i noticed the water pump gasket is an embossed aluminum deal and the factory didnt use any sealant, which is really nice. do you guys have any problem with a dry seal after breaking the original factory seal and use any RTV? or just put it together like the factory?
the 172 is what stant speced on rockauto as a stock replacement for an 05 LGT

hi_im_sean: be prepared for your heater to actually work now

my tbelt kit came with a nice new embossed aluminum shim gasket just like the oem. i was just asking if the gasket will hold without sealant after brinelling of the sealing surface from the original gasket and 100k miles. the water pump had a few nicks on the surface right at the embossed line that i know wouldnt seal, so i used some rtv anyway.
its all done, that was one of the easier timing belts ive ever done.
my heater did always take a while to get warm.

No. You can try, and you might make some improvement, but I have the same car and have tried to re map the throttle without success. Do you have the same trouble with stalling as I do? I stall that car at least twice a week because I let the clutch out before the throttle responds.

Hmm. My 05 OBXT Limited throttle is pretty much spot on after updating my map. I got most of it off romraider's forum. There's a delay factor for closed/open loop fuel i think, and I made it zero. OEM Map was horrible.

you can tune it out. at least a lot of it, it is still a low comp lumpy boxer with 4 miles of exhaust piping after all, lol....and no it's not the cl/ol delay
you want to look real close at not only the requested torque tables for dbw, but also the throttle angle tables. I forget how many the older EJ255's have, but I think its at least 1 each, newer cars have 2 or 3 each, and some up to a total of like 7, all of which have to play nice together to work properly.
I forget the threads where we discussed this, and I know me and scott talked about this on gchat a ton of times, but try googling "romraider linear throttle" or something, and copy those settings at least up to about 50-60%. You don't want to do it all the way to 100% or your car will actually feel slower, I usually try to ramp up by 70-80% at least to make sure you get that "kick" lol
if I don't totally forget about this when I get home today, I can post some examples.

be careful ramping it up too much from idle or you'll look like a n00b trying to fast-n-furious launch from every light
*edit: oh and the req torque and commanded throttle angle tables have to be very proportionate, so there's a lot more to it than it first appears, you can make your car act like it has a seizure if you make them lopsided. study what the OEM has done with the approach before you go modifying it based on what you think it should be like.
**edit: and there are quite a few other tables affected by this and changes to this............
