A blow off valve is basically an intentional boost leak lol

@Longtrailside 4 года назад

Wow they really upgraded their smoke machines. I bought the same one 3 years ago and this a huge jump up, good job AUtool. Still love mine though it doesn't have the newest features, but still gets the job done.

@nancyoffenhiser4916 4 года назад

"Ok let's get this piece of #$%@ out of here and install the FACTORY...." That smoke machine has paid for itself already!

@jakubdugz9677 4 года назад

Thank you for posting this. Much appreciated

@MidoChan808 2 года назад

I know this is old but I appreciate this video, I just recently did a secondary air pump delete on my wrx and spark plugs. I now think I have a boost leak from somewhere. My target boost is 20lbs but I only see around 18.5

@crpreludeh22 4 года назад

Love your channel 😎👍 can't believe how cheap that smoke machine is, usually $900.00 + for one of them. Keep making those videos, and thanks for the info.

@MrSubaru1387 4 года назад

Yeah, so far I'm really impressed with it, for the money.

@ernestopineda4996 7 месяцев назад

i have an 02 wrx i just bought "someone else's problems". I have a v7 sti jdm and timing belt, new oil and water pump, clutch, pressure plate, need the fly wheel then its overhaul time. then i want to do tenin street z coilovers. Then i need to do rotors and calipers. iits a money pit, and to think I want to do an RS build/restore next. I live in dorms on an AF base and I cant live out my dreams of working on the care the way I want to!

@bruceholinight7978 4 года назад

Don't give up on that Rex brother , I've done that swap it's worth the hassle ! Don't use the 5 speed if you can access a 6 speed ! The 6 speed really makes it come to life ! My version 7 JDM gets hammered every day for a year now and test the 8000 rpm every day ! I can't kill it , I've had 3 usdm WRX/STI Subies and killed every one within 6 months ! Just look at the flywheel on the 6 speed and you won't believe the difference ! I like all of them !

@Alex_Bailon 3 года назад

Just bought this smoke machine. I read somewhere about being careful with pressurizing the crank case and removing the oil fill cap when testing. What's a safe pressure to test at?

@wereoursouls3472 4 года назад

Could leaks like that cause an exhaust smell to come through the vents. Also, do you have a video where you replace the remaining leaking hoses. Thanks.

@0TSProductions 2 года назад

Could you re-link which smoke tester you were using? it seems to have broke

Hey Mr.Subaru, i have a 2002 wrx 2.0. I been having power steering issues for as long as i can remember. I have swap power steering hoses (pressure lines and rubber hoses) power steering pump and rack n pinion (both remanufactured). Bought a new power steering reservoir. I am still having noise issues with it and bubbles. I have bled the system so many times but cant figure out what can be the problem. If you have any advice for me i would really appreciate it.Thank you for your time and Merry Christmas.

@hansgoranhogstrom1900 4 года назад

can you tell us how you use the smoke machine, maybe upload a video on that? And do you have to pull the plugs to use it? what pressures are fine without pulling them? Asking because I have a plug with bad threads on my 95 volvo 940 turbo and Id rather not try and remove it until I have A: a car I can borrow for a while in case it goes bad pulling the plug and I have to order parts or B: I already have all the parts I need to pull and reassemble the head wether that would be a new head or repaired head with thread inserts. It sucks, some smuck before me screwed up both the oil drain plug and one of the plugs. I managed to get the drain plug off but I will need a new one for the next oil change and I also did the plugs but left one in there as it wasnt threading very nicely so after like half a turn I just turned it back in. :( Im contemplating wether to try and remove it and massage the threads, but its not too likely to work out but cheaper and easier if it does work out than pulling and swapping/repairing the head. -_-

@derekmichel 3 года назад

Did this car have a lean code? My 14 wrx is showing a p0171 and replacing the front o2 sensor and MAF sensor didn't fix it.

@mr.diesel6042 4 года назад

Could you do a video on how to clean the valves on a gasoline direct-injection Subaru?

@Caelin100 4 года назад

From All Data checklist, I understand it's only possible to check Half of the ignition module with the multimeter.

hey robert, can ya drop that link for the smoke machine? link is broken. thanks fam

@thewatsonian8111 4 года назад

Where did you get the inflatable tube plug from? Did it come with the smoke machine?

@MrSubaru1387 4 года назад

It came with the smoke machine kit.

Ah shame, thanks for the reply mate.

@svtwrc 4 года назад

GFB Go Fast Bits is a good company and they do make quality parts but even the manual for some of the good Bypass valves resirculating too , but they need to be cleaned and maintained . The problem with most is that they have too many connections and may have multiple screws and bolts. The stock Bypass is so good and it has a small port in it that keeps the pressure even on both sides

@Howell_Projects 2 года назад

do you have to take off the intake manifold to replace those pcv hoses mine are cracked and hard as a rock about to replace them all...

@MrSubaru1387 2 года назад

No, but it's a PITA.

Do you have any experience with JDM engines in Charlotte? I am looking to replace the engine in my "05 Forester daily driver and was wondering if their used engines are reliable. Thanks.

@MrSubaru1387 4 года назад

I've called them once to price an engine, but never bought anything from them. Can't say on quality of their products.

@AndroidUnlocked 4 года назад

hey MrSubaru, I was wondering if you or maybe another commenter could help me out. I have a 2003 wrx and the previous owner said he messed around with the wastegate actuator arm to fix an underboosting issue. He claimed to turn the arm inwards a couple of turns and now that it is winter here I am experiencing serious overboost. Honestly afraid to drive the car, can't afford a blown motor :)). continuing onto the question from the factory how many threads should be visible on the wastegate arm of a stock td04 turbo for a 03 wrx. Thank you for the help in advanced!

@RichardCrannium 4 года назад

Did you ever get the answer. I’m having a similar issue just under boost instead

@mygt8351 3 года назад

How would you approach a surging idle issue? Only happens on a cold start, but once the car is warmed up it goes away.

@MrSubaru1387 3 года назад

Sounds like a leaking gasket or seal in the intake tract.

@alfredojarillo3146 2 года назад

So does boost kick in during second gear on 02-04 WRXs?

@satoshibautista7766 Год назад

How many pounds of intake air normal for a turbo Subaru?

@mericaactual3030 4 года назад

When will people learn, aftermarket crap is just that, crap. People getting rich off of sub-par junk parts.

@kevingallineauii9353 4 года назад

Some of it is quality. Problem is buying a performance part and making the mistake that performance equals quality. Just because something is expensive or is something the car didn't come with does NOT mean it is good. The old adage "you get what you pay for" rings true here.

@boosti_alex1428 4 года назад

Some aftermarket parts can be better than OEM... Just depends who you buy from.

@802Garage 4 года назад

Yeah it really just depends on brand. For a BOV anything under $100 is generally going to be risky. That said plenty of people make the cheap ones work, especially with a little modification. Of course if your Subaru is not tuned then putting on any BOV instead of a recirc is a bad idea.

@obloj 4 года назад

Awesome video Mr Subaru. I have a question why Subaru 6sp mt is so hard to shift first and second here when cold this is insane. After few miles when gets warmer is ok but this is craziness. I drove so many manual cars and never seen anything like that.

@BramBiesiekierski 4 года назад

Try some quality oil. Cheap oil can cause this problem.

Ok I got question.. the green plugs under the dash for wrx. Does that bypass the radiator fan relay???

Those are diagnostic test plugs.

You likely have air trapped in the cooling system.
