I'm thinking of buying the cable to attach to mine to get the data off so I can learn how it runs.
October 31, 20178 yr I can tune old school with carb and distributor , so thought id try to learn how to efi tune as well .Ive read a fair bit on the net and bought a few books over the past year but i won't "tweeking" anything for a while , just logging info and comparing data at different loads / throttle positions. It seems to be keeping me occupied and my idle hands outta the "spray the scooby fund " [emoji849]Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

When i have some spare cash im buying the lead for my esl so I can do the same, or at least help find the problem before I have to go get mapped again. Its a bit of a pig to start. (not going on an I hate the mapper rant, the rest of it seems to be fine.) And I wouldn't mind knowing what the cause of the problem is before i go driving off if its not a mapping problem. Anyway, today I bought a v2 sti steering rack with roll centre track rod ends (whatever they are lol). That will replace my leaky wrx steering rack and I will replace the bushes and few other bits at the same time.
November 3, 20178 yr Thanks to advice from the mapper i have found the problem starting and in low gear at low revs to be a leaking injector seal. When starting the car at work earlier i smelt fuel whilst it was trying to turn over which confirmed the problem. Problem is I put new seals on when fitting the injectors which where sonically cleaned and flow tested before fitting.
November 5, 20178 yr got a few jobs done front mount intercooler fitted now got fully de cat system and new shoes nice set of inovite cts 18 in alloys think it needs going down about 40mm next
November 6, 20178 yr Finally gave the scooby a wee bit of tlc. Poor sole has been sat on a driveway for the past 6 weeks. Guilty as charged ma Lord for neglect and dereliction of duty 😂😂. So charged battery fully up and once charged she started on the button oh how I've missed that sound. Got all the tyre pressures up to their prescribed levels and took her round the block to free the brakes up. Then threw a bucket of water over her well a little bit more than merely throwing a bucket over her. All kinds of crud had to come off. Just waiting for my very omissions friendly mot'er to give me a day to get her in. Still never found the time to fit my arb's front n rear or the lateral and trailing arms yet. Looks like that's now gonna be done in the cold months once I finish sorting the !Removed! garden out 😡😡😡.
November 6, 20178 yr I appear to have sorted my injector problem out, took them out one by one and checked them out, all looked perfect. New seals that i put on a few weeks ago looked fine. I used a bit of red teflon grease to seat the seals and made sure i didnt put too much on that would interfere with the fuel and she started perfectly. I took her for a run around the block at low revs, sub 1500 in first and second and no kangarooing! Tomorrow will be the acid test, will it mess up overnight. I also fitted phillips h4 racing vision plus 150% bulbs so i can finally see at night in oncoming traffic
November 10, 20178 yr Scooby finally went in today and came back with a clean bill of health for another 12 months 👍👍👍😍😍

November 11, 20178 yr Occasional Intermittent misfire was starting to get on my nerves[emoji848] .So i decided to check over the newage coilpack conversion "pigtails" i did find 1dry soldered joint and hoped that would resolve the fault for good . Which i re did but when refitting the right bank i niticed a crack in the engine loom "coilpack spur" [emoji53]Guess I'll be spending my sunday removing the engine loom and practicing my soldering again [emoji849]Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

November 12, 20178 yr Need to have a look at why it's feeling 'floaty' and then make the decision as to weather it stays or notLoud pipes save lives
November 12, 20178 yr Tracking maybe if it's the steering. I know I once took a car to have the tracking done and some how they sent it out miles to the point was like I wasn't even driving the car [emoji17]Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
November 12, 20178 yr Nice turnout still for the time if the year. [emoji4]Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
November 12, 20178 yr Should I be looking at getting tracking/wheel alignment done after putting on lowering springs? What Prices am I looking at? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
November 12, 20178 yr Always worth doing mate about 35 quid I used to get mine done so 35 to 50 quid I'd say was around the right price. [emoji4]Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

November 13, 20178 yr Fitted new boots, Michelin Crossclimate+. Went from 245/40 to 235/45. They fill the arches... totally. 😁 And she's in for laser alignment, service and 1st mot on Thursday. I'm not nervous, honest. 😐
