I have one from a 97 Wrx which may do the job.
Looks like this one.
Am in welly but can ship asap.
PM if your keen

I like it, its very audish.
I imagine the STI will have a wider stance and look all the more meaner and subaruish.

Mitsi\'s GDI is renowned for carbon build up as well. especially when run on lower octane fuel.
I want to learn more about this Pseudo Adiabatic Technology they are using for cooling, everything I can find is very vague.
-
That really doesn\'t sound good.
Was the coolant level low at all? also did you get a Check engine light?
-
Had this problem on a GTB and it was the hoses from the top tank were around the wrong way (One goes back to rad from top tank and one goes from cap to overflow bottle) if you\'ve taken them off its very easy to put them back wrong, so the cooling system cant pressurize properly.
But if there right then to me sounds like a blown HG sorry mate.

I think it sounds like bump steer, where bumps in the road have an effect of steering. Putting the new wheels and tires on changes the steering axis inclination angles and the scrub radius this in combination with the stiff sideways of the tyre (like boon describes) probably makes the problem more noticeable.
Check all steering components for free play and try lowering your tyre pressures slightly. Also try getting your wheel alignment adjusted to compensate for the larger wheels it should help out a little.

I thought TD04 nz new cars had grey injectors... i may be wrong
What were the plugs you pulled out like? wet, oily, carbonated or anything like that?
-
Tricky one...
Black smoke suggests its over fueling, you\'ve checked fuel pressure and flow i\'m guessing that all checked out. Did it start doing it randomly one day or did you get hold of it like this?
Has it got the right injectors for the ECU being nz new they are smaller from memory? are they all working correctly? Fuel pump pumping properly?
O2 sensors have a large effect on subys before replacing it try checking it with a graphing multi meter (if available) and check cross count vs voltage readings.
Other than that all i can think of is a wiring issue somewhere...

I\'ve been with club auto for awhile now, haven\'t had to make a claim but with all other dealings they have been great. Even when someone scraped my car in a car-park and i just managed to get there rego, Clubauto were happy to give me there details (even though they shouldn\'t have and it wasn\'t covered under my policy).

I FOUND THE ULTIMATE OIL, ITS THE ANSWER TO ALL YOUR OIL QUESTIONS!!
http://www.chief-oil.com/chicasaw-wrx.html
Available here:
Its WRX oil !! LOL
Caution this oil "may or may not" be at all related to Subaru in any way shape or form and I highly doubt its the answer to all your questions

I\'m not going to be a w*nker and ask why. But thanks for you\'r opinion! I\'ll talk to some people and weigh out an average. That is just what Repco recommended me for my application.
The debate can commence : ...
haha it is a topic every one has different opinions on. My WRX has 160 on it now and i use 5w/40 in it (recommended 5w/30 but went to a 40 because of ks) anything 40 will be fine in yours id imagine.
My opinion stay with the 5w/40.

I meant jump start it to check if thats your problem. Not many people have a decent load tester at their dispense and taking it down to the shop means pulling it out of the car. Most people on the other hand do have jump start packs/leads so give it a kick see what happens.
This is true, and it does tell you that the battery is the problem most 99% of the time.
Another way is to connect a voltmeter to the battery and see if the voltage drops under moderate load ie rear-demist + headlights on high beam. A sort of makeshift not very accurate load tester so to speak.
-
Do you have a strut brace? have had it where the intercooler was hitting the strut brace at the weirdest of times and making what felt like suspension noise. Just something to check. The other thing it sounds like it could be to me is sway bar D bushes under the car, quiet common on falcons.
Knocking noises are a tricky one have seen many a mechanic get lost trying to find them had hundreds myself i couldn\'t find. Had one 3 specialist Jaguar techs couldn\'t find ended up being the battery sliding around knocking on its mounts, so it pays to check the little things as well.

Awesome design for an engine, if they can utilize a variable compression ratio and running on diesel it would do wonders for emissions in modern vehicles. Hope its not going to end up on the shelf like a lot of the other ones do.
-
Have you done both the D bushes on the swaybar?
Have seen heaps that look okay but make the exact same noise your describing. Only at slow speed usually when turning. Its like a clunky rattly noise, sounds like its coming from by your feet (ish).
-
Sorry to hear man, hope it comes back to ya, was it insured?
i have the exact same alarm as your one in my subaru,im starting to think these alarms are useless
I had an M60G in my subi that was attempted stolen, and that was definitely not by a professional.I think its more on the install of the alarm than the alarm itself but in saying that id never have another mongoose alarm there rubbish.

I think it will just go until your next warrant after July is a 12 month one. My next WOF will expire on the 20th of june on my 01 WRX hahaha
Might need a few days to get some stuff sorted until july...

WISH ID SEEN THIS EARLIER!!
YOUR THE MAN!!

Is a rip off is what it is, Its just a VAG-COM cable and a CD with Free SSM loaded on it.
The Vag-com cable can be bought on ebay for less than $10 and Free SSM is just that Free. Just google Free SSM and a download link will be there somewhere. The software itself is actually quite good i use it regularly.

Check for fault codes:
To get the ABS light to blink out the trouble codes do the following:
Find the black diagnostic plug under the dash by the gas pedal. There should be two loose wire taped to the loom. these are the diagnostic terminals.
Connect one of the diagnostic terminals (loose wire) to pin number 6 (bottom right looking at plug)
Turn the key to ON
It will always flash the "start code" first which will be 11. Which is one long (1 second) and one short (.3 seconds) flash. After that it should flash the rest of the codes. The first number will be long flashes and the second will be short flashes. So 21 will be two long and one short flash. It can only store up to three codes and it will repet the code flashing three times so if you miss it the first time be patient.
Codes are as follows:
Abnormal ABS sensor, open circuit or voltage too high
21 – front right ABS sensor
23 – front left ABS sensor
25 – rear right ABS sensor
27 – rear left ABS sensor
Abnormal ABS sensor, abnormal ABS sensor signal
22 – front right ABS sensor
24 – front left ABS sensor
26 – rear right ABS sensor
28 – rear left ABS sensor
29 – any one of four
Abnormal solenoid valve circuits in ABS control module and hydraulic unit
31 – Front right inlet valve
32 – Front right outlet valve
33 – Front left inlet valve
34 – Front left outlet valve
35 – Rear right inlet valve
36 – Rear right outlet valve
37 – Rear left inlet valve
38 – Rear left outlet valve
41 – Abnormal ABS control module
42 – Source voltage is abnormal
44 – A combination of AT control abnormal
51 – Abnormal valve relay
52 – Abnormal motor and/or motor relay
54 – Abnormal stop light switch
56 – Abnormal G sensor output voltage
Should give you an idea whats going on.

What do you mean by virtually no reverse? as in it engages and just flares really badly or it doesn\'t engage at all?
I would try getting the trans power flushed 1st with a wynns transmission flush machine, if that doesn\'t fix it, new box time... again haha

Scarles HDi boost controllers
in Engine Related
Posted
Sorry to revive an old topic but i found this via the HDI website and thought it might be of use to anyone who owns one/is looking at buying one.
The installation guide to the HDI Boost controller type D-SE: (their top model)
www2.hybrid-power.com/installation/installation/sbc-d-sejpg.pdf
Looks like they have a actual boost reference, all you loose out on is the gain and scramble settings you get on other more expensive models. It says it has Temperature compensation and closed loop boost regulation also...
