Finally got the boost gauge actually moving somewhat properly on hose 11. Question is, what psi is it supposed to read at idle, normal driving, first and secondary turbos? I currently have 20psi vacuum on idle, hitting about 10psi boost on primary, then drops to about 5psi boost in the VOD, I have yet to see it on the secondary turbo. When moving and the foot comes off the pedal it drops right back down to 20psi vacuum. Pretty sure 20psi vacuum isn't right but the primary and VOD look about right. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Carbon engine cover /japfest prep started

As with anything, practice makes perfect. There is a certain process to get the finish right without any folds in the finish where the sheet got loose. Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk -

I do like that a lot. Might look at doing something similar for mine at a later date. Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk -
Need a Blitz BOV adapter or fitting kit.

Yeah... it wasnt big enough. The skyline one was 95mm between holes, the subaru one needs 105mm. Not all bad news. Got one that will fit now and also looking at getting a load of simply designed adapters made up. Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk -

Basically as above. I need an adapter plate or fitting kit for putting my Blitz into the BH5 intercooler. The BOV currently has a 31mm plate bolted to it so that can be taken off and bolted directly to the adapter plate. If there isnt anything available does someone have the dimensions of the plate that bolts to the intercooler and i can try and get an adapter made up. Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk

Mid range sluggish 05 2.0R Sport Help please
Skifledanabit replied to djg8033's topic in Subaru Impreza Club
Thats just a possibility of what it could be. A lot of people on here do their own repairs and servicing so its helpful to know a few bits to rule them out. Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk -

Skifledanabit replied to djg8033's topic in Subaru Impreza Club
Change spark plugs, change the HT leads and maybe the distributor cap. Usually hesitation around the midrange can be attributed to electrics. Also make sure all your grounding points are in good contact with the body. Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk -

Umm... possibly not the best place to post that in my thread. But anyway, is yours a twin turbo? It could be the notorious valley of death which is the point when the second turbo is spooling up to take over from the first. Im sure if you search you will find the answer.

Hmm, the foresters are starting to grow on me. I have a couple of choices with Legacys right now, so if they fall through, we may start looking a bit more at Foresters. -
Ok, not sure what is happening at the moment with Madfish's, so could the collective please advise me with these adverts; http://www.ebay.co.u...f84aed#viTabs_0 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1998-SUBARU-LEGACY-GTB-BH5-TWIN-TURBO-Auto-with-LPG-/251427028670?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item3a8a37febe http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SUBARU-LEGACY-GT-2-0-TWIN-TURBO-AUTO-ESTATE-BLACK-/331102643074?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item4d17416382 This one confuses me a bit, what does the VDC bit mean and how is it different to any of the other GTBs that are around? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Subaru-Legacy-GT-VDC-4WD-2-0i-Auto-/380805336593?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item58a9c44e11 Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk

Need a reversing camera.
Skifledanabit replied to Skifledanabit's topic in Subaru Engines, Exhausts and modifications
I reckon there are some decent CCD ones with guidelines around for much cheaper lol. Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk -
Spent hours searching and i just dont seem to be getting any closer. I need a reversing camera, preferably one on a numberplate mount. It needs to be CCD, have guidelines on screen and compatible with something like the Pioneer AVH-X8500BT head unit. Anyone know of these things?

i know it sounds silly but the GTB has power windows all round and window locking right? Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk

Thats what i noticed. The deposit that is. Its advertised as 2.0 gt. Is that just a typo then? Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk

I prefer the looks of the third gen to be honest and the missus wants something a bit newer so the third gen is ideal. Im just not too clued up on what revisions are what. So basically, im after a 3rd gen 1998 onwards, i would prefer the newer ones but for the right price/spec i will take an earlier one. Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk

So do i. There's a couple of them on ebay. There's a black one with reversing camera that we are intrigued in but its a bit far to go and view it seeing as its in Coventry and we're in Romford, Essex. Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk

Couldnt find a cars wanted thread so please excuse me if this is in the wrong place. I'm after a Legacy GTB, manual or semi auto, less than 100k miles, year 2000 or later but will go for an earlier model for the right specs. (Got to be facelift model) I would prefer rev C or D but again, will accept earlier for the right spec. Budget of around £3.5k. Please either reply on here with specs, pictures, price and location or PM me. Thanks.

I had a look in the boot of an impreza wagon. Its too small. Need something a bit more substantial. Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk -
Hi everyone, My name is Martin, AKA Skifle. I have been in the jap car scene since around 2009 when I owned my first FC3S RX7 and stumbled across the tunnel run club Missbanzai. I'm based in Romford, Essex and currently own 2 FC RX7s and a MK1 MX5, one of the FCs is quite rotten and will be getting its 13BT engine stuck into the MX5, the other is an EGi and will be welded on to fight another day, when I find the time to do it that is. I'm not on here to talk Mazda, obviously, the girlfriend and I are looking at changing her car (04 Fiesta Zetec S) for something a bit bigger now we have two dogs to ferry around, it has to be estate, it has to fit two dogs in the boot, it has to fit in at car shows and show the Honda Civic boys who's boss. So this narrows it to a choice of the following... 2003 - 2007 Honda Accord Type-S - 2.4 VTEC yo, FWD, big boot, only petrol ones are auto. 2002 - 2008 Mazda 6 Sport - 2.3, AWD, big boot, mainly auto. Mitsubishi Legnum/Galant - 2.5 Twin Turbo, AWD, Huge boot, mainly auto Nissan Avenir - 2.0 SR20 Engine, AWD, Huge boot, rare as rocking horse **** Subaru Forester - 2 versions, the XT and the STi, both huge boots, one faster than the other, cant see any semi autos, manuals are a bit more common. Subaru Legacy - either a GTB or the R Spec B. Basically, I need a hand deciding which, I want power, I want manual, I want it to look good and stand out in a crowd in a good way, I want Funvee not Humdrumvee! *EDIT* Budget of £3000 plus the fiesta which is worth about the same again. So probably £6000 unless someone knows of anyone that wants a fiesta as P/X. *EDIT*
