Well apparently the message I posted earlier did not post?
Need some help from people who have Turbo'd their Phase 1 EJ25d's
Basically the biggest issues I am running into when trying to pipe everything is that it all wants to reside in the same location. IE where the turbo inlet goes. I am running 8mm Grimmspeed spacers, have cut off the Evap solinoid bracket from the intake and made room by moving fuel rails so I can run the under intake manifold.
I cannot for the life of me find a decent way to route the bypass valve into the intake tube. I am running an HKS BOV with the recirc fitting. I am unable to run it straight down as it goes right into the throttle linkage. On the other side of the intake you have the PCV valve, IAC body, Turbo inlet, The only viable option I can see would be to make my own turbo inlet and plumb accordingly. I want my engine bay to look as factory as possible to minimize headaches with the DMV on visual inspection, and I hate clutter. Hoses, wiring, things that look out of place.
I have currently used my valve cover breather tubes that came with the car and trimmed them to use the WRX intercooler pipe. I will be adding dual catch cans in the future for both the crank case and the valve cover breathers, routing cleaner air back into the intake track.
Any detailed photos of what you guys are running would be a huge help. Even when I was planning this out reading everything I could, I did not really find any good photos showing how everyone ran all their Vac lines and hose plumbing.
Here are some photos kinda showing what I have going on right now.
I am wondering since I will be tuning speed density in boost with Emanage, if I can just VTA and not have to worry about the extra headaches. I was also considering moving the IAC and making it remote, but this adds complexity and additional hose routing which makes more of what I am trying to remove. I have also considered just getting a 2.2 5speed ECU sans EGR and finding a later model JDM phase 1 intake designed for under the intake inlet tube. I am running out of time on getting my car running as I need to go through the trans/suspension on my daily driver and already have 2 Legacy wagons pulled apart at my shop.
Much thanks in advance!
