I'm thinking of buying the cable to attach to mine to get the data off so I can learn how it runs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martian Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fastboy67 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 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 😡😡😡. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martian Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savage bulldogs Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gambit Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Tracking maybe if it's the steering.

AndyXV Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixyflash Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 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. 😐 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
