B_Dub Posted September 10, 2020 Report Share Posted September 10, 2020 I can attest to the audible burble factor of a Japanifold. I’ve not ran one on my own car, but heard a before and after on a friends car and it was obvious. Might as well see, and then when you’re ready make the jump to a tubular manifold 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apeacock Posted November 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2020 Never ever ends huh! had my dude change out the o ring being the outer crown nut and now the transmission fluids coming out of the inner seal it seems Wanted to spend the time (limited as it is) putting the new Japanifold on the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmsgltr Posted November 2, 2020 Report Share Posted November 2, 2020 sorry about the trans nice japanifold - did you port it out or? (what manifold do you have on yours now?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookforjoe Posted November 3, 2020 Report Share Posted November 3, 2020 Dang - they should have replaced the seal when they removed the crown wheel to do the ring - will they stand behind the work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That inner seal is changed! Isn't that more of a dust one anyways at this side? I think against the transmission deep in there is the more imperative one. I believe so yes, he said to check it and come back. Need to give it another drive around now that it's cleaned up. Doesn't that left side look like it isn't touching? 7 hours ago, gmsgltr said: sorry about the trans nice japanifold - did you port it out or? (what manifold do you have on yours now?) its cut for the t3 on the turbo. compared to the R manifold on there now this is more free flowing a should bring back the burble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe this one got damaged the the axle was reinstalled - not really likely though that's the only way transaxle oil could come along & out the BG inner seal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant be not inserted enough either as it is locked in at the bearing holder. Said he wiped away what he could from in there, residual is possible. I need to pickup a touch more redline fluid maybe that will be the trip to test this out further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe this one got damaged the the axle was reinstalled - not really likely though that's the only way transaxle oil could come along & out the BG inner seal So after taking apart the side mount to get to the official fill plug I see the gearbox had only lost a small amount of fluid, the level was still at the axle line meaning there wasn't a constant leak. Topped it up to be sure. Killed what looks like some kind of metal beast (p2 exhaust tunnel heat shielding) to make a new cover for the Japanifold Flawless! Needed the extra later on there as when I was using the torch to clean off some foam padding I melted through this layer. Looks kind of like it should be here? Additionally to feel like I'm preventing future child goo from getting inside the car (fat chance I know) I picked up a new rear seat setup. $27 for everything in this picture. Among that is also some totally unfaded vents. I was another season away from buying a new set of 3 just because. Japanifold sound update as well - Loving it. Will post a sound video soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookforjoe Posted November 30, 2020 Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 Nice work, Anthony! For the transaxle, I just drain the unit, then refill with the 2 quarts via the detent plug on the shift gate. Saves having to remove the side mount - and on the P1's the fill plug really isn't accessible without the special tool anyway... I know we had this conversation - it's always good to salvage the factory heat shields - MUCH cheaper than buying material that has the correct specification !

I know we had this conversation - it's always good to salvage the factory heat shields - MUCH cheaper than buying material that has the correct specification ! I think we did yes! My friend Matt was a little aghast at my choice to keep that from a wagon he was parting out, but I knew it would work out at some point. Next time I will drain it out and refill no doubt, I think I did it this way to start as a way to check how much, if any, was continuing to leak out of the passenger side axle. Looked at the special tool and thought Maybe a 24mm box wrench could be heated and bent to the right shape for that. Probably not. And thank you! This was for sure the right material for the job and I think it's probably more form fitting then an oem one at this point. Can't bring myself to do a hood vent like some of us....

apeacock Posted January 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2021 (edited) grabbed a p2 single pod bezel and boost gauge for the xc70, little something extra to look at in there - [url=https://imgur.com/55TMoLh][img]http://i.imgur.com/55TMoLhh.jpg[/img][/url] [img]https://i.imgur.com/55TMoLhh.jpg[/img] Edited January 12, 2021 by apeacock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apeacock Posted March 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2021 (edited) Finally have wo bumps tops in the back of the wagon now. Used the part numbers from Matt's 850 swap. Team it with a 40mm m10 hex cap and a 5/16 washer from Home depot. Should be set with some blue thread locker in there. Did the rear brakes as well. Seeing how crusty the back of the disc was I figured it was time. That and I bought the pads for these March 21st 2015, and the discs were used from Husseins xc70r build. E brake hardware in the kit from TRW seemed incorrect? I reused the old stuff, you can see how they are too short in every way. New 700lb blue coil springs in the back of the car as well. 600s still bottomed out unless the shocks were set to 8/8. I left the perches at the same height 25cm from the subframe on the car. We will see how much it settles down. Otherwise a small height reduction might be needed. Held the phone at the end of my arms reach and did a front / rear comparison.
