  1. As mentioned, you need the forward (wideband) o2 sensor for fuel adjustments. The rearward sensor is for emissions. Using RomRaider & Ecuflash you can easily just disable the rear sensor and avoid a CEL if you don't have a cat
  2. I can understand your pain with the interference between the bellhousing and the turbo. IMO that's the worst part of the whole job. I wouldn't shy from putting a little radius on the bellhousing with a die grinder if it looks like that'll make it easier

  4. My washers aren't working, either. The rears work fine but the fronts don't work at all. Are they on separate pumps? On my last car there was a sort of check valve in the lines to the washer nozzles that would fail eventually; I hope someone has a similar (easy) fix
  5. Yikes! Sorry to hear about that; I've removed them the last 2 times I've done spark plugs on my 05 2.5T
  6. Well, underneath my car last weekend I saw that my *driver*'s side inner boot is torn now too. Last time I went the lower ball joint route and the capture bolt broke right off. Can the lower pivots for the control arm be unbolted and swing the knuckle enough from there? Or the struts (knowing about alignment issues)? What's most simple, and doesn't involve the lower ball joint?
  7. I've been following the thread, awesome build frankster! Question: Are you starting with a GNX or any old 3800? I know you're putting pistons in it and a new turbo so it probably doesn't matter, or does it? You said on the first page that the stock crank and rods are good for 700+hp, is that all 3800s or just the GN/GNX?
  8. You shouldn't have to pull the axles to replace the clutch - I didn't. And I did it twice because I missed putting the pilot bearing on the flywheel the first time through. None of the auto parts stores around me, including autozone, rent jacks of any sort. I was able to rent one (a trans jack) at a run-of-the-mill local tool & equipment rental place. Really though, if you have two guys I found it easier with just a floor jack and jack satnd
  9. FWIW, this mod seems pretty reliable. I've had it on for some time now without complaint from the car. When I was data logging I tagged it on a run and the ECU read the EGT as perfectly constant the whole time, somewhere around 1475 if I remember right. I'm guessing it (the ECU) doesn't use it for tuning, because IMO that sounds a little rich
  10. According to their website, part 81609 is the axle for turbo cars My thought on that link is how do you have over 500 posts? It should be more work to remove, rebuild and reinstall the axle than remove the old and insert a new one
  11. autozone doesn't rent them, but a lot of tool rental companies do. A big and a small variant from my experience, and we want the small
  12. I would be very careful about those disc-style gap tools, or any sort of precise measuring device for a buck. Using a set of feeler gauges is a lot more reliable
  13. Billfer ... Is yours an XT? I was able to replace mine in my 05 outback XT no problem, next time I will jack up the engine a half inch though
  14. For reference: I first tried using the drivers provided with OpenEcu 1.29a for the cable. These worked fine with RomRaider's logger - but while OpenEcu would recognize a cable was connected by the read button being active it, would tell me that it was unable to connect to OpenPort. I uninstalled the drivers and tried the ones linked to on the first page here with the same results, ensuring correct baud rate and trying several different ports So, I uninstalled the drivers from the port and uninstalled OpenEcu 1.29a. I installed OpenEcu 1.42.2595, at the time most current, and its openport drivers. Rebooted, and OpenEcu was able to read my ECU without problem! This is using the blue connector with silver wire cable EDIT: Successfully flashed new map with latest version of OpenECU and logged with RomRaider without issue
