lol..fine. You are ****ing nuts. Not like it compares, but I failed at doing spark plugs a couple nights ago, and my hands were so cold I didnt realize that my knuckles had bled for about..i dunno..3 hours.

looks like you have been a busy bee

What motor/heads?

I really want to get rid of the sti and the miata, and build a swapped coupe. I was thinking of trying to find an EJ22t, have it honed, new pistons, fully balanced, new rod bearings. Mate it up to whatever AVCS heads I can find for a reasonable price, grab a V7 intake manifold, my perrin equal length headers, put the center section of my turbo into a goot set of housings, EWG, and run it on the Hydra. Simple, right?

this is an:

ej18s
ej20g HG
ej29g heads
vf39
EWG
FMIC
cutout
emanage
etc.


Doing a 22t on a stand alone is not hard actually. standalone is the way to go. I know of two maybe three guys right now using 22t block right now and making close to 400whp on small turbos (figure of speech) and conservative tunes.

[HuffRex]

there's some progress Pete!! Too bad you couldn't assemble it in the kitchen hahahaha....keep it up bro! I'm pulling my motor out and apart today! I'll let you know how things go!

[teh DIRT]

[UnderPoweredRS]

[SUB2.5RS]

Pete. Get a propane heater. Trust me it will work! I cant wait to see the car when it is done. When you are done, can we run again against each other? Next time I will launch!!

[latenight2736]

I was working in an uninsulated carage in the middle of morrisville helping my friend put in coilovers in hid FD RX-7. The high that night was probably 15, I destroyed my hands because I was working without gloves for the first hour like an idiot. Its definetly worth it and I wouldn't have it any other way :)
