there is also the ppg gearset which ive read good things about

mint! and welcome

But apparently it's remanufactured and quite a few have been sold I'm really stuck in a two minds 50quid remanafactured and 180 brand new, that could be £140 spelt elsewhere or saving up for a esl board Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

So which one would you recommend? What about monoethyleneglycol? Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

Woooow! I'm sure I watched a different video that made it look a lot more complicated than that... cheers man!! I was thinking about getting these plugs: http://scoobyworld.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=47_176&products_id=1254 Should I go for Grade 6 or 7? I was thinking 7 since I'm getting the car remapped? Is Ur scoob a 2.0 or 2.5?(those don't work on 2.5ers) I myself got NGK pfr6bs and to be honest I'm not sure so I'll leave that answer to someone else Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

Ill help you as much as i can as i have some experience on this myself and also you will find this motivating and helpful.

It's pretty darn straightforward on our ej engines #boxerlife Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

@Sandals Ok i have changed the coolant myself and thus researched this quite a bit, what we need for out cars are NAP free coolants (Nitrate, Amine, Phosphate) I personally use this: fuchs fricofin £20 + £3 distilled water and bobs ur uncle. (makes 10L) OR Motul inguel £26 (makes 5L but i reckon our cars use 6.5l of coolant so ull need to buy 2) As for gearbox/diff oil: motul 300 £13 (2x for gearbox and 1x for diff). spark plugs are easy as pie honestly if i can do them so can you, just need to take off airbox and windscreen washer box the trick to spark plugs is: around the metal threads put some copper antisieze and use some silicone grease on the coilpack circumference inside to make life easier for the next time. Put in, tighten, once hand tight give it 1/4-1/2 turn and Ur done. idk about coolant flush i just ran plain water in mine for a week and then drained it yolo here is a video about flushing. (I could be very wrong about this all so make sure you double check with someone)

what do you think guys ? this.

so, i decided to plug the black connectors together and guess what im getting a error code 23 so its the MAF, took the MAF out again cleaned it up with electrical contact cleaner reset the ecu and double checked via the black connectors, disconnected them, ran the car a little and checked again and it threw out that error code so its time to get a new maf i guess. (brand new 183 from RCM) Or second hand for £50

@savage bulldogs could i have a weak fuel pump? ive changed my fuel filter and ive gone back to stock airbox aswell as clean the maf, the first start of the day, it takes EXACTLY three cranks to start the car, also could the minor fluctations be due to a weak fuel pump. Can i swap out a walboro 255lph without a remap and with factory fuel lines? thanks

14v would be ideal Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

Don't do this, check your alternator first, I did this and my battery was fine, go get it checked in a shop then test you altSent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk After a run she started fine which seems like she's charging ok,I can put a meter on the alt to check charging but I guess it's down to lack of use Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Just get a multimeter put it in DC voltage and slap everything on fogs, stereo, AC, fullbeam and make sure it's above 13v Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

returned the piper cross and fitted the stock air box back alongside a kn panel filter, changed the fuel filter, MASSIVE DIFFERENCE.

Right lads, since im going to be making a SSM1 (<1997 DIAG)cable, i want to document and record everything here and hopefully it will help us out as a community. ill be following these instructions. Shopping list: 1) Audio harness adapter for Legacy 84-97 (Autoleads: PC2-29-4) 2) FTDI TTL-232R USB to 5v TTL cable 3) 2.54mm 0.1” Pin Strip (Maplin JW59P) 4) plain matrix board with 1mm holes on a 2.5mm matrix (Maplin: JP54) 5) LM358N Op Amp 6) 10k Ohm minature potentiometer 7) 4.7k Ohm resistor 8) 0.1uF Capacitor 35V 9) BL17 8-way DIL socket 10)copper wire 0.53mm ill continue when i manage to order all the stuff

http://www.alcyone.org.uk/ssm/usbhowto.pdf sorry about the late reply!

seems almost perfect, does it have a way to show boost psi?

Any chance you could share the link / document? I'll get it to you now, although there is a pretty hard to find part (I assume) and it also might just be more economic to buy it but let's see (although making it is super cool haha) Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

hes located in central leicester pretty much

welcome mate

get in there leicester!! leicester!! we have quite a few scoobs if you ever need a hand just shoot me a message :P welcome btw

no place to drill hole as its such a tight fit!!! i cable tied two massive one and then strapped the airbox in, i really need to source some of them clamps :/. good news is, the car has never started so easy before there is still minor fluctuation in revs +/- 50rpm im pretty sure that will clear when the ecu learns (i disconnected the battery for 30mins or so before starting)

my mate is selliing an afterburner vortex for a hawkeye, idk if it will fit yours but check in the for sale section, good luck!

thanks for the pointer, ive now found a document explaining how to make the cable and i will proceed to make the cable, thanks!
