I never could figure out having both... it's wierd... Map FTMFW though.

no mine's fine the question was more for curiosity's sake! the bad power band is likely caused by the difference in igniton timing and lack of boost... which means there is a difference in the ecus... even thought people have said they are the same (including chiltons)

yeha I saw that after... the brat is an EJ18 which is also cool!

she had the louvers off for a while... while cleaning it up.. I wish I had an invoice to look at! lol!

cruise control is an okay tool... the truth is you will get better mileage out of a pulse and glide scenario.... pulse to 75 then neutral glide down to say 45 (or the slowest you feel safe with) then pulse to 75 again.. this really does help.. that along with extra high tire pressures (I run 50 psi in the thirteens) makes for a rough ride... but my glides are much longer with over inflated tires. the XT's low CD makes it one of the best pulse and glide cars. (I didn't hypermile the Dragon trip, either)

you know,... I bet that's how my Winona passed in Atlanta in 07 before she was MY Winona

old thread I know but what was the code??

mine's into the 40s on the highway! (does it have a spider intake or the log type?)

go walbro.... (or a large aeromotive if you'd like to never out perform your pump ever again.) so this is a brat with a 22T? sweet!

except there aren't any more here... I'd take a sedan, though.... in fact I'd trade the engine for a sedan... lol

mind if I ask what that cost you?

I did the dragon trip on 80 bucks gas total... 32 mpg average. 70 on the highway and 2nd and 3rd gear for 200 miles of dragon running... (I was taking it fairly easy though) yeah it gets near 45 on the highway at 60 ..... no official tests but yeah.... I just found the weight listed in nada classic cars guide as 2280.... (I'm sure that helps.)

I've decided to not do the swap... why would I hack up a good looking 40+ MPG car?

thought you were selling right now not buying... a starter CAN click from a really bad battery which would also make the car die.

thank you and thanks for not just telling me I am stupid... lol FWD it stays... I don't want to mess with finding a 3.9 rear end..

my franken clutch isn't working out... and honestly if I am going to have to get a different FWD tranny to get a big enough clutch for the 2.5RS motor then I may as well get a nice AWD one right? I have the rear end stuff from a 3.7 from an 85 XT I can use.. (this is on the 2.5 swap going in my 86 XT dl)

the belt turns the cam and the cam drives the distributor if the rotor doesn't spin when you crank it it likely is a timing belt.

but need tires still! need some center cap ideas... I don't like the large chrome things and I don't have them anyway if anybody knows of something flat or slightly domed that fits I am all ears! KThnxBai

does the rotor turn as you crank the car.. I bet it's a timing belt... easy fix!

I thought he was driving Rob's black 6 up there.

that's crap where did you buy it?

do you have a trike site? I am becoming increasingly interested in them especially if they can subie motors in them. (I vote for the EJ motor too.)

we have two (or 3) guys on xt.com who have done EJ20s in XTs (Vortexes, actually) I read that they used washers (spacers) to help clear the crossmember but they also had to do some cutting, ETC.

five lug swap dash surround if it isn't cracked (to sell to an XT owner) is it a good car? or not worth saving?
