skyblue Posted September 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 this is where the temp lives now. Couldn't be happier. also, just for my records i changed the oil the other day. Odometer around 6,000 miles There's also a ratlting/knocking noise coming from the engine. At first i thought it was the chain slapping from stretch, but the noise sounds like its coming from the middle to rear of engine. Checked oil pressure and its right where it should be. Borrowed Busta nuts stethoscope to try to find the source but we couldn't pin point where the noise is coming from. needless to say im gonna baby it or now. the engine is 3 years old, but while talking to busta last night he pointed out that i drive it a lot and hard. Between DD status, track days, autocross and long trips to canby the engine probably has close to 60k miles. So i am at a cross roads. do I try to patch this engine up, or build a fresh 2.2L with dual weber 45's? also, my diff is noisy AF too as well as the tranny. :crying: poor girl needs an overhaul. 2 Quote Link to comment

mattyhacks71 Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 Moroso? Whats the rest of the plumbing like? Quote Link to comment
edekalil Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 Finally got a catch can. That's cool, I might get one for the goon or for sure to use with the L20b I have and need to put together. Quote Link to comment
skyblue Posted October 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 Moroso? Whats the rest of the plumbing like? Yea moroso. the rest is the following. I bought these 2 PCV elbows at atuozone. the big rubber one is for a ford and fits perfectly over the breather pipe out the side of the L16 block. the smaller plastic one is for a GM and is what is hooked up to the catch can side. The smaller end of the ford elbow is 5/8" and so i used this coupler. Then got about a foot and a half of PCV hose to connect the catch can elbow to the coupler and voila! sorry i didn't take better pics so i hope this all makes sense. 3 Quote Link to comment

skyblue Posted November 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 so i'm giving DOTY a break. She's getting pretty beat up out there. This happened on my way home on 880. It's the 3rd chip in the last year and a half. I parked it at my dads and grabbed the truck. After a week there my dad called me and told me one of the tires is flat. Turns out I ran over a screw from driving her to a construction site for work so i threw the spare on and took the wheel to get patched. So that's where I'm at. DDing a 510 isn't all its cracked up to be. 2 Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 DDing a 510 isn't all its cracked up to be. You said a mouthful there. But I do miss it... When the weather is nice... ^_^ 1 Quote Link to comment
4perrev Posted November 14, 2016 Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 Sorry to hear bout the bad luck. Hopefully you can source a window pretty easy and chuck a plug in her left rear. Quote Link to comment
Plusnone Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 Just finished reading through this entire thread. Nice work man!!! I love your attention to details that really pull the car together as a whole. A sweet little ride that I'm sure I'll look to as inspiration for my green 4dr! I'm here in the east bay as well and I know the streets can be rough! Hope to see this thing in person one day. 2 Quote Link to comment
