Ash3000k Posted June 11, 2015 Author Posted June 11, 2015 Im running td05, not much life left in it though, decat, tmic, standard weak **** injectors, 380 greys on v2, remapped via z4-esl board to 262bhp, id recommend all the above mods, and then if youre looking for more power try a td05 or a decent vf or newer equivalent then just get map updated, just keep on top of that bottom end Thanks! + can you expand on " just keep on top of that bottom end" as I'm new to scoobs! haha
Scoobyghost Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 Likely referring to the bottom end bearings. Quite a common cause of engine failure. Keep on top of it with frequent oil checks and keeping to a regular service program. A lot of us service twice as often as the guide suggests. I do oil every 3500 miles.
R0llamite Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 as above most subarus have a bottom end failure at some point I imagine, if youre going to put more power through it be sure to get it serviced regularly i go every 4k or less, just dont be a chav and thrash it and put some fresh oil through it, many use millars or castrol and it will see you well for a long time, i know a guy with a standard bug has had it 7 years only ever replaced a power steering pump, serviced regularly and he still does 130 on track day, look after it is basically what im getting at dont expect big power and performance from a neglected engine! 2
Ash3000k Posted June 11, 2015 Author Posted June 11, 2015 Ok cool, seems to have been looked after as has full Subaru service history, last one 5k miles ago, Will change her oils when I next get chance
