Abomb

Actually, I just figured it out. I was squatting down contemplating setting the car on fire and I realised that the power steering cooling sits significantly higher than the res so I unbolted it, dropped it down, sawed the wheel from lock to lock a few times and viola some of the fluid level dropped, topped it up and fired it up and problem solved. No more bubbles or foaming.

So I replaced the power steering pump on my car because of a mistake I made doing the inlet. I followed the instructions to jack it up, fill to cold minimum, leave the cap off and saw the wheel from lock to lock, adding fluid until the level stays stable. However, the system is still letting in air somewhere and bubbling up while running. Any ideas what could be causing this?

Dunno, just thought I should mention the correction.

That’s a 20 percent correct factor btw.

373 at 18.5 psi, anymore timing or boost and the clutch starts to slip. Guess I know my next step!

Not to res a dead thread, I wish I would have seen this at the time. I deliver 98 to varies Auckland fuel stations pretty much daily. Mobil’s 98 does not contain ethanol. Auckland to New Plymouth, if it’s a mobil station and has 98, it comes from Mount Maunganui and there is no ethanol. I’m not on the terminal side of the business, but it’s my understanding that the major difference between bp and mobil is the additive package.

The last few days I’ve: pulled off the vf30 put in the dw 850s put in the walbro 255 put in the silicon inlet removed the gforce 2 in favor of a mac changed to a step colder plugs replaced various brittle hoses and clamps left to do is reinstall some lines and the coolant res that I pulled to get access to some tricky bolts, properly hang or remove the down pipe and it’s ready to go for its link and ewg tomorrow.

Anybody have a mate that knows how to vinyl wrap? Wife gave me the go ahead finally now that we are moved into the new house.

Never mind, was thinking of the place in Hamilton.

That looks fancy

Directed the crappy clear lights for some factory ones. Also replaced the ac compressor since I haven’t had ac since I bought the car. Turns out I’m a moron and should have pressure tested it first because when I went to charge the system I have a leak where the high pressure line bolts onto the compressor.

Imgur is the way to go.

Totally handles like it’s on rails now.

Got the new alarm installed and squared away today. Also put in a grimmspeed battery tie down that I got from moonlight racing. I have to recommend them so far, got it the next business day after I ordered it.

I’d never even heard of splitting fuel rails until I moved here and I was in the Subaru scene in the states for 5 or so years, tuned multiple times on multiple turbo and injector combos, only thing I touched in regards to my rails was upgrading them to a set of boombas.

Rain guard, wheel and steering column trim are all in and looking good. Looks like nothing happened, now my work just needs to step up and do something to up the security at the yard because this is the second time my car has been messed with. First time they successfully got into it but I pulled in before and my alarm was going off.

Well, so far I’m replaced the top shell of the steering column but while I was at the wrecker I got a new steering wheel since mine was ripped and that’s installed too. Just have to put the bottom bit on and the rain guard tomorrow.

I wish. No cameras in the work yard, didn’t leave anything I could see and all my guns are in America.

Some f***wit tried to steal my car when I was at work last night so when I wake up I get to track down and replace the plastic trim pieces off my steering column and passenger side rain guard.

Its really not, I’m just used to mechanical gauges, electronic gauges are more than just a single t fitting, ground and power.

Have a suggestion for where I should t in at?

Also here’s a video. It gets worse with higher gears, this is a short 3rd gear pull. Also gets worse with higher rpm.

I’m pulling the dash apart tomorrow anyways to try and track down a short and do some wire clean up anyways, I’ll give that a go.

BF? I’ve moved the control unit from where it was originally installed but it’s always been a problem. Thinking I might pull off the all the defi stuff and just get auto meter gauges.

Nope, it’s totally smooth. That’s part of the reason that I think it has to be something with the defi stuff. The egt is smooth, but it does stagger when heading back towards zero during the start up calibration.
