Motor build stage "3" (6-26-08)
yeah im just hopping the engine can take it. 3 out of the 4 cylinders are good the other is like 135psi vs the others which are at 150. but it doesnt comsume any oil and doesnt smoke or leak anything. so i guess we will see.
update on the d15b7. I adjusted the fuel so i could rev it up and stay steady 13.1. As soon as you started to move the car would fall on its face. Couldnt figure out what it was i though my timing belt was off so i kept adjusting it, still nothing car sounded like a subaru sti no joke. Well i took out all the spark plugs and the #4 cylinder was soaked in gas, brand new spark plugs. So i went and checked the spark plug wire for high voltage and everything was cool. Next went to the distributor cap and checked the points inside. turns out the #4 point had heavy carrosion on it. So i cleaned them all off and put everything back together. The car starts and revs perfect. So took if for a spin and it builds boost at 2500rpms and has a ton of torque. next its off to work to make my mandrel 3" all the way back then hit the dyno for some tuning and repainting my valve cover the gun metal grey like the d16y7 head. gonna be real clean
its doing fantastic... but seriously its going good. just working out little bugs like normal with anything you moddify getting ready for my mandrel 3"
