Hi.. One thing I didn't hear you talk about was something I'm interested in.... How much of a difference in horsepower upgrade was there going from 1900cc to 2100cc to 2200cc during your debacle? Also how are things going over a year later?
Initially it was noticeably stronger going up hills. Then I had it tuned as the idle was a bit high. What I notice is that every mechanic has an opinion and it's not always right. After the tune it felt like a 1.9. Now I need to get it tuned again and I need someone that can check the timing and the air fuel mixture. A year later the engine is good, leak free. But it needs to be tuned again. A new engine is nice, but it's painful and will not solve all your issues. Best of luck...let me know. Cheers
I’ve heard good things about this engine but the power problem remains and no one I found in Tennessee where I lived would work on it. I had the same problem after I moved to Arkansas. Going Subaru. Nice looking engine bay.
Thank you! It's been a journey for sure. Computer: www.aliexpress.com/item/4000109557122.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.45994c4dyfuNcb I have 80 miles on the rebuild GoWesty engine :)
@@geofab3281 The gowesty engine was a much better experience for me when compared to one of the cheaper alternatives from another vendor. It's very painful and costly if your new rebuilt engine leaks because like in my case they had to pull the engine multiple times and then eventually I went with gowesty.
@@geofab3281 mine is a 2200. Which is still an upgrade from the original 1.9. I did consider the other size up, but I did not want to always add premium gas.
So when you installed the gowesty engine Costa Mesa transmission did everything? And what am I looking at in total price for engine and installation. Jc
They did everything, pull old core, received new engine, installed new engine, and scheduled the core pickup. Please contact the for an estimate as mine was very complicated. They did an amazing job and are wonderful people.
