bump in the name of i'm not sure i can tackle this with no insight

First off i do apologize because i know there are a ton of BHG threads, but i could not find what i was looking for. Here's my dilemna, on the highway at 55 as i notice my temp gauge goes to half, my car normally doesnt get this high. I look down a moment later, and before my eyes it jumps...

The driver seat in my parts car is power. I however cannot get it to move forward to remove the two bolts in the back, holding it to the car. I'm not sure if the motor in it is fried or if I am just not getting power to it, when i put the battery in, the interior lights will come on, but still...

I might have to go and order mine after hearing all this good talk. Thanks guys.

did it happen shortly after you installed that BOV, mine had the same problem, just not all the black smoke. i would check that BOV's vacuum lines.

I just did a rear interior strip down last night, just the seats, carpet, and plywood. Front seats, carpet, and all plastic is still in the car though. That with the removing of my dual 10" subs should give me a decent weight reduction. I know i'm not going to see real gains from this but i...

I just got my heat shield off last night and i'll be checking for shaft play later today. My turbo has 200k on it, i'm picking up one with around 100k. I think that swap is almost inevitable. Too bad if that doesnt sound right, i know what i mean.

i'm not sure if the impreza was turbo. from the way it pulled i'd have to say no, it had no balls.

If you have not just done a HG, and done it right, or have the money to do a HG, right, then it may be best to wait on major boost increases. Maybe not going over 7psi is a good idea. But obviously your decision, i would just use that as a guide.

87' 5-Speed 7MGTE w/ 2.5" Hard IC Piping, BOV, Lighter Rims vs. 95' Subaru Impreza 5-Speed w/ Cat-back and muffler(fart can) I followed him for about 2 miles trying to get him to realize that i'm behind him on a 2 lane road. As i'm almost going to give up on him he jumps into the...

I asked this question a lil while ago and got the same answer from multiple members here, safe to say you need to get both head and block machined.

i would go with a mhg but i cant get the blocked decked so i guess it's pointless. thats why i wont go with a mhg.

Yeah i don't see the big issue here, 5 psi on a fairly stock car is about normal. i think mine is 5.5-6. hope to have a solid six when i get a dp back 3".

That's what i'd like to do when the funds are stable again. You only need the Gasket's, arp's and a Timing Belt right?

Poodles, what you're saying is that the lexus 550 combo is more stable as a way to gain horsepower and raise boost cut COMPARED to a SAFC with stock air/fuel parts? I'm not too informed about this lexus afm and 550 inj yet, wanted to know more. Thanks.

I had a small build-up when i cheanged out my upper IC piping. But mine wasn't flowing out or anything, just enough that i could run my finger around the inside of the pipe and get my finger wet. Checking shaft play next week when i pick up another turbo.

Awesome, doing that should be the end to that for a while *fingers still crossed though huh?* I'm thinking OEM with ARP's and 72 lbs right?!

In a final effort to solve this problem, I started to remove the parts i put on the car when it started with this problem. First one i tried, Turbonetics Raptor BOV... PROBLEM FIXED! I returned the system to the ebay XS stlye BOV that came with the piping and i'm, or should i say the...

Nice, good luck with your build. Those 240 guys have a huge weight advantage on you but you can out power them with ease.

Dude thats unfortunate, luckily your rebuilding it. If you could go back would you get an aftermarket OEM HG or just surface the block and stick with the MHG?
