savage bulldogs Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Yeah Duncan did it on the road and I had it dyno'd 6 months afterwards
Scoobyghost Posted March 20, 2015 Author Posted March 20, 2015 Good stuff. That's what I'm looking at then. Thank you. I'm guessing once my decat is on I'll swiftly be going deaf?
savage bulldogs Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 My brvs old system was a 3" decat turbo back and sounded fine but mine sounds just plain dirty at full chat 1
Scoobyghost Posted March 20, 2015 Author Posted March 20, 2015 I should be on then. Still need the car as a daily [emoji1]
Scoobyghost Posted March 21, 2015 Author Posted March 21, 2015 More goodies today! Just gotta wait for the pump cover gasket now. 1
ChrisValentine Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Looking good :)Both started our "projects" at the same time, will be interesting to see which routes we end up taking! 1
Scoobyghost Posted March 25, 2015 Author Posted March 25, 2015 Cheers Chris. It'll be nice to see how they both end up. I've just been trying to sort an exhaust blow. No joy. Fitted new gasket but the old downpipe is bent on the flange so doesn't sit flat. Its in on the 11th april for the decat to be fitted so it's a case of putty until then. I really don't like temp fixes.
Scoobyghost Posted March 29, 2015 Author Posted March 29, 2015 Video was made as an example of zorst note. Gonna add it here too. http://youtu.be/ZpikgO7YM7I
Scoobyghost Posted April 3, 2015 Author Posted April 3, 2015 Roger Clarke fuel pump fitted today. Nice and easy job really. Ran into one issue; my old pump had a blue and black wire running from the pumps feed which went to a black box/relay. Made a phone call to my mechanic and he suggested it may be a pressure regulator. Regardless I went on to use the old wiring instead of the new plug rcm supplied. All back together and turn of the key...fired up perfectly. Not to suggest the pump would be faulty but more my clumsy sausage fingers breaking something. Let her warm up and went for a spirited drive up the dual carriageway and she runs beautifully. Now just a tense wait for 11th when the decat goes on and the 16th with Duncan!
Scoobyghost Posted April 11, 2015 Author Posted April 11, 2015 Decat downpipe fitted today. Went reasonably well. Had a couple seized nuts but they soon let go. The throttle response is crazy now and the sound is beautiful. The turbo is really distinct now. I'm so hyped up for Thursday and the remap now I'm basically wetting myself. Video to follow. 1
ChrisValentine Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 Tempted by decat too... Or sports cat. Remapped too. BUT, I kinda want to save money and save for a Subaru Type R.............
Scoobyghost Posted April 11, 2015 Author Posted April 11, 2015 Decisions are tough. You can either throw your money into yours now or save that for the types r. Tough times mate.
stants Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 Sounding good fella ! I wsd like you until the morning of the map then I was slightly pooping myself and crossing everything that it wouldn't blow up. Have you got the silicone y pipe yet ?
Scoobyghost Posted April 11, 2015 Author Posted April 11, 2015 No not yet. Still looking for the right one. Got any links or good suggestions?
stants Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 What's yours a v5, 1999 ? I ended up buying savages sti cooler with pipework included, as got fed up waiting for one to get made for the foz, was cheaper in the end. Think scoobyworld and the likes usually carry them in stock, or try viper performance as they are loads chaeper than everyone else as they make massive batches up at once
Scoobyghost Posted April 11, 2015 Author Posted April 11, 2015 2000 UK model. Ets never got back to me again after I asked them to make me a pod and I asked how I can pay [emoji20]
stants Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 Boo I know it's only 1 chap in a shed pretty much. You just click on the pay pal link on the side and put in notes what you want making. You looking for something else instead ?
Scoobyghost Posted April 11, 2015 Author Posted April 11, 2015 No haven't looked anywhere sale for a pod. I contacted him again but still no reply since that first contact. Just worried about paying and not getting anything.
stants Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 Yeah know what you mean supposd your guaranteed by pp if nothing shows. I emailed a couple of times, sent payment, about a week later I had a parcel arrive 1st class
Scoobyghost Posted April 11, 2015 Author Posted April 11, 2015 Coils on the left of manifold as you look at it ? Coils to the right
stants Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 Sorry mate I'm tripping out that's what I ment ! On loads of painkillers haha
Scoobyghost Posted April 11, 2015 Author Posted April 11, 2015 No problem. I might look at changing the intercooler at some point to for both cosmetic and performance reasons. Any recommendations? Also will it need to be mapped in?
stants Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 Mine was a direct swap v3 normal to v3 sti so no mods or map required like I say only changed it for the y pipe as they couldn't be arsed making me one. Spools up so much quicker now Theres a thread in the engine section about i/c info it's a good read regarding effectiveness, New age ones will fit with bracket modifications and I suspect they'll need mapping due to increasing volume of air.
