Hey all. I just thought i might bore you all with what i did tonite. Needed to remove my engine and gear box from my 1982 subaru to replace clutch and gear box. I started the task after tea around 7pm and managed to have the gear box and motor out in only 4hrs.

Well thats what i been doing. I know some of you will be like " thats slow as man" but i think its good. Ah well just thought i would share something.

Yeah its easier to take out gearbox with the engine than to f around with separating them in the car. Plus i am changing the gear box for another one that i had sitting around cos the current one is a bit f'ed. Yeah i did the whole thing myself and with a few beers lol. yeah had to remove front cv joints, tail shaft. I have removed the engine a few times in my paddock bomb so i had bit experience on this type of vehicle. would make life easier if i had a hoist. just used car stands and an engine crane. bit slower but does the job.

from engine running to gtr box out in 1 hour by myself, thats with no hoist and only axle stands and a jack to assist :P

gtr engine running and out in around 4 hours by myself as well

done box around 20 times now and engine about 10-12 times i think so gets easier the more u do it lol :laugh:

i know what bolt sizes are on every damn part of the engine and box, its pretty disturbing :)

lol nice work guys. yeah i dont think i would be strong enough to try and take gear box out from under and put it back in. hard to manipulate it in tight spaces. yeah i knew what alot of sizes where on my car. mostly 10,12,14,17.

      Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
