Make it come back stronger......

Coming back soon
This time with more monitoring tools too

That sounds like a quite a good job. I'm a fan of Subaru and since I am majoring in English language, it looks like something that I can consider in future. Now at least I have something to consider and think about. Thanks for sharing. By the way, what are you currently doing for a living?

Hi there ! The job is actually very exciting. One of the job description is to manage the "Subaru 4WD challenge" around Malaysia. There was one at One Utama last Sunday, the Subaru guys literally let a young man to drive the XV up on the slope. It was very thrilling to watch.

Now i am working as a product trainer/marketeer/business development at an IT company. Recently i've just offered to another company, now in the midst of negotiating of salary, hope it can get better.

How it died? Was it blown?

Cable tie kaokao!

Not everything cable tie can kaotim one......lol

Cable tie all the connector/socket in order to avoid something like this happens again haha

Lot of things happen at the same time
In the end the major thing was a spun bearing

ouch sakit.....

random question, spun bearing got tuk tuk tuk sound rite and pressure would be... dead?

Got things that can be tied then ok, but things cannot be tied then cannot....

Sounds really serious, but hope the pistons didn't slap on the engine head. Is the block itself still ok?

One fact i heard, people boosted their N/A engine usually end up blowing up their motor. Apparently turbo boost surge can happen. That is why until now i refused to turbocharge my 4B11 N/A eventhough Speedworks offer a turbokit. The 4B11 N/A compression ratio is kinda high for boosting. The maximum boost pressure it can tolerate is only 0.5 bar. More than that may results to blown motor and worse, blown CVT gearbox.

Pistons all ok, cylinder head all ok according to the mechanic. Just one connecting rod have to change, crankshaft can be reuse, just re-machine it back and sent for re-balancing again. Root of the problem kind of hard to diagnose, could be a combination of things but I will be monitoring closely on the oil pump. Even though it is new but it might not be able to run optimally (suspecting). I will hook up some gauges already especially the oil pressure gauge to check on it.

How much boost pressure you are running ?. From my experience and researches, if one of the cylinders are not firing properly can result to engine knocking, especially for turbocharged engine. Sometimes the problem could be as small as one spark plug.

I'd actually be interested to know the limits of the cvt. The Inspira and Sylphy share the same CVT system, the difference only being the oil they use. I'm quite tired of testing so many turbo cars and going back to my boring ol' econobox which isn't really economic since I get 8 to 10 (max) km/L FC.

Bernard finished fixing already? That was fast

Just one bar of boost at that time. But like what you said ignition could be the issue too because when I stopped the car, I found out that the connector to the Power Transistor is loose. The Power TR is the one that controls both the ignition coils in the engine. So imagine at 5000rpm on 5th gear and both ignition coils are not running properly due to the loose connector. Another finding according to the mechanic, it could also be the tensioner bearing because mine ended up faulty. So yeah a combination of things, so.....
