  1. I already have one along with the lower and upper oilpan off a 205, and will use it for initial startup and positioning... But due to me making an equal length header, I want to give myself some wiggle room for the design..ie routing ic piping as short and straight as possible, and then also giving clearance to the BMC for the DP etc. I'd like to be able to access the Turbo and other things easily/clean up the bay a bit. Still in the planning stages, but trying to finalize the design so I can get going on it. I'll do initial startup on a GF8 (ver5/6) ECU running wastegate boost, then swap to the Link once I can afford the bloody thing. Sorry for the hijack Ross.
  2. Hey Boon, my plan is to put it on the driver's side, ostensibly where the stock WRX/Forester turbo sits. I'd like to keep it close to the stock location and run a turbo blanket. I'd also like to run a top mount oil cooler where the stock IC sits, but I don't want the Oil pump to have to lift that much so I may scratch that idea.
  3. Hey guys, I've hunted Google and searched this site up and down, but can't turn up a Rocker/Valve cover gasket P/N for both sides. I've tried partsouq but am not exactly sure it's the right number. If anybody could toss it up for me here that would be grand and will be regarded in my heart of harts as a true scholarly gentleman (for what it's worth). Cheers, Kelly
  4. Ross, you're a life saver for putting all this info in one place. I've gathered all the needed bits for this but I'm using the ej208 and running the 205 oilpan/dipstick. Doing a custom High mount TD04 19T with a 9 blade exhaust wheel and billet front..running on a Link WRXlink5/6. I'll get a thread going once it's underway. Excitement mounts.
  5. Yea, I'm selling this one on, good call on the cat, I'll cut it out shortly
  6. I've heard rumor that the base timing can be adjusted with the right scan tool. Reason being is I want to pull back base timing ~5deg to cueb detonation. With summer here in Canada the air density and heat have proven too much for our 94AKI fuel. For the time being I've tossed a bottle of booster into each tank and that seems to remedy things. Boost peaks out at 1.1 bar so nothing crazy but I'd rather a more permanent solution. Anybody know of or has done this? It's tough to get any help in this neck of the woods... The dealerships are super beurocratic and won't touch a JDM, and nobody else seems to work on them so any help is greatly appreciated. Cheers, Kelly
  7. You know what, I'd inspect that turbo first thing. Then you can know for sure. Due to the intensely vacuum dependent system these cars run on, it could be causing a lot of issues past simply burning oil. Beyond that.. Here's what I've learned that may help. ECV solenoid might still be caked with sludge. furthermore line 2 in bbod has a pill in it, was clogged on mine and most of my lines are clean(you may need to push it out and clean it with a pin and some solvent/rub. alcohol. Getting any CELs? Is it pinging? Does the car smell like sulfur after running it a bit hard? If yes it's running too rich and overloading the cat... if the cat were clogged it would smell hot hot. o2 or maf there. High pitch noise sounds sort of like wastegate but could also be ECV leaking as it's ostensibly a wastegate too and seems like that sort of issue... take a look here: http://clubsub.org.nz/forum/showthread.php?41567-CEL-code-65-and-66 Knock sensor could also be cacked if you're not hearing any pinging, which would give you similar results with timing retard. Best guess the blue smoke is from a dead turbo. So either it's the mess it's left behind or the new turbo.
  8. ^This. The turbos on these cars are tiny, so in cyl temps climb quickly under load hence the easy pinging most get under high load low rpm... just not enough flow. Killing the cat and adding a frontmount will do wonders for driveability, not to mention longevity. I'm not quite sure how Subaru reckoned these were decent for Japanese summers.
  9. true. most of my driving is city sadly, the limits here are cripplingly low and the people breathe with their mouths. I find it's much better on road trips but it tends to be fairly mountainous here so long hill climbs= boost. I imagine a long flat drive could see 500 easy.
  10. So it's not uncommon for a bh5 auto to do about 390 to a tank? Can we start a BE/BH Crude Oil investor's group?
  11. MAF is dead? check wiring. Cam angle sensor, triggers injection and ignition pulses afaik.. another place to start. Any CEL codes?
  12. Thanks man, I've heard good stuff about them so I'll keep trying until the site is back.
  13. Yep, the intank bugger, not the pickup sock. Sadly in Canada they won't search by vin if it's a jdm. They are literally told not to help us by suby Canada. Know of any Aus or Kiwi sites that i can search by vin or model to turn up a p/n?
