Car is fully operational, OBDII works, throwing a code for o2 sensor that is missing, and the fuel tank light is on because of the broken fuel sending unit.

[RCKSTR]

I'm guessing since Jeremys tuning it must be obd2? did you get the motor from ECS too? do you allready have injectors for the VF? if not, I've got a few for sale.
good luck with the swap, its quite the project for a weekend but its possible. me and my buddys did it:D

[Robk0000]

Saved #3

[Robk0000]

Motor is at my house finally. Everything looks good, well maintained not dirty. Missing a few hoses, and there are a few on there that i have no clue where they go...where can i get a hose diagram for the wrx motor?

[trunkmonkeymaniac]

I can't wait to see that thing rip when you are all done, WRX vf39 power in that light body, its gona be a monster!

[Bu11dogg2]

sweet

[Robk0000]

Wiring harness is in, along with a shiny red bottle for fluid i think its for power steering fluid? i dont remeber. but its here too.

[Robk0000]

i just opned up the entire harness and looked at all the wires...**** that im not touching it, lol. It came in a big storage tote, 35 lbs of wire. Maybe i will get back the extras so i scrap the copper and get some cash back. Hahaha

[BoostedTechnology]

Hey bud, good luck with the swap. Good to see the old wrx engine go to some use and a few more smiles. I might have some extra hoses here when I get my samcos in so I can send those over to you by mail if you grab that intake or anything also. let me know!

[Robk0000]

I got the spt intake so i wont be needing the stock one. Hoses i will most likely need, maybe a map too cause theres too many of them.

header with integrated up-pipe came in today. Pics up later.

[Murphy2012]

I am jealous that you are doing this. I am just glad that my hands are going to be a big, big part of it! Hopefully I will learn enough during this one that I will be able to do it for a car of my own oneday!

[Robk0000]

Anyone have a stock bpv i can buy, or can someone recommend a quiet non gay blowoff valve, and finally is the sensor on the air intake the maf or is it just another air flow sensor, also part # ne1?

[pjk91]

damn. it better be done before i get home Aug 8th for the wedding. Taking that bish to the track.

[BoostedTechnology]

I have the stock BOV from the same engine if you would like it PM me we can work out something.

[Robk0000]

yeah ill send you a pm, with some stuff i may need.

thanks.

[Bombay994]

I remember you wondering about hose routing etc..
The pics I took when I did my build to keep everything organized on reassembly are on photobucket

[Robk0000]

bookmarked. I am doing something special so i cant put the motor back together yet. hehe :devil:

[pjk91]

secrets are ghey. what are you doing?

[Robk0000]

u will see next week when its done.

[Robk0000]

Swapped the sti injectors, cleaned the motor, and organized my book shelf and replaced books with new parts. YAy.

[Robk0000]

Are these parts transferable from my 2.2 to the 2.0?

Alternator
Mounting bracket for alternator
Mounting bracket for powersteering pump
radiator lines

[Robk0000]

alternator and bracket are, but i still need the tmic mount, anyone that went fmic have an extra?

[Subygirl8330]

Are these parts transferable from my 2.2 to the 2.0?

Alternator
Mounting bracket for alternator
Mounting bracket for powersteering pump
radiator lines


the alternator & bracket should be transferable, if it puts out enough power. if not i have one sitting in my garage, i just stole the pulley off it. I'm not sure about the power steering, mine had come on my engine when i did my swap.

[Robk0000]

they are pretty much identical motors, except i believe they changed the design of the brackets. They still work the same, just look different.


I did come up with a few more questions today.

-There is a tube going from the turbo inlet hose to the bpv. Now with a bov, there is no point of attachment to the hose. What happens with this hose?

-After examining several wrx motors and sti motors today, i realized im missing a few parts, that im not sure are nessicary. There is a plastic pump on the drivers side just next to the fuse box, what is that and is it nessicary, also the radiator on the 2.2 is very different than the wrx radiator. Would i be better off getting the wrx radiator and haviong all the coolant lines connected or is there no real differnce?

[Murphy2012]

I think you need a WRX radiator. The BPV line can be removed or kept for recirculation, IIRC.

[Robk0000]

okay, radiator is all set.

Any clue about that plastic pump?

[Bu11dogg2]

I think you need a WRX radiator. The BPV line can be removed or kept for recirculation, IIRC.


It can be plugged or routed to your CAI.

For idle reasons it may have to go to the CAI.

[BoostedTechnology]

If you can get a picture of the plastic pump i can check it out for you. The only pump i can really think of over there is a washer motor pump but thats on the bottom of the washer tank.

[Robk0000]

yeah, definately not that one. I noticed it on 2.5 motors im not sure if its the same on the 2.0, let me get a pic.

[Robk0000]

hey terry, can you take a pic of this thing i know i saw it in your engine bay, just to the right of the block and to the left of the wiper fluid reservoir. You will see it, i think your father told me it was an electric pump something for emissions? Ive never heard of a thing.

[Kevin]

http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1468797

there some pics in this one of pretty much what your doing it looks a little rough though lol

its only 5k obo so damn tempting

[Robk0000]

a little rough, wow i doubt he did any maintenance or cleaning to that thing!

but yeah, same deal only im hoping that it will be cleaner. lots of new parts so i think it will be a better setup too. I dont see the plastic pump thing on this motor so im assuiming this pump is only on the 2.5 turbos.

[Kevin]

ohh I know what you talking about its the air pump for emissions thats on the 06-07 wrx's.
they sell delete kits for it. you don't need that.

ya that car is beat hard but its the same motor and stuff.

[Robk0000]

yup, i was told it had something to do with emissions, but i only noticed it on the 2.5 motors, thanks for clarifying that. I think all i need now is the crossmember, maf sensor and the coolant reservoir. I should be all set with the corssmeber and reservoir through nasico, but i dont know what the going rate is on the maf from the dealer? anyone

[Bombay994]

I've got a used MAF with about 30k on it, not sure if you want to go used, but its yours if you want it.

[Robk0000]

Hell yeah, pm sent.

[BoostedTechnology]

i do have a extra coolant reservoir also laying around my pile of parts someplace haha came off the same motor as well.

[Robk0000]

Well, right now i got something going with a dude on nasioc, hes going to give me the crossmember coolant reservoir and all the hoses that go with the coolant reservoir for $120 shipped. which seems to be a VERy good price at the moment. Suppose to get bacfk to me tomorrow. I will call you and we can talk about other stuff i may need.

thanks.

[Robk0000]

Update: Swap is being put off for a while, maybe October.

Electrica portion and tuning costs ALOT!

and Synaptic 3 is doing both.

[Robk0000]

ECS sells the pnp wiring kit.

Heres the catch...you need to be a shop that has the abilty to install and troubleshoot it. Im going to email synaptic 3 and see if they would be willing to order it and i will pay for it. Most likely not but, its worth a try?

[BoostedTechnology]

I can see if we can order it, but we dont have a so called "shop" and troubleshooting ability but I might beable to get it for you if you wanted. Let me know.

[Robk0000]

yes, yes. I can troubleshoot the wiring myself, its just that i dont want to spend 1 week making the harness, and thats working on it full time!

Yeah, if you could order that i would love you loonnnnng time.


:)

[BoostedTechnology]

They are contacted sir, business hours are only till 5 pm so i expect a word from them tomorrow, I will let you know what I come up with.

[Robk0000]

Awesome, thanks man!

[BoostedTechnology]

You have a pm.

[Robk0000]

I do, and i thank you.


:) good news.

[Robk0000]

1 more thing to get and Swap is a go!

[Robk0000]

Yay, bought the final pieces and am awaiting delievery of some special pieces which knowbody knows about. Which will be going in over the weekend!

YAY! cant say waht it is

[BoostedTechnology]

Let me know how the wiring is coming along :) cant wait to see it up and running!

[Robk0000]

i only opened it up, laid everything out and just made sure i had all the nessicary components. if i get a used car, i will be doing the harness myself. So it will take a loooooong time. im just going to get rid of most of the stock buttons and switches. And go diy on a carbonfiber dash. But thats only if i get another car. Which would be badass! haha

[pjk91]

are you sure you want to do a cf dash? you're already hurting for cash. focus on getting the thing running and without any quirks first. i'm telling ya it's not going to ho hum happy days every day when you do one of these swaps. there is going to be stuff that comes up! ****, i think i have an exhaust leak! my "plan" was to drop the pulley like a few months ago, but that enever happened because other stuff broke! keep a reserve in the bank...

jesus i sound like my dad.

[Robk0000]

i didnt mean by doing a whole ****ing dash in cf. You just have no mechanical skills which is why you are lecturing me about how modifiying cars CAN be a pain. Espeically if you dont want to fix it or dont know how to. which is your problem.


And you drive a cobalt. :)

Pat, we can talk about it during your wedding.

[Robk0000]

http://www.aimsports.com/images/products/MXL-small.jpg

yeah right... actually i was looking at something very similar without the time readouts and monitoring stats. They are relatively cheap. But way to racecarish for me. If i had another car, i would buy this.

[method]

Used a MyChron3 Gold on the FSAE car we built. Worked great!

Can't really see it in this photo though:

http://farm1.static.flickr.com/239/518494404_0ff418ea85.jpg?v=0

[Robk0000]

question for you then, do they record mileage? or is it just the display gauges that you need to know?

[method]

It has built in data acquisition for any sensors beyond what it normally reads. However as far as millage no. It only tracks engine on time. (kind of like a tractor -- total hours)

[Robk0000]

i just cant keep a secret...

[Robk0000]

In this picture, you see the one wire just above the crank pulley, its a single plug 1 wire. I have no idea where it goes too, anyone? Also, there is a 90 degree metal tube sticking out the front of the intake manifold, what goes into that?
http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n76/robsimprza00/IMG_1890.jpg

http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n76/robsimprza00/IMG_1890.jpg

the hose sticking straight up in the front/middle of that picture, slightly to the left of the 90* metal tube, connects to the metal tube.

the white plug connects to your power steering pump when you put it on

[Robk0000]

ahha, okay that helps alot.

[Robk0000]

might be getting an L harnes for FREE! I may be able to start the harness and get it done prior to the swap. THis would kick ASS

[Robk0000]

Just finished assembling the motor and all the bolt ons. Everything fits perfect. im still missing several parts so ill try and name them, also i cannot seem to find where several hoses go to. Pics on post 3 for assembled look.


-Large plastic Y fitting coming from just above the transmission mount. just behind the intake manifold and center of the motor. 1 of them goes to the intake manifold the other?

-The two lines on the intercooler, they must go somewhere?

-what looks to be a fuel filter, which is plumed between a sensor on the intake manifold. I had it before i tore apart the motor, now its gone...

-ontop of the throttle body there is two spots for sensors one is MAF the other is?

-All the 90 fittings on the turbo inlet, what the hell plugs into those?

-lastly, metal line for oil i think, going into the turbo, can i get the inlet tube somewhere, or do i need the vf39 rebuild kit?

[Murphy2012]

You have to get the vf39 specific hose for the oil return line. The rest of the hoses come to my house and we can take a look at everything and see what we come up with.

[Robk0000]

yeah, the hose is a tad short, but the hose is nothing special, im just trying to find all the little bits.

thanks. Come over to my place one day, you can see what i have and what i still need.

[Subygirl8330]

-Large plastic Y fitting coming from just above the transmission mount. just behind the intake manifold and center of the motor. 1 of them goes to the intake manifold the other?
i'm still debating which hoses ur talking about, if its on the passenger side, on the back side i may know which ones your talking about, but i dont like to be wrong:iam:

-The two lines on the intercooler, they must go somewhere?
they sure do :D

-what looks to be a fuel filter, which is plumed between a sensor on the intake manifold. I had it before i tore apart the motor, now its gone...
that sucks

-ontop of the throttle body there is two spots for sensors one is MAF the other is?
theres 3 sensors on the throttle body, the tps, map and iac the very top one is the idle air control, the large one thats probably still attached(i think on the drivers side) is the tps, and the smaller one, that i believe is on the passenger side is the map sensor

-All the 90 fittings on the turbo inlet, what the hell plugs into those?
these are old pics before i got appropriately sized hoses, but maybe they'll be helpful

I dont know how to describe it, its a Y shaped piece... i will take pics later today. I think in the last picture you posted i do recognize a hose bent in a similar formation. I think it goes into 1 of the two lines on the intercooler piping



-The two lines on the intercooler, they must go somewhere?
they sure do :D

I knew it!

By your description im thinking its the Map sensor.

I have the metal line that goes into the turbo, but on the oil outlet on the turbo, i know i said inlet, but on the outlet there is a 1" nipple with a metal flange that bolts up onto the turbo, i need this adapter. And i dont wanna have to buy the $99.99 vf39 rebuild kit just for a $2.50 part. :D

Ill get some pics later so we can identify all the things i need.

[Subygirl8330]

i have a retarded amount of pics, some of which may be helpful if you want to wander through my albums... feel free to ignore the few non car pics i have yet to move em :p

[Robk0000]

Finally got my rear 2 pot caliper brackets. WOW! took 2 months for these *****es. im going to try and install them next week after work one day. I wanted them in before the autoX but, i dont wanna deal with it after a 10 hour day at work.

to hot and humid this week.

[Bombay994]

did you find the part number for that? If not it's called a purge valve, and connects to the purge valve control solenoid, you might just be able to call them with this info to get the part number.

any new word about ur harness? u still getting a 2nd harness to merge? i cant wait for this to be done!!!

[Robk0000]

yeah i bought it, just waiting for it to come in. Im going to be working on it along with several other projects. So hopefully i will get it right the first time. I need to subscribe an 03 wrx to my alldata then i will start making some diagrams and such. Anyone know if tweeter will charge me and void my warranty if i wanna have them reinstall the alarm after i take it out?

[Robk0000]

Question about the above diagram, the purge valve, #23. Is that nessicary. Subaru wants $30 for it...

Swap update.
Picking the harness up tonight in portsmouth. Also, just finished the harness bar and belts. The 4 point harness from sparco is UNBELIEVABLE!

The installation uses 2 I bolts and the belts utilize quick disconnect clips if you wanna take it out. With the straps installed you are planted really hard into the seat. I mean you dont move around, at all!

i've never seen a wrx/sti motor without that valve.

[Robk0000]

After about 4 hours of labeling, the engine bulkhead harness is about 3/4 labeled!

This sucks, im only 3/4 done with the 2000 harness, i havent even started on the 03!

****!

of what, the cluster ****?

Haha, okay.

[Subygirl8330]

lol.. sounds like your having a blast..

[Robk0000]

i found the purge valve thing, it was in a box of ducati parts... Yay.


still need O2 sensors, and 2 of the sensors on the throttle body.

[Robk0000]

Pre-swap bump...


im going to be ordering the last final parts tomorrow at subaru hopefully. 2 sensors, intercooler hose and maybe the passenger side intercooler bracket. Then when i get those, i will be setting my appt with ECS to do the electrical. Yeah, i gave up on that **** 25% done with it though. Ecs will be tuning, along with electrical harness. Murph, Nate if i call him and Terrys father will be along for the mechanical merge, and anyone else who decides to bring beer. Im thinking October 17th will be mechanical starts date, but this depends on ECS's schedule. I know they were booked out till OCtober last i checked.


Also, if you can think of something i may have missed or i should be getting, please post up.

[Kevin]

nice man if you need a hand let me know

[AllWheelsDriven]

if u need any help or wat ever ill be glab to give a hand....or if u dont mind me just checking out the progress ill gladly come by. u going to the race this sunday?

[Robk0000]

Yup race sunday! The mechanical aspect shouldnt take long, two 24 hour days and it might be good. But ive never done this before soo....yeah.

[Subygirl8330]

sweet! how exciting to be so close :) we just swapped my98 legacy motor (direct replacement so it was fairly easy) in 6 hours. (plus a few problems- you can never avoid those)

[Murphy2012]

We (You MIke, Me, old man) will get the mech swap done in two days tops. You need to call the old man and talk to him about scheduling. I might have a prollem with the 17th at Jamies B day is the 14th and we might go out that weekend.

I need # 3 & 5... then i have all parts to make the engine go!

[Robk0000]

Alldata is not listing a part number for me under the names idle air control...etc

[Bu11dogg2]

Why do you need O2 sensors?

Go cattless and tune right around em :)

[AllWheelsDriven]

dont u need 02 sensors for OBDII? i kno u can tune around the emissions and **** but u need at least a wideband to tune it right

[kgj996]

You don't need all of your stock o2s, but it does need at least one to run and idle properly without going to a full standalone ecu. Your car only uses one or two to actually read your afr. The others are used to read egt to let the ecu know if the cats are burnt up or not. A wide band o2 is a must for tuning. There is no way to tune safely without one!

[Robk0000]

I have got wideband afr, boost, egt and something else...wtf was it?

Well, i just ordered the two sensors from ebay. $60 compared to subarus near $500 for the two, i just dont have the gaskets.

[Bu11dogg2]

Nice!

[BoostedTechnology]

I like what you have done with the engine so far, it looks much better than when it was in my bugeye haha. I wish you all the best of luck working out everything and get her running. Youll have to give me some detailed pics so I can post them up on our website once the web designer finished it, ARG!

[Robk0000]

Final preliminary swap bump up!

Scheduled wiring harness with ECS for the 27th of October! Bringing the car down on the 26th and hopefully ready by the weekend, tuned and ready to roll!

[Bu11dogg2]

Sweet!

Ready for Halloween?

[Robk0000]

Starting on the swap this Saturday, i wanted to get one more autoX in but, my tires are ****ed as is, so i have no chance in doing good.

Wanna help, come to me i live in loudon. PM fo details.

[Subygirl8330]

whoot thats exciting!

[Robk0000]

Bump, for schedule!

Tomorrow after work, ~3pm start pulling the stupid **** outta the engine bay.
Saturday 8AM - till the motor is out, clutch is swapped over, and engine accessories mounted on 2.0, change the fuel pump, powerwash the engine bay.
Sunday 8AM - swap crossmember, mount radiator, install new motor and cut hoel in hood.

rest of the week, gut the interior for ecs, and get it ready for the engien harness merger.


Wanna come over, food provided to those that help out! whatever is in the fridge, steak, burgers, hot dogs...

I NEED A CLUTCH ALIGNMENT TOOL btw!

[Nate8409]

Damn wish you said that sooner.

Anyone going up to help Rob from this Area? Doverish?

[Robk0000]

bombay i think is coming voer on saturday, my buddy from londonderry is also going to be there, and i think terry said he will check in later in the day.

[Nate8409]

Well I say that because you can borrow/maybe have my alignment tool I have.

I will have to look when I get home but I may have two of them. In fact I am 90% sure I have twoish.

[Bombay994]

im gonna be lending a hand, i also have an alignment tool i can bring.

[Nate8409]

Bam there ya go Rob. I wish I could make it up to help but stupid wedding lol.

[Robk0000]

I cannot believe how easy it is to get the motor out! I have everything out except the motor at the moment. Im having trouble seperating the tranny from the engine. But, radiator is drained and out, battery out, all lines disconnected and everything is working out WAY smoother than i anticipated except for the huge puddle of coolant in the driveway! oh well


Question for tomorrow, when seperating the transmission fromt he block do i have to do anything with the clutch control cable, ie disconnect or loosen it? Also, i have all 8 bolts out of the transmission, and im hitting the seal between the block and tranny with a chisel. is this the correct method? I will post pics when the new X-member is in.

[Robk0000]

Motor is ready to be popped out, im going to wait for my help tomorrow morning to do so, besides this. I ran into a problem with the powersteering pump. Unfortunately the NA pump bracket is about 3" taller than turbo'd wrx motor bracket. So, my pump will be about 2" into the turbo inlet.

to summarize what happened, i bought a new bracket from subaru for $100...ghey.

[Robk0000]

motor is not seperating from transmission. i need a mallot.

[Subygirl8330]

yaaa good luck with that, mine was very difficult as well, have you tried lifting the motor a bit?

[pjk91]

pictures?

[Robk0000]

Okay Okay!

Thanks bombay994 for all the help this morning. Taking that crossmember out would have been a real ***** all alone. But i did manage to drop the motor in and take it out twice after you left, 1 piece header up-pipes dont go in with the motor bolted down, lol.

Whats left? Well, i need to mount alternator, powersteering pump, intercooler, button down the missing bolt on the vf39 and plug in some hoses. Regarding hoses, i have a few im going to need help decidign where they go, so tomorrow i will get you some better pics along with a description. Im not writing a diy on this one because, well it was too easy. The big tmic BARELY fits right now, i closed the hood and you can hear it hit. My custom radiator fans have about 1/2" of gap between the pulleys and the fans. The motor looks big in the engine bay and im not quite sure how ecs does such an awesome job at tucking things in or hide them. Im going to play with it tomorrow morning and maybe start to strip the interior.


heres the pics.

oooooooooo!!! Did you get that baby fired up or still more to go? Oh it is prob posted up but what year WRX engine is that?

[Robk0000]

03 wrx with alot of mods...it still needs the harness merged, so dont expect to see any results till beginning of november

[pjk91]

slow.

[Robk0000]

log onto aim biatch.

[Murphy2012]

Dont call him slow! His car with the stock motor will prolly turn the same times as you SC 'balt!

[Subygirl8330]

whoot! congrats :) now its time for the waiting game

[Robk0000]

yeah, the very un-nerving painful time where i have to countdown until its done, and i cannot speed it up. :spin:

[pjk91]

lol i know. i predict 13.2 @ 106 if he gets the launch down, and really strips it like he said he would.

[Robk0000]

a bit brighter picture.

http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n76/robsimprza00/IMG_2457.jpg

I have most of teh lines hooked up, but there are a few which just dont make sense. Who wants to bring their car over so we can figure this out? :o

[SilverSubie2.5]

Looks right at home in there!:wub:

[pjk91]

probably egr and some other misc vac lines. just plug them into random nipples it will be ok.

[Robk0000]

actually, everything i couldnt find a home for i stuck them back into the turbo inlet... ECS is going to check the car over make sure everything is installed and ready prior to starting it up

[Robk0000]

Oh, and the radiator cap is hitting the hood, Not the tmic.

[Murphy2012]

So when is it going to ECS?

[Kevin]

nice progress man
you sticking with the stock trans or swapping in a 6 speed or dogbox?

[Robk0000]

ecs on the 26th, Car will be ready for hobo railroad!

[jonny-rockets]

lookin good!

[Nate8409]

What progress Rob?

[Murphy2012]

What do you mean Nate?

[pjk91]

yeah what transmission did you go with again?

[Robk0000]

stock 5 speed. it can handle the power without destroying anything. As long as im easy on launching which i am, i wont have a problem.

[pjk91]

shweet. so th eplan is to put 125+ more whp on a transmission that has 120k miles on it? put some 75w90 in it while you're at it.

[Robk0000]

no, just run it as is.

[Kevin]

make sure have a back up trans.
I shattered 2nd in my stage 2 wrx but I drive a little agressive time to time lol.

[Nate8409]

The pictures had not loaded before I posted that. I have to use anonymous ip thing since my ips are banned and it wont let me edit posts after I post them so I couldn't fix it after I reloaded the page and the pictures loaded.

What do you mean Nate?

[Robk0000]

Bit of a problem with my cat back, when i had it installed originally, the 3" flange with the 2 bolts on the sides was throw out. I need this to install the catback to the invidia dp...

Would it easier to get one through borla or where can i find one?

[Robk0000]

http://us.st12.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.com/I/fastwrx_2021_251470336

see in this picture the 2 hole 3" flange? Well, i can buy that flange but i need someone to weld it on. ANyone wanna help me out?

[AllWheelsDriven]

u might be able to find one from a local muffler shop.... i kno thats where i got mine for my cat-back i made. but the only thing is idk if they will have one that big.... doesnt hurt to try

[Murphy2012]

Might be able to aid in that Rob. Call me after you are out of work today.

[Robk0000]

left you a message. Im going to buy some stuff on friday if they have it at vip or autozone.

1/4, 1/2 3/4 3/8 hosing, radiator coolant, powers steering fluid. Some more oil, and the 3" flange.
anything else?

[Bu11dogg2]

I want to see this :)

[Robk0000]

what do you want to see? I can take pictures!

[trunkmonkeymaniac]

hey rob, you dont need to weld the 3" flange on if I am thinking of the same thing. With mine I thought I would have to as well but borla made the ends of their pipes slightly bigger then 3", the replacement 3" flange should slide right in place after you remove the 3"-2.5" flange.

[Robk0000]

right, but i dont have the 3" flange. I need to buy the flange then have someone weld it to the 3" pipe then i can slide it on. I know what you mean, i just have to get the parts.

Along with that flange i jsut realized i have no boost control solenoid.

[Bu11dogg2]

what do you want to see? I can take pictures!


I'd rather see the real thing.... kinda like having to choose between a playboy and a strip club.....

[Robk0000]

Well, the only way you are going to see it is if you RACE at the Hobo railroad autoX. On the 9th

If not, then i will hide it from you. :devil:

[Robk0000]

Got a response from ecs as far as tuning, where they go and details. $400 flat price this includes dyno fees and safe tune. The tuning is going to be done by Bishop Motorsports, just south of their shop. They had good reviews on nasioc so im not going to ask them to change it. Oh, and about that flange. Think i can get one at mineke?

[Murphy2012]

Well, the only way you are going to see it is if you RACE at the Hobo railroad autoX. On the 9th

If not, then i will hide it from you. :devil:


The autox is on the 8th, the rumble is the 9th.

I called you about the flange.

[Robk0000]

when just now?

[wagonmafia]

rob i have a tanabe midpipe with flanges on each side. there is a huge dent in the midpipe so im not gonna reuse it. ill cut one flange off if you want it. let me know.

[Murphy2012]

when just now?

Yesterday I think, left a voicemail

[pjk91]

so when is it going to be drivable? because when i come home for xmas, i'm driving it.

[Robk0000]

Yesterday I think, left a voicemail



i had a missied call from u but, i didnt get a message :(

whud you have in mind?

is the midpipe 3" if so, if you wouldnt mind letting me have a chunk this would be awesoem! Also, i need it prior to next friday, maybe today?

PAt car will be done Nov 1st.

[Robk0000]

rob i have a tanabe midpipe with flanges on each side. there is a huge dent in the midpipe so im not gonna reuse it. ill cut one flange off if you want it. let me know.



PM sent to you.

[Robk0000]

Scoop is on, Fuel pump in, interior is out, gauges are a go. Boost gague is reallly sensitve. All we need now is the flange and the boost controller thinggy!


YAY!

[Murphy2012]

Congrats man, very happy for you. Cant wait to drive it! :D

[pjk91]

how do you know the boost gauge is sensitive if the car hasn't been started yet?

[Robk0000]

blow into the hose... it read .3-.9 psi really sensitive.

[Robk0000]

interesting question i have here, lets say i wanted to go with an FMIC. Would i get a wrx or gc fmic kit? They look the same...


just might depending on how i like this tmic. I strayed away from the idea because of having to cut the bumper, but after alot of thinking it may be in stock for a nice spring install day.

[Nate8409]

Reverse manifold.

Angled radiator!

:)

[Robk0000]

i actually was thinking about flipping the manifold around. WIl it just bolt down?

[Kevin]

you have to move your alternator down. check out nasioc reverse intake thread.most people lose there ac. you will have to custom make some of the piping if you do it though. I've been thinking about doing it soon on my car.

[Robk0000]

Cosworth has an sti with the reverse manifold and looks NAsty! Alternator doesnt seem to be in the way, but i believe you. I like it!

That would be a cool spring project.

[wagonmafia]

rob call me in about 2hrs. got some stuff to do and then ill cut te exhaust. 5086153997

[Kevin]

here check this thread out
http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=807772

you can buy brackets to move the alternator I think. there might be a few ways to get around that but I think its alittle harder. I know full race makes a fmic for reverse manifolds buts it like 2k lol.

[Robk0000]

nice, no pictures though. It seems like a really good idea and i bet its more cooling than a typical mic, but im going to try something different and maybe go with CO2 spray, alot cheaper and its fairly simple between the regulators, plumbing but i would have to find a cheaper electronic solenoid to shoot the gas. I think i could do it for under $200.

But thats another project for next year. I wanna get the car running good, then i will screw around with more mods.

[Robk0000]

i'd go meth over co2.

^Time for a new icon Rob!
i'd go meth over co2.
I agree. Meth is fo teh winnarz! Along with I wouldn't want the CO2 tanks kicking around if you got into an accident. A nice puncture and watch it launch into your face.

[kgj996]

I second the meth. It is a lot safer and cheaper in the long run. Plus you can push you car a little harder on track days and autox's if you wanted too.

[Robk0000]

prolly a stupid question, but where do you get Methane? i mean, co2 i can go anywhere, and its in a 12oz bottle hidden inthe trunk. Thats alot for that meth kit even with or without the tank.

[Robk0000]

I got the 3" exhaust flange from Brandon today, its actually the same size as the pipe i wanted it to slide around, lol. So i increased the pipe size with a hammer. Worked okay, but the pipe is 2" longer than needed none of the hangers work.

Im going to cut the pipe on the bandsaw tomorrow at work.

[kgj996]

prolly a stupid question, but where do you get Methane? i mean, co2 i can go anywhere, and its in a 12oz bottle hidden inthe trunk. Thats alot for that meth kit even with or without the tank.

You mean methanol, Methane is a stinky gas produced by organic decomposition. Methanol is an alcohol that is used primarily in windshield washer fluid and other fuel additives along with a lot of chemistry applications. It costs $1.69 a gallon for washer fluid at wally world and it's a %40 mixture, which is a good mix for injection. 50/50 is the preferable, but washer fluid works fine for street applications. I just installed a trunk mount kit in my car and love it. It's cheap and easy to use.

[Robk0000]

HAHA, i was wondering about methane... Thats not bad i guess. Is meth even a noticeable cooler, i mean why not use water?

[kgj996]

HAHA, i was wondering about methane... Thats not bad i guess. Is meth even a noticeable cooler, i mean why not use water?

The mixture is 1/2 water, for the cooling, and the methanol increases octane of the fuel. Best of both worlds. Some people don't even use intercoolers with a good meth injection set up.

[Robk0000]

i know didly **** about meth injection, my original plan was CO2 and spray into the intercooler cooling the air as it goes through. I am guessing with meth since there is an increase in octane this is being sprayed into the intake?

[kgj996]

Yes, it's injected just before the throttle body. Some people run two injectors, one before the intercooler and one after. I just run one before the TB.

[pjk91]

you can run a retarded amount of timing ( at least on my eco) with meth. High compression + meth + boost = insane tq. But yeah, worth every penny. You can mix the meth at home it's not difficult stuff.

[Robk0000]

so are you suggesting a christmas gift? lol I will buy you one if you get me one.

Hydramist is made to work with Hydra ems, so if you don't have hydra, it's a waste of money.

Oh really.

Well I still love it anyway just like I love the hydra.

Okay, well back on topic... Car is loaded on the trailer, mechanically its 90% done everything else ECS will be billing me for. oh well


-this is the list i have for ecs...

Wire PLX gauges to run with car running
Leave USB cable for PLX gauges near center console area
Wastegate Actuator hosing needs to be installed to boost controller and Turbo inlet
Brake booster hose needs to be plugged into turbo inlet.
TUne car for daily driving safe tune
Merge harness with existing
2 Wired Remotes for gauges to swithc between afr/boost...etc are sticking out of radio area.
Alternator, powersteering pump need to be installed. (PS fluid resevoir is on passenger side of engine bay, red cannister)
Boost gauge line needs to be plumbed into the intake manifold.
Powersteering fluid needs to be filled.
Oil/coolant need to be primed into system, turbo, rest of engine.
Put car back to original condition as dropped off

we will have to see about that, side note: i got my powersteering bracket in, so i can mount that along with the alternator!

YAY!

[Robk0000]

bad news bump, car wont be ready for another week. Yeah another week, two weeks turned into 1 month. They found some small stuff that had to be fixed which i should have caught onto but i guess in all of my eagerness to get it done. The car ran and was tuned two days ago, and was dyno'd at 283/288 at the wheels!

Great, yeah but the car isnt done. They have stupid **** like i said i should have done but i didnt.

Powersteering line i got on ebay had a minor crack, and was dripping discovered during the test drive, interior is partially back in, Crank shaft position indicator threw a code, come to find out the wires were ripped from the connector on motor, needs to be soldered in... stupid damn sensor.

thats it, they said it may be done today, but i told them im not driving 3 hours just to find its still not done. i may go get the car wednesday.

im depressed.

[BoostedTechnology]

depressing its not done, but hey it will be done and those numbers are AWESOME! What psi are you running and when are you hitting full boost? I know when i dyno'ed that engine prior to any mods at all it was really high, 198 hp 205 ft lbs 100% stock and was done at f1dyno before they closed.

you can trust those numbers, i wish i had your torque mines not quite that high, but my wrx motor/vf39 combo was dynoed at 291 last month :D so beeeee happy.

and it will be done and done right, atleast they found the problems before you drove home, i'll go visit it tomorrow for you if you want :p

[Robk0000]

i have a few things i need to get done still before i can say the swap is 100% complete, as it stands right now the car is in complete driveable condition, it dyno'd in at 283 hp and 290 torque at the wheels. The numbers are a bit higher than what i was expecting but, im sure it will make the auto-x next season unbelievable!

list of stuff needs to be done,
-Rear o2sensor is non existant. The cable is in the engine bay and i need to do something with it, right now it is throwing a cel. I have a CEL eliminator kit i got for free from synaptic i think, install this and hope it works.

[Subygirl8330]

sweet how exciting! do you have it back?

[Robk0000]

[Subygirl8330]

sweet good luck!

they couldn't disable the rear o2 in the tune? or fail it? not sure if the o2 sim is gonna remove the cel. good luck with inspection NO INSPECTIONS IN FLORIDA!

[Bu11dogg2]

the ecu requires a readout from both front and rear O2... the only one you can tune around is the sensor in the UP where applicable.

You can trick the ECU to think that the reading from the front and rear is normal, thus avoiding the CEL.

[Nate8409]

The ecu only uses the oxygen sensors for cruising around town then it is trying to be emissions friendly.

WOT the computer refers to a table and uses that regardless of what the sensors say since they can't read that low or high anyway. Known as OL and CL which there are a whole bunch of threads about here and there.

Like when you take your car to be tuned. The tuner sticks a sensor in the tailpipe to get readings unless you have a wideband in the vehicle they can use.

I don't know open ecu so it may not have the ability to disable the light for certain codes.

Is that what you are using is open ecu Rob?

[Subygirl8330]

open source can def disable the rear o2 code, since it normally goes on when your catless. ecs tunes open source and i believe ap now.

[boost25]

:(

[Robk0000]

blew out on the way to the dyno this morning. good thing i didnt i wasnt able to go pick it up tonight.

[Murphy2012]

Already huh? Just missed your call, whats up?

[Robk0000]

i dunno, wanted to share with you my awesome clutch problem.
Suprised it didnt hold up, i mean, if i remember correctly the clutch kit was designed for 300 hp. i had 20k on the setup, but it should not have just given out like it did.

im pissed, im going to try and drink it off. but i have to go back to work in a bit. lol

[boost25]

Drunk working FTW...

As long as you are not a delivery driver or anything. :lol:

[Seraphinwolf]

clutch is no more...
Well at least it sounds like you'll be in there anyways getting Murphy's old stuff. Good luck with the next steps.

car is 150 miles away, i cant drive it...

paying someone else to install a clutch that is going to be temporary SUCKS! im really not happy, im going to baby the car for the next year because now i cannot afford the tranny swap. :rofl:

laughing in frustration! HAHAHAAHA

[Robk0000]

I hope not! :lol:


you should see what happens to a screwdriver or a nut when you drop it on the live 1200 Amp buses. im yet to see for myself, but i really hope that doesnt happen.


that would be very bad, for me and my career and everyone else that is in the hospital that will die because the power went out...


LOVE MY JOB! :D

[Bombay994]

oh and sorry to hear about the clutch, BUT....if its ready to leave the shop then why can't you replace the clutch yourself and just pay for parts? You can seperate motor and trans, in about an hour and move the motor forward to replace the clutch. Save money FTW, and as the DIY whore you know you can do it....I'll help, I've only done it about 5 times on my own.

[Robk0000]

I should, but i dont want to. its cold and im lazy i just want the car back running and good to go. I know, stupid move, but i really should leave it to them.

[FREAK]

yeah that does blow! I felt the same way whenI paid to have my clutch installed. I needed it done to leave for NY and couldnt get the time of from work to do it

[Subygirl8330]

that stinks rob! what the hell were they doing to the car to make it blow like that? was it a new or used clutch, what kind? your car will do fine with an rs tranny just no launches or 24hrs/day ass hat driving.

Its waaay to cold to work on a car outside or in an unheated garage! Are they atleast giving u a discount on the install?
