Easy fix fella. As said above make sure 2 faces are clean where the dust sheild goes into housing run screw driver around there also then put light Nickle coat in that grove area. Light amount. Then if you have a propain torch or gas set heat up that edge around exhaust housing. Not alot . All warm to touch is enough. Heat exspands it some put,core on top put bango clamp on let cool. Thats how i do them worked every time was shown how to do that by turbo speacilist years ago. The heat trick on exhaust housing lip is also good for dismantling aswell instead of big hammer bashing it lol

As Loren has said. Take it in. So its a increse of 15% increase in displacement it will.
So ej20t twin-single no
Factory ej20-ej2.2 then yes.
20-2.5 yes.
Non turbo-turbo yes will need it.
You could have a 300kw turbo engine in factory turbo car. No. Be aware its up to Wof guy if it doesnt drive straight or stop like it should. Then shouldnt get a Wof. Most Wof guys if its 2ltr with bolt ons will just want to make sure it stops well.

What about the alloy bottom arms being differant. As per track measurments above.

Great idea for a thread boon.
1 thing i think that lacks at most workshops is accountabilty for what goes on at these places. We all spend as you have said time & hard earned cash on these cars. & basicly you show up they get you to sign a form sayn they are cleared of any & all fault should something goes wrong. Use health n saftey as an excuse so you carnt see when they are doing tuning or major work. While i understand they are doing there work people should be able togo check out there car being tuned or hell in this dayn age live feed it being done. Pricing is my other gripe. These places charge like a wounded bull i work for my self & understand we all have bills to pay but when you read not only on this forum but other what people are being told for cost is just down right robbery. Like the Wof standards being reveiwed here & more than likly cause of it we are all guna end up paying more for our wofs these places need to get there heads out of the clouds on what they charge for services. Tobe honest i pick up alot of work because they guys storys of what they have to charge for not only modification work but even just servicing work.
But look forward to readn other comments

Nope but bg legacy 250T with red injectors rails will fit your manifold & then will fit V5-6 injectors.

Ive been making the bracket for awhile. I know they arent a fan of the alloy strip type mounting brackets & alway made them from m/s. Only thing they did change regs on was exstungusher clamping bracket has 2 straps not 1.

I have just brought my Fire Extinguisher for the Track day at Flat Nats next week and have a couple of general queries.
Where is the best place to locate it (is there a specific place it needs to be?)
I was thinking of mounting it either just in front of the passenger seat or on the trans tunnel next to the centre console.
Any help would be great.
I will be leaving in the car full time now so would like it to be out of the way for the wife when shes a passenger.
If its a bracket from person running flatnats they are made to fit the passengers/drivers front seat mount bolts. But could go anywhere you like realy. If you make your own just make sure to use nylock nuts on the exstingusher bracket mount to steel. It wouldnt be fun if rattled loose

Hello as i said to your dad when he rung me about the parts. With the hp your engine is running & hes already said your blowing 5 speeds now your best option is 6 speed. Dont see point in getting 5 speeds rebuilt if you know they are going to blow.

As per title from upper hutt
New paint on front half car 2 1/2 exhaust with rear twin pipe muffler sti pink shocks 16' speedlines. Pretty much factory car but has a couple small things that will make car stand out. Was towed away full alarm next to no gas fuses & sensors disabled while i had it parked where it was. Apears to be 1 of 3 stolen last night.

The problem is you have to use that up-pipe, instead of putting a flange where everyone else does (stock position) they use that silly j-pipe arrangement so you are stuck with it.
I have modified this style of headers by deleting the silly Oring set up & putting flanges on instead & as mentioned above get ride of the flexi in up pipe. But you are correct horrible headers.

Think it was kiwi cams in pn that royally F***ed up @funkytown ones.
Yeah that was a while ago. But i still wouldnt go there. Have cams valve spring. Getting steel type machine up would work. May be contact Jason lefting & see if hes able to.
-
Ah sorry will adjust it. Yes for v3-4 i have heard of some bad story with timing marks being out. So while a name brand will/should be reliable they are just so costly
-
As per my title. Going to modified camshafts. looking at what others are using. Comments,thoughts. Done a bit of searching & finding they are either gold $$ or not very accurate .
Thanks

Hey,
Turbo on my car is not performing properly, not sure if it was caused by big-end bearing failure or vice versa. Engine has since been replaced so seems like I should do something about the turbo.
"Total Turbo" have quoted me around $450 for a rebuild assuming it's a simple job (fit OE rebuild kit, rebalance). That seems like a really good price. Wondering if anyone has dealt with them before?
Alternatively, I've found a TD04-HLA for $695 from a wrecker w/ 30 day warranty which seems reasonable.
What would you do? I don't want to try and improve performance of car (MY04 Legacy BL GT), just restore to original spec.
Ive been using david for turbos on my own car & mates customer cars for years. Never had an issuse or have they. Good to deal with & has been involved in diffrant areas of motorsport for a number of years. Check out his fb page. Or if your local happy to show you turbos hes built for me.

More of a race car mod but has anyone removed their cars underseal? One step furter to the usual interior sound deadening removal. Was thinking media blasting would do the trick and then a thin coat to reseal the metal.
If the car is totaly stripped out then propane torch & a scrapper. Doesnt need alot of heat toget it off. Wear gloves for sure. & media or sandblasters wont go near it as it blocks all there in floor filters

To be honest as soon as you said it was a bit mickey-mouse I started wondering the same.
It's one of those unfortunate things where I think he started out with the best intentions but was let down by being a perennial bull****ter
A couple of peopl ihave spoken with called him" The Wizard" lol

Rim right in palmy are good. Theres engineering shop in naenae "Halcrow engineering". Does alot of good work. But looming at that its a major. Even if you could get it repaired. I would never use a repaire rim as track wheels. Some wheels are cast & once repaired they dont have the strength around the repaired area. Forged wheels you also have to take care when repairing.

Do you have the part numbers for the Version 8 STI gearbox syncrhos? It would help me out so much as I am looking to replace all of them.
I can 100% say don't ring the subi branch in Hamilton or lower hutt. Gave them gearbox code & what year car it came from. But couldn't give him exact chassis code so they gave me "there's 3 different gearbox's with that code for that year. If you don't have the correct chassis code bla bla bla. "
