Can't find a price on that site 😕
-
Is it still for sale, if so I will have it if it fits my hawk
-
Sounds luvverly !! Gonna be awesome with a proper turbo 😎

Latest addition to the cause...

I will try and remember to take a pic of the fuse/relay tomoz for you, you may be lucky, it's an easy job to do one side as long as bolts come out ok, but the other side is an **** because you have to remove the uppipe to get at it,also you have to cut the baro sensor out of one of the actuator valves anc leave it plugged in if you remove the valves
-
If the fuse has blown, chances are the pump motor is fried, it's another let down of the hawks, really you want shot of the whole system as you will have never ending problems with it, pump motors failing, they have even been known to seize and catch fire ! And then you will get all sorts of cells later on for the actuator valves failing, I know I may sound z bit doom and gloom but I'm just giving you my experience of my 100k hawk

😕😡

Where from, how much 🤔
-
Everything already mentioned above, and being a hawk/2.5, check your oil every week without fail, some 2.5 engines (especialy) can have a tendency to burn/use oil at an alarming rate (more so with spirited driving), easy for them to empty the sump between 3.5k oil changes and toast the engine, as an aside, subaru think it's ok/within spec to burn 1litre of oil per 1000 miles, so as you can see, at that rate your car would be in trouble by next oil change

Farkskin hell , defo after standard after seeing the price of those haha, I see Brian? crower ones on eBay from USA for bout 110 quid, I've got a guy that's been supplying my bits , Sean Hurley, from Hurley race car parts, he should becable to get me some, but needs a chassis number and I don't have one for a 2006 hawk sti which is what the heads are from
-
After standard mate, well, not double springs for sure as not replacing valves, will are a look at that link 👍
-
You can get the efficiency cel if you have a pre cat/pre sensor leak
-
Hi all, anybody know where to buy new valve springs for my 2006 Hawkeye sti heads, tried icp, but they don't sell them, suppose it's Subaru main dealer ?
-
Forget that, just watched vid and didn't hear one 😳
-
Have you got a vent to air dump valve
-
Should have spring loaded end/s with square locators on the very end to locate into boot plastics, should just be a case of compressing the internal Spring so locator comes free and removing load cover from car
-
Valve guides are all back in, heads still measure 127.5mm so will have a little skim done, tigged up the little dint I put in it ready for the skim, and "adjusted" the scoop a bit 😜
-
Lols, just messing about with it at the mo tbh, I liked the scoop more when it didn't have the second bend in it to bring the opening down a bit cos I thort it might pull the bonnet off at speed 😜, might remake it, but first will shape those sides a bit more, probs cut it away on the top and taper the sides in at the top, then fit some ally spindles in the opening and mesh it 🙈
-
Removed valve guides and oil restricters from heads, tapped head with a hammer while doing guides right where the head gasket seals the cylinder, have dinged it, so that'll have to be welded and skimmed, bummer, have got new supertech guides and seals to go back in, and have had a play about with the bonnet scoop lol
-
Price may help
-
Get a hawk, get the engine forged and you will have the better engine and it will be reliable, they really are a gamble otherwise, there is no hard and fast rule to why/when the 2.5 break, mine was bought already broken with a meticulous service history
-
-
As mamba said, fuel lines under inlet manifold leak a little when cold, it's a known thing, may even have been a recall 🤔
-
That looks awesome mate !! Where did the big scoop come from ?
