Frankenmotor dyno results
cal_look_zero replied to presslab's topic in NA Fuel Injection Engine Tech
You don't even want to see that one... Pretty much held at 13ish until 5k rpm. I got home Friday night from my trip up there, woke up Saturday and bought a perfect power. Getting it tuned in a few weeks after I fix my tranny and hopefully get tax refunds. -
Sounds like my upgrade budget just got tightened up a bit. Balls. Fortunately I have another 3.9 5mt in a 96 Legacy I'm parting out. I'll slap that in for the time being and rebuild mine. Not like I wanted to put time into learning PP6 Any good reads on doing the bearing(s)? Any recommendations on WYAIT?

Show of hands, who thinks I need a tune? LOL Getting a PP6 and heading back up to Pre in about 3 weeks. Anyone have a lead on one for sale? -
Well I have had a progressively louder and louder noise in my transmission area for the last 3 weeks, and it's pretty unbearable (for me) now. It's silent when I have the clutch pedal depressed or in neutral. Otherwise at all times I have a groan/deep whine noise. It's really bad on deceleration, and is present at all times except acceleration (Which may be a product of my loud exhaust drowning it out) So I'm leaning towards TOB, especially since my input shaft had some serious wear and I didn't know about the repair sleeves, OR it's my input shaft bearing, but I thought that would make noise in neutral as well? I just need to make it last about 3 weeks until tax time, but don't want to buy a whole new clutch kit unless I have to either. This is an Exedy KSB04 kit, but the pilot and TOB were bought from a parts store.

I use ultra grey. Oil pans, oil pumps, oil separator, case halves, etc. I know some people on here will go into a fit if you suggest ANYTHING but Anaerobic sealant. While it is better, $40 a tube and having to order online is a bit of an inconvenience to most DIYers, and I have yet to have ultra grey fail me.

Well I'm running .040s with no issues. -

Only for the 96 which had flat tops and cleared the deck. The 97+ had dished pistons. -

I can. I have the recommended .040 HG from cometic, 17k miles since my build and I flog the piss out of my car. No seepage to be seen. For all of my other gaskets (Except rear main) I used the Evergreen kit from Mizumo Auto on eBay. I used a Subaru rear main and steel oil separator plate from the dealership.
