[Wanting a Boost controlling need to decide between two types.]

If you have a v7 upwards I recommend a Grimspeed 3 port valve which replaces your stock valve. You need a retune for this but gives awesome partial throttle response and quick spool. (I run one and get 20psi at 3350 and taper to 19psi at redline on a vf30), Can also get 20psi in 1st and second gear.

Edit: also means ecu can cut boost and adjust with different intake temperature, altitudes etc

[Strippers!!]

hahah I was wondering what you were up to.

On another note its not a bad show!, some parts a bit corny though.

[What have you done to your car today?]

Haha yeah it\'s a prick! Helped a mate with his and we left the manifold on and just lubed up the new one and slid it in, still took probably 3hours haha.

Well, the whole manifold is off...

Nice, what are you doing to it?

[What have you done to your car today?]

hub caps are just stickers off Ebay, don\'t think they are going to last as there is just not enough surface area for them to stick to, planning on buying some generic blank clip in ones and then get the same stickers for them.

DZ101\'s? i\'ve driven on them before, really like them. and holy crap those rims look good!!!!

Yeah I quite like them as a tyre, and thanks, I told myself I would never waste money on rims but couldn\'t resist it when these came up.

Bought a Walbro fuel pump off Pro Wholesale, I received it at a great price and got fantastic service from Brendon.

Nah just had a quick search for you, did the instructions in the post work at all? Or pm me a log in the link format and ill try figure it out for you.

Instructions are about halfway down ;D

Whats the program?

I use virtual dyno where you load in a 4th gear log from 2k till redline and enter weight and gear ratio, it will also plot boost and air fuel ratio (if you have a wideband)

would anyone here be interested in getting their car reflashed as well? the guy said that he would just charge a day rate if i can get a few other people.

What is the tuners name? I know someone who might be interested.

[What have you done to your car today?]

Fitted my 3 port solenoid, calibrated my wideband and then started re-tuning the car with my tuner. I must say 19psi in First gear is flippin awesome!

[What have you done to your car today?]

Drove back to chch from picton, car ran really well. My new grimmspeed 3 port solenoid arrived as well so fitting tomorrow and also getting a retune.

[BP facing 98 supply issues]

Haha nah your spot on Ben!, I\'m quite glad I got my car tuned on 95 now, I still think its rubbish how the south island is losing 98 because I still ran it when I could and It will piss a lot of people off.

[exhaust advice]

Just have what the xforce system came with which is a high flow cat, and I think that is all, the Genome really keeps the noise down off boost and never drones.

[exhaust advice]

I a full xforce 3" turbo back and swapped out the rear muffler to a genome, it went from being very loud to purring under idle and cruise and really roaring when you put the foot down and want some noise, would defiantly recommend one. Search my user on YouTube and I have a short video I put up.

[V3 sti only runnin 8psi??]

Have a look at the picture Timmah posted and refer to line 1 which should contain a little restrictor pill.

[V3 sti only runnin 8psi??]

With an electronic controller or a 3 port solenoid you do not need a pill, only the stock 2 port solenoids require them.

make sure you have a boost pill in the line from the compressor cover too

+1, you will only run on wastegate pressure without the pill in place.

[How to avoid a big end bearing?????]

 loner said:

Change your oil a lot in a turbo... personally I think 5 to 7.5 kms is way too much... I\'d go for 3000 km max on a daily driven car... if you are doing any track work, change the oil and filter before and immediately after.

A full synthetic being daily driven will no way break down that quickly, a lot of guys in the states get oil analysis done and the general consensus is 5-7.5 is fine.

[How to avoid a big end bearing?????]

As has been said above, good quality oil changed regularly (5-7.5k) and as important if not more important is a great tune optimized for the fuel you use.

[Anyone used these oil filters?]

Never used one but IMO can\'t beat a genuine filter from Subaru, made in Japan for $21, $39 seems far too expensive.

why subarus are still so easy to get into and start is more of a mystery to me after 10 years of development

It is mainly the jap import ones, all the NZ new from v9 up (I think) and american wrx and sti\'s have built in immobilizers within the ecu which are quite hard to bypass.
