You and me both. Even STS can't seem to get the tune correct on mine. I've had the kit for 8+ months and no one can seem to figure it out. Problem after problems but I've found a good tuner and I'm hoping he can solve what no one else can seem to figure out. Maybe it's time for the new Subbie coupe....hmmmm

The kit is good and has been proven it just has to be installed correctly , we just took the bov apart and reseated the seal and now it's fine

we cleaned the pcv valve, same problem , tried to delete it and for some reason the hose it self flows so much air that you cant close the hose with your finger , it means the boost is going is flowing in routes where it should not go to , such as catch can and every single place it can leak from . compression test is up , maybe just maybe its a bad ring piston .

blackonorange · 05-18-2012, 06:51 PM

Turned out to be a bad blow off valve go figure

blackonorange · 05-20-2012, 12:29 AM

While you got it open may as well do some internals!!!!

hindi1973 · 05-20-2012, 05:12 AM

i hope i am wrong being something internal , but lets see wht the compression shows , because all the air is flowing back to the crankcase not going to where it should to , which means this might be a burnt ring piston , but the car idles,fine,drives fine, no smoke , so not sure yet , i just hope its not with 1500miles only on the car , and the owner was on 7 psi only and a week only on 11psi , so no matter how beat on it it should have held it, it had 500 miles when he got it and he broke it in till 1000miles or so , so 500miles boosted miles .

Surely the motor didn't pop?

blackonorange · 05-21-2012, 12:29 PM

Very unlikely but a possibility

Lug · 05-21-2012, 03:24 PM

I can't see how the kit itself would be the cause of the problems seen here. It's only touching the intake and exhaust of the motor. Can't blame STS hardware for a blown ring, etc. Now if the tune was F'ed up initially, that could have caused problems.

hindi1973 · 05-21-2012, 04:01 PM

the tune was done by sts then UAM did a good job with the tune by retuning it and taken off the meth kit it had for some problems they had , the car came and the tune was good air fuel was perfect , the check engine came up after some time but ppl say thats normal with forced inductions , although in the others customers gtm kit it never had any check engine , i did notice once misfiring , and another code cant remember it but if u u guys look at my posts i think i posted the code that came up , anyway the mechanic was too busy didnt do a compression test yet , i still have hope the its not internal because having oil on plugs doesnt mean ring piston right away it might mean alot of stuff , such as cylinder walls or excessive clearance in the valve steam , and if the pcv is plugged or inoperative it can cause building up crankcase pressure which will force oil and oil vapors past rings and valves guides into the combustion chamber which will blow oil like crazy on plugs for example ,

am just going nuts because i took of the pcv from its route and closed all hoses with screws , and air filled with little smoke is coming up from every single way it can reach which means all the boost is leaking out for some reason , even if the engine blew , in the world of power 7psi ,11psi or 1000psi **** happens , we just have to live with it and learn more and more , i hope

hindi1973 · 05-22-2012, 02:38 PM

did a compression test , dry and wet and results are so nice loool , its inbetween 140 to 200 , i guess the normal compression test should be 200's , two of them are 200's the rest are 140 , 150,160 etc etc , so engine is messed up thats why all the boost is not building up and going to the oil pan i guess not where its suppose to go to , i am shocked , but again as i said shi* happens , time to open up the beast

blackonorange · 05-25-2012, 04:05 PM

Yikes , oh well at least now u can do some internals , my car is running great , the only problem is traction and keeping gas in the tank

blackonorange · 08-03-2012, 06:58 AM

Well guys I got the dreaded p0300 code ( multiple misfires ) what can i do to get rid of it , I'll try cleaning the maf sensors
