Thanks for doing the video. Wouldn't it have been easier to at least crack loose the sensor and banjo bolt while the pump was still attached to the housing? You could have used the leverage from the pump being attached to the housing to help break them loose. I would have expected those two to be rather stiff on a vehicle over 20+ years old but maybe they weren't? Was it not easy to access them while the pump was in the housing?
@WrenchHeadsTuning11 сағат бұрын
So there’s 3 reasons why I didn’t crack them while still mounted. As you said the access wasn’t the clearest and I didn’t want to break the sensor. 2nd this being the OEM pump I wanted to make sure I didn’t break anything by taking shortcuts and 3rd I was also trying to show those who needed to see what they were looking for. All the videos I make I try to present visually what you are getting your hands on.

Just ordered one for my RS. Thanks for the video! Any tips for the spring preload adjustment? They mention the softest setting is when it’s flush with the head of the valve and they recommend you tighten 3 full turns and start from there with 10 full turns in total. What have you found to be the best setting for reduced turbo lag?
@WrenchHeadsTuning11 күн бұрын
I am set at two full turns, I have zero lag and it isn’t going off heavily every time I shift. Also keep in mind that when you are on the highway using cruise control extra boost pressure will release to help maintain your speed. Overall I would start at 3 turns and adjust to your pleasure, I just repeated what I originally had with set with the Turbosmart Kompact Bov.

Would a bad sensor cause issues as no start(no spark) but has spark when tested. Starts cranking up to 460rpm then drops to around 200 and won’t start. No stored fault codes. One did pop up quick and disappear it was ignition something, I cannot replicate the fault code. New plugs, packs, and all the wiring looks good. Stumped.

So the adjustment is pretty easy. After locking the springs down, you use a 5mm pin on the shifter to lock it in home position. Then you find your lock pin on the shifter cam on the transmission part and lock it down. Release the springs they grip where they need to grab and you unpin the shifter and cam.

However since I had an aftermarket shifter, the ability to hold their shifter in the home position went away.

Bro, I cannot thank you enough for putting this video together. I had my car tuned pretty much at sea level, however I live in the mountains where the barometric pressure is obviously different than where it was tuned. On my drive back to my place, everything was perfect until I started climbing the mountain and temperatures / barometric pressure changed, resulting in some VERY weird air fuel ratio trims, something felt very wonky and during some parts of my drive it felt like I was loosing power. After watching your video I went straight to my car and set my accessport to read barometric pressure, and I compared that with the manifold absolute pressure. Go figure... the values where no where near the same. Baro pressure was at 21.76 and my man abs pressure was reading 13.81. Did some more digging regarding the actual baro pressure where I live and it should be somewhere at ~14.5, indicating that my baro pressure sensor is faulty!!! I'll follow up once I get a new one and get it installed, hopefully my fuel trim issues will get sorted - keep your fingers crossed to the Subaru gods for me. I'm more than certain that I'll probably have to get a re-tune with the new baro pressure sensor in, but holy shit it is wild that such a thing can cause very weird idle / air fuel issues. CRAZY!

Ive heard some people debate on if the aluminum ones are "better." Since the aluminum ones are stiffer, there are more chances of stress fractures due to its inability to flex like the stamped steel. This might not apply to the other Focus/Fusion models that use these since they aren't used for high performance applications.
@WrenchHeadsTuning6 ай бұрын
That’s not likely to happen. Because of the 3 points of flex/ mounting. The only way that would happen is if your CA slams on something to cause that damage and the aluminum is more likely to maintain its shape vs the hollow stamped steel.
@UGFluffyTurtle6 ай бұрын
@@WrenchHeadsTuning ay I'm just relaying what people talked about. I wouldn't say that you shouldn't use aluminum, but it should be kept in mind that they aren't OEM for one reason or another even when lower end models use them. I personally wouldn't mind, but I still went with an exact replacement.
@WrenchHeadsTuning6 ай бұрын
I’m not arguing, I’m just responding to the comment, on the dynamics of the system and how the results you mentioned could possibly happen. And typically oem goes with the cheapest possible production method, which would be stamped steel over molded aluminum.
@UGFluffyTurtle6 ай бұрын
@@WrenchHeadsTuning Yeah, it is surprising that the RS also follows that when it was the top model though. Kinda understood the "cheapest method" after the whole purge valve nonsense. Ford just slapped a software update on the ST without fixing the root of the issue, which I think was the solenoid. I may give those aluminum arms a chance if I ever need to replace the arms again. I guess I'm still a bit reserved when trusting aluminum so close to the road.

@UGFluffyTurtle yea a mild adjustment to the purge valve can make a big difference. And change the performance. Also I have used aluminum replacement arms on many cars and have never had a problem, which is usually why they can cost a bit more.
