I want to add a 25mm spacer. Making it 9j-3. Which would be 4.38" inside and 4.62" outside. Which I believe would still fit with just a roll. (S14)

With 17x7j+38 with 50mm spacer making it 7j-12. That would mean 3.02" on the inside and 3.98" on the outside. (Again, from face that meets rotor).

Really depends on what you want to do to the fenders, or how much camber you wanna run.

Unless my math is completely off............ If it's right, then to figure all this out it's simple.

Any issues making the radiator support removable?

My car is track-only and it seems like it would be useful to be able to remove that piece. I currently have my engine bay down to just the metal and I have a spot weld removal bit.

The metal up front is all pretty thin, any issues with chassis strength?

What would benefit from a removable radiator support?

theriver43 · 11-30-2011, 03:15 PM

I've been having problems with my KA-T fluctuating boost when past about 75% on throttle, like so http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwgSBTsKp3Q. My EGR was leaking, so i blocked that off and as far as I can tell it is no longer leaking. My Z32 MAF (blow through) has started leaking again after I've used plastic epoxy to seal it back up. Now after another leak test I've found http://i.imgur.com/U3je7.jpg to be leaking. It's right below my EGR block off. What is it?

None at all. Obviously some of the mounting pieces will need to be addressed but nothing major. I'd personally keep the lower rad support...but the next time I take out my motor I'm cutting the top piece and making it removable for sure.

On track, anything to make stuff easier to work on is a benefit, especially with time constraint.

Throw it out, just an intake resonator box

It seems like a huge vacuum leak causing the BOV to vent, or even the wastegate to act goofy. Hard to say without driving in it. You're running this off factory wastegate though? What if you stay in it for a bit does it keep doing the same thing? If so I'd venture to say it's a vacuum issue, or a bad vacuum source.

Its a tial 38mm 7 lb wastegate. It does it from 1st through 4th. In 5th, it creeps to 15 psi. My source for bov is a distribution block off the brake booster. Wastegate is sourced from compressor housing on my precison sc50

nevermind, i got it!

it quiets the intake some... like an exhaust resonator will quiet your exhaust system.

Similar thing happened to me on my high boost. The old clamps I was using wouldn't hold the pressure during boost. Eventually they pop off. Went with tbolts and everythings good. So yea, like stated above, sounds like you have a leak. Atleast under heavy load. Though I have no idea what that pic is of.

I'm wondering if its possible to widen a wheel that isn't 3 piece, and not have any structural issues to worry about?

killer240 · 12-01-2011, 08:18 PM

im planning to run 2 12" subs in the future and 4 speakers. is 200 amp circuit breaker good enough?

MeGusta · 12-01-2011, 08:30 PM

how much do you guys think i can get for a 5lug set up?

s14 spindles w/ s14 5lug , rear 5lug w/ uprights, Flca, s14 wheels with ok tires??

killer240 · 12-01-2011, 09:02 PM

^^ theres other 5 lug swap setups thats cheaper..

like J30 front hubs and press in your old bearings if their still good, Z32 rear n/a hubs or S14

*andrew600* · 12-01-2011, 10:17 PM

lflkajfj12123 · 12-02-2011, 04:20 AM

Can anyone point me to some pictures of someone replacing the rear quarter panel on an s14? I believe I saw a guy cut out a quarter panel of a shell and weld it onto his car... thanks

Would a leaky front main seal cause oil pressure to be low?

Anyone happen to know if they motor mount off a single cam will work on a twin cam engine?

Yes it will.

*flame suit*

was looking at aftermarket fuel rails, and they all seem to be top feed only, and right now I'm still running stock 270s. Can I use the sohc injectors in the aftermarket rail on my duel cam motor? With the use of an aftermarket rail, will i run into rich conditions?

Thx guys

If the Rotora kit is made to simply bolt onto the STI/WRX then yes, it should work.

Unless of course the rotora kit includes their own brackets, you would need to use both brackets and that would look silly or probably not even work.

It would work, unless clearance issues arise. But I don't know about the safeness of using 2 adapter brackets.

Would Black RTV Silicone work to seal the taillights in a hatch rather than butyl rubber?
