Advice wanted


WAXXON

Recommended Posts

Hi guys and gals

I\'ve got a subaru wagon (turbo) which has been parked up for over a year maybe two, and I\'ve just got a new battery. What should I do before starting the car?

Your advice and help would be appreciated.

Cheers

If it\'s sat for a year or more the oil has completely drained off and out of everything into the sump, i.e turbo bearings, cylinder bores etc. I would turn it over a good few times to get everything well coated again before it fires up, possibly by disconnecting coil packs?

Its a subaru ;) ;) Just start it. Let it idle for 15 min. Then take it for a run. Note any codes and go from there with fluid changes etc ;D i.e Give it a good service :)

i have done this many times. one i did had been sat for 5years :o :o

Engine fired first try :) Is still running ok too!

Mine sat for near on 5 years in a shed in Whangarei, I came back twice in that time and both times hooked up the old jumper cables and turned her over... Drove the 20kays into town and filled up at mobil.

Still going...

You can disconnect the crank angle sensor which will allow the engine to crank but not fire until it\'s connected.

Others feel free to correct me if I\'ve called it the wrong thing.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
