Plus, this one gets him more pull with the fellers.

 

Wasn't it leaking cause he drilled a hole in it?

 

intake tester adapter will be here tomorrow. Let's see what's leaking. It's probably my intake manifold :/

 

$2 bucks at Lowes and 5 minutes with a drill and you coulda made one.

It's either your intake manifold or one of the hundred injectors/bungs/misters you have plumbed in.

 

No, I already have the cap-- I just needed a 4" - 2.5" coupler.

 

I say you just gotta run more boost to overcome the leak...simple.

 

You don't need a fancy tool for that, just grab a can of brake clean or starting fluid and spray all suspected areas one at a time. When idle increases you have found a leak. Total cost $4. Ooops forgot who I was talking too, you will need a case since more is always better.

 

Here is the coupler you need.

 

have you seen what happens when he takes power tools to his car?

 

A big hole forms in the fender?

 

ftfy

 

yah no shi thas whar i got it from nugga

got it today. stay tuned for intake leak testing glory

 

It is the fate of all men to leak as they age ... show us your leak Min

 

OK i found two boost leaks.

the first was the BOV signal line was leaking at the manifold. I use the big ol' PVC fitting on the intake manifold. I will be replacing that with an AN line sometime soon. No, an AN line for your BOV is not overkill. If the line goes, at 40psi it can make compressor wheel unhappy.

the second was this.



Unfortunately, as you can see, the seal is all fuggered up. My other seals don't look so great either so I will have to replace them too. This is the second time I've had to do this recently. Any ideas about why my seals are tearing? I am using the standard mazda fuel rail spacers and mazda fuel injector seals. I do torque the rail down a decent amount, but I am not hemanning em.

 

Are you using lube to install them?

 

Well, looking at my fsm, it looks like max torque spec is 95.8 in/lbs, minimum is 69 in/lb (6-8.9 nm)

I'd be willing to bet your overtorquing the seals thus, rendering them next to useless

 

For the frame rail bolts?

And yes, i lube up the seals with a little bit of oil.

 

That spec was the fuel rail bolts

 

I'm sure that's what he meant.

I can't tell exactly - is it leaking from the o-rings in the fuel rail? Or from where the injector sits on the spacer thingy in the cylinder head.

If the latter, then I would second over-torquing as the culprit. 98in-lbs is not much. And make sure to tighten it down in increments up and down the rail blah blah blah.

 

stop installing your injectors with a forklift
