Engine rebuild help
 
i have just rebuilt my engine and have been fitting it today but i cant remember where the platic pipe under the inlet manifold connects to or which way around it goes
and help especially any pics would be great

Thanks

Do you mean the large turbo intake pipe?

If so, the "straight-on" end goes to the turbo collar, and the "90-deg" end faces the driver's wing, ready for the 'S'-shaped MAF pipe/MAF/airbox to attach to.

stevie_p 20 March 2010 09:34 PM

no sorry its on a 96 import and the pipe runs left to right with 2 pipes one side and one the other end. Its about the same length as the inlet manifold from left to right

joz8968 20 March 2010 09:39 PM

Sorry mate. I expect they are oil breathers - don't know.

I don't suppose YOU can take a pic of yours?

stevie_p 20 March 2010 09:46 PM

no im afraid not its on the car just not sure its right although i do think its somthing to do with the breathers

dazdavies 20 March 2010 09:54 PM

Sounds like its either the breathers or the recirc dumb valve return. Either way both will return to the plastic inlet pipe that runs under the inlet manifold to the turbo.

great hopefully this will help me get the kob done lol

joz8968 21 March 2010 12:32 AM

kob? What's that? :wonder: lol

joz8968 21 March 2010 12:34 AM

Ahh, you hit the k instead of j (sorry for being thick).

stevie_p 21 March 2010 09:15 AM

oops lol ive just rebuilt my engine and am re fitting it ive put in wiesco pistons eagle rods and cosworth bearings. i was putting it in yesterday and just hit a couple of snags first was the pipe ive mentioned above and the scond problem is with the vac pipes youve got three outlets on the top of the inlet manifold and the 'T' piece goes on the middle one i cant work out where the two ends go any help on that would be great thanks

Basically these items need a vac feed:-

* fuel pressure reg
* dump valve
* BCS's pressure exchange solenoid
* boost/vac gauge (if fitted)
* w/g actuator

- IMPORTANT: Make sure the FPR defo gets a direct feed from the IM.

- The BCS pressure exchange solenoid gets a direct feed from the IM too, I believe.

- The w/g act. gets its feed indirectly from the turbo comp spout's nipple, but loops to the 3-port BCS's top port first, then out of the BCS's middle port and on to the w/g (if a MY96). If a MY97, then I think you have a 2-port BCS, in which case the comp nipple joins to T-piece, then the other straight end goes to the w/g, whilst the 90-deg leg goes to the BCS.

This leaves a spare nipple - hook this to the DV. Then T into this DV's feed for a boost/vac gauge (if one fitted).

I think that covers it. If there's anything missing/inaccurate, then hopefully people like JGM, Enginetuner, etc. will add to/rectify the above.... :)

Thanks for that ive managed to sort that now with the help above :luxhello:

just one problem now :Suspiciou everything is now connected tried to start engine but no good
there doesn't appear to be any spark took out 1 plug and earthed it to the block turned over but nothing. tested with a test light the 2 wires going into the coil pack both earthed when ignition off and both live with ignition on but no spark when turning over i am pretty sure i have connected everything but there is one multi block on left hand inner wing but i dont think it was connected before i think it went to the origional air filter but not used now i have blitz induction kit if it helps it is in the same loom as a multi block that goes to the exhaust.

Any ideas about this would be great as its all thats stopping me getting back on the road and i have checked the crank shaft sensor is connected

thanks in advance :D

make shore that the cam sensor and injector plugs are not mixed passenger side that is

how do i tell the difference between them i did notice there were 3 connectors very similar if not the same and would this cause it not to start ?

tldevil 21 March 2010 10:07 PM

i made this mistake lol does one have a white tag on the outer sheaf if so that is the one for the injector closes to the front of the car only one should reach the cam sensor ive just built mine and now have what sounds to me as one sticky lifter pain in the arse never again lol

stevie_p 21 March 2010 10:25 PM

thanks for that will have a look tomorrow and keep my fingers crossed lol

tldevil 22 March 2010 10:27 PM

how did it go

stevie_p 23 March 2010 12:20 PM

checked all that and it was all ok. looking at the fuel pipes running under the inlet manifold i think i may have made a mistake there im just trying to find a manual that has the info in it as the one i downloaded doesnt cover that

tldevil 23 March 2010 08:33 PM

if u can get to a fax machine ask subaru to give u an exploded view or go to ur local subaru garage and ask 4 it
