oh yes… you 100% need a 4th gen water pump. The 3rd gen does not fit and function, as you’ve discovered. My car uses the 4th gen water pump,...
My “JDM” 4th gen engine might very well have come from a low miles US based vehicle; it didn’t have either of these festures that you all usually...
Sadly, the only way to go about the repair you were attempting is to load-test and charge/restore each cell one by one with a balance charger, and...
The EGR would cause a misfire at idle if the valve were stuck open. It should be fully shut at idle or very close, not allowing any exhaust...
@Mendel Leisk I agree. I would absolutely encourage anyone doing the swap to keep their current EGR cooler setup. I did it simply to see if it...
Yes. Rear pipe might have gone with a slight bit more heating and bending. I basically removed one cutoff wheel’s thickness out of the pipe. The...
Is the period key broken on your keyboard? Wow! (n) I got the gist of it, however. (y) The 4th gen engine was appealing because I was back on...
Oh… round about this size, give or take a few smidgens. Welded it down to around 1/4” with the expectation to go back in with a carbide burr and...

Update: after three days of local test drives, my wife hopped into it and drove it 6 hours to Knoxville, TN. Held 75-80 the whole way without...
Interesting take. This one is completely immaculate, and squeak and rattle free. 2011 at 201k miles. The 3rd gen came out when I was still working...
Correct. I expect to clean that point often. It was chosen specifically becuase I can do that with every oil change in less than 5 minutes with a...
I also fixed(?) the driveability concern causedby the 4G EGR cooler today… [ATTACH] Monitoring the datastream whike driving made it very easy to...
Definitely! Had a feeling we were saying the same thing. I diagrammed out how my coolant system is plumbed. Rember, I have a JDM motor with...
I think more likely we’re discussing two different lines. YELLOW HIGHLIGHTER: I am referring to THIS line that passes beneath the intake...
My JDM engine came with the line from the water pump that wraps around the motor, and the US-style water outlet on the back of the head that did...
As best I can describe: factory J-bend hose goes to EGR inlet on back. Out top of EGR into cat. Exit cat into heater core. Exit heater core into...
I heated, bent, cut, and welded the rear pipe to perfectly fit the 4th gen EGR. (y) Before I explore reverse-metal-fab, I’m going to drive it...
