check the coged idler and the timing belt tentioners can make it knock if berrings are going out

i glue the outside with ultra grey is no preshure behind it

Have been working on this car and a'm having problems figuring out whats wrong as soon as i load it it boost spikes and shuts down the boost will sit at 7 psi and sudenly jump to 10 -14 psi witch turns on the feul cut witch kills it then it will come back on at 7 and jump to 11-14 agian and cut feul is very violent. Everything looks to be conected right and car is stock. I cant seem to figure out how the two stage turbo setup works has 3 wastegates two blowoff valves and two boost controlers a intercooler valve. I a'm unfamiliar with theese cars and is being a diffacult fix any ideas ?

Have a jdm 2.0 a'm working on this week has a lefthand turbo failure is over boosting it should be at 7-8 psi and was jumping to 10 -14 psi the feul cutoff is at 8.5 psi so anytime it overboosts the engine shuts of is a real pain to diagnose. Is it posible that its doing somthing like that do you have a boost gauge ? it could be pulling timing if its boosting to high also have seen many knock sensers that do not ground i file the bottom and the block the cleaner the better.

The engine takes me 25-45 min to pull and about 1 hour to teardown two hours to prep and surface heads two hours to reassemble and a hour to install and test on a auto one i bill 10 hours and a standard one is 12 hours as it takes more time if servicing the clutch. I put the engine on a stand and disasemble the heads before i take them off the engine. I also knurll #2@#4 pistons if any piston slap thiss take 1 hour to do but makes a big difference

pull heads resurface and reinstall did a 04 impreza last week had 184000kms and was leaking and burning coolant have even done them as low as 70000kms the gaskets loose there coating and there done

The rear berring are nasty i take the whole assembly out i dont even try the big bolt anymore two on the xmember and on on the bottom 2 on the strut and abs conector.Thanks for reminding me have two rears to do this week

try a heavy ground wire to the bolt on the lower coil braket by ignitor to - on batt

i only use factory subaru ones never a aftermaket of any kind but before you blame the thermo make shure all the air is out and headgaskets are holding. Thremostats do not make the car overheat unless they are stuck closed

when they fail they like to stick open and dribble be the cly thats ritch

you need to drill it out from the backside works way better also whynot put a slde hammer on the post and hold it to ball joint with castle nut and hammer downward i have a large slide hammer for removing hubs whould work for thiss

That efi is very sensitive anything not 100% is a hudge problem it must all be working exactly right

I put subaru catts on everything even my lawn tractor no unburnt feul smell and i dont breath hydrocarbons win win and it shoots flames when she backfires !

use the intake that matches the car

i could knurll a piston and send it to you need to know the bore is it a-b but it will last like that

well my freind dont ask me to help put up drywall lol but when you wrench every day theese gloves are a lifesaver the cv grease is the worst and atf trying to rebiuld a 4eat with no gloves gross or a 5 speed gear oil mess i just use cheap blue nitrlie and throw them away often and few boxes of gloves is cheaper in the long run than many bottles of fast orange. And i can take the gloves off and hug my kidds without leaving greasy hand prints

is there a subaru specific scan tool ?that can do thiss

dont worry were protected in space by chinese curcit borads and lithium ion baterys made in china from are recycled garbage !

Has to do with whats left over after the combustion process less carbon and deposits in the premium feul octane is erelavent and burn temp is erelavent its the leftover crap in the feul that is important. The feul we get here is realy poor so the perium feul is a step up and not just premium chevron or mohawk 94 premium as it has some ehanol in it witch will burn cleaner it did seem to work still no 420 codes on the test 02 forester and it used to throw a 420 every 2 days and is driven at a idle by a 70 year old man so rpms dont think it sees any

having a problem figuring out how to rev up the drive by wire cars from under the hood when i do headgaskets i like to be able to control the throttle from under the hood. But drive by wire i canot is there any way to control the throttle remotly or a device that can do thiss. Anyone messed around with thiss at all ?

Two boxes a week keep the nastys out of my hands

valve addjustments they will be tighter when cold and will open up as it warms up has no code for valves to tight so it gesses whats wrong

change the 02 senser and look for damage to catts and materals blocking them. The car must have a 02 or it cant learn the 02 tells the ecu how mutch 02 is left in the exhaust so the ecu cant addjust mixture no 02 gos into default or limp mode

you dont whant it was a problem with theese cars did not hold up put on two electric fans is way safer when that fan gos it likes to take out rad. I almost died from one of theese fans explodeing missed my face by mms i was watching the motor wile reving it and fan split in half and came outa car in a big hurry i donot think they are safe
