Didn't know the pipes were crank case breathers as I've only seen a boxer na bay once (in the flesh) So yep don't completely block them off as the need to breathe, but don't let them suck in debris or moisture either . If your still gonna run the induction kit and can't fit the breather /pcv system back to oe , get a vta catch can plumbed in asap

always good to welcome another seasoned scooby owner to s.o.c [emoji106] Don't forget to post up some pics [emoji6]

No idea what hubs they'd use on wrc cars but the newage sti r180 hubs ,bearings and driveshafts are the strongest 1's fitted to road scoobies

Tbh I don't know much about the na boxer set up but generally na engines rely on back pressure. So big bore zorsts and induction kits can make you loose torque and power . As i haven't got a scooby do what those pipes are for ,I'd Probably start by bunging the leccy taped pipes with a suitable sized bolt and jubilee clip . Hopefully this will either cure the lack of power or rule the pipes out as the issue .

I run a old skool Bailey's with a uprated piston spring on my classic with a fmic. I assume that you've got your current d.v fitted to the fmic pipework ? If so any of the "generic" fmic d.v will work even if its a different size . If you check the Dia of your fmic pipework dump valve "take off" . Then buy a silicone reducer, to suit that Dia and the new dump valve entrance Dia . Some where like a.s.h (auto silicone hoses) will probably have them on the shelf .[emoji6]

Nice choice 😎 Do like a clean early classic ,me . Any plans for it ?

Sure I spotted a alcatek for a v1 /v2 on 1 of the many scooby face book for sale pages over the weekend. Can't remember which 1 , so not much help tbh lol . but it might be worth chucking a "wanted post " on a couple of them , to see if 1 turns up . Bear in mind each of the ecus you've mentioned will require different software and leads to 're map . So check with your mapper to see what they've got ,just in case they don't deal with the 1 you choose .

Nice selection of scoobies by the look of the pics [emoji41] Although its quite a trek from suffolk , I fancied going to a all scooby event , so I'm Gutted I couldn't make it [emoji57] Result getting a trophy too , nice work aucky [emoji106]

Starting to get boost n burble withdrawal [emoji22] As im having my driveway block paved and took the scooby round to my in-laws on Saturday, too keep her outta harms way . The caddy has got 250flbs of dirty derv boost but somehow doesn't give me the same grin factor [emoji23]

That intercooler is the v3/v4 sti one off mine , surprised its not sold already🤔 seeing as it's the most efficient tmic fitted to pre 99 classics 😉
-
Gutted a family bbq stopped play for me going to this . But hey take a few pics so i can see what I missed 😉
-
Id imagine The mapper should have seen excessive knock while mapping and fuel being added via knock correction if the knock sensor is the issue

You can buy esl daughter boards direct from andy stevens @ enduring solutions limited . I know you didn't want a generic chip debate but my advice would be to use esl or a stand alone apexi then bespoke map . Due to the decat and fmic being already fitted , As the aggressive timing used by "chips" wouldn't allow for the changes if airflow caused by the mods and there's no way to adjust to compensate for the mods .

I've got a "happy shopper " boot tidy which seemed to be ideal ..... Until I did the 1/4 mile at japshow and after 13 seconds of fun, i spent a good 15 mins putting all the bits back in my 150 pcs socket set 🤣
-
Braided lines are worth the money imo. As they firm up the peddle nicely ,as sandles and aucky said🖒
-
Have you checked rear dif and gearbox oil levels and condition ?
-
If its a non rusty ,genuine sti ra and the dccd 6 speed is in good order ,It's probably worth around that price . But a bit more info on why it's spares or repairs would help with the sale
-
Check the vacuum lines for splits especially from the purge solenoid and charcoal canister.
-
You do have to pay a licence fee to use ecutek but it is probably the most tried n tested way of remapping bug's and blobeyes oe ecus . So although i use a mapper thats good with all marques of cars (not just scoobies ) he knows and owns what software is needed to map each type of ecu's . Maybe try getting a quote off a mapper who already has experience with ecutek and scoobs .
-
Air intake or inlet manifold leak could draw in extra "unmetered air " too
-
Does your local mapper map a lot of scoobies ? I think most mappers use ecutek software to map the oe subaru ecu ,what software is your mapper trying to use and has the car been mapped already (if so by who) ?
