Have used the magic goo a few times, seems to break down and lose it's effect after about 6 months. But for the first 4-6 months, what a difference.

Sorry to be the bringer of bad vibes, but I have explored this possibility myself and found the following flaws in the theory: The standard EA81 does not take kindly to forced induction due to it's long intake passages, the dual inlet twin carb EA81 or EA81T heads would be required to overcome this....

You don't actually gain a higher gear with the L Series conversion, the L Series 5th = Brumby 4th, what you do gain is a gear between your current 3rd and 4th ratios which makes driving a larger tyres bit more manageable.

I am told that there is a plug-in for Google Sketch Up that lets you import images, specify 1 known measurement and it will work out everything else, even for 3 dimensional images.

Have not used it myself but have been told it is quite impressive.

Might be worth a shot.

Wifi is never going to be particularly reliable, cable is always your best bet. If you're not in a position to run network cable you can use ethernet over power adaptors. A few here to choose from: http://www.techbuy.com.au/searchcat/NETWORKING_ETHERNET_OVER_POWER.asp Netgear would be my pick. No ne...

Don't replace the DMF, get a solid flywheel from an EJ22 and matching clutch kit.

EJ22 clutch kit is about $300.

Scrounge a flywheel from a wreckers or someones conversion left overs, get it machined and put it all together.

They have 1 welch plug each side, accessible with the engine in place via a rubber gromet in the front wheel arches.

Sounds to me like he has taken a known issue and skipped passed all the facts to an ineffective solution. Issue: The EJ25's are notorious for needing a rebuild after "overheating". The details he has skipped over: By "overheating" we are talking about running out of water, blowing a hose, etc. No ma...

I recent PM that I thought might help others: Carburetor upgrades The most common upgrade is a weber 32/36 DGV (manual choke), DGEV (electric choke), DGAV (water choke) or a 180 holley, they're all essentially the same carb, you'll need to buy or build an adaptor plate. Cost: Carb $50, rebuild kit $...

We have 3 kids from 9 months to 6 years old, so our Gen3 Outback is chock-a-block full of baby/booster seats. When the convertable seats/capsule are rear facing they do make it quite difficult for anyone taller than about 5'8" to sit in the front. We have just turned around our last rear facing seat...

In combination with moving the expansion bottle higher you might be able to gain the difference you need by reclining the radiator a little more to reduce the height. You might need to make up a triangle shaped intake adaptor for the carby rather than using a bent pipe but I think it should give the...

I'm still here, just sitting in the background as an active lurker, living vicariously through other peoples projects that I don't have time for. Never had anything as adventurous as cement in the doors, thats a little too far outside of regulations, I thought 4WD was pushing it enough already. This...

The EA81's really do not like having split exhausts, I once cut up a set of Y pipes and 2 standard exhaust systems turning the resonators into trumpets to create this: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-9014090186542830137 It was an absolute pig to get started and did not idle at all. With a s...

When I saw the subject the first thing that popped into my mind was the old TV ad with the echidna "sick 'em rex" ;) Not all of the old users have abandoned the board, some, like myself, have merely reduced their participation level to "active lurker" We're still here, we just hide in the shadows :c...

would this sc be compatible with an ej20?? shouldn't make that much difference should it? Yes it would work but it would be a matter of sizing the pulleys to achieve your desired result. Using the same ratio as Hatchie has would result on higher boost on an EJ20, I remember doing the figures with D...

This is all just here say but I have heard:

"Air con takes 10-20hp to run"

"Aircon style electromagnetic clutch's won't hold beyond 4psi on a super charger"

No idea how accurate any of that is but it gives you a starting point.

Sorry, meant to post this earlier but got distracted by something shiny (*cough* Gran Turismo 5 *cough*)

This is everything I have from when I was doing my EJ18 conversion, I was told the EJ16 was the same also.

I have most of them in high resolution if you need it.

The 2 most common options I used when installing aftermarket head units in this still of dash were: 1) There's an aftermarket mob that make replacement dash facias to support all the HVAC and allow installation of a standard head unit. They can be a little pricey though. I can't think of their name ...
