  1. The green test mode / flash connector will be on the left side footwell 'JDM Passenger footwell.' When connected and you turn the ignition on, you will hear the fans and solenoid cycling. This is how you know you have the correct plugs connected. Also, be mindful of your battery voltage. It may close the interface if the voltage is below 12v. Ensure that lights, etc., are off, and sometimes, it pays to connect a battery charger."

  2. Yea@Marky would be the go to in your area, if you cant get hold of him let me know and i can help out remotely. 

    iirc i provided you with the map you mentioned. My Tactrix is being borrowed again but as mentioned if you cant get someone local let me know and I can send it your way when i get it back and help out.

  3. What ECU are you using? 

    The Rev-A Engine will have a differnt crank trigger pattern so you might have to swap that also. 

     

    Here are the diffrences in old generation vs newer MY01 crank and cam triggers - in your scenario if you have somehow installed a Rev-D Twin Turbo ECU then you will likely only need to change the crank trigger, cams will be the same between Rev-A and D IIRC

    I haven't tried starting it without MAF though, but was curious how to force it into Open Loop. Are there map values for lower revs? I'll try this anyway, because if the bad idling (misfiring) sticks around, I guess it proves it's mechanical, fuel, or sparks, not sensor-related..?

    Yea no harm in trying, it only takes two seconds to unplug it and fire it up. Its possible that there could be a problem with the wiring/grounding to said sensors too, just swapping sensors out sometimes neglects the wires that go to the sensors. 

    The issue you have described really does sound like an intake leak even though you have ruled that out.. 

     

    Do you have an aftermarket blow-off valve at all? 

  5. Unplug the MAF entirely and start it Maffless. Unsure about earlier revisions but the Rev-D runs openloop when its unplugged. Good way to troublshoot. 

     

    If it idles fine wihtout the maf then thats possibly your probelem. 

     

     

    Edit: just read above that you have already replaced the MAF with no difference.

  6. Do a single turbo conversion 😉

     

    Depending on the milage, you probably want to strip the short block down and do piston rings, a bearing set and get the block decked. Its easy to get a little out of hand with rebuild costs on these.. defintely look into replacment longblocks the EJ206/EJ208 is a direct drop in and the EJ205/EJ207/EJ20Y/X will all work with faily simple mods and a quick ECU reflash. 

     

    Consider the tools also, if you do go for a full rebuild you will need a good torque wrench and some other specific tools that can add up $$. ignore this if you're not a pleb like me and already have a workshop full of fancy tools 

     

    Also, do a single turbo conversion.

  7. Yea I'm very much a 16bit ECU man so I can't really confidently comment on the 32bit side of things. This is a good source of truth though https://www.romraider.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=37 looks like there are a number of 32bit speed density ROMs out there. 

     

    If you go with the MAF just make sure you have a good bend 90-degree preferably but just something and basically just get the MAF as far away from the turbo as possible. If I ran a MAF on a twisted setup "which I wouldn't" I would run the intake pipe down into the wheel arch and locate the MAF down in there somewhere. Remembering that you ideally want the MAF 300ish mm away from your pod filter for the same reason as keeping it away from the turbo. It needs clean unturbulent flow to work nicely at low flow / idle. 

     

    And as mentioned, going to a 3inch MAF housing will require a MAF rescale which is easy enough on the stock ECU

    I did literally just buy a set of good condition Twinscroll STi headers for $300 shipped >.> Soooooooo

    I believe you'll find that the VF48 is a single scroll turbo my friend :)

     

    Even better! TS is overated, sell the $300 TS headers, buy a V7 stock set for $50 and buy the VF48. :D

    So, I've been tinkering with my Legacy a lot for the last couple weeks

     

    I've replaced front and rear shocks as the originals were poked.

    Replaced the Brake rotors and pads on all four corners

    Fixed the Stereo wiring issues. 

    Fixed the trims around the car. 

    Replaced the ignition barrel

    Wheel alignment

    Oil change for gearbox and engine

     

    Got it tuned by @Pappu1 

    Unfortunately, and quite frustratingly, there's a lot of knock with my engine during tuning. Not really conducive. 

    What I do know that's an issue is this. 

    There is a boost leak, I can hear it under WOT, and I know for a fact it's causing over fueling. 

    Cold start up fuel smell. Typical of this MY Legacy.

     

    Looks like I'll be pulling the intake manifold off this car and replacing all the fuel line hoses, and any VAC hoses / problematic boost hoses. Could also be a blown out manifold gasket, but I've not heard of that before tbh.

     

    Part of me wants this thing to blow a turbo so I can put a single turbo setup on it, but the other part of me loves a good twin setup and wants to make this work. Just god damn the amount of VAC hoses in this thing is F*cking nightmare

    Single Turbo it.

    Yes yes... However... Twins remain? 

     

     

    You need a build thread mate.. also who is tuning it?

    @A_J_T oh wow - did your cousin own this car before?  I need to figure out how to remove it haha. Hoping its not glued on as well as bolts.

    Yea he bought it in early 2018, fixed a number of issues that it had when he bought it, thoroughly enjoyed the car and then sold it later that year iirc and picked up a Hilux as it was not a good daily 😂 Unsure on owners inbetween him and you though. I'll ask him how he attached it and find out if its easy enough to remove

    Not sure about the wing haha. Might swap it for a standard one. They are worth a bit of coin though! 

     

    My little cousin used to own this. Have driven it and its a bundle of fun. He is also the one to blame for the wing..sorry 😁. its not my cup of tea but he put a lot of effort into getting it fitting etc.
