TheSubaruJunkie Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 I was having problems getting my EA82T to go past 4500rpm. Anytime I'd take it WOT it would start to sputter and backfire anywhere past 4300 to 5000rpm, forget about reaching 5500rpm, the car just didnt have the gusto. So after a few weeks of wrackin my brain, i just gave up. Figured it's probably a leak somewhere in the web of hoses under my hood. So I undid all the mods. Put the stock plentum back on, removed the Saab 900 IC and BPV, removed the custom intake pipes, removed the manual boost controller. Took it for a drive, and it seems to idle alot smoother. Acceleration off the line doesnt buck and near-stall like it used to. And for the 1st time in weeks my car finally passed the 5200rpm mark on the tach. But i cant drive like this for long. 6psi, no intercooling... just isnt right. -Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubaruJunkie Posted November 6, 2005 Author Share Posted November 6, 2005 Oh and i checked my timing. It was off the mark... probably something like 30+ degrees BTDC. So i adjusted it down to about 22 degrees BTDC. Buhbye pinging! -Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soobme Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Matt (ThreeEyedBandit) has goten pritty good with the Mega Squirt sys., Iv'e seen him run a Justy with a throw on turbo with it, and an ER27 with it and they ran good. Might be time to look into new stand alone fule man. U are good with computers, U tune it with a lap top. I don't know if they would check for that to pass smog or not:-\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
