Get with Brian (tuned200), and or Mike (FXTSPORTS08) they both know a thing or two about all this.

 

I am not sure about yours specifically, so far I have done the mod on mine (an 08) and helped Tuned200 with his (an 07). Look through Tuned200's journal and then go look at your car to see if the parts you have are the same.

 

Well I knew you helped Brian with his, thought maybe you could shed some light here too. It was worth a shot.

There isn't much info in tuned's journal about the pressure sensor really, I am sure if you ask him, he can tell you what he had to do. But like FXT said since they are different years they may not be the same.

 

Maybe try looking up part numbers for the system on http://opposedforces.com/ that should let you figure out if they are the same.

As for the air pressure sensor, there is one in the valve body on the 07 and 08's for sure. You can either just leave the whole body zip tied up in your engine compartment or you can cut the sensor out of the valve body and zip tie that in place.

Maybe Tuned can get us a shot of what he did.

 

A day or two late here!

I attempted to cut the valve apart and decided to stop. With the valve not plugged back in the car would not boost above 10 psi. With the valve plugged back in it would hit full boost! So its zip tied in the back of the engine bay!

 

Looks like it's possible the same part# from opposedforces.com

 

Whats the number?

#5 right?

 

#7 and #12 look like what Mike machined for me to block off my air pump.

#6 look like the atmosphere pressure sensor.

 

06 WRX Air Pump Removal - is it safe?? - Page 11 - NASIOC

Post 275 shows the pressure sensor. The valve is the same as on my Xt.

Would the removal process be the same as the wrx, including taking out the uppipe?

 

I hear from my local subaru mechanic that you can actually get the valves off without pulling the manifold. I can not confirm nor deny this as I pulled my manifold.

 

On my XT one valve was stuck shut and the other was working. I just pulled the fuses so they both stayed shut and left them in place.

Max,

where are the fuses? will the CEL light still be on?

thanks.

It's the 10amp fuse in the small fuse box. Post 23 here http://www.subaruforester.org/vbull...r.org/vbulletin/f75/secondary-air-injection-ultimate-solution-94534/index3.html

Sadly you will still get a CEL, you have to also delete the error codes in the ecu.

Has anybody tried to install the block off plate on the passenger side of a 2007 FXT. I can't see where the pipe goes. Do I have to take apart half the engine compartment to get at it?

Thanks

 

Any tips on preventing this secondary air valves problem..?
I'm spraying WD40 down the airpipe hopefully to the valves ,monthly.
Would turning on the ignition often, when cold , move the valves and keep them free?

 

Did that, but at shorter intervals (every 2 weeks) and it still seized. It only delay the process, but it will happen eventually.

 

I'm contemplating on swapping out the turbo. With the turbo out, would it be easier to remove the stuff on the passenger side?

 

Yes! Mine was done this way. No need to take out intake manifold.

 

Alrighty Gents, it's been a few years here but I'm going to bump this back up for info.

I just grabbed an '07 FXT and it's already throwing me that damn code for a failed air injection valve. The plan is to just remove the system entirely and tune out any CEL's associated with it (can it be done via OpenSource or Cobb?).

The question remains about that darn barometric pressure sensor. Can I just gut and remove the entire system and be done with it OR do I have to locate the sensor and leave it plugged in while removing the rest of the system? FWIW, I planned on using the KSTech delete kit.

Thanks for the help!

you want to keep the sensor. I had the stuff deleted, but just kept the valve mounted even though the ports do not connect to anything.

 

Details in my thread here. If the valves will shut you don't need blanking plates.

Thanks! I'll read into it.

 

Sorry for the thread bump, but if my valves are stuck open; can I pull he fuses and they'll shut or what? Just got these codes tonight and am pretty worried about it.

 

Stuck open is a mechanical issue, pulling the fuse wont help. Either do a delete & ECU update to disable the CEL, or replace them. I would think it's not too hard to find a used working set for cheap.

 

Sorry I'm getting back to his a little late. Thanks fellas. I've been researching my butt off trying to figure out the best route. I bought the two plates to delete the whole system. Once I delete the system and have the codes turned off, do I need to pull the fuses? If so which ones?
