    Turbo options 280-320wkw

    in Engine Related

    Posted

    If it's a 2.5L maybe the Borgwarner S200SX-E could be an option? There are two variants available on NZ Performance and the one is basically the EFR 7670 w/o the BOV and stuff - the compressor housing even has the speed port machining done if you wanted to use it. There's a good write up on Full Race about them and they are more than half the price of the EFR series equivalent. Plus, you can purchase the turbine housing of your preference from NZ Performance too for a few hundred bucks.

    Sorry for not complying with the existing selections haha! 

     

    PS: The 200SX-E is even more compact that the EFR series too

    Love it. Wish other ECU’s had better support for systems other than Windows..

     

    This looks bad-ass. I'm very limited with the logs on my G4 - do you know if I can purchase or make something like this to have infinite log storage?

    I got bored of trying to figure out what was wrong with my wiring for the link CAN lambda. $100 later I've bought CAN Wiring to plug into link to the wideband

    Which hose goes where? Vacuum hoses etc

    I've got mine set up exactly like that. Just I don't know where the other end goes.. my guess is to the turbo-intercooler pipe.. I've blocked it off as I have no way to connect it to that pipe, having replaced it with silicon/rad hose. 
    Ok so then you should be find to remove the tee and patch it directly to the vacuum source then I figure.

    update:

    When I leave the car for a week some oil leaks on exhaust (I assume) and starts smoking after 10 mins but does burn off. I really gotta do the rocker cover gaskets some time...

    So I took it back out Saturday and the noise was gone, drove 10 mins and then rechecked oil and coolant. Noticed coolant overflow was almost empty (topped it up few weeks ago). Took it for a decent drive to get it up to temperature and then the noise came back. Here is another video with some small revs. Better to listen with headphones if possible.

    As the noise had gone but came back when it was warm, im hopeful its not big end as that would make noise all the time.

     

     

    Damn that is loud. Glad it's fixed though.

    Cheers for that, that's a massive help. I'm wondering about the EGR valve? Brown little thing above boost solenoid. The long vac hose coming out of the right of it goes to the middle nipple of the intake manifold, right?

     

    I think I had the post AFM hose from boost solenoid left unattached, mixed up with another hose. Probably why I had a few issues haha

     

    Brown sensor by boost control solenoid (BCS) is connected to the MAP sensor so I've always called this the pre-MAP sensor but not sure on its actual name. 

     

    Either way, it needs a vacuum source so it needs to be plumbed to the manifold (port doesn't matter).

    Hey guys does anyone know where this tee'd hose should go/what it does? My guess is boost gauge... It's the last hose to go in and there's only one nipple, on the throttle body. 

     

    I'm guessing that the other section would go to a point between the turbo-intercooler pipe... That I've since replaced with a silicon Hose as that pipe had a huge split in it. 

     

    Solution - remove tee and just connect to throttle body?

    I've had a look at your photo and if you compare it to my last photo you can see the tee to the right of the 6. It's plumbed into the manifold too.

    At an even higher level, like most things in life, mismanaged expectations and poor communication are the fundamentals to satisfaction in general.

     

    In my own experiences, I always clarify the price, or expected price range for a piece of work whether its planned or unplanned, for anything and everything.

     

    For a more relatable example, when my car was with Tony for the fuel system fitting and tune, my P/S pump started to leak. As expected, Tony called me, quoted me a price range to pull and diagnose the pump. Didn't promise me anything about the resolution or price of it but in the end diagnosis was a bad o-ring, so to replace it was a couple bucks more as the pump was already apart. Whilst the additional cost was unplanned, the management of the problem through to resolution met my expectations for a professional and experienced outfit. Furthermore, this was all detailed to a high degree on my invoice and reflected the phone and email conversations we'd had.

     

    In other examples, when outfits don't meet my expectations, I simply don't use them again. I vote with my wallet and that way I find outfits that do align with and agree to my expectations.

    Hey guys i have a WRX gf8 wagon with the ej20gdw1ne which is an early WRX engine. 

     

    Long story short I removed my intake manifold one day to paint lol and ended up getting mixed up with the hoses.

     

    Ended up having issues such as uprpm not reading correctly and sluggishness. 

     

    Anyway these are the hoses I'm wondering about:

     

    On the left side of engine bay, round thing (boost solenoid?) I have the top hose going to the turbo-intercooler pipe, middle hose to wastegate, but I'm not sure where the lower hose goes.

     

    Above that is a little red thing with a hose coming out of it. Where does that one go?

     

    Also there is a pipe coming out of my turbo down pipe that faces the engine block - I can't ever remember having anything connected to that. 

     

    There's this hose which is teed off too - I think it comes from my boost gauge. 

     

    Here's some engine bay pics. I'm not sure if I've got the Top three little hoses on the IM right but I've got the left one that goes to the bov blocked off. I'm putting bov back in so yeah.

    Thank you all.

    Does this help?

    Hi all, few quick questions:

    1. Where is the factory radio antenna located and what type is it?
    2. Do most gen2 impreza parts bolt up for drive train and suspension? E.g. can I purchase and fit v7 sti shocks?
    3. Would gen1 impreza rear 2 pots bolt up or will I need adaptors? I think diff is r160 so adaptors?
