    Fuel pump not priming after cluster swap

    in Impreza, Crosstrek and XV

    Hey guys, new to this forum. So long story, i bought a 2005 uk spec v9 with a blown engine a couple of months ago. Me being me i wasnt happy with how it didnt have dccd and all those other cool features so i bought a complete jdm v8 harness and swapped that into the car (no biggie) after fixing issues of swapping over door actuators and all that other stuff i didnt think about. I go to turn the key to check all the accessorys opperate, windows, doors lights ect. Did i mention i bought a 260km dash out of a s204. With out the cluster plugged in the fuel pump primes, with the cluster in the fuel pump wont primes, obviously its a pinout issue with the cluster. But i wanted to know if anyone has the answer before i start diagnosing (painfull for me since im a fabricator not an electrician lol).

    Also, when you go to unlock the car with the key the drivers door will unlock but the rest of the doors wont, if you press the lock/unlock all doors button on the drivers switch panel all the doors will work as they should. The door key lock has 3 wires coming off it but theirs nothing for them to plug into on the 03 loom. Any ideas? 

     

     

    You may have some more luck with the UK sites, but definitely interesting what you're doing. 

     

    When you say V9, do you mean Hawkeye or the mechanically revised blob eye? 

     

    The issue I believe you'll be having is down to the difference between pinouts for sure. Interesting that the Fuel pump relay runs through the dash. Doesn't make sense as to why it'd do that.

    So, I've been tinkering with my Legacy a lot for the last couple weeks

     

    I've replaced front and rear shocks as the originals were poked.

    Replaced the Brake rotors and pads on all four corners

    Fixed the Stereo wiring issues. 

    Fixed the trims around the car. 

    Replaced the ignition barrel

    Wheel alignment

    Oil change for gearbox and engine

     

    Got it tuned by @Pappu1 

    Unfortunately, and quite frustratingly, there's a lot of knock with my engine during tuning. Not really conducive. 

    What I do know that's an issue is this. 

    There is a boost leak, I can hear it under WOT, and I know for a fact it's causing over fueling. 

    Cold start up fuel smell. Typical of this MY Legacy.

     

    Looks like I'll be pulling the intake manifold off this car and replacing all the fuel line hoses, and any VAC hoses / problematic boost hoses. Could also be a blown out manifold gasket, but I've not heard of that before tbh.

     

    Part of me wants this thing to blow a turbo so I can put a single turbo setup on it, but the other part of me loves a good twin setup and wants to make this work. Just god damn the amount of VAC hoses in this thing is F*cking nightmare

    /me sighs. Bloody typical LOL

     

    Replaced the power steering pump, which was still broken but wasn't the thing causing all the noise it turns out. 

    It was the Alternator. Good lawdy lol. 

     

    In any case, I'm still getting to the track this weekend. Even if it means stealing the alternator from the legacy while I'm at the track. LOL

    Have they had the rally car up these ways for a while or something? There’s been a SAS truck round the corner from my work on and off for the last month or so
    Yeah it's been up for after coromandel rally and Jason flew up Thursday I believe to grab the truck and his new toy and drove to hams.

    [mention=17449]Dairusire[/mention] should have come to the Drag day, dont need powersteering to drive in a line
     
    Glad its not all bad though, sounds like its going good and a PS pump is easy compared to the drama you have behind you.  
    Haha I had things on on Sunday so no mas. Yeah power steering pump is a piece of cake realistically. Got a replacement pump on the way and will swap it tomorrow.

    So, flatnats for me was... Expensive... And I didn't even get to go lol

    Bit of a rant ahead.

    Wednesday, phenolic spacers into the RA.

    Took a half day on Thursday. Drove the RA down to Hamilton and met up with@gotasuby for a road tune on the old girl.

    Safe to say, it definitely is a Ej205. But its now quicker than ever! Flex fuel, two stage launch control, boost by gear, all the good stuff..

    Bring in Friday!

    Up on stands, go to remove the wheels, last wheel, last nut...why is this spline nut different to the others... Can't find the correct spin drive or a socket of metric or imperial size that will fit...

    Decide to do something else productive in the meantime.
    Fix the bushes for drive shaft onto RA. one of the new bushes I bought have gone missing... Just an FYI, the pilot bearing for your clutch fits perfectly and is the right size ;)


    Absolutely need wheel off car...
    Become a brute, bash on a 16mm socket I no longer need and remove. New set of wheel nuts it is.

    Drop wheels off to Bridgestone, to get Hankook slicks put on.

    Take friends car to get windscreen fixed. They said 30mins. It was not 30mins.... Much longer..

    Go pick up tyres, pick up car trailer..hmm legacy is too low... And rear shocks are coozed... I haz spares! Put wheels on RA to move it so I have flat space to do legacy shocks...

    Strips out a stud on hub... But I haz spares!
    Replaces all the studs on rear right wheel.
    While my Mrs sos messages @94 Leone for a 'plz. Drew needs halp'

    Harley arrives and does legacy suspension on driveway in 25mins.

    I fix alternator tensioner with new bolt so it'd stay in place.
    Fix small coolant leak from water pump hoses.

    Do heatshielding. No longer cook things. Yeah good.

    8pm.. Am done... Cars finished and tidied up, has new fluids, heatshielding, new wheel studs, slicks, tune, phenolic spacers, new suspension in legacy so it doesn't drag its ass all the way to pukekohe.

    Start car. Heinous noise from power steering pump. It's coozed.. I haz no spares...

    Sometimes things just don't go right and the stars don't align. Sorry to those who I said I'd be there. Things just didn't want to work out.

    So, what do you think would be a sensible option for things to do on your car, just a week out from getting it tuned?

    Pull the dash out obviously!

    To be fair, it was sorely needed. So much old wiring. I also fixed my central locking at the same time. Not bad for a couple hours of work.

    Now... Time to put that dash back in, change all the exhaust manifold gaskets, put in my 10mm phenolic spacers and find other things I can break. Good times. a3db073d150c0b9ffee7cc4339781a02.jpgcda29e777f0829fec53be1979ee2c357.jpg

    Mine isn’t nitrided since it came from a 2009. 
    Plus has tiny hairline scratches. Still within spec but nicer to have the 2012 or whatever nitrided version. 


    You can always get a crank nitrated bud ;) seriously. Costs about $150-180 my center thrust crank is nitrated.

    Flatnats 2019 Auckland friends wanted...

    in General Vehicle Discussion

    Posted

    So unfortunately I cannot get the time off work to drive all the way up to Flatnats this year but I still want to make it out there. I'm thinking of flying up but this could only work if someone who is planning on attending both days would want to let me tag along with them in their car. I could just uber everywhere but that does seem anywhere near as fun.
     
    I would be happy to swing some fuel-money/banter/beers in exchange. I'm thinking of flying up to Auckland on Friday night and leaving on Sunday night. 
     
    Also if anyone wants to lend a couch/carpet for me to sleep on that would be even more awesome, i'm not fussy.
     
    I haven't booked anything yet
     
    Let me know if you can offer any of the above and I would be forever grateful, cheers lads.


    I’m planning on going to both events. I’ll be trailering my RA and towing it with my legacy, so could take yah round

    I'll kick us off. I'll most likely be getting:

     

    1. DBA T3 4000 front and rear rotors
    2. DBA XP+735 pads

    For now, plus a stack of other parts if this guy buys my motor. 

     

    Personal opinion, but I'd buy Dixcel over DBA. More consistency and better wear over time.

    Also REALLY good on the track.

    Yes had a but to do with it as local npd which is 5 mins away has it and cheaper than 98. Definitely more knock resistance. Would highly recommend for anyone with a sgt, bp turbo or rev d legacy 

     

    So a follow up to this, have you guys been able to discern any difference between using a 98 mix ethanol and 100 octane with ethanol? opinion?

     

    Also, what are the prices like down there (actual figure if you've got one)

    weather the hubs will just be a direct bolt on swap

     

    Yes, but you WILL need adjustable suspension to suit the BC5 that have a lower clevis that suits the front hubs wider mounting point. That is a non-negotiable. 

     

    aka BC5 struts, and V9/10 STi lower clevis.

    weather or not an auto drive shaft will work with the 6 speed

     

    There are drive shafts that fit, I don't know exactly which one. @RaKid Knows as he's done it recently.

    can i also just swap the r160 flange onto the r180

     

    Yes, you can do this.

    I don’t mean to sound like a prick, but a headshop or shop that’s doing heads and don’t know or can’t find the clearances for said heads, probably shouldn’t be doing the job... instead of asking the customer for answers.
