WATER PUMP QUESTIONS

CAV3MAN227 · Post by **CAV3MAN227** » Sun Dec 27, 2009 1:25 am

I'm new here and i just purchased a 92 t-leg and im doing the water pump on it. It has the ej22 motor with the vf11 turbo. I got as far as getting the center crank pulley off and the 3 timing covers. i know i have to take the timing belt off so what is my next step? i believe its the tensioner but where do i start? any help or links to how to's is appreciated! thanx! (passenger side line up looks like it might be off by a tooth but the car runs fine)

passenger side

driver side

center crank

Take off that pulley to the right of the crank sprocket. Remove belt. Remove tensioner. Remove pump. Put on new pump. compress tensioner slowly, put a pin in it, and reinstall. put belt on. Buy a manual with the money you saved doing this yourself :p

I've gotten to the point of putting the timing belt back on but the cam gears don't want to match up with the crank sprocket. Need help please!

What do you mean match up? If the marks on the belt match the marks on the sprocket and cams then you are good. Make sure the belt isnt flipped though.

the marks on the cam gear aren't lining up with the marks on the plastic cover behind the cam gears is what im saying!

ok, those don't matter as much as getting the marks on the belt and pulleys correct. The distance from the passenger side pulley mark to the crank mark needs to be 44 teeth. And from crank to driver pulley mark, 40.5 teeth. The plastic timing cover marks are just there to help installation.

well i'm new to this car and site can u send me a link or should i just click on ur name and look through ur posts? the car is only running 5lbs of boost and i want to get it to at least 12lbs

I don't know if I had posts about the apexi, but search my history to be sure.

Are you on stock turbo and stuff?

I would set the boost to .7 to start to make sure you don't hit fuel cut, which feels like shit.

ok i will look. i'm reading the manual right now. the car is pretty much stock. 255 FP, UDP, vf11 turbo, waic. greddy turbo timer.

biggreen96 · Post by **biggreen96** » Tue Dec 29, 2009 9:57 am

I have mine set up very simple. No learn gear, same boost in each gear, no start duty. But I have a vf39 at 1 bar. I remember when I had my vf11 still on I tapered the boost down before redline, I only ran about 12psi, or whatever I found was just below fuelcut at my elevation.

do u think it would be a good idea to reset all the values and start fresh on the avcr? (i really have to learn how to use this thing or find someone who does lol)

biggreen96 · Post by **biggreen96** » Tue Dec 29, 2009 10:03 am

Yeah, and restart simple. Then add all the cool shit once you have basics down. Helped me a lot doing it that way.

CAV3MAN227 · Post by **CAV3MAN227** » Tue Dec 29, 2009 10:07 am

so resetting all the values and stuff will not mess up anything? like as if u just got done hooking it all up and u turn ur car on for the first time, the car should run correct? (sorry for all the Q's, this is all new to me)

biggreen96 · Post by **biggreen96** » Tue Dec 29, 2009 10:11 am

If you reset, it resets all the sensor setting too I believe. So before you reset make a note of the sensor types and stuff in the "etc" menu. But yeah it will start up and run just fine.

dude but you should make sure everything is working good before you push 12 psi man just saying

CAV3MAN227 · Post by **CAV3MAN227** » Thu Dec 31, 2009 3:33 am

car runs good now on low boost, 7-8lbs, but on high boost, 14lbs, it tends to spike.
