Tidgy replied to Tobiaz's topic in General Subaru Chat
try importcarparts, failing that you may have to go aftermarket. -

307 BHP Subaru Impreza WRX STI 2004 | Highway Run
Tidgy replied to STIpper's topic in General Subaru Chat
looks like a nice drive out -
noice noice 😄

Ah, secondary air system is total garbage, takes water in and the valves in it eventualy rust and fail. Bad news is you cant just turn it off in the ecu, you need to get the valves removed so they dont jam in the wrong position.

secondary air pump, black round thing? sounds too high pitched to be bottom end in the video

Help required - legacy diesel engine knock
Tidgy replied to DVenables's topic in General Subaru Chat
4k for a second hand engine? jebus. give scoobyclinic a call, they should be able to advise if the prices your being quote are about the right ball park or if they are just trying to price themselves out of not doing it -
could try scoobyclinic up at chesterfield, they can do it all so no one place to another etc

whent he turbo lets go small metal shavings/filings (even though looks ok to the eye) frequently get into the oil, they then get fed to the bearings and cause them to wer and then fail 😞 can you see if you can find a second hand engine? if not then your options are very limited 😞 -
yeah, cowboy watch haha

welcome, they are rather adcitive 😄

Engine Subaru impreza wrx 2.5 hatchback
Tidgy replied to Karlo's topic in Subaru Engines, Exhausts and modifications
just bite the bullet and get it rebuilt, the 2.5 in stock form is a bit of a lemon and you could swap it and it fail 2 weeks later again. -
oof, what happened? the sti 6 speed is a propper monster strength wise, seen plenty running well over 600
-
Depends what your plans are, be aware the 2.5 isnt the most robust engine so you will only be able to ahcieve 300 ish before your pushing the limit. A turbo from an sti (non twin scroll) will be a nice upgrade, but bear in mind above and you may need supporting mods, plus it will need mapping for the turbo.

Was it a like for like swap? COuld be the maf or could be something else, need to plug in and see what the EML is

US version here http://www.sucross.com/
-
ah, explains the issue then. hmm
-
is it a uk or import?
-
impreza is no more in the uk 😞 in america they even released an S209. In fact subaru models in the UK are pretty poor, no more manual gearbox and im not even sure they do any turbo charged cars any more, tis a sorry state of affairs 😞 Add in the success subaru US are having in rally and rallycross and i suspect they will only get bigger over there.
-
subaru US are much more interested in the owners, Subaru UK have basicly destroyed a fanatical following of the brand. They are more bothered about sponsering horse trials and golf tourneys now rather than motorsport 😞
-
dunno if this helps, https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/subaru/xv/2-2012-2017/12704

that helps dunnit. i swear subaru UK are useless
-
very strange, what does your owners manual say about what size they should be?
