Tidgy replied to Jammy Johnny's topic in Subaru Engines, Exhausts and modifications
Sound wont tell you much i'm afraid, unless its running really crap and spluttering. -
Compression test uk turbo 2000
Tidgy replied to Jammy Johnny's topic in Subaru Engines, Exhausts and modifications
Its more about balance across the cylinders rather than how high. Doesn't look great with 1 and 3 being down, 3 looks pretty poor result -
Well thats whats called highs and lows isnt it? spoiler alert so don't read on if you dont wanna know Win, 3 3rds and a 2nd after dnf's prvious round :o what a comeback. was interesting to hear plato sacked off the development shocks and found a massive improvment
-
My type r was on 100k when bearings went, but it had seen some track and they are turned up considerably higher than a wrx so i wouldn't worry. see them on 150k plus frequently
-
Depends what you call pricey, they can build to required spec. Do you know whats failed on yours? There are cheaper alternatives, but you tend to get what you pay for. Second hand engines are a risk, no gaurenty with them, plenty of people get bitten by them.
-
Do you know exacty what has failed? said its not running at all?
-
Tein super streets or what ever they call them now are pretty good, not too hard yet a good performance upgrade.
-
haha, few bags of rice should sort it :d lol
-
Depends how it was stored, if it was damp it's gonna be a mess
-
theres a short somewhere by the sounds of it. need to trace it through the electric system to find the fault. i had one that turned out to be the cables down near the wheel arch that stopped the dash working which stopped it charging
-
He's totaly clueless mate, walk away and find a proper specialist. after those change its will need a map, no 'to get the best gains', it will need mapping to stop it from self destructing.
-
Built properly will be good for another 150k, also a good excuse to have it upgraded ;) Yep, Scoobyclinic have built 2 different engines for 2 different cars, both 2.5's though. I went kinda mad second time and had a full closed deck converted 2.5 built hahaha also had heads rebuilt including new valves and valve guides from this, with a rattly crank shaft to this and that is on low boost and being held back to stop the gearbox from self destructing haha

Anyone seen any horses running around? I've lost a few!
Tidgy replied to Shaqs77's topic in General Subaru Chat
As above have you got the graphs? also how sure are you it's ppp'd? -
scoobyclinic are down at chesterfield so not too far from leeds, They have everything in house from servicing to mapping to engine building and a dyno so can give it a look for you im sure.

Re-Map Advise
Tidgy replied to KillerShark1978's topic in Subaru Engines, Exhausts and modifications
Will be around £1500 + vat. who you get recommended to do it will depend on who you ask. Scoobyclinic are up at chesterfield and do all my work from servicing through to full engine builds. -
Do you know whats wrong with yours? could you get it rebuilt instead?
-
Scoobyclinic sometimes have some in as well
-
haha, yeah they do have a tendency to smoke the condensation off. doesn't sound anything to worry about
-
Go outside and have a word with yourself in the strongest possible way,,,,,,, hahahaha Whats the interior like?
-
White smoke is water and typically condensation in the exhaust when its cold, does it go when the car warms up?
-
depends on what your planning to do with the car, cant imagine you'll get much change from a grand for that amount of work so not worth doing if you plan to sell. If you plan to keep it and mechanicly its spot on prob worth it, you could easily pay 2k for the same model and end up with a decent body but mechanical dog. Breaking it for parts is only a limited market, cos its none turbo engine wont be worth more then a couple of hundred and rest has limited value, may get a better offer as a whole breaker
-
though they were normaly around £600 for a brand spanker fitted and mapped? seems pretty price for a second hand one when you add £250 RR time for mapping it your up to £700 anyway. alcatek is only £900 fitted and mapped, for £200 more i'd go alcatek, sack the maf etc etc
-
not been for a number of years, used to go pretty regular. Never seemed to be much going on when i went
-
have a look at alcatek, if your buggering around with piggy backs or apexi (which is donkeys years old now) then while a tad more expensive a much better option. If its had a new engine then will explain why its running like a bag of spanners, different engine, different map so i expect its never been setup properly. Sounds like you need to take it to a specialist and get them to have a look at whats what and sort out any faults it has

Max boost 32 bit DBW Newage ECU
Tidgy replied to Kgerrie157's topic in Subaru Engines, Exhausts and modifications
Need to take it to a mapper that knows what there doing by the sounds of it, shouldn't be getting boost cut on a mapped car unless they have pushed it too far or has setup issues. For that sort of power then syvecs is the way to go, standard ecu won't cope, i ran my old hawk at 400 and the standard one struggled at the best of times. Don;t scrimp and risk your engine
