Hmm that's very confusing then as it would appear after reading through all 10 pages in this thread that people with Rev D have done it...
Well, the thing is that you're changing of the hoses on the revisions A/B/C to match what Rev. D should be.
So if you're changing something on the Rev. D, then something ain't right haha.
Also, since Rev. D is reflashable, just take it to SAS and get a tune
Safer and better than doing a mod to bring boost pressure up haha

Sorry old thread drag up! - I looked at doing this mod to my BE5 i noticed the hose between the two tees that you remove has a restrictor pill in it should this pill be there?
Hose 10 mod isn't applicable on the Revision D as far as I know

I'm actually curious, if a car is stolen but the thieves are caught in the stolen vehicle (aka, what happened above), does the owner of said vehicle still have to pay the excess on the car?
Also, great to hear the car got recovered.

Hahahaha not a lie my friend! I'd definitely say that's what happened to the first one, the second engine? Naaaah but that's a long story.Three engines might be more a reflection of how you're driving rather than the oil that's going into it Haha.

What is the theory behind sticking to one type of oil once you've used it once?
Oh, that's simple. Different oils are for the different cars I've had
And engines! Forgot about that. RA has had 3 engines so far in my ownership lol

So I’ve done some searching and all I find is second and third hand accounts about their fitment and quality. Is there anyone here that’s recently owned one of their front mount kits that can share info? My biggest complaint from the description is that the fog lights have to go but some first hand fitment and quality info would be awesome.
It really depends on the car, but regardless, Subaru's are simply crap for fitting a front mount in, period. There is nearly ALWAYS some cutting that has to happen somewhere, and it's soul crushing.
However, onto topic about redline is you really get what you pay for. Their Cores and piping kits are the same generic cookie cutter crap you get from china, but sold here in NZ.
They're also cheap.
It's not to say the cooler won't do it's job, it's just not that great.
I had to cut and bead my intercooler piping to make it fit in the engine bay and also had to cut the bumper 'beam' (more like a piece of tin that does nothing if I'm honest) to make the bends fit around to the core. Thats un-doable though as you can just go buy a new bumper beam.
My honest opinion though, after getting the kit, is to just buy something that is probably on the expensive side, but you know is quality made.
Or Take it somewhere and have it done.
Otherwise you're guaranteed to have to mess around and you will need to cut something somewhere and some point. No matter what.
-
Good to hear you got a spare! They're often quite cheap however. Can pick em up brand new for probably less than $10
-
See, the big thing is just getting the weight right. Honestly, these days most good brand oils will do the job perfectly.
I use Penrite, I have used Catrol Edge, Motul, Valvoline, blah blah blah.Full Synthetic, decently priced stuff will do you well ($60-80 or higher but thats your choice), but once you've put something in the car, just stick to it.
However, as the above, Generally Motul is highly rated as far as motorsports go. It does come with a price tag associated with it however.

The answer is yes you can do it easily if you're using a Rev.D ecu and engine.
The single turbo conversion thread should help and then you can talk to @Pappu1 and he can remap your ECU to work with the single turbo.-

So other than figuring out all the extras like injectors belts and bolts cost add up fast.
Still not sure what the difference between $1000 and $600 injectors are when the are both the same cc and Bosch or denso.
I started to clean up the intake manifold and discovered there are large casting marks just around the last bend for #4.
Not just normal seam castings but a 1-2mm raises 10mm diameter circle.
Carbides and sanding pads don’t reach.
#2 also has one but it not right on the start of the curve.
Also it looks like since the #4 runner is so low and flat it gets to collect the most oil that gets into the intake.
The manifold is also 4mm smaller diameter than the TVG’s so much more grinding to do.
Just have to make sure it’s all lined up.
So, heres a bit of information that I'm aware of in regards to injectors.
Injector Dynamics command a much heftier price because of the following:
All your injectors are matched to very close similar specs. For example, my set of ID1300x2's all flow 1331cc each. Meanwhile a factory set of bosch or potentially other companies may vary by a few cc to 10 or 20. Depends on their quality control and matching.
ID use proprietary internals and nozzles for their injectors (at least going off their videos and marketing guff), which they claim is superior.
The likes of FIC etc may have different processes but from my understanding their matching and nozzles and internals of the injectors while aren't bad, are more in lines of the factory item they're modified from. So matching might not be as close as what you'd get from ID.
-
Pretty much what Zeus said.
Also, cambelts aren't hugely expensive. Just have it done yourself with a full service and keep a service log if the car doesn't have one already.

What Inked said is the best practice.
If you've seen the likes of @RaKid's engine bay, and you want quality work (Not saying the others suggested aren't at all) then BD Motorsport is a place I'd recommend. A close friend of mine who used to work for them, and is now working for Cameron Racing in the states for GT stuff, says their work is top notch and Ben is really good at his stuff.

That we all have!!Haha bugger. We've all made silly mistakes like that before.
In other news. Slapped the new battery in because well its been 4 years minimum since the last one.
It runs! It was a bit rough to start but once kicked over that was it. Took it for a quick little trip up the road to the petrol station to check the tyre pressures and all is well there.
No longer is the RA unable to move under its own power! Finally she's alive

Today is the day I got to eat some of my own humble pie. I have as such come here to repent for my sins.
Turns out I was totally off the mark and am a complete oaf when it comes to wiring. Yep you heard it, got it about as wrong as you can get. Simply put I didn't terminate the positive OR negative well enough and that was all. Had nothing to do with the patch loom I bought.
As such, the wideband is working now but the battery is stuffed... Onto the charger it is!

Another dumb question, is CAN actually turned on on your ECU? Link has telemetry turned off from factory apparently.
Not sure how it applies for sensor inputs but needs to be on for outputs such as gauges/displays
No such thing as a dumb question! I was hoping user error myself, because user error is far simpler to fix time wise. It is unfortunately/fortunately(???) turned on and all configured correctly as confirmed by Adam at link.

Unless the Link is internally terminated it should have one unless the loom is super short and simple.
Doesn't explain the volt drop though. Could be they didn't strip one of the wires properly so there isn't a decent connection between the wire and terminal.
Yeah the loom is at maximum 1.4M accounting for all connections on all sides. 200mm for wiring from Lambda, 1M for the extension loom, and 200MM for the pinout loom into ECU. That's it.
It's about as simple as it gets. I'm going to try slicing open the heat-shrinking tonight and fixing this as I want the car running.
The voltage drop is my key point of issue, but I'll re-terminate the whole lot if I have to.
EDIT:
To also add, I grabbed the link wideband/lambda unit, removed the extension loom from the equation, and plugged it directly into the pinout loom, which makes it a 400mm run. It still wouldn't work or detect. Just if you're curious.

@Dairusire Have you actually pulled the pins out of the connectors/ pulled heat shrink to see how they’ve wired in the resistor?
No I haven't, but I called them and they've stated that there isn't a resistor in the wiring.
1 hour ago, Gripless said:Canbus is 3.3v or 5v like most logic circuits isn’t it?
In this example, no. I don't know much about other units, but the Link CAN-Lambda specifically requires 12v as specified in it's wiring diagrams.

Got the new wiring for the CAN stuff and installed it completely today. tried turning on, nada.
After lots of more testing for something that should've been a 10 minute job, it turned into hours of head scratching.
Turns out after voltage/continuity/resistance testing on the ECU side pre-terminated stuff I got isn't doing great.
Voltage in the line 1cm before connector... 12.8V...
Voltage at the connector terminal??? 3.3V.
and obviously with a bunch of resistance all over the place
Oh kay then.Can I haz my $40+gst back now?

So other than my random purchases of the day, at lunch I went down to BD Motorsport and got the blow off valve welded on! Looks blimmen good if I don't mind saying so myself.
Also check out the size of this turbo!!! Huuuuuuge Garrett. Can literally put my whole hand in the intake it's so large.
Couple shots of how I've got the fuel system stacked in there. it's a bit tight and could do with some more alignment but for the time being it'll do well.

I've been using IMGUR for years. They're consistent, it's easy to upload the photos and managable

SocketCAN?
Some CAN bus interface cards can have pre filters you can set so they only pass through those events that come from a select address range to the serial/USB port connected to the laptop or Pi.
I wonder if it's got that, but I doubt it at it's price point. Think it's just socket.

This looks bad-ass. I'm very limited with the logs on my G4 - do you know if I can purchase or make something like this to have infinite log storage?
Photos!
Easy peasy!
For those who are putting in CAN stuff, I'd honestly suggest just buying these patch looms instead because honestly it makes life easier.
Also acquired the plug and terminated loom for the Fuel pressure sensor to make things easier.
All of this stuff can be gotten from the obvious NZEFI but it's not hugely cheap but it saves your own time and hassle.
Oooohh and Haltech also make this as well, which I'm likely going to buy because I do expect I'll expand my range of CAN equipment.

I got bored of trying to figure out what was wrong with my wiring for the link CAN lambda. $100 later I've bought CAN Wiring to plug into link to the wideband
