Max Capacity Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 I'm very happy so far with my Spec 2. The pedal feel is very close to the oem clutch in my 09 Spec B. I would think any stage 2 type clutch would be good for the masses. Both Mike's (m sprank and AZPinstalls.com) are better ones to ask about that. Mike from AZP does auto-X from time to time. m sprank has been working on these cars for a long time. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs.

Max Capacity Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 I'd wait. You have to raise the engine to get the pan on. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

Has anyone put a rebuilt engine in their car and have had this or a similar problem of misfires?? Not a pro at this, but I would first check if your timing belt has not skipped a tooth or two since you are having issue on a specific bank. Someone else had a very similar issue and that was it. Does not mean it will be it for sure though. But does not hurt to carefully check it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leggyman17 Posted October 9, 2012 Author Share Posted October 9, 2012 After a few beers and food..i figured out i had the coil wire harness swapped... DUHH so after it was routed the correct way the car runs beautifully.. although i do need a throttle body hose to fix my boost leak so ill go back to my OEM top mount for now !!

xt2005bonbon Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Same thing when I am coding. If I have a bug and can't figure out why my code does not work, I just take a break, come back, and usually you get that 'DUHH' moment. Amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
