    Clutch - good idea bad idea

    in Gearbox and Drivetrain

    Posted

    I'm replacing a flywheel on a legacy in the near future, and since I hate taking off subaru gearboxes with a passion figure I'll change the clutch disk while it's all off

     

    Is this a good idea, it's like $200 landed

    I like the feel of a super bitey clutch as it makes me feel like dom toretto errday and I do plan on leaning on the car down the track

    Rev D reflash stuffs

    I'll chuck the rest up if someone can point me in the direction of a hosting site which won't a) self delete and b) won't make me sign up?

     

    I've got a tune for "parallel" which basically equates to something you can load on as a pretty good starting point for a single turbo setup too

     

    Oh and a couple more def files... tbh it's like looking over my old polytech notes or trying to play an old vidya game - I know that at one stage I was obsessing over understanding it, now I look at it and it's like another language xD

    This might be useful and I figured best to get it online before I go and accidentally wipe it

     

    https://ufile.io/9547e <-- ECU definition for ECUflash. I've forgotten the ins and outs of it, but you need to replace what it tries to open the legacy stock rom with, with this

     

    https://ufile.io/caf54 <-- The last tune I loaded onto my wagon, some emphasis on off-throttle pops and bangs with this one. It's pretty aggressive and my car had FMIC, 2.5" downpipes and silicone intake pipe - your mileage may vary as those things do make a marked difference to how much it wants to grenade. That said - it still runs less timing on boost than the stock rom does

     

    https://ufile.io/90b75 <-- A pretty safe tune for 95% of the cars out there, loading this on will result in the VOD being effectively gone, ping gone on gull or BP 98, and vastly improved mileage. I think it's pretty safe on 95 as well from memory but please see above

     

    I've got a dozen other variations if anyone wants them, still have stock flashes off auto and manual GTB's and I think I have an S204 (202? whatever the sti B4 is) rom renamed something stupid which was not really any great improvement other than more revs and boost bro

     

    I sold reflashed ECU's to a few in various states of modification who all came back with glowing feedback, it is a legit "best bang for the buck" thing you can do to these cars

     

    Also I'm not dead, this is just the first time I've been on my car-S*** laptop for several months (ha) - currently driving a POS cedia turbo while saving for something worthwhile

    99 b4 legacy - v7 sti conversion

    in General Vehicle Discussion

    Posted

    V5/6 legacy, forester and impreza share the same electrical basics - same AFM, idle control etc

     

    Repinning a rev a/b/c B4 to WRX spec is pretty straightforward (like, very) and you just need to do the simple hardware swap

     

    Hell you can do the ecu bit, then do the mechanicals later and run it as a simultaneous twin

     

    Or you can do the mechanicals, and con the TT computer into thinking it's still a TT and run it single. 

     

    If you are going to the trouble of paying someone to fit a V7 motor to an old legacy, for what they're worth these days it'd be cheaper and more effective to simply buy the STi in the first place - a single converted legacy is still not worth any more $$ to a bone stock one really

    Real common to do in lancers too

    To be fair it seems weird your car is having such issues, when every other subaru with a FMIC you never really hear about it (at least, not to the point of it being a problem worth solving)

    It sounds like it maybe just needs a bleed?

    Boost has nothing to do with slip, just watch the RPM and I dunno, keep your nose open haha

    If you can't make it slip on the road, then it won't slip on the dyno either. It's not some horrific super high load event, if the car can be driven now then you don't need to swap it out as a preventative measure

    If you really want to be sure (or just want to make sure it's dead) just be a bit cruel to it and see what happens, a couple of kicks will tell you if it's happy to hold on or not
