[Injector flow testing]

Alex had mine tested, I'll have a look at my receipts...

You mean they are unreal, because they are far superior to legacys?

Not Superior.

Just a step closer to rice.

[Old ECU to run yellow injectors]

Funkytown is correct.

Who rebuilds them?

Autoclutch.

[clutch costs]

Expect to pay something like $400 on TM.

Or you could buy a new friction plate and send your cover away to be rebuilt/upgraded.

your definition is too literal. an aftermarket oe replacement oil filter would take it away from being "stock" technically. but in the context above makes absolutely no difference

If the crankcase has been split and uprated internals designed to cope with higher stresses; then it is not stock.

Obviously without head work then it will perform like stock only more efficient and stronger.

Stock would mean as it left the factory. So not stock.

/quote]

no head work correct, nor cams.

has factory intake mani, aftermarket exhaust mani

has full forged internals. Ej207 shortblock, v3 sti heads.

to clarify "factory" were Geoff's words, perhaps used more lightly than intended.

from above - its each person's own opinion whether you consider my engine "factory" or not. I don't have an opinion to leave on the subject.

edit: also what marc said

I don't want to get into a circle jerk over all this. To be honest I didn't even notice Geoff's comment.

It's not a matter of opinion; it isn't stock.

[dsr turbo]

Stock would mean as it left the factory. So not stock.

[STI rough idle]

Small variations in the idle are not to be unexpected.

A high idle when cold is normal.

Is it missing at light or medium throttle input?

[So how would one go about making a NA legacy a bit quicker?]

They are supposed to be smaller.

NA do not react the same way to increases in the exhaust system diameter as a with a compressor. It will reduce back pressure and make for a more doughy drive.

If any sort of size increase is desired then think in small increases of 1/8's and 1/4's also mandrel bent turns.

[Engine Jerking!Spark plugs Or Timing ???]

Check your intake plumbing and Bov for leaks.

I think this guy maybe on CS but I can't remember his name.

Ask for some pictures.

Do you have a single turbo conversion performed on your RSK?

[Which heads?]

 1989RS said:

sweet then ands one more thing i have a 1989 rs legacy bidy and have a GT 1992 block and heads are the heads interchangeable just dont want bent valves when i start it for the first time

No differences in the engine in that sense. Both have Hydraulic lifter type heads, that are identical.

As long as everything has been measured accordingly then you should be fine.

[equal length headers]

 funkytown said:

could bolt on a nice twin scroll turbo, or get a custom uppipe built to suit a singe scroll turbo. I just i just rate the factory v8 headers as top shelf and you can hardly find them anyway.

V8 would be the best of the factory offerings. But only worth it if you had a half cut or all of the conversion parts.

[equal length headers]

I can't see a deal in this..

$250 for a setup that unless he is handy with a set, he will have to pay to have it made to suit. Not including the sump etc.

When for another $250 he could easily have his pick of 2nd hand aftermarket EL headers.

[Test drove a v7 sti.....]

I should dig up the data of how much stiffer the GD is over the outgoing GC.

Shout yourself a pipe and slippers too.

[Rebuild cost]

Generally speaking it would be about $500 to have the engine apart and on a bench for appraisal.

I would think that the insurance company would have there own mechanics or a choice of who are able to carry out claim work.

As stated, a lot of times major components can be reused, Pistons, rods, crankshaft.

Where are you based?

[equal length headers]

They are Factory equal length with the heat shielding removed. With the up pipe being the only modification.

Have you done a Single turbo conversion? If not then they will be of no use to you.

If you have, then for $250 I'd being saving up for one of the many various Equal length offerings available.

[Reducing turbo lag.]

Careosel. Do yourself a favor and take some detailed photos to post up.

Helping you out here is like giving a haircut over the phone.

[ej20]

Never ever reuse the OE oil cooler after the engine runs a bearing.

Either source new or go for a 2nd hand one from a motor that had done a head gasket or the like.

Would seem like a stupid place to have one to me. Woudnt it disprupt/restrict flow to the turbo?

02-05 WRX have a cat in the up pipe.
