John's UK 92 Legacy Engine

Post by William D. Robinson »

John: Your UK version has some type of EJ20G engine. The serial
numbers are under your alternator and/or where the two crancase halves
meet. I don't know how to tell an EJ20G Type RA from a lesser EJ20.
Does anyone out there know?

Item 2: Lost styrofoam is how they form the water jackets within a sand
casting. The water jackets are a male mold made of styrofoam that melts
out when the aluminum is poured in. Sand casted aluminum is tougher
than die-cast. My die cast boat popellers are cheaper, more brittle and
less repairable than my sand cast props.

Item 3: I am surprised that people with Apexi AVC-R boost controllers
want to sell their manual guages. I like to see other data on my AVC-R
so I kept my VDO guage in my line of sight.

In response to #3:

I display Boost, RPM, Injector Duty Cycle and Throttle Position on my
AVC-R. Speed and Solenoid duty aren't as important to me, but if i
wanted them for some reason, i could display them easy.

Mechanical gauges are relatively inaccurate, meaning that they are
affected by temperature as well as the long lengths of hose they must
use to get pressure from. In removing my HBC and vdo gauge, i
eliminated 7-10 feet of weak, pressure robbing vacuum line.

As for placement, mine is right in front of the tachometer, pretty
close to line-of-sight! I'll post a pic or two later today on the
site.
