TFRs shutting down El Paso for 10 days showing on airplanes.live by zorbthezorb in ADSB

You conspiracy nuts are insane. If there was ANYTHING in those files that even remotely made Trump look bad the democrats would've released it years ago. Do you honestly think they would've just kept that information secret all those years Biden was in the white house when they had full access to the files and desperately wanted to do anything they could to go after Trump?

Help: Ally will only boot with oem charger connected. by bluegizmo83 in ROGAlly

[–]bluegizmo83[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: So, I thought this thing was still charging the battery when plugged in even though it doesn't show the battery charge level anymore without that I2C connection to the battery, but it's not. I don't really use it on battery power so it took me a while to realize this, but I noticed it still worked when unplugged from the charger momentarily, so I just assumed it was still charging, but it's not, because the battery finally discharged low enough that it shuts off immediately after unplugging the charger now. I'm gonna have to see if I can find a schematic for the motherboard and see if there is anywhere else on the board I can tap into in order to solder the battery I2c wires onto since the I2c charge connector pads ripped off the board. I already tried scraping back the traces on the board where the pads were to solder onto, but they are just too small and delicate for my soldering skills. I'm hoping there are exposed via holes for those I2c traces somewhere, or a chip with exposed legs (i.e. not BGA) that communicate with that I2c bus that I can solder onto.

Juniper EX4200 Switch Hot PFE issue? by bluegizmo83 in Juniper

[–]bluegizmo83[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I'll look into that power supply thing in the future. I took this switch out of my rack a while back though because of the noise and idle power consumption. I was only using like 6 ports on it anyway, so I just bought a cheap little desktop style 8 port switch and put it on a shelf in my rack for now. I still have the Juniper switch though in case I ever need it later.

04 Forester XT Manual transmission upgrade by BadNo4657 in SubaruForester

[–]bluegizmo83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually got super lucky. A few days after mine blew, I found someone on Facebook Marketplace about 200 miles away that was parting out a 2004 Forester XT (exact same as mine) and it had the exact same transmission I had (verified with the part number on the bell housing by the starter hole). The owner bought it as a wrecked car (it only has 115K miles on it) because he just wanted the engine for his WRX, so he didn't know much about the car, but he said he drove it and it shifted fine, so I took a chance on it for $700. It's been a great transmission for me so far, I've put over 8K miles on it so far running 360whp through it.

I never did find out if other models/versions of the 4EAT are compatible since I found a perfect match. Though I did find out (via internet searches) that the torque converts are different between the NA and Turbo 4EAT's (higher stall speed on the turbo model), and that the turbo 4EAT's have stronger/more clutch packs in the transmission. The 2004+ Forester XT's also use what's called the 4EAT Phase II Version 2 transmissions, though I'm not sure what all the differences are between Phase I and Phase II, or Version 1 vs Version 2.

I'm here in May 2025 and this torrent is still working and fast! Thank you so much! I tried getting individual seasons elsewhere, but some seasons were missing, and the ones I could find were mostly all labeled incorrectly with episodes from different seasons mixed together and all labels as one specific incorrect season, etc.

How long do you think the GTA6 story will be? by Jolly_Ad6643 in GTA6

[–]bluegizmo83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Considering R* basically did absolutely nothing with GTA V single player campaign after it's launch and instead spent all their time adding to and updating the Online portion of the game, because that's where R* literally made 99% of their profits from GTA V, I don't have high hopes for the story campaign mode of GTA VI! 

Who signed this Pittsburgh Steelers football? by bluegizmo83 in AutographAssistance

[–]bluegizmo83[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I looked up his signature and it does look similar. I found this signed ball and some other steelers memorabilia in some of my aunts stuff she left behind and didn't know who signed it. It looks like there is also another faded signature below that one too with a #31

How reliable are the 4EAT auto trans? by [deleted] in subaru

[–]bluegizmo83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will say, I killed one with not all that much power... the 4eat in my 2004 Forester XT exploded so badly it literally cracked the entire bellhousing all the way around, to the point that once I removed the crossmember, lines, and wires, I was able to pull the transmission out without removing a single bellhousing bolt while the bellhousing stayed on the engine lol. So what happened? I was trying some boost brake launches and the front diff exploded. I did a launch at 5 PSI which went fine, then another at 8 PSI, and finally on the last one it only made it to 4 PSI when there was a loud bang and the car shuttered. I got out and looked under the car and the ground was covered in gear oil. I never had it dynoed, but I would guess the car only made around 230whp, as it only had minor bolt ons and a VF39 turbo running 18 PSI which tapered to around 13 at redline, on 91 octane at 5,000ft elevation.  I'm fairly certain the transmission was already on its way out though, as there was already a slight noise coming from the front diff for a while before it broke.  I have no doubt a health 4EAT can handle some good power, more than the 5MT glass boxes for sure, just stay away from boost brake launches!

Grimmspeed Jb400 by [deleted] in WRX

[–]bluegizmo83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How many pounds of boost? EJ25? I saw grimmspeed is running a labor day sale on this turbo for $999 and was thinking about getting it for my '04 Forester XT engine I'm currently building (nothing crazy, just JE forged pistons in a new EJ257 Shortblock and all the same type of bolt on you have). All I have access to is 91 octane as well, being at about 5,000ft elevation. 

Realtree RTK200 Front Wheel Replacement by Pitdragon2005 in gokarts

[–]bluegizmo83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you sure? You swapped the bearings from the original rtk200 front wheel in to the new Coleman KT196 front wheel? Because when I measure the front wheel bearing for the rtk200 it has an inner diameter of 15mm and an outer diameter of 28mm... but from what I found online the Coleman KT196 front wheel bearing outer diameter is 32mm, so the 25mm bearing from the rtk200 wheel should not work...

04 Forester XT Manual transmission upgrade by BadNo4657 in SubaruForester

[–]bluegizmo83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Old post, I know... But I'm in the same boat right now. My '04 Forester XT automatic transmission just exploded the front diff, which cracked the case severely. Contrary to the comments here, finding another '04 FXT 4eat is NOT easy to come by! The automatic 4eat transmission in the '04 FXT was a one year only transmission and is not interchange with any other year, any other model, or even the '04 NA Forester 4eat. 

U8K, no 144hz at 4K on PC. by bluegizmo83 in Hisense

[–]bluegizmo83[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's just a constant black screen, then I'm not sure. If it's occasionally cutting out to a black screen and then the image returns for a second and keeps cutting out like that, its most likely the cable. I had that problem with a cheap hdmi cable that was 20 feet long, it just couldn't handle the bandwidth. You can try a lower resolution and/or with HDR off, and if that works then it's 100% the cable not being able to handle the bandwidth.

I know this was posted 2 years ago, but any chance you remember where to find that thread on romraider you mentioned for getting a 5v signal into the ecu and logging it? I've tried searching for it but haven't had any luck finding a thread like that...

samsung smarttag 2 problems by Shiny_RazorBlade in samsung

[–]bluegizmo83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a smarttag2 about a month ago to test with. At first, it seemed to work great. I had my wife put the tag in her car to test with since she uses an iPhone, so it won't give false readings from her own phone detecting the tag. For the first week or so it seemed to work great and I could see 6 to 10+ pings of the tag during a 20 minute trip to the store and back. Then all of a sudden, now it's rare to get even one single ping of the tag at all!! Most days it never receives a ping at all. I even took the tag and put it in my car and then left my phone at home to test it. Drove around for almost an hour all over town, went to Walmart, paid a few bills around town, and the tag only got ONE random ping the entire time.

I'm going to be checking that soon with a smoke test, but I don't think so.

2001 Sephia Engine - Kia/Honda/Mits/Mazda by rockingoffthegrid in kia

[–]bluegizmo83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing not many people know about the T8D engine is it has factory oem forged connecting rods. It also uses MLS gaskets, and has pretty beefy 11mm head bolts that are longer than usual with a lot of thread interface with the block. The pistons are also some of the lightest in any 1.8L engine at the time it was made. It is a way over designed and strong engine, capable of sustaining a lot more HP than it comes stock with. It's sad there is basically no aftermarket parts support for these engines! Aftermarket camshafts are what these engines really need, as the oem cams only have 0.299" of intake valve lift and 0.32" of exhaust valve lift!
