any pics of it?

kinda shootin in the dark otherwise.

compression test compression test compression test (head gasket)
there is no reason why you should be building that much pressure to blow any coolant lines. unless your radiator cap is bad, and isnt letting pressure bleed off into the overflow tank.

did you check the lines from the motor to the ...

God Damn! Im oo drunk o b around a car, bu no a wiring schmaic, an d looks lik h ky dosn work on my kyboard!

Lookd up h schmaics and could b r58, b83 or b20. b20 conncs dircly o cam and crank angl, b has i. Bich was loos, Ill crank hr in h morning. Hll Yah!

Rally, my kyboard is brok, his has ...

well as a bit of an update on this thread. The customer brought his car back in today, to talk more about some of the symptoms that this thread is about. The customer felt that he should take it to the dealer, because he was within 1k of his warranty ending. He took it to Carr Subaru. I have always ...

Did the car run just fine with no codes before you shut it off? If so i would say its possible that you have a grounding problem, or a battery issue of sorts. check the voltage of the battery and then possibly do some resistance tests in your grounding system.

If you had existing problems, im not ...

Do the rear main seal, reseal the oil pan, um, cam support o ring in the back. I think you should check out the oil pump backing place in the back of the motor to. I think it needs to be removed and resealed, or just need to make sure it is tight? Can't remember.
you got it.

you can do the head ...

hopefully hopefully time permitting i will have the plates done this week, and try to post some pics. so you guys can check out what im talkn about. The prototypes will be made out of cast. But im gonna have the others made out of aluminum

the last picture is of your overflow tank right?

i think you really need to do a coolant flush. it will eliminate a lot of questions. It really does look like your head gasket is leaking externally. from what i can tell it looks like the head gasket is the graphite composite type gasket. which i ...

well if they were a good body shop, they would know better than to move a car with out all engine components in good condition. But who knows i have seen some messed up stuff. its not good to run the care without coolant in the car, because the pump itself needs water too cool the pump internally ...

id be suspicious, do that cold test tomorrow and see what happens. then let us know

if its happening every 8 starts, i wouldnt worry about it too much. Check your coolant and oil, make sure its all good. Its not overheating is it? i have seen condensation do this before. If it starts to happen more and more often then i would get suspicious.

check my diagnosis thread

ahhh so i opened my radiator cap and heard kind of like a hissing sound or sucking sound. and when i lefted the cap what looked like mud came out of it. this cant be good what the heck did i do.

ouch. wait till the car is completely cool. take the radiator cap off and have someone start the car ...

yea those knock sensors go bad all the time. they are notorious for that crack.

Hey guys sorry for the belated reply. been a bit busy. Anyway as a response to the questions:

-All of the CLT tests were listened to with my stethoscope, after about ten seconds of listening with my ears i wasnt convinced. i just didnt believe it. so thats when i went for my stethoscope .

-The ...

it will "bolt " up with no problems. But there are a few things that would need to be done to that motor specifically to ensure reliability.

If either head gasket is leaking or it is the original head gasket, it needs to be replaced. The adhesive used on the original gasket from the factory had a ...

ok so, 04 wrx.
Today at work I was brought in a 2004 wrx 2.0L 49,000 miles. It had a boost gauge, perrin downpipe, thats all it had. The car came in for a 60K service.
60k service includes:
Air filter,MAF cleaning,, fuel filter, spark plugs, coolant flush, brake flush, tire rotation and oil change ...

I have done it. I drilled a hole for the pivot ball. it took a lot of measuring and patience. Its really not worth it. if you really really really want a push type clutch on a turbo(pull type) tranny. There are some companies that sell kits to do so. But they are all for double and triple disc ...

there are a lot of threads on this. not only here but on nasioc and lsi.net. As far as a quick answer, do a wrx suspension swap. the setup is so close to our cars it a good easy direct swap over. I cant remember exactly, but i think if you do the wrx suspension swap it will raise the car 1inch? go ...

id say as long as your not using it as a blow through MAF, youll be just fine

you could just get a NA ecu, drop in a NA EJ22, and then switch the cam and crank sensors. and it should run pretty good, at least well enough to pass emissions. surprisingly its actually a really cheap way of getting around your problem

Yea the wiring could be painful depending on what manifold you use. But if you use your original wiring for the most part, placement of different sensors hasnt changed too much. Either way i see how wiring for some people might make it difficult. I know tons of people that are mechanical but cant ...

thats right, it was starting to bug me, that i couldnt remember

so i have been toying with the idea of designing a set of adapter plates, to convert old style straight bolt pattern to the new style that has a bolt offset. So you would be able to have top feeds, new style 05-current LGT and 08 and newer wrx plastic style manifolds, and all other intakes with ...

just cause they replaced it, doesnt mean it hasnt gone bad lol. I went through 4 IACs granted not all of them were new, but they all couldnt have had that problem. Id just check that vacuum reading tomorrow, and let us know what it was
