Cool, unfortunately too soon for me. Make sure you post lots of pics of the parts when you get them.

I wish I had the money at the moment, theres a lot in their catalog I would love to have. Whats your time frame for the group buy?

I have found an old CS thread on this type of ECU Are you running a 2 or 3 port solenoid for the waste gate, if running a 2 port then that might be the issue as that ECU looks to need to use a 3 port second page about half way down it talks about 3 port solenoid

Very easy, just use some crc or wd40 on the hangers to help remove and reinstall.

To keep this going I would go the STI ECU and VF??? and injecctors. Enjoy the power upgrade without it being too much at once, and learn what you do and don't like once you have a bit more power. While doing this find a good tuner, talk to them about your plans, then save up for the parts you need/want and ECU and tune. The other thing I would say is that as the engine internals are an unknown at this point theres no point in spending thousands on turbos/ecu/tune if the engine won't handle it. Also I'd go for a VF series if possible as new technology, and keep an eye out for any second hand Link plug and play ecus, they do sometimes pop up

I would say forget the EBC and wideband and put that money into stuff below. You definitely should save for a Link, but I would do a turbo, STI ecu and injectors, if you get a recon set they should be fine. The upgrade of turbo will make a big difference, especially going from TD04 to TD05?Vf??? I went from TD05 to VF8 (close to TD04 size) and noticed the power difference/drop. Once you have the turbo/ECU in the car, enjoy the increase in power and save for a Link and tune. This way you won't run out of turbo as quickly as you would with the TD04 set up with a Link. Also I have a spare set of yellow injectors if you want. *note: someone more informed than me can give advice on VF turbos

for my 2c worth. A 'cheap' way would be a TD05/VF??? upgrade, and something like a Z4 ECU, maybe injectors a not sure what yours runs. that would be a budget conscious build with out adding boost controller, from memory it peaks at just over 13psi, i had this combo in my BC5 and it was enough for me for a while.

To throw something else out there.... what about dry sump system?

I really like the look of the RCM ones, Killer B ones seem to be the go in the States, might be just because of cost and availability of them but look cheap to me. The PBMS ones have been used here lots so can find first hand info on them. I would find more info on the RCM ones as they look such good quality, especially compared to the Killer B one. http://www.speedhunters.com/2017/03/roger-clark-motorsport/

If you get stuck, Ive got one in Chch you could use, but have no idea when it would get there

Theres lots of good info on tuning on the web and youtube, even if its not the exact engine, usually the principles don't change. Incremental steps in tuning, got to get everything happy and in the right parameters before doing any pulls and logging, and see if you can get some dyno time. What so many Youtube videos (that Ive seen anyway) lack is showing the setup of the base map, even an off the shelf map will need checking and maybe tweeking before the car runs well enough to do any sort of pull.

If you do this keep us updated, I have a friend who could be interested in one of these

I see it now its pointed out, Im old and blind

Yes, would be keen to find more about this, especially how the twin system is set up, I don't see the BBOD in the photo.

If you did want to this I would get a second ECU as a standby if you brick it or it gets screwed up.

Mine was done when they replaced the original damaged dash, so don't have to worry about mine. If you are getting it replaced by Crowesport in Christchurch I can vouch for the good workmanship in reinstalling the dash. Wouldn't even know it has been out, no creaks, rattles or unexplained gaps

From the rear it reminds me of a book shelf for some reason

Just ordered this for the Outback. Already have Apexi mufflers with an offset design, so will be able to switch between the X-Force ones to get the sound I want/like. The Apexi ones sound nice but missing something due to existing OEM resonator. Should be delivered for weekend fitment.

Did this From: To:

I did a quick google of those codes (i'm very bored) It shows that the 240 is for 6 cylinder as the throttle cable (pre facelift) is opposite to the 4s The 210 is for the correct side Link below for 240: hhttps://www.subarupartsforyou.com/oem-parts/subaru-sensor-throttle-22633aa240 Link below for 210: https://www.subarupartsdeal.com/parts/subaru-sensor-assembly-throttle~22633aa210.html

Heres one with the headlight washer: Note the little silver rectangle at the bottom of the light by the grill, thats the washer. with headlights on hold down the window washer button and it should turn it on. https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/subaru/auction-2298423609.htm?rsqid=440fb7139dfc41b29c6c144035aaf797-002

Thats what she said 🤣🤣🤣

I have been running my 3.0 Outback for the last week. I try to usually run 98, but most times its a blend of 98 and 95 depending where I am when I need to refuel. This week I have driven just over 500kms mostly around town and at a couple of times on a short trip down the motorway and a few 80km roads. With the NPD 100+ the car is running about .5km/l better fuel consumption, could be better if more highway/motorway driving was done. The engine definitely runs smoother and has picked up some pep at lower revs, also it runs about 1 notch cooler on the temp gauge.

Just about to do the wifes car too, getting it ready to hand over to our son when he gets his license later this year. Unfortunately its been sitting out in the open untouched for the last few months so will need a really good detailing. @tweedo good time for a bump

Mine sacred the bejeebus out of me while trying to reverse and avoid children!!!
