got it all fired up... somehow there was an air bubble in the gas line btween the tank and f/p. hooked it all back up tested pressures fuel psi reads 23 psi while running... according to the specs that's pretty low... i dropped some octane booster in the tank last fill up.. and there is a very real differance in power. gonna grab a fuel pump from the wrecker this coming weekend unless someone has one they want to sell me??? this past saturday i grabbed steel for my 6 inch and tried cutting up today but the chop saw i have just isn't gonna "cut it"... its getting to hot.. so plan b take to where i got it from and have them cut it to bits for me. Superbowl Sunday morning. i went to my local pnp and snatched up an ej25 block for my soon to be ej22/25 hybrid franken... (probably wont happen till June) its not number 1 on my list for now.. its not much to look at now but a close insp of the cylinder and haven't found any kind of scoring or rubbing or weird wear... actually it still has all the honing marks... she looks very nice inside! i'm stoked!! looking to have a 6 inch this month... lets see if time and money can work its way into my life!!lol also snagged up a pair of accord front springs to beef up the rear spring rate... no more sag and bouncy bouncy hope fully with enough guidance and time and a little elbow grease i can get all this done in a short amount of time...hopefully

Wow... that was rverything I needed to know! Thank you so much...

Iv aquired a 2.5 for my soon to be ej hybrid 22/25 and wanted to know if water pumps interchange and whatnot... basically what 2.5 parts to use and what 2.2 parts to use... Or if anyone knows where to find all this info... Amd my main question being...how good are these ebay timing kits water pumps and such...any one use them and results? ?? Imm all about the budget but don't want a bomb under the hood if ya know what I mean. Thanks marcus

I'm sure grant will be making it... it's just a matter of what state his cars in.

GO HAWKS!!!! #1!!!

Just a thought... and there may be a reason as to why... but... why hasent a timing chain setup been developed... its better than the belts... my camaro has a double chain and its 600 hp capable... y not a soob????.. just a thought cuz that is one weak point next to head gaskets and cracks.

I know right?... got alot of important things done though turnin wrenches

Noone went

Yes it will be a very interesting game... so back to the dirty talk... who all is planning to go on this trip???. You keeping track north coast... and by any wheeler .. you really mean anyone??

Makes a sort of sence.. if I'm reading it right... wouldn't it just be easier to swap the axels from. Side to side???. I'm gonna tear down my rears and clean and regrease them... ill post pics of what 300k oem axels look like inside...( I've never even opened or removed them .. bood are still good but I'm sure a regrease couldn't hurt.

Could you meet up with me and I could follow you out there???.. and GO HAWKS!!!!!

Its not just boots tearing the... the female end of the cv at the trans output is also growing in size... its wobbly by the touch...1 boot blow again driver side inner... clips are pulled and boots are pushed up...

i broke mine!!! thats what ive done lately. oh and i parked it to!! she will resurrect soon though.

nothing... but when are we doing your conversion.. i know yur wheels a pretty but it could use some mud terrains..lol

Crap yur right!!!... well I'm game then!!!... count on that...should have the 6 inch by then if my old chevy can hold on long enough to fix the wagon.

That's the middle of my work week but ill see if I can get the day off... so maybe... my car issue should be a quick fix when I actually find time. So I'm maybe game on the trip.

I think a 1 inch block with the carrierbearing flipped would take out all the stress in the drivline and keep it stock geometry.

The car was running very lean so I went after the fuel pump... depesurized the system so didn't eat gas in my eye again... went to test fuel pressure unhooked the line at the engine and nothing... no residual gass at all... weird... then gas shot out of the input line of the ej...weird... ok.. so hook up the guage... engine starts...then dies... I unhook the input line at the guage and try to prime the line... I can hear the ej fp relay and the fuel pump run and cycle... but no fuel coming out the line. I remove the filter... still nothing... Swap the pump with a known good pump. Fuel comes out of the lines for a sec then stops...weird.. ok so I hook up the pump and pour in 6 gallons of gas thinking I was out... still no fuel... put it on leval ground thinking maybe the slop is affecting it... still nothing!!!... looks like the hunt is on for some sort of clog. Its war!!!!!! Next step I guess is to start chsing how far fuel is getting then y... Is there an intank screen that I don't know of?? is there something I missed??? Does anyone know???.. has this happened befor??? I drove it to where it sits just got back from the wrecker and now it don't wanna work??? Holy crap!!! Frusterating!!!

His spring rate is alot higher in the rear thanks to his hinda front coils... id bet it would take almost 600lbs to leval the rear... it could use a chop really... the back wheels almost touch the front within an inch... they are very stiff springs.

These still available??? Got a hybrid in the works

LOL SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME OUT IN BALD HILLS!!!

I have been racking miles and fixing this as they come up... recent update on the wagon tinted windows then waterpump blew up! rear wheel brearings and seals... had to make a socket to get the retaining nut out of the hub... a 36mm w/ some bolts welded to it did the trick!! interesting differance in parts ripped my exhaust off last time I went 4x4ing.. (rock) glueing it back together!!! done engine was a little thirsty so I gave it some muddy water to drink(oops) then fabbed up a fix to keep water out thanks to a fellow bord members idea that I seen a wcss15 (panda wagon) and attempted to clean the dirt out of my intake best I could and shot down the maf with some cleaner... iac is not happy at the moment but I got a replacement(thanks to kevin) and a few other things just cant think of it off the top of my head. oh and just did plugs and wires today to maybe solve to go problem but sadly its still there. I have developed a weird loss of power around 4500rpm... I think its fuel pressure related but ill look into that when I have time. I thought it was a miss but its a severe loss in power but only under long load times in that rpm... got me a little puzzled, im running an ea82t fuel pump... im thinking itr may be going or just cant supply my lead foot with enough go juice. anyone have this issue?? soon on its way... new axels again... fronts are again about to die. 6 inch lift if I can get ahold of anyone... but it will get done even if I have to make it myself, snorkel, maybe a bigger rack ill probably make it myself also and some tube bumpers and possibly rock sliders as my rockers are getting kinda rough... already got wheels in 6 lug after the lift ill drill the hubs out and swap a set of rollers I have on then go get some rubber... haven't decided on m/t or a/t tires yet... ive got a lot to do this February but it will all get done...

Im think you should have gone with 14 in wall box tubing... or beef it up how was telling you cuz in my head that does look like it will flex when off road(the spacer blocks)... just a thought.. but other than that its good to your progressing and it all looks very presentable thus far... congrats!! marcus

next time i make a trip to the pipeline ill let ya now... and as far as trails i dont really know how to explain where but just hit up the mountains and find a road and follow it or search and see where others go.

Hibernate???. Lol... wake up guys!!
