I'm new to club sub and need a hand


Recommended Posts

Hay Subaru fan!!

I\'ve had this idea in my head for about 4 years now ever since i have come back from ch-ch to get in the track, drag, and rally days that happen across the north island and I\'ve just bought my brothers car off him i have chosen Subaru because of of the love i have for them. I\'ve had them before in the past and they have been very good. But..... the one i have now had been run to death so far I\'ve spent around 1500 in cash just to get the clutch and selector fork and linkage which is very cheap for what I\'ve been told and from what i know. the problem i have now is a long list of things i need to get done. buy the looks of it the cost is going to get worst the work is being done buy p&f automotive. my question is other than pick apart is there a good place to get good parts at a fine price? I\'m not ready to give up yet on getting her back on the road!!!

well i just paid 2600 just to get it drive able which got me carbon clutch, flywheel machined, sway bar link, rear caliper, rotor machined, bearing spigot, 3 and 4 synchros, 3rd fork and a wof inspection......

which i think is a god deal but as i was driving home from work i gave some revs after warm up and it started blowing grey smoke and its not holding any boost.... I\'ve looked in to this and have asked some of my friends that have had cars like mine and they say its most likely a boost leak or seals ...... plus its surging at idle

If it\'s been getting work done, and you haven\'t touched anything since picking it up and somethings going wrong, I\'d suggest getting in touch with the garage first. Soon as you monkey around with it they don\'t have any reason to fix whatever they *may* have not done up right

It could also be as simple as a hose clamp isn\'t done up or a pipe has slipped off

Sounds like a vacuum leak. If you can hear the boost wooosshhhhing like a leaking sound it will be the intercooler pipe. Otherwise its just a matter of looking in the engine bay for lose or cracked vacuum hoses. Pretty easy to find usually. And both are easy to fix

      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
