loserpro2 Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 I dont, its cold! I actually have some repairs to do when I get home and am not looking forward to the cold temperatures at all. i understand...but HK is only starting to get cold this week - predicting 15 or lower during the middle of this week. the whole of november averaged (in my point of view) around 21 degrees celsius when it's supposed to be averaging 17 degrees C. hot christmas? i'm in Hong kong, now aussieland at the moment. Back to the shop! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee hopefully I'll have the engine out of the car today can't wait to see it in the 96' LGT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aczwild Posted December 21, 2007 Author Share Posted December 21, 2007 December 21, 2007: Heart Surgery Well today I was finally able to free the baby beast. She was stubborn and didnt want to come out of her old home, so with the help of the Sawzall and the Blow Torch we were able to wiggle her free. It was pretty funny to see the red power steering fluid flowing out of the reservoir when we removed it, like she was bleeding all over the place.... On to the pics! http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y272/Aczwild/DSC01728.jpg First attempt to cut the Drive axle with the sawzall, which didnt end well for the blade.... http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y272/Aczwild/DSC01730.jpg So when the sawzall doesnt work, who do you call???????? The torch http://images.nasioc.com/ubb-files/smilies/lildevil.gifhttp://images.nasioc.com/ubb-files/smilies/lildevil.gifhttp://images.nasioc.com/ubb-files/smilies/lildevil.gifhttp://images.nasioc.com/ubb-files/smilies/lildevil.gif Note the Speedidry on the floor, this was to soak up the combination of power steering fluid and gas mix. So being the responsible one that I am I opted to hold the Fire extinguisher while I kindly let my father do the torching http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y272/Aczwild/DSC01733.jpg Note the glow on the rim and tire.... Yeah we kinda melted the tire a bit . Best parts were the .... "Um the brake line is on fire....." *bats it out with a rag*.......... "um its on fire again...".... "Um the transmission is on fire....." "Well dont just stand there its raining flaming trans fluid!"..... Yeah we had fun:cool: http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y272/Aczwild/DSC01740.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y272/Aczwild/DSC01736.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y272/Aczwild/DSC01741.jpg So finally after cutting the Drive axles and the DP, we were able to free the baby beast.... I give you the EJ22T in all its glory. Please dont laugh at her tiny turbo, she's a little self conscious of it.... http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y272/Aczwild/DSC01746.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y272/Aczwild/DSC01747.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y272/Aczwild/DSC01748.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y272/Aczwild/DSC01752.jpg Hopefully I'll have the block apart over the Christmas holiday before I go out to Colorado JDM'd All to hell Thanks Jimmy @ Hkc-Speed.com!

SLegacy99 Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Those are the same wheels as my '96. Didn't realize that they were around then. Anyway, my buddy has been restroing an '83 633csi. If he saw how dirty your engine is I can just hear him say, "Ill get the simple green." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aczwild Posted December 22, 2007 Author Share Posted December 22, 2007 I think those wheels are from a younger Impreza. It was pretty funny how dirty this engine is. There are sunflower seeds under the manifold from some mouse making a home, and some how there was a birds wing, feathers and all wedged in the turbo.... yeah its a killer, I really wish I had gotten a pic of it before it was removed, it was great JDM'd All to hell Thanks Jimmy @ Hkc-Speed.com!

Aczwild Posted January 16, 2008 Author Share Posted January 16, 2008 Yar, just got back from skiing. I'm trying to figure out what direction I want to go first. I'm going to keep the Donor engine in one piece till I send it to Vermont Engine, just to keep rust out of the heads, etc. (even though I want to tear it apart right now). This leaves me with the dilemma, do I buy all the parts for the engine first, or do I completely strip the shell further, buy the replacement bumper, fenders, hood and corresponding parts, get the front fixed, completely strip everything off the shell and then seam weld everything. After which I'd buy the suspension pieces and fab the drivetrain, before doing the engine work. I think I'm going to go with the latter option, so I dont have a built engine just sitting around. So I have to either track down my old body repair man, whom is unbelievably good, who just moved (hopefully within state), or I have to get everything prepped to take it to Ultimate CC down in NY JDM'd All to hell Thanks Jimmy @ Hkc-Speed.com!

vaccaroja Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 looks good.. so where is the intercooler? behind the grill? 13.6 @ 102 untuned FTW SmartWax - Spec Clutch - Team Scp 1 http://newenglandsubarus.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aczwild Posted January 19, 2008 Author Share Posted January 19, 2008 looks good.. so where is the intercooler? behind the grill? No intercooler on the old skool EJ22T. These cars just had a chimney vent to the hood scoop to cool the exterior of the turbo. Many people who mod the Old Turbo Legacys add Saab Turbo TMICs to deal with higher levels of boost (stock they were about 7-8psi) JDM'd All to hell Thanks Jimmy @ Hkc-Speed.com!

Hops Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I would keep the old Leggy and build that! Then put a different motor into the '97. Both are bad ass. Buy my cars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aczwild Posted February 6, 2008 Author Share Posted February 6, 2008 Last week I took the '91 to the Junkyard, it was a sad day.... ... and then they cut me a check for $177.90 with no wheels and tires, or engine and I wasnt so sad after that Wheels and tires are now on my '96 and I'm gonna take it off the jackstands this weekend (if its warm enough in the garage) and take the dash out, so I can plan how I'm going to mount some special things (and remove the AC) JDM'd All to hell Thanks Jimmy @ Hkc-Speed.com!
