welcome back. needed a changeplayed with the tune a little more, it was hanging in 1st and second every once and a while so i redid a lot of the transmission settings with the bluecat tool again seems to have helped abunch. actually shifts kind of smooth, leaned out cruise cells, was seeing 14/15mpgs out of it @65-75 mph
debating what to do with it all weekend, kinda sick of working on it but theres improvements to be made....then about 4 this afternoon i decided to rip it down.
got the a2a intercooler off, chiller mounted back in - need to hook up refrigerant lines and coolant hoses. going to just run a smallish underhood tank so hose routing going to be a little different when i find something
moved the trans cooler back against the condenser, kept all the hard lines so was easy for once
pulled the top half of the hiram off and put the a2w back on - while doin so, i noticed cyl 6 port was unusually clean while the rest had a light coat of oil in them, i pulled the plug for that cyl and everything looked good - i may pull the valve cover and take a look and make sure spring and rocker good.
pulled the injectors out to drop them off and get cleaned.
i had about all the 3.5" tubing i need to make something up in my stash (with a maf) so tomorrow going to lay it out a few ways and see what i like best. turbo selection still up in the air - the bigger vsracing is a little better with some more timing and the bov connected- getting rid of the a2a and all that charge pipe it may be acceptable.
i placed another order for a stock 6.2 exhaust, last order got canceled after waiting a couple months, will see if this one does as well.

pulled the passengerside valve cover, rolled engine over a dozen times or so, everything lookin tiddies. put it back on
my injector cleaner guy not open on mondays so i gotta drop those off tomorrow
changed both wheel bearings on the subaru, they looked like ass, major rust stains coming out of both. i have a feeling im going to be changing them a time or two a year
And stock exhaust order was refunded

Injectors back and cleaned, one was definitely fugged up. The before flow test wasn't that bad so I asked and he said yea...one of them just held wide open and for half the test then quit working all together, then the rest caught up to it. That's why it doesn't look so bad lol
I was going to try and move coils around, swap in some fresh plugs and stuff but hopefully that was my problem.

Back to here, need to order a 3.5" 180 to try and get some pipe between turbo and tb to put maf in somewhere.
Going to have to shoot them both down and 180 them together, or, which I am seeming to favor the more I look at it- shoot them both to the driver side, will be up higher in the engine bay. But I think it looks better.
Down I have to bring them both outta the fans anyway to miss the crank/belt crap
got it vacd down to recharge AC
I'm considering not running a reservoir for the chiller intercooler at all. I don't ever not have the ac on, not concerned with back to back pulls, it runs fine with 130+ IATs anyway,

You end up buying your own ac equipment?
