Re: Non turbo engine build
Got out today and cut some steel fender flares out of a mk2 jetta coupe to mock up to the fenders and quarters of my wagon. They are a pretty close match and I think they are big enough to go into the doors and blend the dog leg area to look like a professional flare job. Might take some flack from ...

Re: Non turbo engine build
A few questions were answered for me as well, those gray top injectors from a 97 ouback sport worked very well I'm sure I didn't have to but I numbered them and put them in with the same orientation. Still couldn't find any technical info on them like pulse and hold rates fuel output and why the ori...

Re: Ej22t issues diagnosing codes
I have some of the same codes but the 33 code confuses me a little bit. I just finished a motor build and swap on my wagon and pulled knock sensor, vss and purge valve codes. Two of the three are very apparent but the vss is a strange one to me because its not a circuit and looks to be purely mechan...

Re: Non turbo engine build
Yeah I imagine it would be fun to say the least..I did run into a good thread from a miata forum on how to depower a r+p by taking some seals out. The guy who did this work said it felt pretty good and sturdy, not like the manual racks from back in the day.

Re: Non turbo engine build
It wasn't so bad in my bd, I had a really bad leak in the p/s reservoir so I bypassed the lines and fed the little bit of fluid that was in there in a loop. I only had it like that for about three weeks until I could get a rebuild kit for the pump. What would be ideal for me is to get the pump and r...

Re: Non turbo engine build
I did think about that when I put my valves and plugs in but did not measure them together, I did put a contour guage in there and they were close enough for me not to worry about decking them again. This Wednesday I'm going to check for leaks in the valves seats and ill measure the bowls at the sam...

Re: Non turbo engine build
Lol..no I was just being a smartass.
No one can tell me if all my valves should be closed or partially open when my heads are fully assembled. I thought all the valves should be closed until I put them into timing...Or its just a ridiculous noob question.

Re: Non turbo engine build
I swapped out the whole roller valve train and cam into that head, not just the rocker assembly should have mentioned that. The only other thing is that the hlas, the I bled the air out yesterday and only 4 of them stayed solid, the other 4 have bled down already so those need to be replaced. But th...

Re: Non turbo engine build
Well time ran out for me to find another block so I'm putting my 22e back together, got everything I needed for it now. I did unfortunately have to buy another right side head for it, the head I bought was out of a 92 legacy sedan. So I'm still kind of frankensteining this build. The cast patterns a...

Re: Non turbo engine build
Damn, I had some of the red injectors in my grasp not two months ago and I sold them :smt083... oh well if only I knew. I like that idea of the 222 because of the stroke too, mostly what I'm after with this build is pep and low end torque and responsiveness..not much can be expected on HP, but I wou...

Re: Non turbo engine build
Thanks bratman, That's what I was thinking was going to happen as well, I didn't even think about the cr of the phase 2 motors. I think ill have to have a custom gasket made for it though. All the second phase motors 251/252 are basically the same right, I thought it was kind of strange that the mot...

Re: Non turbo engine build
Well that's not a bad idea I can probably get the injectors and rails at the cheap u pull here, they have 4 first gens there. I already have the rotary iacv from my other 22e and wiring for an early 97 2.2, if I'm not mistaken the changes were mid year after July 97 to the injectors. I had the red t...

Re: Non turbo engine build
The heads and manifold are looking good. Thanks man, I hope it does some good things, now I'm off to look for injectors and rails, maybe toy around and open them up too. Has anyone tried the phenolic spacers from grimmspeed? The theory sounds pretty legit, I just guess that the I/m bolts have to be...

Re: Non turbo engine build
Wow thanks for kicking ass josh..that's funny how or why that happened not
to mention that the car seemed fine for a 40 mile trip home with it. No notable
fueling issues. New injectors it is then.

Re: Non turbo engine build
They don't look broken, no evidence of residual materials or tool marks, the part looks manufactured. The front two injectors have a black top and the rear ones have grey tops. The grey tops have the normal looking nozzles, black tops have no nozzle..weird. The car ran pretty good when I got it desp...

Re: Non turbo engine build
A few weird things I noticed about the fuel injector set up in the manifold but only one sticks out right now. Why dont the two rear injector nozzles extend into the valve entrance like the other two, they were super extra dirty too. I'm wondering if I can use my 98 impreza obs rails and injectors i...

Re: Non turbo engine build
blended that lip down into the throttle chamber all the way around and polished it pretty smooth in there, the entrances to the runners remain rough and even out in the exits to the heads. I think it will breathe better but only time will tell. http://i1310.photobucket.com/albums/s660/pleaidestar/Mo...
