Dv8er - FSTWRX

Yea those hoses definitely need a tidy up tbh.

Model: Ver5 STi RA with Ver8 STi engine + Link G4 + a few other small things. Name of Dyno: Gary Capper Performance Date of run: 25/2/2011 Fuel: Caltex 95 It's kinda hard to read but it says 235.8kw atw

Talon Triangle tyres are absolute crap. Had them on my ute and it just wanted to skid off the road all the time. Upgraded to Neuton NT5000 which aren't super flash tyres either, but absolute miles better then the Triangles. So chances are having crap tyres on front + alright ones on the back = understeer.

Yup, there not too expensive either. R154 supra GB's are better but cost 3 times as much. My factory hilux GB is lasting pretty well too really. Lol the diffs last ages yea but they're a LSD that may aswell been an open dif which sux.

Is it really a good conversion ??? They replaced a WRX engine with a V8, it might sound slightly better (each to there own) but it's a fair bit slower, slightly heavier, uses more gas and would of cost more then replacing it with another wrx engine lol. Mind you they seem to be a bit more reliable. haha

If it's a single scroll setup then no. You will need sump, headers, up-pipe and down-pipe to suit Twin scroll.

+1 for the HKS Silent Hi Power. Mine's 3" from turbo back and it's still nice and quiet just cruising around. WOT it starts to come alive. Use to have an RPS system, was probably the best sounding exhaust if you really like the Subaru rumble but it was ridiculously loud, hence why I switched to HKS.

Been driving a Aurion a bit lately and was surprised at how much get up and go they have, would probably give a 6cyl falcon/commy a run for its money. FYI the Camry of the same year is essentially the same car with a smaller motor that uses the same amount of fuel. If they weren't so dam ugly it would be all good haha.

I'll second that. He is in the same building as PBMS these days anyway.

Yesterday did an oil change, fitted Lamco oil temp sensor/bung and oil pressure sender I got from G-unit. Finally have all the gauges going again!

Bends? It should be wires not pipe I would have thought. Is it running off a Narrow band o2 Sensor? New gauge won't do jack shit then. You need a Wide band sensor ideally.

Took the Ute in for a WOF. Failed. Didn't know you could fail on a small stone chip if it's in your line of sight of the road, tbh didn't even notice there was even a chip there lol. Ah well new Windscreen time I guess. As for the car, gave it a look over (fluids, tyres etc) ready for my trip down to Palmy tomorrow arvo/night.

Yup it hasn't been updated since feb/march some time haha

;D

Have you tried a Factory BOV yet Jase?

Specifically Single Scroll I assume? Know of a few people with Twin Scroll stock extractors and up pipe around and above 240kw

It will have a Pressure Sender for the Oil Pressure Gauge, which replaced the Oil Pressure Switch. Car once had Lamco Oil Pressure, Oil Temp and Voltage Gauges.

Yea there is a thread around here somewhere in which Koom had a formula for working out actual torque figures. CBF searching for it though lol

Yea that loom they're talking about will be for the AVCS. Been there, done that... Was it just a Plug and Play G4 rather then a Wire in?

If all else fails I'll be heading down that way in a month. Probably be taking the ute so plenty of room for wheels.

Re-soldered a pile of wires in the Ute that were done poorly by the previous owner or whoever he got to do it.

Reminds me of this MkII escort http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.188430624505652.55535.112910852057630&type=1 Def not a crime.

Use to have EVOETR number plates by the looks. http://www.clubsub.org.nz/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=453 Hamilton Member.

If you're referring to the TT legacy's having more turbo's as being better...well... that sux for you really.
