with ether spray gentaly around the questanble area and watch for increase in rpms will suck in ether if leaking only see intake gasket leaks on 92-94 2.2 s with non meatal intake gaskets. Have been all over the exhausts on theese 420 cars no leaks at all but lots of missing heat shields but have cars with 0 heat shieds that dont set 420 seems to be no commen conection of why the 420 comes up on some but not others have had 2 of exact cars here one with 420 and one without wish i knew what to meshure between them to see what the differace is

i whould like a good stand alone injecton seystem but not in budjet for thiss year i managed to remove alot of weight have been weighing the removed materail to get idea of total weight removed is slowly ading up i will put the water sprayer in but only have a spot right in front of or behind the nos sprayer is very short pipe from turbo to tb and not mutch room for jets hope it dosent cause problem i wish had a test track for it hard to get it into the boost trying it up my road dyno whoud be nice

spilt blowoff valve tube or intercooler leak or stuck blowoff valve

still no 420 fix yet

the ea81 su carbed turbo was the lightest and simplest and made good times butt pistons broke was a neat setup realy simple. anyway i have the water meth setup puting it on today it whould be nice to have a stand alone feul seyestem but have no supplyers here for that just lordco and min 1200$ for engine management my ecu and harness is from a 91 legacy 2.2 five speed i know its not the best for turbo but is the simplest one i use no intercooler because it turns into a bomb have had some nasty intercooler blowups I a'm cocerned about the nos turning the water meth to ice and could that hurt the engine anyway have 3 days to get ready and race took 25 lbs off the tires and almost 200 lbs off buggy hope lighter is faster

So thiss is the ten year power plant list for buggy started with a ea81 carbed whent to ea81 turbo with Su draw through then whet to 2.2 na engine with turbo then a 2.2 turbo engine with twin cam heads then a 2.5 with roller 2.2 heads turbo then a 2.7 xt six with turbo then a 3.0 six with turbo then a 2.5 with twincam heads and turbo then back to 2.5 with 2.2 turbo heads and finaly a 2.5 with forged turbo pistons and 2.5 shoc heads that i a'm running now anyway have broken the pistons in evryone of theese engines even without nos on every one the pistons were the only problem with them nothing esle ever fails just pistons

did 3 headgasket jobs thiss week 99 outback 02 impreza and full engine rebiuld on a 04 forester none had 420 codes even with blown headgaskets still no fix as of yet the test 03 turns on the 420 whenever it hitts a hill

one was a 3.0 six with vdc others were high miles out backs over 350000kms

did a outback headgaskets yesterday takes about 6 hours pull motor plane heads and reassembble and reinstall the engine had tight valves on #3 and #4 heads had been done before and buckets had been mixed up make shure you check valve clearance before bolting cams down

somting i noticed on the 04 and up they moved the rear o2 farther forward and to on top of catt seemed to help less 420 on the newer ones

the gas round here is not so good very dirty i cange feul fillters often and they are very bad when i do alot of particulate in gas i think the octane is allright and not to mutch addatives just dirty still no 420 fix had a 99 legacy 2.2 420 yesterday and a 04 outback 420 and a 98 legacy 420 all in one day 420 come 3 or 4 at a time

heat up a touruqes bitt about 3/8 red hot and push into the plastic and then heat side of trans gentaly to help relase the locktite and should be able to spin out

whats a epa ? canada not shure who looks at that stuff problem is all theese cars are to old for anyone to care goverments life expectacy of a car is 160000kms or less

check timing belt sounds like one tooth off on ds cam

if i send customer there they deny it can be done have sent more than one dealer is hiding this info from public or tech is hiding info from service department

Most important thing must have more than ten psi oil preshure hot at idle to have good enuff bottom end to be worth doing heads on should be 15-25 10 is min

nope two days later 420 agian had had a talk with one of the apprentices at are local subaru dealer he said they reflash the ecu to fix problem i have no way of doing thiss and the dealer will not do thiss as a service or admitt it exists at all :banghead:mabee if i send 50 cars there in a row it will help i fugure its a subaru ecu callabration problem is just to sensitive

is one of the next steps we are looking at any ideas for a kit for subarus and how whould it mix with nos ?

oh and my two bitts make sure distributor is grounded to block as silly as it sounds and check ig fuse and the black under hood fuse box for burt fusabble links and the main power feed to under hood fuse box very rare to loose spark ushaly looses the injector pulse the distrbutor has two curcuts one controls spark and one controls injector pulse check to c if it pulses injector when cranked

i have a good used crank for the early 25d out of a 96 outback

no egr on a 251 and the egr sets its own codes funny thing the test car stoped turning on the light about 300 kms after the lucas feul treatment it hasent turned on the light in 3 trips up the hill so back to feul injector problems bett they get pluged or sticky or just dont move enuff feul

we dialed the nos down to a 50 shot was making good times untill got boged down and loaded when got loaded the # 1 piston cracked and pices got on top of # 3 and smashed plug changed plug and she still ran but has piston damage agian so the delma is how to get anuther 300 hp out of what i have the cars in my class are making around 500-1000 hp and for me to get on top i need at least 400-600 hp right now i'm 300 at best need some ideas on what to do next lighter longer more hp i have my lanch perfect traction is perfect suspention is good just need more motor or managment anyone whant to sponser me a race motor

oh i see thiss alot check the wire harness where it has the flexable conduate btween the body and the hatch likes to break there as thiss is where it moves last one had 4 broke wires and was shorting the brake lights out i also see it on legacys and foresters and outbacks and justys even on sedans always where the harness moves

front ujoint in rear driveshaft have had 3 in a row all toast one destroyed the tailshaft on trans

Have heads checked for cracks in exhaust ports as was commen problem
