so i pulled the head, here's what it looks like:







so what i'm gonna do is just replace the piston and try to get it running by octoberfast which if most of you dont know its an autox between idaho and utah regions held in pocatello, then maybe this winter i'm gonna tear it down and prolly do a stroker

 

The car is sold, but I do have the replacement rotors (DBA500) + hardware. They are brand new in a box, but you would have to buy the aluminum hats. Let me know if you are interested and I will make you a good deal on those.

 

wow that doenst look so good. if you think of it this way though, pistons arent that expensive, i think what like $500 for a set of really high quality ones... can you buy pistons individually???

hell yes, get that car ready for octoberfast! i hope you didnt sell your wheels and tires! when i am up there, i can help point out a lot of weight reduction stuff that might help you out a lot

 

yeah, i'm really shooting for it, next week i'm gonna pull that rod/piston out and make sure the bearings and everything is still good, then take it to the machine shop and have the new one mated to the rod, i think i'm just gonna do the stock one for now, i'm gonna get it ordered tomorow from my local mitsu stealership

and no, i didnt sell them, i ended selling my stock wheel/tires if nothing else, i still have my old slicks that i can drive down there on, and go to a les schwab and have the new ones put on

 

wow that is interesting that cyl. is the one that is using oil on my motor where is the rest of it??? did it go through the exhaust & mess up the valves, turbo ect??? are you going to hone the cyl before putting the new one in or what??

 

kinda looks light in color like it went lean or something...

 

i dont know where it went

the head will be at the machine shop on monday to see if any valves are messed up

 

This was my head befor



It runs much better now.

 

It's hard to say by looking at the pictures, but it looks like there are signs of detonation in all 4 cylinders.

Who did the tuning?

 

Ya PM me a price and do you know where I can get the aluminum hats at? I would like to try one of your wheels on to make sure it fits my car. I think I will buy those to if they fit.

 

That is how it was when I got the car It was running at 1.5 Bar so about 22-23 Psi and the car was all stock. I turned the boost down to 17-18psi for now. The motor had 61K on it and I don't know how long befor that it was ran at that boost. I still Beat a Stock 06 STI when my car was running crappy with a bad motor I want to get cams, injectors, and get it tuned some how. I don't know what to do its OBD1 I have no idea when it comes to tuning?

 

Jake, what brand is the Ski/Snowboard rack? Does it have a fairing? What are the attachments, are they a button down type?

I may be interested if the price is right

 

I'll have to check to be sure, its a Yamaha as far as I know though. Fairing... Dunno what the hell that is so most likely not... And if button down is the type that latches on the inside of the door frame then yes.

 

Hi All,
