I'd say back to standard ,as i think most people like to buy a standard 'ish scoob and put their own stamp on it . Also if you do buy another classic later in the year , you'll have a shed load of bits to kick start the modding [emoji6] Whichever route you take I'm sure you won't be able to resist getting another scoob for long [emoji4] If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊

ECU Swap
savage bulldogs replied to Jammy Johnny's topic in Subaru Engines, Exhausts and modifications
The light grey injector plugs on each bank go to the front (cylinders 1 & 2) . The dark grey plugs go to the rear (cylinders 3 & 4 ) . I can only find 1 pic of my v3 uk engine showing the passenger side and it only shows cylinder ,which has a light grey plug with yellow n green wires . Are the ht leads plugged in the right order ?

The mishimoto compact baffled catch can turned up today looks like a good bit of kit It's certainly compact so I don't think I'll be stuck for places to mount it [emoji41] If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊 -
Phil I'm in Ipswich ,fella [emoji6] Kayzar If I do move house it will definitely be to a place with enough land to build a big workshop [emoji41] might eventually set up savage scoobies but plastering pays the bills best atm so i would only be a part time tuner at best [emoji57] If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊

I did think about starting up a garage again but I dunno if I'd enjoy modding so much if I did it every day. I much prefer making something rather than fitting stuff outta a boxes anyways [emoji6] . Helping with s keyboard is no trouble and I don't even have to get my hands dirty [emoji41] . Stants I haven't forgotten about the peddles, they're off my scoob and soon as the Mrs gives in to a show date I'll hand em over [emoji4] Gary your a genuine fella and im glad to help but I'm starting to worry for my rabbit's safety [emoji87] [emoji23] . Only joking bud , I appreciate your appreciation mate [emoji106] If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊

ECU Swap
savage bulldogs replied to Jammy Johnny's topic in Subaru Engines, Exhausts and modifications
Have you checked to see if it has got a esl daughter board? If not unplug the ecu and whip the casing off . It should look like this If the ecu hasn't got a esl board, do a ecu self code check, to see if there's any fault codes stored and reset the ecu .There's a "sticky thread " in the how 2 section [emoji6] What colour are the injectors? As they should be grey 380 cc ones . If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊 -

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 😊 -
I think they want to know the distance between the centres of the 2 holes at the bottom of the struts. But They should be able to tell if they fit by the model and year of your car tbh If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊

You're welcome mate , I'm always happy to help .It's just a bit unfortunate there's not that many local members on here . Your face was a picture when I gave it some beans on the slip lane and left that tailgating mazda for dust 😅 That was the first time I've been pulled over in nearly 5 yrs of scooby ownership . Shame I got pulled over just for driving a shiny scooby @ 65mph in a 70 mind you they were checking for undisclaimed mods not mot failures. All my mods are all listed with my insurance so no worries there 😉.they did find a brake light fault and was quick to write a ticket 😶 i replaced a blown fuse and we were off again within 10 mins 😎 .unlike The 330 beemer and the 2 lotus exiges seemed to be in trouble 😆.

a few pics of my project so far
savage bulldogs replied to savage bulldogs's topic in Subaru Build Threads
I probably just set it up vta again rather than putting air into the inlet that hasn't been measured by the maf . my pcv valve is in a box somewhere and my custom inlet manifold hasn't got any take offs to refit one anyways . I hoping to find the time to at least start fabricating the spacers for the parallel fuel rails in the next couple of weeks. As I'd like to get the map tweeked cos it's stalled twice when warm . I do think that's due to me shortening the fmic pipework and the bigger turbo core causing a lot more "flutter" when backing off the throttle. If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊 -
I wasn't sure as I've never owned anything newer than a v3 and the v5/v6 run the similar software that's found on the newage ecu's (both can be mapped with ecutek) If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊

The early classics have a "self code check" function , I'm not sure if the later v5 onwards classics have the same function (as the ecu's are different ) But there's a "sticky" thread on here somewhere that shows you how 2 self read codes [emoji6] Couldn't remember where but Strangely enough it's in the how 2 section lol .

Took a punt on a compact baffled catch can Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/331537851199 Hopefully once I relocate it to the front it will lessen the oily smell in the cabin. If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊 -
The remap would probably correct the fuelling to get it to pass the mot and replacing the (possibly failing ) cat for a sports cat would rule out the cat as the cause .It would also flow better to get more gains from the remap. Mine passes the co2 emissions without a cat as it's mapped correctly off boost . Simon from jgm used to map a lot at "Surrey rolling road" I'm not sure how close they are to you but I'd imagine they've got a bit of experience with scoobs and might be able to point you in the right direction.

Main stealer service history is expensive but normally about a thorough as you'd get imo . As things like, pollen filters,clutch fluid, diff oils and grease points are normally refreshed. Which get over looked at some smaller garages . As for mileage my 94 sti has 86k mls but most of it's new (by choice) lol . The chairman of scooby city has owned his 97 UK turbo since almost new. its been serviced by rcm most of its life ,runs a safe 320hp and has over 200k mls on the original engine .[emoji41] If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊

If i do get a baffled can I'm hoping the baffle will help to lessen the oil in the vapour . I'll be going for a can with a sponge filter on the outlet as well .Then venting it through a pipe near the bottom of the rad 😉 If it's still stinky I might add a inline filter in the vent pipe .

been quite busy lately and haven't had the time to fabricate some spacers to make the fuel rails fit and won't bother to fit the z32 maf until the rails are sorted ,as I'll have to get attowe to rescaled the airflow for the bigger maf . He did kindly set up a afr warning so I've been gradually adding a slightly higher boost targets with the avcr . It was running 1.58 bar with the tdo5 16g ,so I know the fuelling is set for more boost. I upped it in 0.1 bar stages over a period of time (monitoring knock ,air flow,temps ect) and it's now running 1 bar 😎 I have treated it to a clay , Machine polish and a couple of coats of colinite but the only thing I've fitted is a sti 3 bar coolant cap🙄 Even that felt a bit strange now that "liz" (my english bulldog ) is no longer under my feet 😔😇 ( rip little helper ) I do miss liz helping and watching, so I'll have to get the kids to come out and kick all my spanners and socket sets over instead 😊 Currently thinking about getting a baffled oil catch can too .the ebay special does work but needs relocating as it vents to atmosphere and you occasionally smell it in the cabin .so hopefully relocating a baffled can to the front will help 😉
