The Journey 89 turbo'ed-----89T

No. It's a 4.0 the 4.2 is $124 I did not even look for the 4.9

I'm out of the loop a bit, what exactly is the difference?

Like the vent system you got there to. Did you remove the stock black catch can and add a plug?

Here is a link on the difference between the 4.2 and 4.9 sensors.
Bosch LSU 4.9 is superior to LSU 4.2 sensors - ECOTRONS

After doing some fourm searching, it seems like the 4.2 and 4.9 sensors are not lasting over 6 months on most high power builds. That's why I got the economy version. Lol. It swings just fine for me.

I left the box in and tapped the top hole for a -10 an fitting. I have to order a weld in -12 AN steel fitting for the oil pan drain back. I totally forgot about that. I also need to order the d - series block kit that Tim got, to tie into the block. It seems like the single -10 an is not cutting it. I may plug it and add 2 -12 fittings to the side/bottom for those connections.

Dam 4.0 the inventive ones are 84 for the 4.9

Innovative? I'll keep that in mind.

[89T]

Was it a faulty spark plug or the wire even?

I am curious about your pcv system because of the vented top. There will have to be quite a bit of vacuum for the gases to be pulled into the exhaust because you'll mainly be sucking in fresh air, because they are before the other lines.

What do you think?

It was a bad wire.
Sorry for not responding.
I went to a vent to atmosphere setup. I plugged up that check valve pipe.

That's what I thought.

Problem is that it's not a plug and play with the AEM Wideband controller.
You can get the same sensor for $53 at AZ. I forgot the part# though

Just a fyi on that d-series plug your gonna have to cut the first oring groove off then get a new oring for it to work. I forgot to take pics when i did this on mine but its pretty simple.

You the man Tim!

[89T]

I am pulling the motor. Re-ring it or find out wtf.

[obd0driver]

Dam that sucks

[Tdurr]

I am pulling out.

Bro wrong forum?...

[89T]

Lol. Craziness!
You have been ingesting too much tranny fluid.

[87roach]

How come man??

[Tdurr]

I have but hes ripping the motor out because blowby is too much if im not mistaken

[obd0driver]

Correct about the blowby but I was thinking it was because he needed better venting if the block. Will see soon

[89T]

Well there's a laundry list of s*** wrong with it. Looks like the crank walked. Chewed up the bearing and the number 3 main cap. It was about to spin a rod bearing at the same location. piston number 2 the lower oil ring just hanging off of there. Hopefully the cam is alright. Question is do i do another a20or just dropped my b18 in there. It would be a lot cheaper if I just do another a 20. with the B18 and I would have to get a new intake, turbo manifold, downpipe, flywheel, clutch, pressure plate, cams, axels, mounts the whole nine yards.

it's simple if you ask me. Get a new A20. It's cheaper and you're making more power.

[89T]

Yeah I have a spare a20. It will probably go to the machine shop next week.
What would cause it to walk though.

[obd0driver]

I would send that crank too and have it balanced.

[89T]

Yup. Along with flywheel and pully

[obd0driver]

this would be a good time to take it all the way and have it knife edged. just saying tho.

[89T]

We will see. That's like an extra $400

[89T]

Everything is good to go. Just got to try and get off work early and drop this junk off.

[87roach]

Dang man, hopefully you can figure out what happened so you can avoid it again. Glad to see that you're not messing around and dealing with it quickly!!
