The pump needs to be replaced due to the unknown age of the motor. Both my friend and I are running the STi pump in our ej257 hybrid builds with success and figured it would be good to throw on this motor seeing how we beat the living snot out of it. We get good deals on parts and can not find a rea...

Yeah, if we hone it we will re-ring it. Kinda stupid not to since your there.

During our last ice race our motor decided to spin the rod bearing on cylinder number two. So now its time to fix the old broken 22t so we can keep on racing. Our plans are to keep it simple and reliable. As of right now the plans are: -Run a hone through the cylinders, reuse pistons and rings -Poli...

They are for Ice Racing, not RallyX.

Well the rod bearing on cylinder #2 decided to spin. It looks like we caught it just in time because the damage is so minor. The bearing is still completely intact and the crank looks pretty damn good still! We are hoping that we can just just polish the crank and slap in some new bearings.

We need a windshield banner!

Would you have a link for any information pertaining to that? I would like to look into it as I have a almost complete ej257 laying around.

Has anyone tried using ej257 heads?

Will do. I know we get a pretty good hook up already being a actual shop and all. Itll be interesting to compare prices though.

We done blowed up our motor. Gotta drop money into that now....

Haven't had the time to dedicate to the video yet. Been out shooting guns all day to make up for the lack of racing. Now we are on our way home from the race (6hr) drive for us, and I am trying to get some homework done.

We got 8 timed runs in before he heard it so I do have some video!

This weekend was a HUGE fail. We had to shut down after the 8th run due to a knock in the motor. It sounds like this ej22t decided to act up and spin a rod bearing. Such a disappointment as this weekends race was the most anticipated race of the year for us. There is nothing like going wide open on ...

That I can not tell you. I would ASSUME so, but not 100% on it. I can tell you for a fact that the WRX's very from year to year. And the transmission case from the 90's is different then the current 5mt.

No, Things change from year to year and model to model. I made a Frankenstein transmission for our SS Legacy out of 4 different transmissions. Let me tell you, this was a BITCH! Differences between gears and the actual case very throughout the years. I found it to all be trial and error.

Got a few more things done the other day. Slowly getting closer and closer to the race this weekend. Installed my old WRX boost gauge into the center dash vents. http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/185744_185521024818177_160756103961336_352748_4167324_n.jpg I think we will actually be abl...

Yup. Any subaru parts I buy now are for that thing. My 300hp wrx is a grocery getter now.

Welcome! We have a 91" SS race car that is always looking for more sponsors!

Interested in the RSB!

Here is the Blue top Optima that we got! http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/184774_183159858387627_160756103961336_341318_6013754_n.jpg And i got a little creative at work and made a heat shield out of a pair of old used BMW exhaust manifold gaskets.

We have been experiencing some electrical issues at the races and could never duplicate them at the shop. Went to pull the car in the other day and guess what, it didn't want to start! EXCELLENT! This means we can finally track down the problem! Got the car inside and checked the battery, it only ha...

Wow man! That was soooo cool. I would LOVE if we had something like that around here. What kind of BOV on the car? What mods? Also, for your next video, you should leave the music off, or at least turn it way down. I for one would rather hear the motor/bov. :D In any case, nice job, and looking for...
