Did you tune your car ? I want to put an inlet pipe but idk if I need a tune
Id rather install a clutch than a inlet. My suggestion to you all is IF you want to do this:
Plan for a whole day and remove the Intake manifold bolts so you can at leas move it around to snake the hoses and other related bits around. Its not a hard job so much as its an annoying one.
Also use this time to extend you hoses and buy a Silicone or hard style inlet so it will be your last time.
This install was an absolute fucking nightmare. SOOO wish your video was around when I did my inlet install last year! Would've helped me a lot. One thing I had to do when I installed mine was have a friend push from the front while I pulled from the back with a rubber hose that I strung through the inlet hose and up through one of the holes along with lots of silicon lube! Also, do you know the part number for the Mishimoto hose you used from the BPV to the inlet hose? For some reason can't find it anywhere! My stock BPV hose is getting pinched by the throttle body 🙁 Thanks man. Great and incredibly informative vid!
what size turbo inlet hose u mean installed
subscribed helped me a lot
Did you get a retune?
You're obviously very good with cars. But please buy yourself a tripod for your camera or get a helping hand. My eyes hurt from all the shaking..
What size should I get my inlet. Does it matter if it's 2.4" or 3"
Why the hell was your boost solenoid blocked off? I've never seen that before?
Can that cause your turbo to blow up
That intercooler looks like it's seen better days… I would of changed it too.
i swear these fuckers put those clips upside downs just to fuck with us. i was changing out my TB hose on my 2013 wrx and the damn this was pointed backwards and was damn near impossible to get a socket on.
Turbo inlets rot away due to the buildup of oil in the inlet due to the gas blowby from the cylinders into the pressure control system. There are two different vents, one from the crankcase, & one that's Tee'd off from both valve covers. the oil gets sucked into the turbo & lowers the octane of your gas, putting you at a greater risk of knock & detonation. Ever wonder why she smells of burned oil after boosted driving? Invest into a dual oil catch can system.
I did mine and it was a pain in the butt I used a samco hose though it took me over 3 hours
I just had a shop do this for me. This was way beyond my meager mechanic skills. The service manager showed me the stock inlet tube and sure enough, just like yours, it was torn and leaking oil there. The oil build-up was caused by a failing PCV valve, which they changed out as well. I also had them replace the banjo bolt and filter. The original filter was clean. Glad I change my oil every 3K. Great video! It reaffirms my decision to have a shop do it. 🙂
By the same time….change the PCV..it cost nothing and do lot of good for you engine!
is the 2006 intercooler lower Quality?
on my 2004 wrx 2.0 it doesnt look that "shabby"
lol this job is such a pain! It's easier to just remove the manifold in my experience and reveal the fuel and vacuum nightmare underneath. Every hose and vacuum line will end up needing to be replaced if their old, you should buy some heat sleeveing for every tube, hose, vacuum line while ur in it.
This part of the EJ motor is so under engineered its absurd.
Good video, thank you!
Could this cause my car to run extremely rich and start to misfire? Is misfiring on cylinder 2 and 4 "driver side". Haven't had a chance to check it tho
how long did this job take? i just noticed i had a boost leak hitting 8 psi where i have to hit 16, checked my inlet and that shits cut all the way around by the clamp
I'm saving up for a wrx lol. But great video man
This was a POS job when I did mines. Worth it at the end though.
