i have owned several stepped pipe header pipes for motorcycles, lotsa welds, like the twe pipes. every manufacturer told me not to wrap it, because it would crack. not to mention, that on a street car, it will get dirty and ugly very fast.

blingage!

thats some good info, can we cut ours off?

fur da er27?

i havent seen it adressed too much with subarus for some reason. but id want a big cam, with 10.5 or 11:1 compression, with some adjustable cam gears.

hes a hotwire guy afaik

very nice, i am now a believer... unless that sheet is hacked =]

might seem crazy, but i have an xt6 engine, and i will never use the air conditioning compressor(unless its for an air compressor). so im thinkin about stickin another alternator over there. mostly for backup, if one frys out, i just switch wiring over to the other one. can anyone think of a stock bracket that would help. i cant find my ea81 alt bracket to check.

man, a 2 wheel tranny in ther would make for a reely fun drift car

like an adjustable regulator! on the return line that little hat thing on the pump is a vibration/pulse damper, not a regulator.

ya, i was measuring up xt6 to ea81 front calipers last nite, and it doesnt bolt up for sure. seems like it would be hard to do without the whole 5 lug swap stuff.

the rear is easy as hell, the front on the other hand... not sure if im gonna stick it on my ea81 just yet. i think it will need some welding.

ive never cammed a subaru but... usualy when you cam a motor, unless its very mild cam, you loose compression, because the cam is open longer, and all that tech. stuffs. so uless you bump your compression too, a cammed na motor will run crappy gas and like it.

amen on the weber comment. i have ditched two webers in favor of efi. i have seen turbo subarus in the junkyard with 200k on the ticker. if you take care of them, they are no more problematic than a subaru without a turbo.

a whole car would be a cool idea, but all you realy need is the engine, harness, and the computer. that leaves a whole lotta legacy to get rid of.

you need to put some restriction on the return line. like a fuel pressure regulator thats adjustable. from say 1lb to 9lbs, then you dial in what you want.

alaska huh. is it realy cold? brake fluid soaks up water. if its very cold my brakes will do funny stuff, presumably due to water in my lines =/ maybe she just needs to be thawed out. if you pushed some ice behind the piston, that could lock it up.

since that crank looks bad, id say that it had water in it at some time, like a blown head gasket. the water washes away the oil, and lets metal to metal contact happen. this is the only reason i wont drive on a blown head gasket. lower end problems. it can wear it out so bad, that your oil pressure wont get high enough, because of huge amounts of play in your lower end bearings. just letting a motor sit for 6 months or so can give you pitting. looks like the ring rusted to the sleve for a while too.

it comes in all around, that thing wont float , so its not air tight =] i had a nasty backfire, an exh leak anywhere can make it happen. mine was one right behind the first cat, and it would sound like a cannon when it went off. blocking the air suction valves is a good idea. the other thing that can cause them is a loose timing belt.

i have loads of stopping power with just 4 disc brakes. get that rx DRIVING, and try out the brakes. no need to upgrade. if it doesnt work great, flush the lines, new pads and rotors, and your set. in my experience master cylinders arent gonna give you any more stoping power. just more pistons in your calipers untill you get tires the size of subarubrats the 4 disc works great.

yup. as far as i can tell, the ea82, and er27 discs are the same part, except the xt6 uses heavier damper springs on the hub. so its all heavy duty xt6 stuff, with a small hole for my tranny, and a small pilot bearing. and a special TO bearing...

why, when i can run an xt6 flywheel now. with more holding power than i will ever need... till i turbo it =] the xt6 flywheel weighs 2 lbs less than the ea81 flywheel.

thats the cool thing, this is a stage three for the xt6, with the small hole for my 4 speed tranny. the plate is ceramic/kevlar, and the PP is heavier than a stock xt6 spring

i figured it out, with lots of help from this guy in north carolina. the TO bearing i need to make it all fit together is from a nissan pickup, from the 80s. stage 3 clutch on the way =]... stage 3 for an xt6 that is:slobber:

ok heres the key! an 80s nissan truck to bearing! on the way, in the mail, with a kevlar/ceramic disc... stage 3! :banana:
