savage bulldogs Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 I'm glad it's running ok ,cos it seemed a bit like a man sized jigsaw when you first asked a few questions on here lol . Limited milage might bring the insurance down a bit but it's normally hell'va steep the first year for anyone and tends to go down once you prove that you're not going to take out a bin in maccy d's car park doing 4 wheel drifts [emoji23] If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoobyghost Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Those silly clamps? I don't know the name but they end up cutting into the pipe. My top rad hose blew and when I tried to undo that clamp it snapped. Had to pinch some wire nips from work to cut it off. Managed to do it with all other parts in place. Was a right fiddle though.

Scooby Pete Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 They are called Jubilee clips, cheap ones tend to come loose or just get knackered, better quality one use bolts rather than screws. The bolt type ones are much better and less likely to come loose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobyghost Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 I was referring these clamps being the silly ones. Jubilee clips are far superior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must've been a desperate cost cutting and weight reduction option for Subaru to go for those original clamps. Horrible things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayzarh Posted June 12, 2016 Author Share Posted June 12, 2016 @savage bulldogs Okay, so new problem is randomly starting to occur. first start of the day, the car wont start until a few cranks, there is a flashing cel (which i hear is bad news) :/ however once i start it and switch it off it all gets better. The jittery idle issue is back, also when i blip the throttle you can almost feel the pressure going through the exhaust in the car, is that normal? i cleaned the maf again with electrical contact cleaner, but this pipercross air filter (the one that came with the car) is releasing some purple stuff which seems to clog the mesh filter on the maf, is that normal or do i need to change it asap.

savage bulldogs Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 You shouldn't get any residue from a air filter (it's supposed to filter particles not create em ) .maybe try giving it a clean with some electrical contact cleaner ,wait for it to dry and then refit it . The filter could be causing all the symptoms . If it's clogged it could be restricting airflow enough to affect the mixture. Which in turn might cause the starting, idle and holding back symptoms. If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kayzarh Posted June 14, 2016 Author Share Posted June 14, 2016 so i decided i made a retarded move to order a second hand pipercross kit, so i went and reinstalled the stock airbox back just now and ordered a kn panel filter from eurocarparts which i will pick up at 3pm today, i also gave the maf another good clean with some electrical contact cleaner. however my airbox is missing 2 of these clamps: anyone know where i can get some or can someone sell me some ?

Drill 2 small holes and whip a cable tie thro! no place to drill hole as its such a tight fit!!! i cable tied two massive one and then strapped the airbox in, i really need to source some of them clamps :/. good news is, the car has never started so easy before there is still minor fluctuation in revs +/- 50rpm im pretty sure that will clear when the ecu learns (i disconnected the Battery for 30mins or so before starting) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayzarh Posted June 18, 2016 Author Share Posted June 18, 2016 @savage bulldogs could i have a weak fuel pump? ive changed my fuel filter and ive gone back to stock airbox aswell as clean the maf, the first start of the day, it takes EXACTLY three cranks to start the car, also could the minor fluctations be due to a weak fuel pump. Can i swap out a walboro 255lph without a remap and with factory fuel lines? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 yes you can change the pump out the ECU would still control fuel flow according to demand, pressure etc It is recommended replacing a fuel pump any time after 5 years old but most will just wait until it fails completely before replacement so may be something that will benefit your car anyway 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
