Tidgy replied to jonzey14's topic in Subaru Impreza Club
first off what gearbox is going in it? at 400bhp a 2.5 will be headed toward 450ftlb and a 5 speed box is just gonna shat itself. -
they work on all subarus mate, so wont be that. i suspect there isnt an easy way to do it with the software they have short of putting a syvecs on it.
-
Welcome. your right on the doorstep of scoobyclinic mate :)
-
try the sniff test and go from there then :)
-
strange, take it on a longer run and see what happens
-
yeah, i saw you we in the broad sort of area around there lol haha, yeah but it can wait lol i need a sign saying 'running in, try again next week' lol
-
was it a steady drive or did you give it some hammer? sounds daft but if the gasket is gone near the turbo it will only be on boost it leaks
-
im already planning milage hahaha work and back is about 30 miles if i go the long way/back country route. clinic and back is 60, im off to raf scampton sat which is 90,,,,,,,,, hahahaha
-
hahah nah, 1000 :D lol
-
yeah, not picked it up yet, having its mot tomorrow. got 500 miles on crappy mineral oil, then 500 on semi synth all with no boost :( then back for fully synth and map :D
-
It's alive, it's alive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! all 100bhp (at the wheels no less) of the finest flat 4 lol
-
sniff test isn;t just stickign your hooter in teh cap lol all mikey taking aside, sniff test uses a chemical to test for exhaust gases in the coolant. First thing i would check in the circumstances.
-
was at the sherwood one :)
-
i'll try and get a pic if its still there when im next up
-
core didnt look much better,,,,, lol
-
aye, bit disappointed but needs must, they did give me the option to take a chance and reused the rad but given how ropey it looked and only the cost of the rad so no additional labour or coolant charge bit of a no brainer. can see the top of the rad here, although thats' only the support frame, gives you an idea of how manky it is lol
-
If you change the turbo it will need mapping, unless you can find out who mapped it before it will prob end up being a full map.
-
I didnt swing by in the end, but been some more problems found so delayed it a tad more (only a couple of days) seems to be its had little to no major mechanical work since it was built having nock on effects with parts beibg damaged or ropey, rad is a bit worse for wear so is having a new one. due to pick it up one evening next week now, prob thursday

Near 400 on standard pistons is taking a risk. -
