Hey guys... I recently replaced my TD-04 up pipe gasket and my header gaskets.... they were totaly gone... I tightened them up and some how... i still have an exhaust leak... and its before the turbo.. or so I think... Heres my symptoms.... I can Hear an exhaust leak... I know what they sound like I Can smell an Exhaust leak... My boost only builds up to .42 (on a good day) It was origionally at like .55 or something like that (been so long Ive forgotten) I've found a significan vaccum leak that led to this little tiny metal box located on the passenger side of the intake Mani.... I fixed it (what does it do emissions or something????) My car is intercooled and I have checked all my sili Lines and found no leaks... tomarrow I will check again... I cant find any "visual" Signs of exhaust leakage.... no black no nothing... Basically I wana know what types of vaccum leaks to look for in this car and are these known to crack headers... oh yeah I checked the mating surface of the header and it wasnt cracked... confused, Frustrated... and darn not safe without any power.... 82Ts are really slow when boost doesnt work... REALLY SLOW!!!

Wait... Im Confused... GD how much power can the stock 5speed manuals hold?? Can they really hold the power from a stock EJ???? I know they definately were not ment to but subarus drivetrains have been know to be... hmmm..... how to put it.... bullet proof... I know the autos really do stink... but what about a easy manual tranny swap.... would you be willing to do that???

Yeah.. if your stubborn like me though.... You can dump in all of your precious money into strengthening these areas and then pump up the boost... but dont forget fuel cut!!! and Forged pistons... and if you really want to be the bigshot... forged rods.... can you say $$$$$$$$$$$$$ hope it helps...

+1 So are you or are you not leaking from your breathers?

Whered you get your Flywheel?? or did you just have yours lightend?

Its kinda an interesting video!

+1... I dont mean to coach driving habbits... and I am only 16... But one of the main reason this happons is from drivers leaving their foot in the clutch when at stop signs, lights, ect!!! It is designed for short periods, like shifting.... Dont take it personally, just wondering if thats how you drive... if not, then.. um... yeah hope it helps someone else....

I know what your saying... Like an oil pump... thats one of the main reasons that engines that have been overevved extreemly high, the oilpump spins so fast it just spins... the oil doesnt moove at all... it all has to do with the passageways but mainly the design of the impeller, straight fins resist the freespin but create more hp loss, curved spin easier but, they have little effect when an engine spins at high rpm... Its also like a Turbocharger!!! Sorry, I get carried away..........

I am open to replacing it with another different make (sacrelig ) blower motor... so any ideas??? I know the 04 tacoma has a motor like no other!!!

For the first question... I think your describing the vaccum line that goes from the compressor to the BC to the Waste gate..... as for that one... bypass the stock BC and then put the MBC in between the wastegate and the compressor Vaccume lines.... You have a good boost gauge right?? Because boost controllers are addicting and you can easily blow up you roo!!! So my advice is go really really slow with the knob!!! and dont blow it up! hehe.

Thank you.................................... I ment, supposing people understood, that you would have 4 valves instead of 2!!! when i said 2 valves i ment 2 intake and exhaust.. ill be more specific nextime! Even turds will look good with alittle elbow grease! They just wont smell good.

Ok gotcha! Then I would definately put a Catch can on it.. If it were mine... hmm.. I am saying this even though I have yet to buy one!!! hehe..... Money sucks!

OOH OOOH!!! I really really really want a nice 257 now or a 2.2 i like closed deck but.... or even the 25 or even a built up 1.8 but man how preety things are..... when there new.... post pics in about 150 and lets see the carbon!!!! And then scrape it off and do it again!!! Hey... lets do a research study on the best fuel treatment cleaners.....(sorry for hijack) hehe.. im going to sleep.. its 11:30!!!

Keep us updated on the probelms, Quirks, ect im sure someone on here has expierienced it before!

yeah.. but just to be safe I would probably get a catchcan even a cheap one from summit or something just to keep oil out of the lines!!! Its not the biggest deal though... its not turbocharged so its up to you! Just a suggestion

I love ARP stuff... its so fun sliding the nut up and down the studs... there so smooth!!!! My Bro in law bought them for his built to the hilt EJ-257 I Wish the 2.5 RS heads or even the 2.2 would fit onto the EA-82 block... it would be an interesting and sweet swap... then everyone would have there dual valves!!! and I could buy borla headers for it YAY! or.. make my own... Anyone know if anyone else makes custom forged pistons for these??? I saw a dunebuggy website... they were unreal... there prices that is.

YESSS I just got done driving home from my brothers house... and its cool when you go 50 with the Sroof and all the windows down... that little fan didnt cut it!!!

Yay! Glad to hear it... even though I didnt help much.... Drive on!

I already know that if i send them my old gasket then they will make one for me with the spec that I want...... Someone must of had a bad day at cometic.... that number is rediculous!!!

I dont know if i said this already or if someone else has but, Performance rad is welll ... hehe... stationed here in Az but they have other locations... and Rallyruss told me thats where he got the radiator for my roo... and its a 2 row.. although to get it out you have to bend things

Sounds like fun... im thinking of doing a Ej25 swap also...... when i get money that is.... :slobber: Ive heard of the 6 swap into a brat before... it was a lot of Custom work... But it turned out preety nice!!! Sorry but i cant remember where i saw it... It was before i even owned a roo... and my Bro in law got his RS... we were looking under google images for brat.... yeah... good luck with the search

Headgaskets? For Ea-82T... I know i can get them from cometic easy.... but what about RAM?? Cometic will adjust the gaskets to make my comp ratio either higher or lower... will Ram do the same? I find it hard to navigate there site when im looking for specialty EA-82 parts! and what have ive done... lots of little things... I have replaced Tbelts and am about to do the same to my Brother in laws Gl... And check out RS25 to see what we are working on at the moment... were busy doing an Ej257 shortblock swap with RS heads and a big T04s.... hehe... the inlet is bigger than my turbo... But back to action.. anyways theres pics on there look under... project ringland if you really want to... but I was being a dork on his forum... I like making stupid comments about his car... if you all must see that is.... nothing amazing but fun none the less

Do you know of any radiator repair shops near you??? They can dip it and then solder it and then it should be preety good.... but if your rad is really old and neglected... itll do more bad then good....

Yeah... does sound like headgaskets... you could also check for exhaustgases in the radiator with a special magical color tool ... but bubbles work for me.... your timings fully advanced??? are you knocking or no???? also if its running like******************************************* sorry got carried away.. then check for vaccum leaks... you can use brake cleaner to spray on all of the vaccum hoses and if the engine raises rpm then you know you have found the leak.... although there are some that are still mysterious.....

Ok im done,... but some of you need to learn basic math... its not worth it arguing on the internet anyways... haha but you guys think its funny that I am 16.... because I am one of the only people whos not afraid to display there age... it doesnt matter if your 40 but if your 16, you expect this kind of crap from older "punks" thing like.. oh your only 16 you dont know anything.... but whatever, and, I want no comments on this, I know what I know and what I dont know and you guys dont! I may not be ASE certified but I dont need to be those are tests... tests are on paper. But..... I dont care ok drop it from here on out.... .......... lets get back on course here...and what did I hear about EA-82 gaskets??? tell me more!!!
