I think that's more suspension and Alignment IMO

Anyone interested in my 4piston head, DC 4 cams, 74mm TB and adapter, Nippon pistons and Scat rods? All of it is brand new. I've decided to stick with my current stock block setup from here on out.

Any particular reason you are sticking with the stock block?

As much as I'd like the bump in power I'm really enjoying not tinkering with the car. I still haven't even tuned for e85 yet, that's how little I want to mess with it right now. I'll probably regret selling it all but I can always revisit later down the road.

Yeah I totally agree. My car with it's old used junkyard engine is still incredibly fun to drive and while another 50+hp would be great I really don't need it. Only reason I am building an engine on the side is to be ready when the engine inevitably blows up. But hey 7700 miles on the swap so far and still going strong

That's what I've been telling myself while collecting parts but honestly I think if this current one lets go, I'll just swap in another used block and go straight back to party mode. My current engine is doing awesome so far. It started with 260k miles before I got it and I've put another 11k miles on top of that without a hiccup. Will there be any fa20s out there with that many miles at some point?

He asked if any FAs would get that kind of mileage LOL. Obviously this is easy for Ks and this guy from FB is an anomaly.

Obviously the fa20 is synonymous with reliability. I sit corrected.

Wouldn't that be nice? But subaru

Can anyone walk me through the software update and transfer of prior tune modifications to the new tune? I haven’t opened the software since April. I don’t want to mess anything up.

About to start my swap to CD trans.

I'm mildly concerned about "just update it and go" since some of the version notes between what last worked for our cars and this version talk about functionality changes. I'll look through the list later.
