Hi Phil,
Please excuse my ignorance as I'm not that knowledgeable about engines. I read a lot of post direct injection failures because these are just "slip on rubber seals" and a few folks posted how they tracked the cars and had engine failures because of the direct injection seals leaking from heat damage.
How are you able to over come that issue? That video sounds fantastic of you going through the gears... I am on the fence about keeping my BRZ coming from Z4M, this car is kinda gutless and handling the Z4M is slightly better. I had hoped for FI solution since I need to be CARB certified, but the direction injection stories I hear has stopped me from investing into such solution or just getting another car. I like the fact that the 86 cars are light.
Can you please give some insight into this issue with your engine build? Wishing you were over here in the west coast...The 86 car hasn't been a dream as I had hoped it would be... The lack of power and 2nd gear issue has limited some of my joys with this car. Would love to fix this issue versus getting a different car. Thanks!
