So i noticed that recently my 1jz has been leaking oil from the oil cap and the rubber hose near the turbos. Any idea what it might be? I'm guessing maybe the PCV valve? I think I replaced it when I did the swap 4 years ago. One time I also noticed the oil dip stick sticking out a little bit. I...

Thats what I thought so I didn't bother adjusting it when I put the rotors on. Maybe my old ebay rotors weren't to spec? Either way its just a minor annoyance having to remove the rotor to adjust.

Yes I used some 2mm spacers. I have the 4 pot Wilwoods. The pedal feel feels about the same as it did with the stock rears. Everything seems to be working great together. For some reasons my parking brake is looser now. I guess I have to readjust it for the STI rotors. The Wilwood and Evo...

Well I got my brakes installed this weekend. The good news is when combined with my AZ Wilwoods the rears don't lock up before the fonts. The bad news is I flat spotted one of my front tires while bedding in the rears. The install was actually really easy. Everything just went together without...

Those look like mine. I think should be the same.

What type of machine shop are you guys using. Just came back from the place I usually go to and they said they couldn't do it. Should I be looking for something other than an automotive machine shop?

If anybody is interested I found the best deal on these calipers. Amazon has the rebuilt by centric for $98 each with hardware. I have not been able to find a better deal. Sold and shipped by Amazon so if you have prime you get free 2 day shipping. Even the used ones on ebay are close to $200...

Ok so who has actually installed a proportioning valve on an MK3? How do you know what bias you want and how do you test it other than going somewhere and braking hard and seeing how it behaves? This seems more complicated than the actual brake upgrade. I found this link that actually has a...

Are you using Wilwood pads? I didn't see any compatible pads for the evo on their website. I was thinking of getting some Hawk HPS pads for the rear. The fronts would still have the Wilwood ones included with the kit. Yea I checked it out. Nice build...the calipers look nice. I want to paint...

So I just installed the AZ Front BBK and now really interested in doing this setup. Is anybody running this setup yet? It seems like it would be a good match. How would the bias be? I don't know crap about bias and how to really set it up so I'm hoping the evo setup with my AZ kit will work well.

So while pulling the connectors what am I looking for? I figure as soon as I pull one of the connectors the engine will miss even worse.

Well it seems like when the car is cold its almost unnoticeable. After I come back from a drive its more noticeable. I think it may just be a slight miss and it gets a little worse after the car has been warmed up and driven. The car drives perfect though. Full boost seems to be around 11 psi...

NGK (4644) BKR7E Spark Plug @ .28 I dont have any leaks that I can find. I don't hear any hissing. I dont have the ground wire that plugs up the the back of the head connected. I realized it wasn't connected after the engine was in and now I cant figure out how to hook it up.

around 900 - 1200 anything after 2000 and its gone

I only notice it on idle and when I rev it it goes away.

They are brand new OEM mounts. The engine has a very slight miss on idle. It seems to behave normal while driving. Its doesn't break up or anything like that under boost. If the exhaust system was missing one of the rubber holders by the tranny would that add to the shake? I was missing that one...

It seems to be running pretty good but it gets a slight shake after a while. It started right up on the first try so that felt good. Now I'm just trying to work out the kinks. The engine also seems to torque more that my 7M. Its got new square mounts on the adapter brackets. I figured it...
