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.

    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
