Caboobaroo Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 I finally decided to quit being lazy and do some work on it. The lower portion of the spyder intake has been on for awhile but I've been trying to deal with the upper since it was having some fitment issues with the TD04. So I was looking at some engine pics of SubaruTex's RX and noticed that he had reclocked his throttle body 90* which gave him better fitment of not just the intake but also with the intercooler as well. Now its time to finish the vacuum lines, get the one piece of piping I need for the intercooler, get the intercooler put in and see what happens. Oh and also fix the little fuel leak at my tank since I don't think one of my connections is tight enough. Give me about a week and I might have blown it up already knowing my luck with the car but its all about learning! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caboobaroo Posted January 28, 2006 Author Share Posted January 28, 2006 well maybe I'll be lucky and it'll seem like it has so much power that I won't get into it very much. I'm used to driving a '84 Brat with an EA81 in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddy Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 what do you mean? what engine does it have? ej22 or ea82t? but that suby sounds juicy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboobaroo Posted January 28, 2006 Author Share Posted January 28, 2006 stock EA82T with a modded uppipe, TD04, Megan Racing bellmouth downpipe, spyder intake, GReddy Profec II B-spec EBC, matching turbotimer, and AEM cold air intake. Luckily, my EBC isn't hooked up so no cranking up the boost yet. New engine will have a rebuilt carbed bottom end, gen 3 turbo heads with oversized valves, Delta 260 street cams, TWE header, blah blah blah... you get the idea;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hondasucks Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Yeah it's a 2.7, but I have one in my shed all ready for it, just have to put it in :-P Thanks for the offer though, Bill...
