I will let you know lol

Thanks for all replies....I have sorted it now, all tensioners have been changed along with water pump n thermostat....when it's not tensioned it all lines up as soon as I pull the pin it slightly of set so I flicked the key all good!! Just to let you know Mr b I'm not a home mechanic, I am a tech n a engineer in my field....just never played with the jap toys always been friends with De Germanz :) .....the Scooby has been a pleasure to work on so nice and easy to remove stuff....my next job is the clutch... just getting prepared for a De cat and custom remap, it's meant to be my daily lol

hI all I have done the timing belt today on my wrx 52 plate, I timed it all up all the markings matched....pulled the pin and rotated a couple of times...but the pullys on drivers side markings seem to be slightly off set and I mean the 2 marks facing each other, they are more or less lined up just off a tad.. is this normal?

My wrx when cold goes to 1800rpm then drop to 500rpm

Evening all I have had the Scooby a week now and have a few under line problems. So here goes Dry wheel bearing any decent makes recommended? 2 port boost controller, where can I purchase 1 if ebay any usual sellers? Also when I turn left a bit hard feels like the left wheel is dragging anything common tracking maybe? Also the other nite I had the management light flash but didn't store a code?? I am planing to do the work the week end along with a timing belt kit and water pump. Getting it ready for a remap, I may chuck a clutch in too. It's a bug eye wrx 52 plate When I viewed it test drove it not 1 issue and I am very anal with this stuff.

if it has a intercooler then you know its not a sports :)

lol, I thought it worked well when you get board :D ..

oh rite ok.

who is it?

I would rather let the guys in there field deal with it, rather then having ago tbh. my moto pay cheap pay twice

apparently the ecu on my model isn't locked so no need for the license?, I don't understand how come no 1 has developed a way round this locked ecu problem, going by the VAG world all ecu's have some kind of coding just finding a way round it

No its a bug eye

I am happy to do all the work my self but mapping is a different story and if Duncan is good then happy days.

Happy days so I am on the right path...just been out in the Scooby and seems I may have a underline issue...just took it to around 110mph on my private road and engine management light flashed a few times so I backed off pulled up and it stoped flashing and completely went off....I have a vt diagnostic reader plumbed in don't know how good it is...but I just tried to read for a fault code and there isn't 1 stored! It drove back fine but didn't go any were near 100. Any ideas ?

this may be the guy not 100% sure, but if he is a midlands guy then must be the tuner and maps the cars for kamikaze

he is quite known in the midlands, his tuner is mobile called Duncan i think

i was told by kamikaze-racing that my ecu is not locked and doesn't require license so happy days for me as its cheaper Sorry for all the questions but i am nearly there now with the hole understanding of the Scooby tuning, So my Scooby will be running yellow injectors as mine is a 52plate and where can i get a new 2 port boost controller from ?

its a bug eye wrx 52 plate, if i went ie pink injectors will they need mapping in due to flow rate?

ive had a quick look, pretty cool stuff shame he doesn't go into great detail regarding the hybrid specs, as there is a lot of products on the market ie custom billet wheels made to your own spec and so on. I need to keep a level head with this car other wise its going to end up being a big build lol and this wasn't intended for that, td04 hybrid stage 1 with decat and remap may be the most I will ever go with this car. few other questions while I have peoples attention lol. what is the injector CC ie what do they max out at and what is the fuel pump good for, is there any suttle things I can change to improve the safety of the engine?

Andy forrest? ? The td05 16g wouldn't you have a it more lag though?

What about the td05 m8? I would prefer to look at the td04 hybrid route if I went down that line

If the engine is good for 350 bhp, surely a td04 isn't going to put the engine under strain if anything the turbo will let go before the engine due to the turbo over speeding. If mapped correctly and ran it on the slightly rich side we should be ok rite??...what psi does a mapped td04 and td05 run? more boost doesn't always equal more power either Regards to the build n map, I stated in my first post I know it's down to the owner and mapper m8....I have a good understanding about the tuning world just like to know how the japes roll :)

lol, I like that SHOULD be fine. that's all I have been hearing....So in a nut shell max the td04 be here, if you go any more start looking at engine rebuild, which I hope I never have todo due to already into a £6k build with my audi s4 2.7 bi-turbo

Evening all I have a 52 bug eye wrx running a td04 ...my question is how reliable will it be after a map? I here so many scary stories about the bottom end and melting pistons. Is it a question of when and not if it fails? And yes I know a lot of it has to do with the owner and the person doing the mapping

ok thanks
