Anyone selling a set of genome tips? Edit: or recommendations on what mufflers to use? I was thinking adrenaline R mufflers... but think they might be way to big...

link g4 and e85 will make 250kw on stock turbo setup

Hey everyone, Im looking for a good mechanic/shop in Hamilton to take my v7 sti. I definitely want someone who knows the ins and outs of subarus. Dont want any backyard crap. I see winger is in town, so might drop in and see them. but local knowledge if theres anywhere else would be great.

So I'm almost in the Tron. Cars all sweet at the moment... but does anyone recommend any mechanics/workshops that specialise in subarus. Not planning on anything changing or going wrong but always handy to know where to go in an event...

Reckon it's a big deal that only two of the primaries are wrapped and two are not?

started the v7 today... had a terrible rattle from the engine. turned it off.... jacked it up and almost all the stainless lies holding my exhaust wrap on the headers were loose... hence the rattle. and to make it worse the warp is toast and was falling off in strands. so now i have two banks wrapped... and two are not... this shouldn't create EGT issues right???? i found a few stainless hose clamps that fitted so i have tightened those around the remaining warp. SHOULD i just remove it all? and leave it... or re-wrap

This is what i like to hear!! i like the sound of that. definitely will have to pop in

that sounds promising. I will probably go along and see what its like.

Would be good if not. I am more after the Subaru scene for a start though.

So ill be moving into Hamilton to begin a new job in the new year. Ill bring my v7 sti with me, so will be keen to be out and about exploring the area and meet some other subaru enthusiast. Is there a active group from CS there? I have seen the WMCC page but im not really sure if thats my sorta scene. I am not into the boy racer and skids sh!t, but rather enjoy a drive and park up for some decent photos and to talk sh!t with other like minded car nut people

gotasubys 2.5 holset engine went to 8k rpm im pretty sure. You would have to ask him on the engine specs

I too will cross this hurdle if i build a engine. Im assuming its easier to de-stroke a 257 then stroking a 207? i thought you could do a similar thing with a 207 to make 2.35?

mines about the same. just dont go WOT, or pin it.... literally nana it and youll be amazed. pretty sure i got 550km to a tank in my old gf8 wagon when i first got it.... promised dad i wouldnt rape it.... i have never made a tank last that long since... no idea on the ideal sorry...

sounds like boost cut or similar... i dont think you can run ewg with a factory 2-port. even if it did work, it wouldn't be effective because the duties are on the piss, hence high boost and boost cut issues. as far as im aware, ewg can only be tuned via spring, bleed valve or mac 3-port EBC/ mac 3-port stock ecu tuned. Edit: i can remove all boost lines from my ewg and plumb internal back up, but the tune needs modification to accommodate the change. easier to have it plumbed into downpipe with a two bolt flange to change between.

swapped out the RS legacy headers for my Fujitsubos...and flipped the tune. godam what a difference. everything is better. especially mid-top end.

cleaned my MAF sensor. always good

looks like that didnt end so well....? mine was sss aswell, 1.8 though. it loved grass paddocks

i know this is a band aid fix.... but its another option... worth pulling them apart and cleaning all the gunked up grease out and re-grease em, even put grease nipples on for next time. I recently got this done on mine and the improvement was amazing. handles and rides so much better. nearly 2000km since it was done and still mint. I went with this option on the fact i didnt want adjustable suspension, nor was i prepared for 500 inserts.

sorry i cant be of anymore help. all i noticed was when i took the DW sock off mine the slip connection to the pump was really really loose (think i said that in a previous post), i reckon it was sucking air through there. Factory sock fitted far better. id start with getting a OEM sock, seeing as yours now has a hole in it...which wont help, and go from there.

<1/3 if i remember correctly. i have a thread on it somewhere on here... but i cant find it.

(sorry for the potato quality photo)....right hand is oem, left is a drand new DW sock. the DW sock caused mine to surge... just like yours. imo with a stock sock and good quality pump you shouldnt surge at all. if its not those items it must be something else...

This annoys me to. I always see people texting in banked up chch traffic. Numerous times iv yelled out "get off your phone".... only for them to abuse me back. people are idiotic.

driving hard or not the factory system should be fine cornering. my v7 has never had a problem since i used the factory sock... and the injectors are maxed. If the fuel pump and sock is fine it must be something else, fuel reg etc... a external setup would be the last thing id look into.... unless your pushing 350+ hp

if i can remember correctly some of the aftermarket ones are smaller? my tuner recommends DW over the others. Just use your old fuel filter sock or get a new replacement one. I personally think a surge tank on a road car is over kill... and so is keeping it above 1/2 tank. I know someonerunning big power, 1000cc injectors with factory fuel setup and just a drop in fuel pump with no issues...
