Someone rang?

my guess being that unless abused or ran long along time with 0-low oil psi that the softer metal of the bearing took most of the abuse like it is supposed to and the crank "should be good" take a fingernail and drag it across the crank bearing surface if it catches/hangs up.. yeah it needs machined as far as machine work goes they can remove enough material to make it perfect again problem is .. how much material does that involve you can get over sized main bearings to account for that not the greatest idea in my opinion but. it works and if you can't afford much like me then its better than nothing just my breakfast vodka induced .000000000002 cents take the crank to a shop have them inspect it and give you a guesstimate on how much they have to remove and the price to do it then go find out how much oversized bearings will cost to fit that crank if they grind it down then try and find out the price for a good used stock /non ground down crank and bearings and compare it to the machined crank with oversized bearings and then go with what you can afford thats pretty much what i would do and in fact i bet i will be doing i soon in the near future unless i can dig up a runing turbo motor for my rx so i can drive it and take my time building a super poor mans motor that will alst longet than i bet i live woot!!!! lol

heh bov's are not just for riced cars they do actually serve a purpose atomospheric one's are just louder and make people next to you say WTF??? what kind of intercooler do you plan on running? as far as a twin turbo needding 2 of them well.. usually a twin setup is two smaller turbo's that spool quicker than one single large one but most of the time <not always> and are almost just as efficient in the upper boost ranges as far as placement goes if your using say like a wrx type of intercooler it already has a factory spot for a blow off valve if your either going without a intercooler <not a good idea> or with a aftermarket or junkyard unit that you have to make up connections for then pretty much anywhere just before the throttle body in the intake pipe is fine and you run the vacum line that attaches to it to either a unused port or you add a "T" splitter to some spot on the intake manifold maf based cars like what you "should" have usually need a recirc style of blow off where you can pipe the vented air back into the intake system between the maf sensor and the turbo inlet otherwise between shifts you will most likely encounter a backfire/poping noise in the exhaust sometimes you can get away with a vent to atmosphere type depending on who makes it and how much you can adjust the opening point me personally i run a hks ssqv bov but then again i am also not running the stock ecu or a maf sensor but they supposedly work well on maf based injection setups after you mess around with the adjustment screw on them

that place i went to do the sand drags at in the rx has lots of trails mud pits the sand drag track plenty of parking and camping spots a huge atv/motocross area we could prolly go play on plenty of room for a rallycross area anyone think i should go talk to the owners and see if they would be interested in it?

ahem cough cough DOH!!!cough dam.. allergies

bad ground? between battery/body/dash? once everything warms up and expands it complete's the circuit?

having seen some of this guys other threads... i still welcome him but question his motives but then again i am naturally paranoid

heh i had the idea to box in the ifs setup quite a while a go and then do a multilink suspension on teh ifs boxes front and rear those that know me can verify my idea hehe actualy i refined it so the ifs suspension was on and offroad and the multilink that connectected it to to the frame was pinned some how so it was solid and did not add body roll ect until you pulled out the lock pins so you could have a street and off road suby

my thinking is those are ore like mud collecters than skid plates... if i was the type who had time to go play off road i would locate me some nice 3/4 to 1/2" steel plate and make some real skid plates once.. that could hold the whole weight of the car just on the off chance i did hit something sure they would be heavy .. but hey at least you end up with a nice place to put a floor jack so you can raise the front end all at once hehe

hijack away lol and umm you will need to drill and tap the hole in the block for the knock sensor and also swap the distributor over i would bet if whats been said is how it works and it infact does control the timing directly instead of the ecu doing it on the older turbo's personaly if i was going to the trouble of boosting a non boosted motor i would covert over to at least some kind of injection system either stock or in my case not so stock

chu needs to read bettar senor! he said non turbizzle charged hehe silly junkie

oh man .. why is all the cool stuff so far away from me grr i think if the rx was running it would be fairly amusing to see just how well it would do on something like that

want to try and use it as a knock interface for my megasquirt and edis setup hehe hmm i thought i recalled seeing a wire in the diagram running to the ecu maybe its just a signal wire to tell the ecu its knocking and to trip a check engine light if it knocks for to long

might i suggest ditching the scoop and go with a cowl induction type of setup .. you know to keep the rain out of the air filter but still produce the result you are looking for?

according to my limited books i have on the subaru wiring /ecu it seems that the actual knock detection is done outside of the factory ecu ? and then piped into the ecu for timing control sorta like a after thought during the design process so where is the small box that listens for the signal from the knock sensor located at? anyone know where or what it looks like or if it even exsists?

aw crapzors as usuall.. its a saturday i got back to work that night.. so as mucha s i would love to make it by the time i got up there got a tree and made it home well crapzors if someone wants to grab me a small tree pm me please

dam you tizzle ya beat me to the fmic comment ... and someone beat me on the lights comment and wait!! hah nifty not so stock front grill !!

i have no longdistance and need to get ahold of him somehow thanks

so who has the best prices for like a rebuild kit for a ea82t? just in case i have a worst case scenario... and well when do i not have one i still have no idea if the motor is toasted from 0 oil psi stil waiting on a timing belt

aww.. maybe thats it... i don't roll mine to redline mostly due to the mile son the motor i try to limit my shenanigans to about 5500 rpm and only on occasions

cool .. i wonder why my injectors don't seem to be a limiting factor on my setup i think i rarely see anything over 60-70 duty cycle according to what i see on screen i will go back over my datalogs in case i am confused oh and congrats on the success.. amazing how just bypassing the stock ecu has such a dramatic effect huh as i sit here waiting for timing belts oh and provided i have not killed my motor we really need to play follow the leader or something hehe be curious to see how my tired msnedis's motor stacks up against your e-manage you know we have a fairly large off road park like thingy down here with side by side sand drag tracks hehe i have yet to explore the whole area but i bet if ... actually .. go look for my other post i am about to make

anything between the outside world and the inside of your combustion chamber is a restriction regardless of how small or big it is if it is in the airstream it distorts it and as a result changes how it flows from a pure airflow standpoint the less distortions/restrictions in the airstream the more airflow into the motor same thing with the exhaust wjm your ms experiences are from the standpoint of pretty much everything being handed to you with out having to learn how to make it work <honestly no offense intended> of course i could be wrong maf sytems do have a their benifits over map systems and vice versa one of the things i never could under stand on maf systems is why measure intake air temps on a turbo motor before the air is compressed and heated up/cooled down if you have a intecooler i mean sure an exact airflow measurment going into the motor would be ideal but the density of that amount of air changes depending on how hot or cold tha air is right? so if you have cold air going into a turbo and hot air comming out on a maf system would you not in fact be injecting fuel based on the cold air mesurement that gets heated up under boost without a intercooler and as a results mkes your on boost fuel mix really rich ? maybe i a confused as usuall

ummm since when or did i miss something??

cool curious as to how this all ends

laptops with enough power to tune the ms systems are dam cheap megatune can theoretically run on a old 486 cpu and if your not afraid of wiring then you can ms for a lot cheaper like in the 250-280 range
