    G4 Dyno Tuning Auckland

    Just wondering if there is a agreed best place to go to get my v6 Sti Ra tuned. Got the G4 Plug and Play and done all the small prep stuff I want to but just hoping you guys can point in the best place to get it done.

    few things on the car. vf22, full 2.5" turbo back exhaust, Semi tuned headers with 3" up pipe, 500hp Walbro fuel pump, cold box with pod.

    Havent done anything with the injectors and dunno if I can be bothered. See what it can do with that.

    Cheers.

    semi headers are the best, rids of the dumb subaru noise, 3" upipe??? really that big?

    if your keen for a drive to sunny hawkes bay we have WRC developments which charge $800 inc GST

    and they know there stuff, if you have a G4 I would opt for a change in injectors, but the yellows will do the job.

    I thought the sedans were RS and the wagons were GT?

    /quote]

    RS manual, GT auto. can be either sedan or wagon

    Just to jump on the band wagon

    Incorrect

    Manual Sedan = RS

    all other shapes and gearboxes = GT

    this is how it is and always has been

    I had a \'91 GT wagon factory 5 speed

    there was also BG RS versions that were auto i didnt believe it at first

    same thing happened to me last two weeks, I changed everything ICV, BOV, BOV spring, still nothing, turned out it was my alternator the whole time, when it was cold the car was fine idled okay (link, no afm,untuned at the moment) anyway when the car got hot ,or the normal op temp the fans would come on causing the car to idle hunt really bad till it stalled... turned out my alternator was putting out 13.5V on idle and when the fans came on, it dropped to 12.2V, rebuilt my alternator and we are good :)

    just a another avenue for you try

    cheers

    B4 Legacy engine swap manual - Auto block

    it will work, but it wont be as good as your old eng, as im pretty sure your old eng is EJ208 (good heads, bigger injectors etc)

    that auto one will have different heads internally, but should be able to use the long block and bolt your ej208\'s intake/exhaust manifolds on, and your away. just remember that engine wont be as good as a Ej208 performance wise, but it should be good just to get you going

    morning, i think i have my catch can installed incorrectly, I have been driving around like this for the past month, it just doesn\'t seem right???? (bear in mind my car isn\'t tuned yet)

    anyway out of the crankcase is the factory v3/v4 2 outlet fitting to which I have one of the outlets going directly to the PCV valve and the other is T\'d with the drivers side head, towards the catch can as per pic, passenger side head goes straight to the catch can, im pretty sure something has to be connected to the intake somewhere...

    anyway here is a pic of how i setup

    yellow lines are the rocker cover breathers

    red is pcv

    single turbo question bg5b

    in Legacy & Outback

    Posted

    so Ive purchased this 5spd (factory) gt 97 wagon 170km for $300 complete(live plates),good score!! from a workshop cause they cant get the loom correct....(no idea!) but the engine they put in was a EJ20H from a bg5a. now obivous problem is they didnt use the orignal loom for the BG5B instead fitted the complete bg5a eng with loom( nothing has been cut ) now its not starting...

    anyway my question is ive stripped the intake manifold off the block, in prepartion for the correct bg5b intake manifold .. how easy is it to just put a v3 ecu in it, v3 intake manifold and loom to make it single turbo? i realise i have to take the exhaust manifold off , block LHD head etc..

    any help would be apprecited

    or should i just keep twin? and put the original intake manifold on?

    thanks
