I'll check that later today then - followed by checking my temp sensor wiring lol
-
Ah yep sweet as - How does one tell if it's aligned or not? I would assume 0v at 0% throttle or something?
Edit: it's only hard to start when it's cold / cooled down - this leads me to think my coolant temp sensor isn't working?
-
Put a new brake light in the rear
Didn't notice I'd grabbed a 24 volt one ffs
-
Righto, another question. Will a TPS on it's way out cause hard starting? Car wouldn't start so I wiggled the plugs on things.. ie crank - then wiggle afm plug - crank - wiggle iacv plug - crank etc etc... my best efforts at a process of elimination here...
But anyway, wiggled the wire on the TPS and it started straight away - not sure if coincidental or not lol
-
Don't forget the Hose 10 mod either!
-
Single turbo it! Its easy with the funds lol
-
-
Both turbos have wastegates? Sure that one isn't just the massive ECV valve?
-
Ah whoops my bad
Try now.. Its just a video I uploaded due to being happy as that my $300 motor goes lol
-
Update: took the manifold off again, cleaned IACV and throttle body, re plumbed everything etc etc
Now its happy as! No cel or nothing. Also swapped out alternator today and did a wasted spark swap onto it as well.
-
Also makes a popping sound every so often.. wondering if possibly timing could be out or something? Not sure how that's possible though!

Have finally put together my wagon. Have yellow injectors and orange AFM with 6s ECU.
Now when I start it, the revs go up to around 3500rpm then drop to nothing after two or three seconds.
I've checked for vac leaks etc, and to make things difficult, it's not even throwing a CEL??? I'm still running coil on plug and have done the wiring to run it. I have the white plugs to the coils at the front of the car and the black ones toward the rear.
Anyone have any idea what could be causing this? Have tried a different IACV also

Brilliant, cheers mate! Off to repco

I've ordered a new dipstick from Subaru, $29+gst. With a 7-10 day wait coming from Japan. I'll put measurements up when it arrives. I set the engine breathers up yesterday, just using 1/2" Dayco heater hose from BNT for now.
Right bank head breather running over the turbo inlet, then straight across the back of the manifold to a T-junction at the other side:
I finally got around to blocking off my PCV valve properly, with a 1/2"npt bung from hose & hydraulics:
With the PCV blocked off, I've run my main block breather vertically straight into the intake. I will Tee the smaller block breather into the head breather hose above it, just need another T-junction:
I've reused half of an original BH head breather hose on the left head, running to the T-junction just inside the manifold runner:
Both head breathers T'ed together, then run under the manifold to the front intake pipe breather port:
Do all EJ20s have two block breathers? Also just wondering what size hose did you end up using for the head breathers?
-
Stripped the v3 intake manifold and steam cleaned it before painting
Ordered a fake ssqv to have something till I can get a decent recirculating valve
-
BKR6EIX-11 is what I'm using lol

If you plug the 6s in straight away with coil on plug it'll only fire on two cylinders
-
Have you done either wiring mods for coil on plug with the 6s or a conversion to wasted spark?
-
Joining both the crank and head breathers together can restrict the system too much and pressurise the block, especially on a higher km engine. Pumping 2L of oil out the dipstick hole in my case.
Righto then - looks like i'll use my original hose idea but use both ports on the intake pipe - unsure of how many km are on this motor.
Cheers!

So in the middle of my single turbo conversion - just wondering how the PCV setup is supposed to run?
I assume the valve on the back of the inlet + the crank breather are both linked together then connected up pre-turbo? Then the same deal for the breathers on the heads / rocker covers?
Which makes me wonder, would I be alright to use pieces of hose and T pieces to link all four together then up to the intake pipe and block the other outlet off ? May seem like a stupid question but i'd rather run hoses than the factory plastic type ones under the manifold - trying to get a reasonably clean looking engine bay.
-
Currently in the midst of doing a twin to single turbo conversion on my BG5, done everything bar downpipe.
No single turbo Subarus at pickapart except for SF5 Foz (The early model ones)... Does anyone know if the crossmember from one of these will fit my wagon?
Cheers
