Neil Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Hello new to the forum and subaru so thought I'd start by saying hi to everyone. It was a bit of an impulse buy and I'm now learning how a flat 4 is dismantled but is all good fun :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gambit Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Hi mate welcome to S.O.C Well we have some members with some amazing knowledge so pretty sure you will have advice needed if you're doing a rebuild Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted October 19, 2016 Author Share Posted October 19, 2016 It's had some work done before I got it so I thought it would be a safe bet. Head gaskets, water pump, timing belt kit, new turbo, fmic, fuel reg lightened flywheel it starts and runs and boosts but breaths a bit I wasn't happy with it so called in at Sheffield for a power run to find out turbo control not piped up so that's sorted and it's run 230 ish I think it made so I did a compression test and found out why it was breathing. To bring a long story to an end I was running a 3 cylinder imperza... oops time for rebuild 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Posted October 19, 2016 Author Share Posted October 19, 2016 Was going to drop a second hand engine in as a quick fix so bought an engine gear box and wiring loom that someone had for beatle conversion but on more reading it think it's a phase 1.5 and mines a phase 2 so it parked up for a few months with no engine but I may have some parts for sale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piggysniffer Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 hmmm, beetle conversion he says, wonder if it'll fit a t2 camper..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
