I have the good ol subaru mod and the car is throwing a P2261. Does this mean bye bye turbo? I have a BNR 2871 so NO BPV so its not stuck open. Im thinking its that but i also read the lash adjusters may do this too but wasnt sure if that would throw a P2261. I dont think its the motor gonna do a compression test today or tomorrow.

What are some other possibilities?

Thanks for the help in advance.

 

what BOV do you have?

 

i have dejon charge piping with a hks bov

 

Vac leak. Do a boost leak test.

 

Ill look into that as well. It was also brought to my attention that i could have a bad coil.??

 

took the car out and drove it and it drives fine but just sounds like i subie and has a P2261 no boost leak that i can find. anyone have any ideas?

 

What is your rev limiter set at?

 

7k but i shift at 6500-6700

 

Just rock it

 

I know mine will do it if i get on it a little when it cold. I had that code and found out it was my bov leaking. But that was my problem. Vac test you bov.

 

Hmm ill check the bov but would that cause the car to sound this way? lol

 

pull the valve cover and look for a broke lash adjuster

 

and don't do that...you will likely only end up with more problems

 

wth is a subaru mod?

 

when the lnf decides to do a ej20 swap
i hope everything is ok, i want to be the only lnf around with motor trouble save you all the headaches

 

is that a better turbo? just curious

 

something is f**ked up with the ops car that is making it sound like the boxer engine found in a subaru

he is f**king with you

 

Ok so what exactly is it then

 

I forgot who it was, but there was a write up about someone's lash adjusters breaking and causing the subie mod... for me it was intermittent and only at wot or sometimes at idle... bad maf sensor.

 

a ej20 is a boxer motor
but yeah they are right usually when the lash adjusters get damaged it makes our cars sound like subbies

 

subbed to see what the prob is. good luck bud!

 

thanks guys i figured it would be the lash adjusters. well atleast thats what i think it is now theres no leaks or anything. going to the dealer in the morning whatever it is will be fixed under warranty because i used to work there so i got the hook up lol

 

I'm interested in hearing a sound clip to verify what the "subie mod" sounds like

 

my car sounded like a subi when i droped cylinder #1......just sayin

 

I've had it twice.. broken valve lash adjusters.. U can go over my posts if you like.. long story short.. Gm fixed it the first time, I think either not correctly or there was more damage than they saw and it re-occurred less than 2 months later. I'm still in the process of getting the car fixed(waiting on head gasket kit) to put a brand new ported head with cams and heavier valve springs on from ZZP.
Generally, this is caused from over-revving the engine, and 6700 would do it, especially with a NLS. I was at the stock rev limit and it went by going into the wrong gear(lower)on the highway one day. Been a headache ever since, so I'm doing it right all the way now. No more warranty for me. Most likely it'll be the exhaust side valve lash adjuster that's fried, and it's possible to have a rocker or 2 laying around in the head too. Good luck getting any Gm mechanic to actually look at it since they think you're smoking crack. Best to take off the valve cover and inspect/repair it yourself. Had nothin but troubles getting Gm mechanics to listen to anything I'd say, except one of course and I thank that man for actually doing as I requested, even though I no longer have a warranty per se. I went to half a dozen dealerships at least.... just a headsup on that. Good luck
