EA82DM8

another problem since the last post.....coolant overflow is bubbling, I know this sounds like a head gasket but I really dont think it is....put a pod filter on last run and "young fella" hooked up the green things that General Disorder, mentioned in another post, since then its been running bad........any other guesses? Cheers.

Thanks for the response...mine is actually an 87, not an 86 as mentioned by my incorrect posting. How do I bypass the stock controller...thanks. What I have seen is a piece of pipe probably only 2 inches across on the front side of the turbo,,,is that where it goes? and yes not really wanting to put it in until the I/C is in. Thanks

sorry to butt in guys, I hear "oem" mentioned alot......what is it a brand or factory standard? Cheers

Fank u daniel son.

Just a quick question.....I hear "rice" mentioned alot...what does it mean? Hoods sound good, but being on the other side of this huge world, freight would kill me.

Hi everyone, just another question if you dont mind. Just bought a box of parts for the EA82T. 200 dollars for a pod filter, boost guage, BOV and MBC. So my question to you fellas is.....where does the MBC go? Does it need to be fabricated between the extremely short standard pipe between the wastegate and ????????. As for the BOV, I rang the guy who I bought them off and he said drill and tap the silver intake thing and put it in there. I have a WRX intercooler that i want to put on at a later date, but if i drill and tap the silver think will it affect my intercooler installation that I want to do later? Hope you understand what I am trying to say....cheers.

Thanks alot for your help, finally found it, it was in the cabin not the engine bay. Havent taken it for a run yet but the breathing has stopped. Cheers again.

Thanks GD....will try and sort it today.

Yeah, the other side over here, so I've obviously bodged something during the boost guage install. Your advice has been great, thanks. I'm still not entirely sure what I'm looking for but it should be traceable in the morning. I have had a "helper" tinker with a few of my things lately only for them to break a few days later. I took my bike down the bike shop for a service last week only to find that said helper had removed all the oil and the sump plug without my knowing. So is it a vacuum line or an elctrical connection? Cheers

I was fiddling over the other side trying to get the boost guage on. Is it an electrical type connection that needs unplugging? Thanks

Green test mode connectors? how can I unhook these and how did they get hooked in the first place? Where are they located? Thanks mate.

Here it is, its the silver thing at the top of the pic....two of the three lines are sucking in and out in a rhythmic heart like fashion and making a noise with the ignition on and the motor not running. as for the bubbling water after a short boost....it doesn't usually do this and normally runs really cold, but this time everything got hot alot quicker than normal. Cheers.

Thanks for the reply....will go outside for a cigarette with my torch and camera and upload some if they turn out ok. Cheers

...and not knowing anything about cars really makes it all quite fun. So here is the problem....I blew the front cv joint and the rear axle last day out in my old leone turbo so now it only runs in rwd??? Today I put a pod filter in it and attached a boost guage just to see if the engine would be ok to transplant. Anyway hooked the boost guage up and now as soon as you turn the ignition on there is a sucking sound coming from two pipes which leads to the fuel injector rails????????on the other side of the motor, these pipes lead up to a reasonably large black cylinder by the firewall. as long as the ignition is on it sounds like a heart sucking in and out and just keeps on going. Anyway took it for a wee spin (10kilometres) and when I got back i heard bubbling water around turbo area and the temperature guage kept on rising (about half way) even when switched off but nothing too serious to cause damage. just wondering whether its worth getting someone to switch the motors if this one is on its way out. Seems pretty strong though and usually runs really cool. Any ideas? Thanks in advance

Cheers again Northwet.... I had a look in daylight and you are correct....it looks like the CV joint has stripped away from the front right wheel. It may not be the CV joint as i am only a novice but steering has not been affected and as mentioned before it drives fine in 4wd. Is this a simple replacement part swap over or could more sinister damage have occurred? heres a pic for those of you in the know. Inner front Left Rear
