On another note. What you recommend for a good quality bov. I believe the one on the car is a "imitation" HKS ssqv. It doesn't want to close all the way went I return to idle. Dunno if it's the bov or maybe I need a better vac source. Thought about replacing it with a real one or maybe a diff. one.

LOL. I love my exhaust but the ticking from the engine compartment is annoying. Def. getting a RB and ditching the Corkcrap dp. I'm not so concerned now about the leak because it's winter and the underhood temps won't be too bad, but don't want to let it go into the spring where temps are up.

ya i know stock fans work better but this is for the geo, do you know the dimensions off hand of the fan chuck? also i have a question about running a fan, i have seen on some cars include corollas that they have an extra fan in front of the raditor, does that spin a different way? also how many fans is to much? i wanted an extra fan so i can flip it on after turning the car off that is why i want two. anyone have any help hints?

I bet the GEO would be ok.. with out a fan..
have you tried going to a junkard??? I'm sure a fan from a buick would work fine..
besides i wouldn't waste any money on it.. if you wanted to spend money.. spend it on a $800 4agZe with trans!!!!
oh, that fan i was talking about would like propell the RX-3 forward when sitting static..
~0 rolling resistance FTW!!!

ryan, I thought I told you,... Let me check my e-mails .. and I'll get back to you..
ok, so Jeff, you would consider swapping to 4agze pistons... but not the whole engine..
sounds cost effective to me..

ya but the geo isnt a scrap car eh derek, and no its not cost effective but thats not what im going for, i want a stronger piston and to lower the compression i wanna stick to the same block so i can still call it a 4afe well then a 4AFTE
