Hondasucks Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Well I thought I had the problem fixed, it's BETTER now than it was before I plugged the loose PCV line back in, but it is still lacking on power. Idles just fine, off-boost power is good, although I don't know if it's "normal" or not since I've never really kept off the boost before.. Well, I have, but not while I was accelerating lol, but it seems like when I get on it, it just doesn't "go", and seems to "go" better at low boost than at high boost.. Once the RPM climbs a bit it's better, but it's slower than my wife's 1.8L FWD automatic Impreza I'm thinkin boost leak, but not positive... I didn't take a lot off when I put the cams in, only other thing I can think of is I cleaned the MAF with brake cleaner cuz it was full of oily gunk... I know I need to go EJ but that's not within my budget at the moment... Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbone Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 It almost sounds like its a tooth off on the timing. My old 86 T-Wagon did the same thing till I redid the belts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hondasucks Posted September 9, 2007 Author Share Posted September 9, 2007 Well, the timing WAS a tooth off, so I got it back on there correctly (Did this like a month ago lol just took me a while to post it) and it runs a lot better but still falls on it's face under boost, just not as bad... I discovered that the boot that goes from the MAF to the turbo has a small crack in it where it goes into the turbo... So I think I need a new one.... grrr... anyone have one?

I remember you told me about it a long time ago (right after you moved back to Oregon I think) and how it was cracked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloyale Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 . I discovered that the boot that goes from the MAF to the turbo has a small crack in it where it goes into the turbo... So I think I need a new one.... grrr... anyone have one? Take it off, clean the crap out of it with dish soap or a good degreaser. Then wrap it with electrical tape. Good quality electrical tape so it really sticks and get it really tight. I've had good luck *repairing* a few this way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hondasucks Posted September 11, 2007 Author Share Posted September 11, 2007 wasn't that boot cracked like 2 years ago dufus? I remember you told me about it a long time ago (right after you moved back to Oregon I think) and how it was cracked. Yeah that one was cracked like 2/3 of the way around.. This one is cracked like, 1/2" long... I have a good one but it's for an 85-86 and it's too short :-( Maybe I'll just put my cone air filter back on, and put the air box back together on the Legacy...

daeron Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 I had acceptable results repairing a crack on a BAFFLE on one of the rubber air boots on my 280Z with a piece of rubber from a bike inner tube, and rubber cement. If it was acceptable on the baffle, then it should be solid as a rock on a flat bit of snorkus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
