1-3-2-4 Posted October 2, 2017 Author Share Posted October 2, 2017 Very Happy for you, must be a great load off your shoulders. It would be even better when I have the idle enough I can move around under it's own power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1-3-2-4 Posted October 2, 2017 Author Share Posted October 2, 2017 A little more progress today Home Depot was short on flange nuts so I only got two out of the three more I need. I got the AC pulley off with the jaw puller crazy after it came off it started to turn again but doesn't matter anyways going to change it out. My calipers have got to change as well as the rotors the brake line is rusted I'm not sure how I'm going to change to braded lines? Drained and filled the transmission fluid the magnetic plug was pretty much full but nothing odd about the fluid other than it being old. Tomorrow I will install the belts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Capacity Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 If the brakes will work, I would not mess with the flex lines right now. The rust on the rotors will clean off once the car is rolling and the brakes are used.

1-3-2-4 Posted October 4, 2017 Author Share Posted October 4, 2017 I might be taking a hole saw to my firewall if I can't get any response soon.. the wideband sensor is the biggest connector plus I'd run the boost line in the same area.. just hoping to come out a little on the passenger side just past the center vents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d22597 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 I entered my wideband thru the large plug to the right of the passenger strut. The plug you showed goes to the sensor? Hopefully the plug to the gauge is smaller to enter from the engine bay thru the firewall. I also used silicone spray to help slide the connector/harness thru... that stuff is like automotive KY and dries residue free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvick08GT Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 It doesn't disconnect at the gauge? That is what d22597 is saying to do. Disconnect from gauge and feed the smaller end through the firewall to the gauge. Motor sounds healthy, glad to see it running! Great job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think it does lol as far as the motor too much fuel so it has to be scaled back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1-3-2-4 Posted October 4, 2017 Author Share Posted October 4, 2017 Ugh crap the location where the o2sensor goes the bung is on so tight it started to round a bit.. I need the wideband location. I'm trying to figure out the best way to get the area for the oxygen sensor out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Best place for a wide band is close to the turbo outlet, with in 12". 6-12" is ideal if I recall. Just checked my pictures from the race car, looks like we did about 6"-8" from the turbo flange. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs.

1-3-2-4 Posted October 4, 2017 Author Share Posted October 4, 2017 Yeah I installed it where it should go, now I need to free and unstick the area were the oxygen sensor should go I'm not sure if it's rusted or just very tight.. could not get the rear o2 sensor off it too was so tight my oxygen sensor socket had no issues rounding it off. Need to find the vac leak the engine of it does idle it will be around -15 inhg if you open the throttle then close it it will go near -30inhg which is normal.. I doubt the injectors would cause the idle to be like that? But then again if it does idle it's slow due to the extra fuel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Did you use a screw type hose clamp around the O2 socket to keep it from spreading ? 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs.

So I just need to get a new rear 02 sensor.. However I will probably get a e-tune week after next exhaust is on now just minus 3 bolts 40mm is too long for the sides and under Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is suppose to be a conversion kit to make it less of a batch, it was posted like 4 times in one of the "what did you do to your 4th gen?" posts but I forgot to snag it and toss it into my build procrastination thread notes. 2005 Satin White Pearl Subaru Legacy 2.5 GT Unlimited 5EAT (Project Car) 2019 Agate Black Ford Explorer XLT 4WD (DD) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Capacity Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Yea they came out with a upgrade kit for the cabin air filter back in 2006. Should be able to get it from a dealer. May be someday, I'll check mine in the wagon. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

1-3-2-4 Posted October 5, 2017 Author Share Posted October 5, 2017 Upgrade as in how the glove box? It seems like when you remove the part that holds the manual you would think you could pull it out but no that's too easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Hey, I think I have a spare rear O2 sensor in the shed. It has the yellow wrapping. Yea, they made a retro fit kit for the cabin air filter in the 05's. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD).

Max Capacity Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 I'm guessing there is enough space to slip some wire in that gap. Let me know when its running may be I can meet you half way. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.
