level, type of racing, will this be your DD, etc... With a FMIC, you will notice a lag in building boost but you will make better gains due to the cooling efficiency. Higher HP builds you may want to consider a...

    CEL P0302 help

    Probably the 400whp mark. Dont really need more for a DD. Its way cheaper for me to build the block I currently have. 500 pistons 300 rods 100 bearings 240 gasket kit 40 hone 1080 total I did a leak down test and its past the rings. I swapped the injectors from 1 and 2 to see if it is an...

    CEL P0302 help

    I thought bout that as well. Maybe using a bore scope and checking the ring lands to see if it needs a ring set.

    CEL P0302 help

    No warranty unfortunately. I know the guy that rebuilt it. He seems to do pretty good work. It lasted 13k miles though. I was hoping to get another 100k out of it. He said the block was honed and all new rings were installed along with ACL bearings and head studs. I will find out once I take it...

    CEL P0302 help

    Here are the results: Cyl 1: 145 Cyl 2: 125 Cyl 3: 150 Cyl 4: 150 The engine was warm and it removed the brake booster hose. The P0302 came back when I drove home proving that the coil was ok. (I swapped the plug and coil to Cyl 1.) The plug looked fouled again. I put the clean one in cyl 2. I...

    CEL P0302 help

    Hmm. Cyl 1 is on the left and cyl 2 is on the right. Cylinder 2 plug looks way fouled from misfire. I will do the compression test again today after work following those instructions. It was done about 20 minutes after driving. I did check all grounds but I will double check the connectors and...

    CEL P0302 help

    So this weekend we went to a wedding across the state and everything was good until the CEL came on with what seemed to be no symptoms wrong with the car. I went to a local autozone to pull the code and it was a P0302. I disconnected the battery later on to clear the code. The CEL stayed off for...

    A/C not working.

    Did you check your cabin air filter? If it is clogged, this could cause a lack of airflow to the evaporator to cool down the air?

    A/C not working.

    For some reason I missed the 4th page. We need to hook up the machine and monitor the high a low pressure side when the system is running. This will explain whats going on. You may have a restriction or something going on with the evaporator core.

    A/C not working.

    Hey, you know you have a certified mechanic local to you right? Lol. That would be me. I have access to an A/C machine to use free of charge. You only have to pay for the freon since my friend buys it for his shop. I also have access to his shop as well with a hoist. The pressure in the system...

    HELP! Grinding gears....WTF?

    It sounds like a syncro issue. TRE does STi transmissions. Heres the link: http://www.teamrip.com/ He's currently doing my evo trans. He had an STi trans being rebuilt when I was there. They are located in K-zoo. They do amazing work.

    Testing a new turbo coming to the market.

    I installed it last night. I couldn't wait. I got my new silicone inlet tube. Pics will be added later since it was dark out when I finished. That was fun.. It took about 4 hours for the full install.

    Testing a new turbo coming to the market.

    A tune. Maybe some window tint. Just put the summer tires on. It will need pads and rotors by winter. Maybe a lip and paint. I really want the stock STi wing but people want an arm and a leg for it.
