classic mica Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Love the car . Its my dream car the colour the dccd widetrack. I keep telling my wife and kids that's my next car when can afford not just yet with bills mortgage. But defo going to get one. Talking about the corolla this will be a lot different to the t sport. My brother ran a corolla t sport for a few years he was also on the corolla club it was stock in grey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven252 Posted September 2, 2016 Author Share Posted September 2, 2016 Hed have probably known my old one, was the most known compressor on the forum due to the spec/power of it The rear deffuser and bumper teims really sort the rear end out! Built up a swirl pot for the boot out of some aluminium. Has stopped the famous subaru fuel surge these cars suffer with Its all built up with AN teflon braided hose and fittings to stop the nasty fuel smell getting into the car. I am also running the pump on a OEM subaru fuel pump controller to keep the noise of it down. Springs turned up, they are 9kg fronts and 7kgs rear with solid rear top mounts. Probably will be a little firm on the road than the current 5kgF/4kgR but there is far to much body roll on them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tidgy Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Is it still running the standard turbo? shouldn't be getting fuel surge till way further up the power level Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfnick Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Wonder if he meant the fuel cut not surge. My old one would cut out if it had less then a quarter fuel in and you took a corner too fast. Heard that's quite common too, this would sort that too would it not? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven252 Posted October 29, 2016 Author Share Posted October 29, 2016 Yup, i was experiencing fuel surge then cut every time i took a fast right hand corner/powered out of one, with anything less than 1/2 a tank. Dont experience any of that now Springs were fitted and ive since picked up a little bit of understeer so ive messed about with the geo settings and antiroll bars front and rear to dial it out. Cars loads better now it doesnt have excessive body roll like it did before Its still on the stock turbo yes, was running 344bhp and 328ft on normal pump 99 fuel, but ive since adjusted the map for a 20% meth mix. It goes noticeably better now Thanks for all the positive comments, i havent really used the car a lot recently. Need to get using it more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Strange, even at 400 mine didnt after the filter was sorted. although was a hawk to be fair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Nice progress and it looks sweet too [emoji106] I'll probably fit a under bonnet swirl pot eventually to rid my classic of fuel starvation . It's a common problem on all the imprezas , As the petrol tank has a " hump" in it to give clearance for the propshaft under it . This effectively splits the tank into half (when low on fuel ) and the fuel pump pick up right side gets "starved" of fuel when cornering hard to the right the fuel goes too the left . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven252 Posted October 30, 2016 Author Share Posted October 30, 2016 5 hours ago, Tidgy said: Strange, even at 400 mine didnt after the filter was sorted. although was a hawk to be fair Same tank on the v7-9. The garages track car had the same issue so i built one for that too. Sticky tyres and coilovers is all you need to cause the problem. As said above its because of the shape of the tank and the pump being on the right side. Means all the petrol moves to the left on hard right hand turns away from the pump. All imprezas suffer this problem and a swirl pot and external pump is the only way to cure it 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
