compsurge Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 you could just get another motor and make an engine test stand run it on the stand and potentially dyno it also, then put it in at your convenience Rao would approve, I think.

jmorris6689 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Wow, just wow! I just read through this whole thread and I think we need to start a group or something titled college kids who built their motors. I've been through this whole experience too and you did one hell of a job man way to go and way to stick with it. You will be rewarded the first time that you really get to open it up. In case youre interested here is my build thread. http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/funny-noise-turned-out-terribly-153761.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jblackwell1 Posted January 9, 2012 Author Share Posted January 9, 2012 Fellas im looking for a little help. I need to figure out if im missing the blow by hose or pcv hose on my passenger side... does anyone know which is which, i know its the hose that is smaller in diameter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Are you taking about the hose that goes into the head cover? The smaller diameter one tees together with the other one on the other head and together they go into the turbo inlet. They do not need clamps because they never see positive pressure.

jblackwell1 Posted January 10, 2012 Author Share Posted January 10, 2012 I am OH so close. Waiting on boost and oil pressure gauges and have about 8 hours worth of work left before i turn the key tomorrow evening. Will have a few videos then.

jblackwell1 Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 My buddy brought over his sony bloggy hd cam for me to use tomorrow on first start up. Played with it a little tonite to see how good it was, video quality isnt that good but sound quality is a lot better then i thought itd be. Heres a short vid of the current status of the car. Got a few things to wrap up and organize and waiting on my accessory belts, AEM Boost and Oil pressure gauges then she should be ready to fire up. http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e2/jeeped07/Legacy%20GT%20Build/th_006-7.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frank_ster Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 do you have a cold .. i hear excessive mouth breathing ( ie good sound on the vid lol ) Now that's thinking out of the boxer! fyi all 05 + legacy's have built in code reader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblackwell1 Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 I was wondering if anyone would mention that. I was litterally breathing like normal... i have another video where i had my stereo on in the garage and it was very quiet, video it sounds like its full blast. Which i suppose is good for what i want it for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblackwell1 Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 Im looking for where the grounds in the engine bay go on the drivers side. You should be able to see where they are by simply removing the engine cover. I think they ground to the very back on the top of the drivers side head but would like confirmation on that. If anyone can look at their car and let me know id apprciate it. The wires come out of the main wire run with the injectors and the grounds are square ground rings. Any help would be great.

jblackwell1 Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 Unfortunantly i didnt get to turn the key today, missed a signature required delivery so the new start day is tomorrow. I finished up everything i could today but have a bit of work to do tomorrow. Since i really couldnt do much so i went ahead and bought a roll of tint and did my front windows to match the rears. Came out very well for my first time, but quality tint makes it easy. Tint is 20% llumar for those wondering.
