careercadaver Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share Posted June 11, 2014 The first I'm not certain of. The second block was from the banjo filter starving the turbo...he went through three turbos before it finally gave...the last is yet to be determined. If that was happening to me I would've sold it to save me the headaches. It's to stressful to have a car be so unreliable. I'm too invested at this point.

careercadaver Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share Posted June 11, 2014 So, apparently there was some rust build up on the cylinder walls that we didn't get all of before reassembly. Car sat for about 6mo in a garage that had condensation issues with the concrete. The material we couldn't reach stayed between the mating surface of the ring to cylinder wall and ate the rings... Considering options again as the block will be torn down here soon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators BarManBean Posted June 11, 2014 Moderators Share Posted June 11, 2014 Wow, that's a bummer man. Not that it matters now, but maybe down the road--I think the answer for storing shortblocks is a bit of ATF. Coat everything in a light film of ATF, turn the crank a bit to coat the rings, etc, and then bag it up.

careercadaver Posted June 13, 2014 Author Share Posted June 13, 2014 Just got back with the shop about the block. Gonna upgrade to king bearings, have them hone and run OE rings. Can't really swing much else with all the labor. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
careercadaver Posted June 28, 2014 Author Share Posted June 28, 2014 Got the block back today! Hoping to begin assembly tomorrow evening and drop it in Sunday! If all goes well I'll be driving it Monday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

careercadaver Posted June 28, 2014 Author Share Posted June 28, 2014 Gonna run it 1k and do another compression. If all is well it will be getting a solid tune. Still deciding who locally...I have my eyes on two or three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
careercadaver Posted July 3, 2014 Author Share Posted July 3, 2014 I got my new oil feed line in and picked up a braided section, post AVCS, that should arrive Monday...should be driving early next week at this stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leoh88 Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Hey, just wondering, what happened to the front of your roof rack? I always see just the rear part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
careercadaver Posted July 4, 2014 Author Share Posted July 4, 2014 Bought the car with a Yakima rack but gave it back to PO per his request. Are you referring to the fairing? If so, I'm no sure why he didn't have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
careercadaver Posted July 14, 2014 Author Share Posted July 14, 2014 Painted power steering/alternator and AC pump brackets and threw on everything but evap, purge and boost solenoids and turbo yesterday...hoping to have the energy to finish up tonight and get her back in the road.

careercadaver Posted July 21, 2014 Author Share Posted July 21, 2014 Thinking Jason Carberry or Corbin Johnson at this point. Still putting it together at this point...my wife and I had a baby Saturday so that has taken precedent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still putting it together at this point...my wife and I had a baby Saturday so that has taken precedent. That's awesome news! Congrats. Mine's 16 mos old and the legacy hasn't ran right ever since lol. I'd much rather hang with them then work on the POS. Good choice on tuners. I'm obviously bias'ed towards Corbin as he tuned my heap before it ate a ringland but I've probably recommended him 20x in the past month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
careercadaver Posted July 25, 2014 Author Share Posted July 25, 2014 Thanks man! Congrats to you as well!! Know the feeling on wrenching. Hard to give it priority...hoping to tinker a bit this weekend. I'll likely go with Corbin as I expect to have trouble reaching carberry...

brum Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Disconnect your green flash plug in the passenger footwell. Or a missing ground strap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tehnation Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 That error means you have a problem with the ecu! There may be a shorted wire in the harness. Reconnect the big gray harness thats above the turbo on passenger wheel well, and also check the big fuses in engine bay, you may have blown the fuse for your ecu! I had to pay the stealership 130 dollars to change a f'n fuse when I got the er hc.......... But that er hc means there is an issue with the high speed can bus. http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/er-hc-code-43375p2.html You might find something useful in this thread.

careercadaver Posted July 30, 2014 Author Share Posted July 30, 2014 From what I've read it could be as simple as a ground or bent pin on a harness. Gotta love tearing things down for something so simple... Might have to figure something out with the PCV. The location is severely in the way with the STI style TMIC...I suppose this would be a good a time as any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
careercadaver Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 It was the main grounding bar on the back side of the TGV's. So glad it was something simple. I have a few leaks to track down and it should be road ready!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
