Just to pull it apart and see how bad the damage actually is, hoping the block, rods, and 3 other pistons are salvageable...
Lol doubt that mate. You fully sent it. Crank will be out of shape so as the other rods

Lol nah, they said they dont have them in stock but can get it in a week. Yea insane is a understatement. I think they mistook car for a truck 😛

Yea when I read that I was like wtf. Surely the rear doesn't need that much.
I just enquired about it on their contact page and left my email. They got back and said the street ultimate kit is most suited to some road/some track use. I then enquired about the spring rates and they said that. I haven't had the time to hit them up to ask why. Will go and see them in person and ask them about it.

Speaking or mcas. I was corresponding with the guys who do the mcas (alignment specialists). And they recommended 14kg for rear and 10kg front. That seems bit extreme to me. Would like your thoughts @Andy_Mac

Oh bugger, then what to do with the back ports? Just T them up like @Kiwi_Fozze said for the balance?
So plan is T both the front head ports to one port on catch can and then separate the crank case and run to the other port on catch can. Leaves me 2 back ports. Hmmm
-
Cheers @Gripless will have a read.
@Andy_Mac No idea why it's done that way. It's done by @Subirex Automotive
Will get them to correct it.
And yes the catch can vents to atmosphere.
So leave the front ports blocked? And T both back head ports and run to 1 port and then the crank case to another port. I do smell a lot of fumes in the cabin so I always have to keep the ac mode into internal.

Hi team,
I just thought I would review my catch can setup, especially after meeting @Kiwi_Fozze on the club sub meet night.
Car in question is my 2004 subaru legacy bp5. The intake pipe to the turbo is straight pipe and with nothing entering the intake, no maf either.
I have attached my awesome paint diagram.
The diagram is as if you are standing in front of the car and facing the engine.
The front ports on either side of the heads (marked with black box) are blocked.
The pcv not shown is also blocked.
The driver's back head port is T with crank case port and goes to the catch can
The passenger back head port goes to the other port on the catch can.
After looking online, this setup looks wrong. Please advise.

You listed out all the info, what other info do you want?

On the Full Race site they list the S257 as same wheels as the EFR "57mm Forged-Milled EFR7670 compressor wheel, optimized aerodynamics" and "Inconel 70mm turbine wheel, same blade shape as EFR7670" but then the EFR7670 says "BW utilizes their 70mm Gamma-Ti turbine wheel" so I don't know if they are different or the same?
Don't mean to hijack your thread @Andy_Mac 😅
The compressor wheel is the same, but the turbine wheel is titanium and is glued on to the shaft. The shaft is also different in the EFR series, as they would have to balance the compressor to turbine wheels.

Wow that S257 is outrageously good value.
Journal bearing though, I presume? So you don't get the magic beans of the EFR centre section, but outside of that is appears to be aerodynamically the same turbo.......
Yeap this was my go to turbo as well but had decided with the hrc35/2 but now got a 7670 ewg. But the 257sxe has a whole range of housings, where as the 7670 is limited.

Here is all the efr7163 dimensions including the g series

Good to know. I'd been assuming there would be a similar space to the GR/GV gen STI’s back there.
The length was why I was considering the 660 as it looks to have similar flow but considerably shorter than the TS internal gate EFR’s
Nah man there isn't aye. Challenging to fit turbo and the down pipe.

Internal gate, twin scroll.
The only problem with internal gate on the efr is it makes the whole turbo bloody long. As it is on the legacy there isn't much room compared to the stis etc.

Yea my issues were avcs being intermittent and not respecting the target table. Which came down to the cam pulleys, apparently it is common practice to replace the cam pulleys when rebuilding a engine. I didn't change mine when my first engine ran BEB and I didn't have the screen filters, so def some metal would've gone through it. You can rebuild them however, but its a process.
Here is a link on how to: https://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2713834
Also the avcs doesn't work when the engine is cold. The coolant temp/oil temp will need to be > 70-80 degrees. So I would suggest warming up the vehicle and then taking it for a drive and log and see if the avcs behaves.

Hey guys,
Just a wee follow up on this issue.
I had the car in at Subaru the other day for a recall and got them to check over it while it was there.
They discovered that the vacuum line to the BCS was cracking so I will go ahead and replace this.
Would someone be so kind to point me in the right direction for doing this... where to get vac line from, easiest method of removal and replacement etc.
Thinking I will replace the MAF sensor at the same time.
I got a price for one from Subaru the other day... lucky I wasn't sitting down or I would've fallen off my chair. $387+gst!
So, advice on the best place to source these would be great too.
Cheers,
Graham.
I have got a brand new maf sensor. PM me

Could be interested, depending on price.. I have a bp5 prefacelift 5mt.

Niceeeeeeeeeeeee, I take it, this was done in 3rd gear as the ratio is so high and the km/h is 140ish
-
That's good to hear. My limit will probably the injectors (912cc) and the fuel pump (dw65c). Fuel will be gull force 10 as it is better when going above 25psi.
Hitech motorsport is doing my tuning. However not on the stock ecu. I have gone the haltech way :). They generally don't do many walk ins as their clients are targa based. From what I have spoken to the owner, he is very switched on and lines up with all the research I have done as well.

SAS mostly do their runs in 1 gear lower than the gear closest to 1. So I bet that run is in 4th gear in that 6 speed. @Andy_Mac your's would've been in 5th yea
