Before you resleeve, price out a replacement block or have yours thoughly checked. That rod was geting hit hard and it wouldn't suprise me if the crank was bent/damaged or the mains need to be line bored. i m only using the block from what is left , there will be 25D crank and rods in it after all ...

... woah. Pardon the ignorance, but were you driving the car when that sucker went?? thankfully No the car was sitting after it begain knocking one day - i began trouble shooting the noise in the driveway and after a few months of it running with heavy rod knock , that is this end result - exactall...

ok here is the question of the day ; this block is headed for a 2.34 stroker build , - will boaring the cylinders oversized be enough to clean-up the scars or are the scars too deep in this case ?

pardon the punn

Engine Removal Process < WorkS for Me Be sure to have a Wet\Dry Vaccume ready - you will need one for extracting fluids and catching leaks be sure to park on level ground For 5mt be sure the transmission is in _neutral_ ! ! apply park brake http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb303/N1446-W0963/DSCN0...

Next Update I rented a hoist this weekend as the EJ25D is now here in running condition - Yahoo ! Paid Vaction !! The 22T is now removed and waiting for a rainyday , as it turns out the 2.34 stroker build is pulling a 180 due to time and fund$ available - here are the pics from this weekend http://i...

i f i m installing a na motor in a SS chassi , Must i change out the turbo crossmember as well for the NA manifold to work

nothing like working outside to keep your build spirit soaring May Update : i rented the spring compressors and assembled the '93 LS rear tops to the '98GT suspension and after fighting the left side strut to fit for the better half an hour , i actually managed to install it on the wrong corner , it...

there is a black cable running from the brakes that i cut clear through when installing new suspension yesterday , the shock kicked out while i reached for the pump jack to position it - the cable contains three wires inside a black sheeth -looks to me like the abs wiring - is splicing able to fix t...

**February 2009** Introducing Caesar on the left and Brutus on the right ** I scored the '93 LS 4eat sedan in New Glasgow NS for 250 $$ for suspension & parts ; i took a bus to get the car and drove it back to the Island after repairing a leak in the fuel line ; a bit of a risk though i m always...

Journal Post http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb303/N1446-W0963/IM0003400.jpg This is the first picture of the car in September '08 after all the above mentioned; I think it cleaned up pretty well concidering . http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb303/N1446-W0963/sept.jpg I ve been into building ...

yess thankyou for that

i m saying box-in meaning bracing the suspension at the top posts with the struts/springs on either side and the sway bar connecting the bottom end together ; creating more of a trapezoid shape - containing the roll center from shifting with the distribution of weight - i am setting for tarmac / str...

ok .. in regards to the roll center , I have one more question - if i add a brace between the top posts of the suspension plus lower the resistance on the bar from 18 > 16mm and lower the car while increasing the spring rate ; will this box-in the positive roll center ? I m aiming at a forgiving set...

ok if i understand correctly , lowering the hight of the ride lowers the center of gravity + the suspension is to get "tighter" with the use of a shorter / sportier lowering spring - in turn , shouldn t the stiffness of the spring w/c the lower center of gravity / ride height / ability to ...

ok i know from the sticky section the bar is a 16mm on the 98 , and i m lowering the car a bit so i m taking out the 18mm to compensate for the lower stance , i m on the right track i believe > i m a novice on the physics of the sway vs ride height

Will the lower arms on the rear of a 98 gtwagon swap directly to the 91 ss ? -to install the rear swaybar from the 98 i need the lower arms with the brackets correct ?

- just need to know what to grab along with the swaybar -

has anyone attempted 18eenz ?

i ve a 91ssgt underway
looking to have it made for september this year , if not , spring 2010

ok i m wondering on the spring rates for the BK wagon also , i realize the rear is stiffer which izz what i m after , paired with the sway bar from the GT it should be pretty tight- someone know of the spring rate for the 98/BK legacy GT2.5 ? ? far as i m able to tell its not listed Stock and afterm...

good news and Good news ... i have 1 93 legacy LS 4eat that is a donor vehicle for the 91 ss so i have the tops i need to attach the 98 suspension , seeing what s said is correct and soon as this random white stuff dissapears i ll post you the 91tops there in kanuckistan :o i m driving the 93 until ...

..seeing this gift just arrived in "THE" local graveyard near me - yess there is only one - and it has only three subies in it .. i wHOnder.. which parts do i grab first , in order of importance for the ej22t/ej25DOHC hybrid , aside from the intake of course..it is phase 1 - i know there a...

alright i typ-oed the previous post its a BK 98 lego wagon 2.5GT
i manage the setup is similar aside from the rears being a smite taller

i ve sourced a 98 ' legacy wagon GT in fair condition and i m grabbing the suspension for a 91ss so i understand clear enough , as i remove the entire setup from the wagon , am i able to apply it directly to the 91 / or / must i use the upper and lower spring perches from the 91 in combination with ...
