  1. Kinda hoping a few of u guys may know of a few things I might of missed before I get an ecu.. next things on the list are oil cooler .. front mount intercooler and walbro fuel pump and phase 1 440cc injectors, better flowing exhaust manifold and then an ecu and tune but I feel like im missing something still. Myself and a friend whose a mechanic n builds / tunes performance engines for a living done the work in my shed. Hes suggested a few things most of which iv done or have on the t do list already but was wondering if anyone knew of any factory ecus better than the u8 that'll work without a rewire etc or any other suby goodies I haven't thought of that work with a v2 wrx
  2. Hey guys. anyone have any suggestions on more mods etc to make some more power from my v2 wrx wag?. Currently its running a freshly rebuilt closed deck block and v2 heads with permaseal mlsr headgaskets n new seals n gaksets everywhere.. Has a Td05h turbo, blitz bov, full 3" turbo back exhaust, u8 ecu and k&n air filter, also has a turbosmart boost controller set on 13psi. Just wana makes some more power.. anyone got any suggestions?
  3. Thanks man. Yea i think ill just reuse it.. loctite it and hammer lock it properly.. Also.. any one know wether or not its safe to reuse the gasket when the box goes back together? Was hoping id get away with just using the old gasket and some of the gasket maker/ sealant ive already got.
  4. Yea iv just read that about 4 times now lol. Was just wondering wether part numbers for the nut and gasket, between the my96 wrx and the bh5a that the write up covers are the same as we dont have a local subaru dealer n usual parts places dont even seem to know what im talking about let alone have the ability to find one. Was also wondering if there was any other tips people myt want to add that could possibly make job faster/easier..
  5. Hey awesome write up.. Im about to do this to my 96 wrx as the symptoms seem to be exactly the same as described.. Just wondering wether the part numbers for the nut and gasket pictured would b the same for my trans as im having trouble finding any info on it and also struggling to find the parts locally since we dont have a subaru dealer in wanganui. Cheers.
  6. Hey guys. So ive got a problem with the wrx. All the symptoms point to having a loose main shaft nut on 5th gear.. pops out of 5th gear on decel. Or off throttle.. feels like shifter is being pushed out of gear on acceleration but stays in gear until i decelerate then pops into nuetral.. and doesnt like to go into reverse. And stil shifts and drives fine in every other gear.. its a 96 wrx 5 speed. Just wondering where to buy a replacement nut and if anyone has any tips on how to do it?
  7. Hey guys. Just wondering is it possible to fit a white faced ver 6 sti dash display into my ver 2 rex wagon. ? N if so how hard is it to do?
  8. Il be fitting a link g4+ as soon as possible. Would I still need a wide band unit or not? My gf8s ver. 2 btw. I believe factory boost is 10.5 psi which is where I have it currently. . Reckon itd b safe to run say 12-14psi without any other mods needed etc n no problems? Or wil ecu hav a fit amd lean out? Not Keen on melted pistons lol
  9. Lol nah im in wanganui same as mate..and no gold cam covers but may have been changed.. dno tho just goin off wat mechanic said.. iv been more a mitsi guy for last few years lol had a few subys but 10x more mitsis.
  10. No popping and farting at all now.. stil runs awesome on 15 + psi just worried about bottom end handling it lol mines a gf8 btw but my best mate has a bc5 with a tdo5 20g and gc8 sti motor and microtec ecu. The guy who told me i hav an ra block said il have factory forged internals in it.
  11. I have a full turbo back exhaust already.. and wil be gettin myself a better turbo .. probably a tdo5h. Asap. Which model does the z4 ecu come from.. ? Was under the impression the u8 ecu was pretty decent already?
  12. Also been told by an ex subaru certified mechanic ive actually got an ra engine in it. Aparently he can tell as it has the ribs on the block from the casting process.. ?.. it also has a U8 E.C.U. but only a vf10.. my new question is what do you think i could safely run boost wise with this combo ?
