No problem bud [emoji106] Does depend a bit on what model you've got turbo 2000 ,wrx, sti ect (cams and turbos differ) and what mods it's got already . It should have grey 380cc injectors and phase 1 inlet with slanted tmic as standard You'd need Remappable ecu 440cc yellow injectors . Decat/ sports cat . Maybe a tmic /fmic upgrade Pannel filter /induction kit . And then a Remap it might have a tdo5 turbo as standard which are good for your target power anyways[emoji6] if not it will be a tdo4 good for sub 300hp but quicker spool .

Hi and welcome to soc fella Looks like a nice clean one so good base to start from , what model is it ? I'm not personally keen on the body kit either but I do like a oe look with just a splitter. Power wise 330hp is about right for classic standard internals , brakes and drivetrain . Expect to pay at least £3k just in parts to make a classic break the 400hp barrier . 330hp in a lightweight classic ain't no slouch anyways [emoji6]

knocking
Knocking bottom ends do tend to get louder under load and (unless caught very early) don't go away when up to temp . Have you checked it's not a pin hole/ minor blow in the exhaust system ? As my slip jointed headers tend to "tick" a bit until they're warm and expand to close the gap . What oil grade/make are you using atm ? As minor piston slap / hydraulic lifter noise can be improved by using a quality oil of the right grade (as gambit said ) But just chucking oil thats to thick will just increase wear (as ash said)

The Forester Turbo
It's a big chunk of money getting a mappable ecu and a remap but not only does it pull cleaner and faster for once you actually know it's doing it safely [emoji6] Good luck with the results rick only 6 more sleeps [emoji5]

Selling my Subaru Impreza Turbo RA Model
Nice clean unabused example so hard to put a price on it tbh as there's not many clean early wrx ra's left to compare it to . Unfortunately most get broke for the cdb engine block [emoji19] Think your price is about right but you'll probably have to hold out a while to find the right buyer after a Standard clean car . Glwts

Seeing as you disturbed the sender unit assembly recently, I'd double check the tank pump access plate rubber seal . Maybe seal it with some tape around the joins to see if the smell goes to see if that's the issue

intermittent misfire (annoying)
Mines running fine now I've fitted the spare maf I had kicking about I mentioned the plugs as they're a tight fit and if you're not careful when fitting the new ones can sometimes end up with a crack in the porcelain Yeah I've popped a ic hose off before made my !Removed! nip too [emoji4]

intermittent misfire (annoying)
Sorry fella my scoobs maf died and I forgot I posted on this thread . That's a early 3 port boost solenoid set up it looks about right to me from the first video ,although it might not be a standard vac set up if it was tweeked before the remap The sensor with the orange 'ish cap on the boost solenoid bracket measures atmospheric pressure . The other black sensor on the bracket that has a vac line on it is the map sensor (manifold actual pressure ) the vac line to this on mine goes direct to inlet manifold . Is it running a aftermarket dumpvalve and if so does it seal properly ? What bar of boost does the gauge show ? Cracked porcelain on the plugs somtimes causes similar symptoms when warm

Replaced the maff with a spare one I had and ..... IT'S ALIVE [emoji2] so I took it out for a dam good thrashing as punishment for misbehaving[emoji35] but arrived home half a tank of v power light and in love again [emoji7]

What have you done to your Subaru today ?
Tried to get it running again [emoji19] Only had 40 mins by the time I got home from work to try to suss whats up . cleaned the original maf it started on the button seemed to idle better the warmer it got happy days. 2 mile round test trip and it was coughing and spluttering and definitely misfiring again. I'll try the spare maf , check the spark and whip the plugs out to find out what cylinder is missing the next chance I get .As Unfortunately the oe code read doesn't work on the apexi fc set up

Check the fuel pipes haven't got a nick in them where the jubilee clip sits (especially the return to tank and vapour line)

What have you done to your Subaru today ?
Green label early impreza maf's are known to max out sub 370 hp (can't meter enough air flow) z32 or Q4 is the usual upgrade . I think v3 onwards they fitted bigger mafs and newage are bigger still . Fingers crossed it's the maf [emoji51] Cos otherwise it's probably electrical and I ain't no sparky , just a spanner monkey [emoji87]

What have you done to your Subaru today ?
Na no more dents but I probably wouldn't have parked on tall wet grass if I didn't get that dent a couple of weeks ago . Just checked all the basics there and then but killed the battery trying things out. I've got a spare maf in the shed and the bateries on charge now .I just wasn't going to leave her 5 mls from home overnight and shes a bit low for my mates car transporters ramps [emoji51]

What have you done to your Subaru today ?
Nearly ripped my splitter off putting my scoob on the back of my mates recovery truck today [emoji19] Drove my kids to their football game parked on the grass away from everyone so I didn't get anymore car park dents . 1.5 hrs later started it up to find it wouldn't idle and misfiring[emoji15] if you feather the throttle and kept it running, it was kicking out black plumes of shells finest and the pops n bangs were spooling the turbo like antilag wtf . Think it's been caused by the steam of the wrapped headers and grass combo [emoji55] It does get a bit like a swedish sauna under the bonnet if it's been raining so iv'e probably killed the maf [emoji53] Might tell the mrs that we need a z32 maf conversion/replacement asap [emoji39]

intermittent misfire (annoying)
If it's got a esl'd ecu did you get any paperwork saying who mapped it ? As it might be unmapped and overfuelling or on the wrong map (if it has 2 maps) Does your engine check light come on when you turn the ignition on ,is it working? The 93 jdm wrx didn't have abs or a airbag , my 94 sti hasn't . The buttons on the defis will probably be a peak hold and reset function . Show me a pic of the vacuum lines from the boost solenoid and I might be able to see if it's plumbed in right [emoji6]

I did the bribery thing with the engine build and 6 speed ...... It ended up costing me £5 k for her new norks (@@) [emoji39] Think I'll just keep poking £40 per week into the scooby modding pot while she's not looking [emoji4]

What have you done to your Subaru today ?
If you asked my wife I'm sure she'd find a long list of things I don't do . And I can't seem to be able to persuade the wife to release the funds for a 400hp+ turbo and a z32 maf conversion [emoji4] But I'm working on it [emoji6]
