RooTBeeR Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share Posted April 10, 2015 Car did 190awhp stock before it blew up, so 60 HP from a tune is sort of a lot though. Such a low power will keep the 5eat happy as well. I still want the F1 valve body though "Build" Thread <--Link (OLD) '05 EJ255 now a '13 EJ257 Bottom End w/D25 heads (NEW) Forever Slow [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still want the F1 valve body though I forget -- are you gonna run the Custom40, too? That, Stage2 and a good tune (heck, even on OTS!) would net you about 250whp.

keenster Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I can make you some bushings. I just made mine myself. Check out my build thread. (Resurrect Subie wan kenobi) Last couple of post shows what I did. That's a nice mod to ensure the needle bearing don't grenade, thus spending a ton of money on the diff.

I hadn't shared that part yet, so you didn't forget. When I originally took my turbo off, and checked it out, I didn't check the end play, only the side to side. So I thought it was okay at the time.( thankfully, since its been sitting on my trunk led by the garage door, it's easy to get to and always staring at me, so I was playing with it a bit) and when I went back and checked later, it does have end play. So I would rather have it rebuilt before I put it on and completely ruin my new engine. Lol But yeah, for $200 more, I might as well get a tad more boost that won't add any lag. I am keeping stock downpipe though...Kalifornia... So, technically not stg 2 I guess haha Easily/legally passing smog, has affected quite a few of the choices I've made for this build. It probably would have actually gotten a lot more expensive if I wasn't worried about smog check.

alex0856 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 At least gut your DP? I dunno how often you get inspected there but in WA it's every 2 years. We don't do visual inspections (yet), but I'd rather switch out the DP every two years than have to go without if I were Stage 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't do visual inspections, and, if the news articles are any indication, the Emissions stations are going by the wayside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrTris Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Clarify? I read that Washington is considering visual. No, the whole things are going away. Remember, any vehicle 2009 and newer doesn't have to have emissions inspections, at all. At this point, there will be so few "older" and exempt cars on the road, it's not supposed to make that much of a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stock down pipe can't hurt me that much. And, I probably would gut it if I didn't have to do the sniffer test.

I didn't do it because I wanted to check the clearances before I gooped it all together. And sure enough, I needed to order two buckets, one bigger, one smaller. Which should be on my doorstep right now actually. Then, I'll add the sealant and be done with it.

RooTBeeR Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 04/13/2015 About to go to bed finally. (Yes, Its almost 7am) I swapped out the two valve buckets that were out of spec for two that were in spec. I put sealant on the oil control valves and the valve covers and bolted everything back together. Install the cam seals Put the timing covers on Put the cam sprockets on Used the TIC FU can bolts Changed all the hose clamps over to worm gear Put the timing belt on and all of the pulleys Time the engine and spun it over a few times Put the knock sensor on it Put the turbo coolant tank return and breather pipes on http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/04/14/9abe0593e75ae77e74f2b2e7bc2527d7.jpg Lol I guess I was tired, I fell asleep before I could finish posting this "Build" Thread <--Link (OLD) '05 EJ255 now a '13 EJ257 Bottom End w/D25 heads (NEW) Forever Slow [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
