RAYDEO

yeah the ruber bit on the crank pully was nackered... i was wondering about that from the moment i saw it... good we got it sorted and great that you had a parts car sitting round lol... i normally dont like using the starter to losen the crank pully bolt as ive heard it can make the cambelt jump teath, but on this occation we had no choice... (damn automatics) took a bit of doing too but got there and car is going so alls well that ends well glad i could help Dunedin Road-Side Rescue Crew Saves Another Life...!

what type of engine? most turbo EJ's ive seen have a 0.9 factory... get a new one

not for a year or two buddy... not sure if i could be bothered with the crappy weather up there 8)

RAYDEO V - 1999 WRX STI RA V-Ltd When i first got her and once i got the roof racks removed Liam's V5 Type R | RAYDEO V | kamineko's V2 RA WRX8YA's Rally Michine

i have been worried about the same thing... but if you are careful when you open it you should be fine... mine whistles when i hit 180 even if its closed

ad agree with this... just replaced mine... was a manufacturer fault really...

as a matter of fact i do have one laying around, had run a bearing previously and so was ground down a little... i didnt use it as the bearings i ordered were no good... so found a new (2nd hand but as good as new) one... you pay for postage and its yours

as with any car, if you wind up the boost you could have issues... the manufacturer set the boost for a reason... although having said that my gtb was boosting 17psi for a quite a while before i knew found out that was a massive amount of boost for a non sti and still drives fine (even with the cel coming on all the time - damn knock sensor) when i say "still drives fine" i suspect it was pretty shot but has since been sold so i dont care lol

i assume you need a slanty one due to the angle fo your intake? why not replace with v3/v4 intake? then use a factory sti IC? its possible im talking thru a hole in my arse having little to no experence with v1/v2

clearences have been checked and long block is together... no pics at this stage unfortunatly.. everything should be getting bolted on tomorrow and in the car tomorrow/tuesday... WOOP WOOP cant wait! ill post up a full parts list and step by setp once im done...

although it only takes one bannered car to lost traction/rev att he nights/ in some cases even be out on a friday/saturday night to accoicate us with the "bad boy racers" in some cases i think it better for us to keep a low profile

cheers! hehehe ya never knw where ill pop up

and bit back on for that matter... never have quite found a hoist that can tip the car upside down yet...

yeah easy to sort... let me know if ur still stuck ill be up there soon

yeah man for sure... ya'll invited, will have to make a night of it...

well ur not guna be here... ;D

short block almost ready to be assembled heads ported...

mine never had one but liams did... i agree with the above post... good to have, but no big deal if its not there...

fair enough, im just going on what ive seen and been told...

BEB's fail due to lack of oil (or as my understanding) so if u keep your oil delervery in good nick youllbe fine... you can baffel the sump to stop the oil sloshing around and starving the engine during cornering. next weakest like? clutch, but once thats upgraded, your gearbox... youll lose 2nd gear on an agreasive launch with a heavy duty clutch easy, would pay to look at replacing your clutch when u do your engine anyway... its easy to do while the block is out

i believe swindog spraypaintd his

all parts ordered from Liam arrived today as well as the bearings... pulled apart the heads, cleaned the valves ane ported the heads...
