u can just use free ssm to read atf temps

you shouldn't put your phone number on the forums .. and what did you clean on the throttle body ?

Well its to keep the oxygen out. If you have a small flame it does the trick

Lol propane is a good sheildinn gas just need the correct flow rate

Well the 3.8 is externally balanced meaning the flywheel has a weight on one side. I tool the original flywheel and put it along side of the new flywheel on a rod that fits in the center hole. I then turn one flyheel 180 degrees from the other. Then i used the forkes as leveling rails, found the heavy spot of the two flywheels that are bolted together . And i just kept drilling a hole to remove weight from the heaviest point. Untill there was no heavy spot. So the new flywheel was countering the old flywheel . And thus i have a flywheel that is balanced the same as the original!

Quick mock up of the engine Today i ballanced my new hd flywheel using a drill press and a forklift ! I hope to put the engine back in this weekend

Sounds like a performance transmission to me Probably just needs to learn its charatictics again The eltxm onlu learns when drivng 10-15% throtle

yea but i retained awd !

Yea its a clone . Its been in the car for 3 + years did 100 000 km on the swap. I have a thread called my subaru beats with a buick heart

Puttin this back n my car As some will argue im making it hicksta'd

install derale thermostat

and thats why they dont make turbo legacys anymore

lets start a coffee table book about how things went wrong on your diy legacy gt project !

Sounds like the banjo filters were blocked So you need another new turbo and maybe get another mechanic And get a non turbo car But start your own thread in the turbo powertrain section

I got some ceramic exhaust coating ! Did it my self Just need scotchbrite the surface to take it from white to chrome like finish !

if there worn. there actually really easy to get to. but normal usage they will be totally fine.

putting engine back together

Technically never

it doenst hurt to change both

need 3.27 ratio

Any atf fluid is fine imho. I have ran pretty much what ever comes on sale.

New fly wheel arrived !

From my Understanding the tcu only learns when between 10-15% throttle . It just needs to determin how much the clutches are worn

it could be the tcu needs to learn how fast to engage a specific gear. to check if its slipping use manual mode and go full throttle in each gear for a few seconds . to get the tcu to learn you need to drive around between 10-15% throttle. and you should reset the tcu before doing so if you can.

i have been using mobil 1 ..
