Sold 😂

Oh! Forgot you're in the NE! Where at? Consett isn't overly far from me...Anyways, possibly @Hudson, @Fastboy67 and I are going to meet up on Monday if you'd like to join (and anyone else?) details a bit fuzzy at the moment.

BOOM! 😬

Damn! Nice work @Hudson wish I knew how to paint 😢

A box @kershaw-330s interesting...

Christ, so I'm officially a fuel pump install expert if anyone needs help haha. Pulled it back out again, changed everything back to stock and back in (in 30mins this time!) took it for a whirl, pulls fine through the gears...at 1.2bar boost 😂

Switched the sock. When I pulled it, it did look like it was leaking a bit, so I tightened up the pipe even more. Sock was covered with fuel so I don't think it wasn't starving, but like I said, changed it anyways back to stock. Got it back in l, started up, could hear it whine a bit more, so thought it might of been fixed, pressure was a nice 2.9 bar on the cold start up and steady. Went out and did about 7-8 pulls and the same thing keeps happening. No changes, it has to be the pump. 2nd and 3rd gear still noticeable in the upper revs, mostly prominate in 3rd gear. I did get some video, but it's really hard to see/hear it on it, but it's really noticeable when you're in the car. I set the DEFI's to record as well to get a picture of the peaks...now this is where it gets fun. I was told it was running a stock map, which I believe was at the time. Check out the peak boost now though...1.2 bar nearly (17.4psi). Fuel pressure peaks at 4.8 bar. Is there any way to check if it's got a ECUTek license or OpenSource installed? If it has been mapped, could this be the problem?

Right, so switching the sock today and check the connections. Just wonder if it might be the sock. In saying that, you'd think it would happen more than just the upper revs if that were the problem.

After a load of googling when getting in from work, I think it might actually be the sock...going to switch them tomorrow and use the stock sock and see if that changes anything.

Walbro GSS342 290lph "Colossus" if memory serves. I'm at work. For real? I did wonder what the hell was going on. Fit it on an empty tank, put £20 in to give it a test, so literally about a 1/4 tank. I've been trying to boot it about and in the upper revs around 5.5k I'm getting some cuts. Spoke with a few people and no one knows what's happening, and I've been quoted £60 to have it liked at and tested! May as well buy a new pump for that price! Can you put the old filter back on to stop starvation? I tend to fill up completely once a fortnight...

Took it out for a spin, still seems to do it around 5.5k revs...

Not that much more? Like £15-20 extra I think, if even.

Tax? I pay mine monthly 😕

To be honest, if she drove it, she'd probably love it. She use to have Megan Sport and she loved that...sure the STi is a bit louder, but it's quicker and handles just as well I'd imagine (never drove her Megan, she had that before I met her. Haven't really been pushing the sale of it if I'm honest. Waiting to get the refund and pick up that other onefirst before really going for it. Shame as well as I'd probably keep it if it was 3" all the way through 😕

Few photos of the new pump on. Forgot to take a load whilst doing, but the one with the huge filter is the stock one. Note to anyone doing this, make sure you don't forget to put the pressurised line all the way back on like I did! 😂 Heard a little pop and then spraying as soon as I switched the car back on! Fuel everywhere! Luckily I hand tightened the cover back over it haha

Switched the alloys to the silver/dark grey STi alloys. Think it looks much better. Did the fuel pump install today as well. Went pretty well/easy, just takes some time (less than an hour probably as I haven't put the seats back in yet/had them out and ready to do this). Forgot to take loads and loads of pics, but I did it on a nearly empty tank (the light was on) and after went for a little drive and to put £20 in it so it's not sitting on empty haha. Used the stock wiring connection because it fit and looked the exact as the new one, but he new one didn't have the connection that went into the sender unit. I did encounter what felt like a juddering up in the upper rev ranges, particularly around 5500rpm, but I think it might of been a bit of air especially as I let it sit and went for a little drive once a little bit later (while it was still warmed up) and it seemed to disappear. Going to keep an eye on that part just in case, but I've kept all the stock parts just in case for now as well. Anyways here's some pictures 😊

Tones it down a bit, but it's goooood.

Whole thing is loud as owt at the moment because I had the back seats ripped out haha. Just changed to the silver alloys as well.

Right out new Walbro fuel pump in today. Used the OLD connection that was already on the car as it fit fine and the new connection didn't have the opposite end on it (2 cables not connected to anything) and I didn't really want to mess too much with that. Everything went smoothly, until the test drive. Warmed the car up, fine, normal driving, fine. However, I started hitting boost and pulling through the revs, fuel pressure was fine and so was boost by all accounts, and in the upper revs it starts to jutter and it makes a fast intermittent sound coming out of the exhaust, almost like its being struggling...anyone got any ideas? I have a video (hard to tell with it but might help)...maybe the connection? 😕 Just don't see what difference that makes? EDIT: just took it out again quickly, wonder if it was just some air passing through with having it out? Seemed to be alright that time...

Safe to say mine hates mine haha "you love that car more than me!" She hasn't said it yet, but probably would haha

😂😂😂😂

Ahhh yeah, I've got a 5 year old 😂

You're up early!

Bump, changed plans again for those that don't know 😂 Buying a full 3" system now so the cat back is for sale 😂

But what exactly makes it worth it is what I'm asking. From what I'm seeing, OpenSource can do everything ECUTek can do...aside from the app, but I'm assuming that's not available for our cars from what I've seen...mind according to ECUTek website, map switching, launch control, boost control, custom parameters, and ECM Reset aren't available for 2004+ Subaru's...
