That's the RobiSpec Rad/Oil cooling setup on Sportsguy83's car.

In all fairness your engine bay looks quite different now though.

Well kit is almost done being installed now! Just waiting on the always delaying UPS

So after a long arduous process and winter, I finally took my car out for a rip today. There's still a bit of snow on the ground, but the roads are dry for the most part and it's above zero. I took it fairly easy since there's a winters worth of moisture in the gas tank and 6 month old 91 octane fuel, but I was really surprised to see 7psi on my boost gauge. Is this normal? I'm assuming it's the actuator rod adjustment. I'm actually totally ok with it running 7psi, I just need to get my map updated by Bill @DeliciousTuning

Either way, the car pulls like a beast even though I didn't wind it out. Can't wait to get my tune dialed

SkAsphalt · 04-10-2014, 01:02 AM

My god...that boost. I know I am not running more than 6-7 PSI but....wow. This just feels GREAT haha!

Slight leak in the line that feeds the turbo from the motor, the line has a "sweat" of a leak from where the line is crimped (so between the crimping and the fixed bolt that is threaded onto the crimped end) So it could not be fixed with teflon or anything else. Looks like I will be getting a custom line made locally to fix this issue

protpibe · 04-10-2014, 01:11 AM

Actually mine has been seeping oil from there too. I thought it was the Crush washer.

Before that I thought it was the oil pump leaking but after i redid it once, i checked the line under the fuel injector cover and there was oil around it. Unfortunately, it looked to pool up a bit on top of the head and then drip down by the oil pump onto the exhaust overpipe. The burning oil caused the ceramic coating to chip/flake off of my AVO overpipe and a chunk of it is bare stainless steel now.

Anyways, I re-used the brass crush washer but made sure to teflon tape the bottom part of the threads on the fitting into the block. I'll let you know if it solves the issue, if not, mine may be the line as well. I also torqued that bastard down pretty tight. I would of used a new crush washer, but the fitting was way smaller than I expected and didn't have a new one.

When I installed mine my "passenger air bag off" light came on... Is anybody having the same issue?

You mean the light that comes on when no one is sitting in the passenger seat ?

How much oil are you suppose to put in your car now with the turbo?

You won't need to add that much. I would guess 1/4 of a liter, but keep an eye on your dipstick to add as needed

So about a little over 6qts?
Because I was told that the scion frs requires about 5.7 qts
