What FMIC kit did you buy? Most 93-96 kits don't have a dumpvalve fitting point on them. There isn't a loose un-connected vac pipe somewhere is there?

 

pace performance intercooler kit it came of a 93 mines a 94 so it all fits ok no leaks but it doesnt like to run if i keep reving it it is driveable but wen i slow down it just cuts out

 

its not getting enough air , id guess sumthins not connected , do you have a dumpvalve or a recirc valve on it dude ?

 

ive got a bailey dump valve wen i rev it it sounds great but jus doesnt work lol

 

The pipe you've put the red breather on is fine like you have it, but it will make a lot of noise.
I take it looking at the pics you've blocked the old dv and idle valve holes on the intake correctly? If you have a leak here, it will give you the problems you have.
i can only thing i can sugest is check all pipes and plugs, as said above.

Mit

 

yeah ive blocked the old dumpvalve hole but jus cant gt the damn thing to work lol

 

if you get it sorted , let us know the outcome dude

 

no worries m8 thanks

 

had a similer prob after fitting mine.turned out to be the throttle body hose and pipe,it had blown off.fitted it back by going slightly inside the t/b with the intercooler pipe and re jub'd,worked great after that.im sure youve done this but all input eh

 

ive just changed everything back to tmic and left the breather on and its still doing the same. so ive put the front mount back on and narrowed it down to either breather pipe needs to go back into air flow box or maf is gone, but i have cleaned it

 

today i took of the manafold casing to find that my plastic breather hose underneath was snapped in half so i assum it was this causing the problems

 

all it was was a simple breater hose all fixed now

 

maybe some people like to do things themselves instead of chucking money around for other people to do it.are you a mechanic by any chance???
this site is good but there are some very un-helpfull know it alls on here.
and yes i am a qualified mechanic for over 18 years before joining forces and even i have asked for advice on here.
lets try giving the bloke a hand not a gobfull....

 

Ah, but bigsinky DOES have a point.

Very few people start ripping bits off a wiring loom etc since they don't know how it all works.
But there are an alarming number who take on major works on their cars without any real knowledge, then try and get if fixed on the internet.

As b/sinky says, paying for someone else's knowledge and know-how is a good idea.

 

I thought it was the breather hose!

For what its worth, I started on cars a few years back, and did all my first jobs with the mechanic I use.

I can now do a lot more, but thats largely as a result of having an MR2 turbo, and a very helpful forum. Im staggered by how much money I have spent on this car already, so can understand why people ask questions.

A lot of problems will have been seen a hundred times, so always good to eliminate the simple ones, then get a specialist if not.

 

its all working now but its not boosting up to 16 psi like b4 so ive gone back to tmic and its the same so............. back to the drawing board lol

 

I agree with u mate you will never learn anything gettin some1 else to do it

 

not a mechanic but do know how to change a tyre and check the oil and water. i openly admit i know **** all about cars, thats why i have all my subaru work done by a good mechanic i can trust to give me good advice on modification and not shaft me when it comes to paying him.

the main premise of my arguement still stands though.

 

time, aggravation and now not working as it used to. 94scooby please don't think i am having a pop at you, seriously i am not.

 

half of this thread is useless guff. simple fact is this chap is asking for some help (which is what i kinda part thought forums like these were for) and people try shooting him down for giving it a go.

1.simple fact is theres a large percentage of peeps on here who simply cant afford to chuck there car in a garage to get things fitted. id love to drop my car off at RCM every time i want something putting on- ant gonna happen though

2. always good to learn, best way of doing so is by cocking up sometimes

3. 94 scooby, my money is on a small vacuum hose thats been damaged/ split. have you tryied caping off both end of the ic system and presure testing it?

 

+1

the guys here for help, and in 5 years time some of you will be asking him for advice because he got stuck in and learnt from it!

....unlike some of you who will just be 'taking it back to my mechanic'

 

i don't wanna play anymore. notice all the toys out of my pram. fair play to you guys who want to muck in a DIY. just not my scene i suppose.

 

Hear Hear! I started off not knowing a lot about cars... and i find i learn by doing things myself... started changing oil myself from the age of 17 and can now do engine swaps, clutch changes, gearbox change myself... im no mechanic, but now know how to do all this stuff myself and love getting my hands dirty.

 

hey m8 i i have same fmic(PACE) can i get pic of you top rad pipe as different to one on my oe rad.wont to fit mine but no instuctions. cheers steve

 

I've just looked at my motor and were you have fitted the red filter, breather!
I am pretty sure it isn't if you follow the pipework back and under I'm sure it goes to the idle air control valve, now if this is the case your car will cut out as the valve will be spazing out as you are taking atmospheric air through there and the intake preasure will not be right so it will work realy weird and kill the car, you can confirm this by checking your fault codes wich will give you idle air control valve fault clear the fault code AFTER you reconnect the pipe to it's original position, hope this helps.

Col.

P.s how come on a forum for avid users of a certain vehicle when someone asks for help they get shot down, IMO that is bollocks we should help each other thats what gives the subaru community a good name after all.

Lol didn't notice it had two pages

 

hahahaha cheers guys what a thread ay lol well i think im going to have to do a remap with the fmic on

 

iv fitted my fmic this w.e got same prob with the hose that goes to the idle control valve if i block it it runs fine but cuts out if i donthope some1 can help

 

im sorry to because i thought this site was here to help people. and offer support for those that want to do their own work because they enjoy it. can people not just appreciate the fact this person has got off his *** and actually attempted something. he has done alot more than what other lazy cheque book people do.

i take my hat off to you for trying.

if your car is only boosting to 16psi now. what was it on before. have you touched any of the pipes around the turbo. and vacum hoses?

 

and 94 scooby

idle control valve pipe definately needs to go into air feed pipe as takes reading from there hope this helps? ( am also a hands on man in the middle of second forged engine rebuild and am a carpet fitter lol its all good fun learning)

cheers mate does help but the numpty who had it 1st cut hole in the pipe and just put it in but its not sealed is it but its got a well strong vaccum on it is this right?it also use 2 run fine just pushed in the hole but now it don t wanna ?
