Thats exactly how I fix everything . Few points tho
Gloves are for fggts
Drip trays are for fggts
Clutch alignment tools are for fggts .
First clutch I ever did was a 300zx . After that everthing was simple.
S15 is a royal shunt . Because of the dual mass setup the fattest part of the bell housing is about 100mm long .
Oh yea cool . Ugh fkn yellow . Why can't it be blue . Or white . Um yea ive got most of the parts and half the intention to single turb one of these . And want something to fiddle . Ill chuck u a message at some stage .
Remove rear window glass . Take back for re check . They cant fail it and will write on the sheet "rear window glass removed at time of warrant .
If the windows go fully down then just wind them down and unplug the motors / switches . Or pull main fuse
Use a sharp screw driver and pick/chisel the intire first louver /2 mm off the top of every bit of core .
With a bit of practice it can be done quite fast and look good . Yea youve lost 2mm of fin . But it was doing nothing more than looking ugly and blocking airflow
Park it on the steepest thing you can find and squeeze heater hoses . I can reach part of one with left hand upside down over top of primary turbo . Could feel the hose go from cold to hot as I was squeezing it and revin it a bit . Car was already warm
So I finally fixed the car and started thrashing it .
It works . It doesnt make real boost till 3k . But thats what I wanted . Its at 3k at 100 kph . So it drives nice like a single turbo setup . During normal driving it just drives nicer and not light switch boost .
In all fairness it prolly does need the vf27 rear housing as telemekas said .
Other points .my ecv rod is way too tight . It opens well before 4k
Id like a rev d
What is the rpm limit of a rev d engine ?
Id like to do a lot of exhaust manifold pressure measuring . Run out of things to write . Theres more . Just havent worded it yet .
I really dont see how subaru had all those parts in the setup and got it so wrong . Its like the engineers and programers were trying to make each others lives difficult
Wow look at that . Now you can actually see where the wastegate cracks . That original boost curve looked like a diesel with a 4 psi actuator and negative 3 turns of preload
the greatest flow is at 2.6 pr . And theres plenty of map at 2.4 pr 19-20 psi . Assuming a real airfilter and a quality intetcooler that isnt chewing 5 psi I fail to see your problem
O2 sensor . It is supposed to flick or ping from rich to lean about 3 times per 5 seconds . Its how the xar finds best economy at stoich mixtures .the ecu purposely goes lean rich lean rich either side of stoich so it knows that its on the best af for stoich . Basically up or down a few injector % . Hence "narrow band " sensor . Its accurate for the narrow band right on stoich Cruise and idle . My car dud it for years . Replaced o2 with second hand new one . Had to check twice after that because my brain exlected it to hunt .
