PorkchopSandwiches Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 I stand corrected. The forester and impreza had very similar center consoles. Definitely looks like impreza gauges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpecBamf41 Posted May 6, 2013 Author Share Posted May 6, 2013 Thank you. The car was a rocket on the way home. Now the next day I'm having issues. So Yea I do need help already haha. I'm having major problems upon spool up. Like once its get spooled up it cuts in and out of power. And my afr gauge rockets to 20. Off boost driving is fine and some boost is still fine. But under wot the intake sounds as if its closing in on itself. Sent from my S3 BNR18g on 93oct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennyfvholla Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 317 chp What upgrades have been done to it? Where did you find that thing? And you better be careful with that car. It'll kill you if you're not careful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpecBamf41 Posted May 6, 2013 Author Share Posted May 6, 2013 Some paper work that came with it said it dynoed 317 when it was first built. Its boosting to about 1.2 bar and tapers to 1 ish by redline. No power mods beside a cone filter on the intake. I found it on nasioc in the classifieds and picked it up in north carolina. It was built in az in 2004 and sold to a nc guy then me 3 days ago Sent from my S3 BNR18g on 93oct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBT Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Boost leak sounds like. However if you're reading 1.2bar, it's likely not leaking too much, post turbo. MAF correct? Possibly pre-turbo with 20:1 AFR - squealing could be the TIH. - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpecBamf41 Posted May 6, 2013 Author Share Posted May 6, 2013 Car is making zero boost now. As soon as I get on it the power cuts out and pretty much stays out now. I don't see how I can have a boost leak when its makeing zero boost nor have a leak in the one 90 degree coupler. What's weird is the safc has the air correction around 25 percent on the entire rpm scale. 35 at idle. I should probably get bigger injectors. But one would think a stock car would have the corrections all at 0 percent? Going nuts! Had all this power the day I bought it and now its nothin Sent from my S3 BNR18g on 93oct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpecBamf41 Posted May 6, 2013 Author Share Posted May 6, 2013 Update. Full power now. No idea why. Sent from my S3 BNR18g on 93oct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpecBamf41 Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share Posted May 7, 2013 Update. Problem came back. First sign of it was under wot near 7 k in 5th. And quickly worsened to making no boost at all. Pulling hair out! Sent from my S3 BNR18g on 93oct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennyfvholla Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Well.. 7k in 5th is quite a load on the motor.. Also, I suggest not driving the motor very hard until you have fixed the problem. Driving that hard can generally make most problems worse. Especially when you're under boost like that. Let's walk through it. You have a top mount... You're boost gauge reads low when the issues occurs.. So, logically your issue is between where the turbo and intercooler piping meet and where the intake manifold meets the heads... Or a wastegate issue... Now, it happens intermittently.... That means that it's not at any hardware connection points... Nor any holes... Is there an after market blow off valve or does it use the OE setup? Have you made sure it works properly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyposeur Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Clean your MAF. I was having boost issues a while back. I made a boost leak tester and fixed quite a few leaks but the problem was still there. It helped but in the end the MAF was bad and the unmetered air was the issue.
