Subaru Turbo System explained


Stoffa

Recommended Posts

Just to add thats only correct for 2 port bcs.

Some subs came with 3 port thus no restrictors from factory.

1st Gen Legacy ? v4 Sti and 22b maybe others...

Great explanation! I wonder what kind of aperture the prodrive solenoid uses that negates the need for the pill. Would it be fixed (ie; it is effectively a pill), or somehow more cleverly regulates?

3 port solenoid

Good on you for doing a bit of good research.

This is a good piece of imfomation for any one that has over boost problems or just wants to turn up the boost correctly with out using a cheap bleed valve because as you can see the factory system is not to bad up to a point.

-My old v4 import rans a 3 port solenoid & a pill. The pill works the same put the solenoid works as the Tee piece & valve in one. = the same out come.

I have had to ditch my pill & factory stuff & am now running a EBC. But like i said it works good up until a point.

-The prodrive unit they talk about my either have no pill because?

-The solenoid has a set amount of flow restriction.

-The ECU controls the solenoid so it might just hold it closed or open for longer the same as an aftermarket ECU or boost controler can?

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
