  1. so it whould be the cats that are to cold ? or just not the temp the ecu whants to see we are pricing out what it whould take to replace all heat shieds on one of theese cars to get a idea if its even fesabble to fight thiss code or leave it be
  2. i'm realy thinking that the 02s need to be insulated to keep heat in the senser i wonder if some chevy spark plug wire boots over the o2 may help
  3. i'm 80 a hour and gess 10 hours head surface x 2 150 and head gaskets valve cover gaskets timing belt water pump coged idler pully oil/ fillter coolant and any other thing we might have missed gess about 2000 $

  4. hose on ps side of intake that gos to vacume storage pot
  5. i think brake fluid or chemical reaction i had rebuilt the trans was just a core from pile when i took it apart the coating was ok but was more than 3 years ago and 4 engines and 6 race events was defanatly somting iv'e never seen the trans shure dident like it. Its good now shifts hard and has a 4000 high stall ( holy crap ) did that kick it in the pants my 4 piston toyota brakes cant hold it back hitts 3500 and drives past the brakes
  6. The trany pan in the buggy (uses a 92 legacy turbo trans) all the teflon coating seperated and got sucked into the fillter and pluged the fillter and smoked out the clutches has anyone ever seen thiss happen before is a new one for me the trans did get hot but you would think the teflon could hande heat it lost evry bitt of coating and sucked it all into fillter weridest thing iv'e seen thiss year
  7. so this is somting iv'e never seen before the teflon coating in the trany pan seperated and got sucked into filter and restricted the flow wreaking the clutches anyone seen thiss before ? was very odd mabee got to hot anyway new clutches and fillter and put in the stronger forward pack out of outback trans and the high drum and a custom built 4500 rpm high stall will try it today and see how it works now
  8. yes but the subaru dealers deny it exists and tell me no reflash avalible but there tech tells me they take the subaru scaner and reset the ecus all the time but they will not tell the public is a big secret round here
  9. surface heads ! do not use a rotory tool to clean block just razor blade and very gental to block
  10. i put a 91 2.2 in a 2003 impreza other day just the short block and used the 2.5 shoc heads and intake had to use 2.2 turbo gaskets and slightly modify them and the timing belt was a little tight had to trim the adjuster a slight bitt ran very good and still running no problems dident even notice any power diferance and the girl saved over 2000$ on the job 2.2 bottom end 500 $ 2.5 bottom end 2500$ and the 2.2 bottom end is way stronger
  11. i tried a o2 spacer on the 02 forester will use it as a trail car see if it helps i also thought that wraping the o2 in header wrap to keep it hot might help try and keep the heat in
  12. bett its the heat sheilds i have had to remove many because of under car damage and rusted out and loose so most of theese cars have no heat shields or damaged ones the salt and rough roads kill them quick i never thought it could set codes mabee some header wrap will help keep heat in or have it powder coated or somthing is hard when have no answer for customers
  13. the vidio dosent do it justice the tough truck i whent to on weekend was way better beat the crap outa her till it wouldent move and fixed it beat it agian no broke pistons and ran nos all weekend well if you guys were wondering about runing mix match pistons seems to hold up dosent even shake or vibrate and thiss engine got pushed hard
  14. ran wicked no misses no broke pistons runs better now than day one ran the nos no problems was fast on the tough truck course got some good air broke 3 axles and welded first gear got 3rd fastest time trough pitts thiss pitt was realy deep pushed mud with engine the whole way and compteatly sumerged it in mud still works good the engine held together well enuff to break evrything else so must be good
  15. 90 idle motors likes to gum up just had one stalls when going round town ok on hyway idle motor was pluged with oil and carbon and struggling to move
  16. all mising the very first step comp test then start to diagnose problems if comp is low will never run good my gess plugs and wires or burt valve or low comp
  17. if you look in your left over harness parts you may find the same diodes they use them in ac or use the other curcut in your damaged one is the same
  18. just use the green and black wire to turn on the factory feul pump realy and do not need legacy one just swap out the signal wires
  19. funny my 79 brat i just restored has a engine from apolo motors to funny has the same tag on valve cover where is that engine shop any ideas ?
  20. one note replace the spring clip in back of fork it gets worn and alows the fork to wiggle around lots of lube to is commenly overlooked make shure the pivot ball has not worn to far into the fork
  21. just keep geting them 01 outback 02 forester 01 outback 99 forester 99 impreza 02 impreza 99 legacy 02 legacy 98 outback 03 impreza all 420 codes in last two weeks i have not been able to track the problem down cats are ok o2 sensers ok cant find what all theese cars have in commen starting to think its a problem with the calabration of subarus ecus to many cars with same codes and no problems any ideas boys ? is driving me and my clientele nuts
  22. has a nitros foger in the intake i had to small of a pill in the feul side was running 0.28 nos and 0.34 feul was to lean have turned it down to 0.22 nos and 0.32 feul. But i think the piston may have had a problem i did a comp test before engine was run and was 150 150 145 120 the 120 is the one that failed the new one is 155 and the hole was not so nice i think the piston may have been cracked or scratched anyway runs good now race on saterday with a tough truck event ( NO MERCY ) for the craper !
  23. well it has one stock piston one #1 hole so we can compare and see witch one breaks first anyway if there was any doubt about the balance of theese engines 3 of one kind and one of enuther and defanatly not the same wheight runs very smooth seems to be ok was some defanate detanation damage i think that the oposed motor cant handle the nitros the top side ran lean and bottom side ran ritch
