Spencer Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Yea my thoughts were if there is a spring in there, surely it can be replaced with one that is stiffer and has the same dimensions? sounds like you can. As for lift you just get your massive cams made up then you may have to remove some range from your cam gear? thats what all the Honda lads do. Or be a hero test out piston clearances at various cam angles and make sure you don't use the range of motion that makes it go bang haha. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keltik Posted November 20, 2013 Author Share Posted November 20, 2013 definatly can, mates built a forged ez30r/dtech built it and yeah they put springs in so defiantly possible. Brenton couldve bought a reasonable sized luxury country wine estate for the price of his motor. So the argument "Brenton did it" can get fucked. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRWEST Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 haha agreed however the springs were cheap i believe. The forged pistons, rods, bearings, gaskets, holset hx55, sinco manifolds and piping were where the $$$ at lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keltik Posted November 25, 2013 Author Share Posted November 25, 2013 Wee bit of an upgrade happened. I'd forgot i backordered this out of Australia like 3 months ago...then it turned up! So i used my nice new Wayco floor jack that i couldnt resist purchasing and fitted it. Was a piece of cake with a decent lifting device instead of a bottle jack and various pieces of wood. Shouldve got one of these ages ago. Not so much axle tramp in the back end now, the diff still behaves like a spoiled child throwing its toys out the cot occasionally....but its good enough for now.

keltik Posted November 26, 2013 Author Share Posted November 26, 2013 The LSD likes to just give up and let one wheel go crazy for a bit then lock again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keltik Posted March 12, 2014 Author Share Posted March 12, 2014 Gonna give the LSD one more hoon on the track then i'ma swap it out for a viscous unit. In other news, oil consumption is holding steady but the car is throwing out some decent blue clouds after engine braking. Clubsub nats is in May so i'll be attending that and attempting to relive my engine of its conrods. New block will shortly be in the shed. I have acquired a complete 1st gen EZ30. Have a few options on what to do with it; 1) Remove heads, swap shortblock in with my better heads on it. Low cost, relatively easy, no power gains but a much fresher block. 2) Keep the old motor as a spare, slam a turbo on the new one with stock internals and see what happens. Have seen others make an extremely drivable reliable 250wkw....which is regarded as the limit for a Subaru 5speed box. 3) Keep the current engine going as long as possible and use the time to acquire turbo parts and some new rods n pistons. Swap my good heads onto the new block and have an utterly monstrous demon motor capable of a drivetrain destroying reliable 450wkw. Obviously this option has issues such as costing a lot more than id like it to and producing enough power to affect the rotation of the earth. Also, without spending 3k on a 6 speed gearbox swap, I would need electroshock therapy to program some restraint into my brain. Some other combination of forced induction, heads and blocks would also be doable. I have no idea which way I want to go yet. All I know is that my current engine has a finite lifespan that im approaching the end of. Funny how its lasted around 200,000kms exactly the same as the first one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 4) Slam turbo onto current engine - gives the engine a legitimate excuse to burn oil 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truenotch Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Plan 1. The car goes well enough already. Then build a 450kw Brumby. /13b 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keltik Posted March 23, 2014 Author Share Posted March 23, 2014 Saw roadkill using a scavenge pump on their turbo setup and thought "YES! Now I can mount a snail at the back of the motor with ease!" then saw price of said scavenge pumps. Fuckthatshit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllTorque Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 The new turbo legacys mount the turbo low up front and use a oil pump. Probably too new to find a parts donor tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keltik Posted April 15, 2014 Author Share Posted April 15, 2014 Oil usage has come right again after a damned hard thrashing. I believe the rings were getting gummed up with shit from just idling around town with no load on it. Have re-listed the car for sale as a result. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
