[ea81t surging - throttle stop adjustment?]

I started a thread about the exact same problem a couple weeks ago.

 

http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=28929&highlight=rx+jerking

 

I did several things. Turns out the timing was way off, and 2 of the spark plug wires on the distributor had the connections receded into the boot. I fixed that and it made a large difference, but the problem still persisted slightly.

 

Then I ran 2 different fuel system cleaners as well. This also helped.

 

I also replaced my fuel filter which was nearly brand new, problem still not solved entirely. ... I'm thinking that the fuel pump may solve the problem completely.

[Got my techworks parts ceramic coated!!]

2000 degree titanium colored satin coat. Just sounds pretty.

 

 

 

Got the headers on yesterday. I don't know how Will did this in 15 minutes, because it took me a very long time. I had to replace the turbo cooling hoses with longer ones due to the new placement of the turbo, but luckily I have extra hosing sitting around.

 

I also did a port/polish on the extra turbo I had sitting around. So part of the time I spent was on replacing the turbo.

 

The results I'm very happy with. Definitely more power, and in places where it never existed before!

 

So now I gotta figure out how to finish of the exhaust system, and put the downpipe on.

[turbo questions]

If anyone cares. My car came with a vf48710, and the jdm motor I put in came with a vf28603. I don't really know if theres any difference other than the original one makes more noise, which I like

[turbo questions]

I hope not, thats the one I just took off:banghead:

[turbo questions]

ya, both the original turbo, and the one that came with my jdm engine look almost exactly the same, except some brackets are different, but the vf and serials #'s are way different

[OEM Parts List?]

what about a part # for a coil, 88 RX? napa would work.

[Just 2 photos of the RX from today.]

Well If your going to put it on your desktop, you'll need the full size version. I'll send you one.

Thats on blanchard Mtn. It was a crazy drive, tight turns on loose gravel, mud, and snow:) That thin strip of land you can see is Samish Island. I live on the middle of that.

Thanks, someday I want to get an action shot around the same corner in the 1st photo

In the las month the weather here has gone from temps in the teens, up to the 70's, and back down to snow temps. We got some snow yesterday in certain spots, so I had to go drive in some.

 

 

 

that is all.

[SHE RUNS!! But Funky Turbo...]

Wouldn't hurt to check the hoses going to the turbo for cracks, bad connections.

[RX Turbo Stock vs TechWorks Dyno Results Big Pics]

cool, I'm going to go put on my headers in about an hour:banana:

[Rally Car Pics....as promised...]

edit--nevermind

[cold weather mechanics club....]

Okay, it wasn't NEARLY that cold here, but I spent a lot of time outside or in an unheated garage working on getting the RX running a couple weeks ago. The weather got into the teens, and I think it ws almost 70 today:confused:

[Intake Manifold]

This happened to me. It was the worlds biggest pain. We spent a good couple days, heating it, spraying it, hitting it, prying it, and swearing at it. Tried an easy out CAREFULLY, yet unsuccessfully, but It looks like you got that stuck, which makes the way we finally got it off difficult. WE just kept slowly drilling down that bolt, until the intake manifold had almost no bolt left to stick to, good luck, i feel your pain.

[twe techworks header wrap]

That "dent's" supposed to be there don't remember why but I asked about it cause both pair of my header's had it.

 

oK, thanks, I was kinda wondering if it was supposed to. It's just a little odd.

 

Ok, found this place nearby that does good work for good prices. http://www.performancecoatings.com/ So, I might take my exhaust from both my subies down there.

[Subiesport Mag 'old school' Project]

Nope, in Bow...just north of Mount Vernon.

 

Hey, I live there

[twe techworks header wrap]

What the, how in the heck did that happen?

 

Not sure, opened the box, and it was there.

[RX's aren't rare here]

Hey man, where are you in skagit county?

 

I work in Burlington, live in Bow, and hang out in Bellingham a lot.

[DO NOT use bosch 4+ plat plugs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]

I've heard this on Nasioc a billion times. NEVER use bosch. ONLY use ngk. period

[twe techworks header wrap]

Nobody in Washington to do this, and I don't feel like shipping, It appears I already received a dent:banghead:

[RX's aren't rare here]

I have one. I know 2 other people that have one in town. I know where a guy with a black one lives, and I've seen a bunch of other ones around.. First day I drove the RX into town since I got it running, I park it, and directly across the street....another RX!!! Thats the northwest for ya though.

[It's on!!!!]

Hey, if you really get stuck in a rut, Let me know, as I am in bham often, and having just changed my engine, I could lend a hand.

ceramic/ jet hot coating????

[RX jerks when driving at constant speed]

Ok, haven't been able to check in often due to a fried hard drive:banghead:. But I figured out the problem. I messed with the distributor. Turns out I had done the ignition timing very wrong. I'm an idiot, and also 2 of the connections int the wires were receded into the boots. But now the ignition is all set to stats, and the RX is running very pretty. It still has a very slight jerking, but not very noticeable. I rechecked the codes, and got abnormal o2 sensor, and something about the wastegate I think, 32 and 44.

 

anyways, thanks guys
