cmdetailing Posted February 22, 2016 Author Share Posted February 22, 2016 [ATTACH]225222[/ATTACH] Here is the FSM page. Thank you sir! I wonder how hard this would be to do in the engine bay. I might tackle it this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cBax Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 that seal was the 1st thing I thought about this morning when I woke up. Hoping I didnt put too much on, with the drain back holes so close.

cmdetailing Posted February 22, 2016 Author Share Posted February 22, 2016 I plan on trying to add the liquid gasket after I take off the valve covers tomorrow. Also going to install a Grimmspeed boost controllers too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmoore5 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I would use brake kleen, try to keep off the stuff that needs oil (cams, etc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmdetailing Posted March 2, 2016 Author Share Posted March 2, 2016 Hey guys I just did my first power pull for David at Cryo, and I ran into an issue. Apparently I am overboosting and I am not sure what this issue is. I did just install a Grimmspeed EBC, but I followed their video to a T. Perhaps its a wastegate issue? This is a brand new VF52 turbo tho... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTBwrench Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Is it a stock wastegate actuator? An over posting situation just means exhaust gasses aren't being allowed to bypass the hot side of the turbo. I would try and physically cycle it with the car off (and cold, obviously) to make sure it's not hitting anything(like a divorced wastegate downpipe splitter) or sticking. Then I would triple check my EBCS plumbing. Next, I would test the functionality of the EBCS. And of course make sure Dave knows you have an EBCS so he can change the wastegate duty cycle tables. The VF52 is known to creep, but over posting is a whole mother thing.

I thought about double checking the EBC plumbing myself. Someone did mention to me that wrx's have a brass re stricter pill that goes in the vacuum line to the intercooler, could that be the issue? Dave has been notified that I changed the Grimmspeed EBC, I asked him prior to installing it.

MTBwrench Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Look at your wastegate duty cycle in the logs. It goes down to zero when you're overboosting. It should probably be in the 40-60% range if you're on the stock BCS, depending on turbo. I bet that's your problem. Looks like a custome tune, who did it?

David from Cryotune, we are still on the tuning process. What would you recommend that I do? The turbo is a VF52. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTBwrench Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 I highly doubt Dave would make a mistake. I also had my thoughts wrong, 0% wastegate duty cycle means you should be running on wastegate boost pressure (8-11psi). You don't still have the restrictor pill in there, do you? The EBCS elimintaes that, I believe. Mine was one line to compressor, one line to wastegate, and one line to manifold.

I will just check my plumbing to see if I made an error. David is great to work with by the way. This is the video I followed for installation.

MTBwrench Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 If you followed the video properly, you should be just fine with the EBCS plumbing. I would try to cycle the wastegate and see if it actually moves. To do that, remove the TMIC and turbo heatshield first. The wastegate actuator is the cylindrical piece with a rod coming out of it that hangs off of the passenger side of the turbo. It should be connected to an arm that runs into the hot side housing, that's the wastegate flapper arm. Grab that rod and see if it cycles, it'll take come force, but it should move. Ideally, you would just drop the downpipe and connect a low pressure source to the wastage actuator line, the flapper should open up around 8-11 psi depending on what turbo you have.

I stopped by the shop real quick and gave it a look. I noticed that the vacuum line reducer that I had moved to be connected to the turbo inlet had an oval shape rather than a circular shape? Maybe this could be the issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmdetailing Posted March 23, 2016 Author Share Posted March 23, 2016 Does anyone know that part number for the hose that carried the coolant into the turbo? Btw fixed both the boost issue and the fuel leak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
