Finish Supra battery relocation, DSM gauge installs, STI turbo diagnose, etc.
The battery relocation on Mike’s Supra was finished up. Everything is loomed, the ground is complete, the fuel tank access plate has been notched so it’s no longer crushing the power feed to the fuel pump relay (not our install), and the wires are secure.
Boost, EGT, oil pressure and wideband gauges are going in Rob’s 2G Eclsipe GSX as that build continues…
I started the engine run in on Brian’s 04 STI.
We talked to FIC about the injector issue and they agreed that Jon’s 650cc WRX injectors need to go in for cleaning and testing so they’ll be coming out.
We diagnosed a turbo oil leak on Rich’s STI. It turns out the turbo itself is internally damaged and the oil is leaking out of the center section, then seeping out between the turbo center section and exhaust housing. Time for another turbo… We discussed the Evo 3 16g as a more durable replacement for the stock turbo, a turbo inlet hose to replace his aging stock unit and some supporting mods.
AND...we did some spring cleaning which will continue here and there as we can spare a little time. I finally decided to let a bunch of my old junk go so the scrap pile is growing.
