I learned first hand that Ciper is very passionate about his love of Subarus (and many other cars, for that matter). That I can appreciate.

I got another engine Saturday. $137 for a 149K EJ22 from a car that got mauled in the ass. I had it pulled in 2.25 hours, working by my self. The engine collapsed a wheelbarrow which I had to wrestle almost 1/4 mile back to the counter. Then I had to lift the engine into the back of my truck by myse...

It was running pretty smoothly before "the event". You can put your hand on it and feel something getting beaten apart in there. Sounds like hellacious rod knock. And there is bearing metal in the oil. It's settled, I'm getting a long block Sunday. I'll keep this one around. There's no poi...

I hate that the engines only have 60 hp, and you have to weed though all the crappy parts on the market before you can find the good ones, which cost too much. And I can't tune dual weber's very well. That's why I'm here. :roll: I realize this is an economy car in the very essence of the word. That'...

That Justy beater story...That's me, you know.

And yes, I did jump it backwards over some railroad tracks while a train was coming. There's something about almost dying that makes any old story better.

I am the self-proclaimed Master of blowing up indestructable engines without trying. This includes a slant-six, I was just cruising when it holed #5 piston. This engine had something like 214k on it when i got it. I started it when I pulled it, it ran good, a little valve noise. When I initially got...

Seeing how I blew up the EJ22 in the back of my beetle without even trying. I had just blown a spiderweb (this project has taken me a while) out of the MAF sensor housing and I was excited that I may have found the problem of why this engine wouldn't rev over 3000 rpm. That was it all right. My Fath...

I wonder what a restyled Dodge Aries will look like 20 years from now...

First, i'd like to thank those who helped me out. I do have a couple lingering issues, though. I keep getting codes for MAF and idle air controller. They have both been replaced with some used parts. It's no longer the "wrong Maf sensor" code but the "abnormal voltage" one. I'm a...

That's fine with me.

Maybe I'll withhold the pic of my homemade exhaust system. My friends think it's cool, but it might be pushing the limits of cheapness.

It's on the USMB if you wanna see. In the new generation forum.

All right, you two have convinced me. I'll look into it.

But I posted it on the other site!

One more

No, I didn't clean anything up. I just stuck it together. Wanna make it look natural, for, you know, old VW's.

I cant get these onto my yahoo photos thing, so I'm gonna see if I can cheat.




Let's see if that worked.[/img]

Yes, i'll take it. I feel better about cutting up a part that no one wants anyway.

I finally took some pics, I'll probably have them up in 3-4 hours.

Will you take Paypal?

Nice, Ciper. Mine looks sort of similar, but I got greedy and took off too much.

Does anyone have an oil pan and pickup they want to sell?

Acording to the textbook again, up to 30% of a 2-stroke diesel's cooling is accomplished by the scavenging of the cylinders by the blower.

Still need a big radiator, though.

The light in the ecu acts like the cel sometimes, right? In which case, I have knock and MAF codes, and a dead idle air controller. The maf codes might be from when i had the wrong MaF on it, have hitachi one on it now to match the ecu. I know the IAC is dead, because the giant vacuum leaks are the ...

I can't make my arguement sound right. Stupid textbook says 2-strokes use more fuel per horsepower, but don't say why, dancing around the differences between the two designs, like shorter effective strokes, blower drive losses, crap like that.

I still agree that 2-stroke diesels kick ass.

I'm in Richmond. I don't think all of the cops have the stuff to pick up radar detectors. That just means I'll be one of the lucky few that gets busted.

They are both on the list of things left to hook up.

i guess the real issue is "do i have enough oil capacity?" Because I chopped the oil pan basically in half in search for ground clearance. No joke, it was 3" from touching the ground before. Now it looks more like a transmission oil pan. Just 2 quarts for me, please! Seriously, I migh...

I would have one if they weren't illegal in VA.

2-stroke diesels do have higher BSFC-per-hp numbers than 4-stroke diesels. And yes, I was talking about diesels back there. Even though they have a blower on the engine for cylinder evacuation, it doesn't get it all out. A turbo on top of the blower makes this problem much, much smaller. This accord...
