    Pin for 6 speed reverse lock out lever

    in Gearbox and Drivetrain

    Posted

    Hi all,

    I am looking for the pin that lets me get into reverse for my OEM 6 speed shifter. My current one is slightly bent and I have to leave the pin out by a couple of mm for it to work at the moment.

    I am hoping that someone can provide me with some details about a shop/person who can sell me a genuine one.

    Cheers :)

    Should I get a Pre-Purchase Inspection?

    in General Vehicle Discussion

    Posted

    I got my pre-purchase mechanical inspection done by Vehicle Inspection Services and they drive out to inspect the car. I am glad I did though otherwise would have bought a lemon.

    The first inspection was for a WRX STI 2002 (V8) from Great Motors and they had claimed the car had never been in an accident and was in great mechanical etc but when inspected it was in a frontal crash and they had tried to hide it well by doing the work themselves. The inspector was able to pick it up though and stopped the inspection right there (he did not even drive the car as there was no point) and only charged me for the time he was there instead of the full inspection price.

    I used the same guy for my second inspection for another V8 STI and it came out great which led me to buying it the next day. It's nearly been a year with the car and haven't had a SINGLE problem but then again the car had been maintained very well with proof of service etc. He sends you a soft/hard copy of the report too.

    In my opinion, it's always good to get the car inspected because it could save you money in the long run. Good luck with the purchase!

    Correct, stock location 3 inch inlet and no headwork. Some fellas on rexnet are making the same numbers as i am with the same turbo so im glad the numbers are normal not overly high.

    GCP's dyno is inflated as my mate got his V7 tuned a while ago and put down ~220kw on GCP's dyno and goes for a dyno day on another dyno and gets ~190kw in same sort of conditions..

    You guys are right about people trying to make their own cut on Link ECUs...Possum Bourne wanted me to get a Link ECU for my stock turbo and intake a year ago LOL...I think E H motors or Raijin would be good options but E H charge $1200 a tune..

    Hey Kris, do you have a custom built Blouch 3071? I have heard that the Blouch 3071 and 3076 turbos are crazy in spool and power

     evowrx']Im running decap pinks came out at 840cc and cost me $96 shipped to get them cleaned and flowtested thro d-tech I decapped them myself. That murch job I was running was awesome and was making similar power on 14psi at far lower IAT with my own road tuning as the gcp 227wkw tune at 20psi with VF22. But few silly decisions later and now Ive got an EJ257 AVCS and Ill be mucking round with turbo again. http://clubsub.org.nz/forum/showthread.php?28043-GF8-wrx-family-wagon

    http://clubsub.org.nz/forum/showthread.php?42569-Decapping-top-feed-injectors-how-to&highlight=decap+injector don't listen to soopers comments Im not sure why his stayed and the rest were deleted.

    Would be interesting to see how the HDi one goes otherwise seems the redline would do the job. http://clubsub.org.nz/forum/showthread.php?44585-GDB-FMIC-advice

    Thats a really nice result for that price! I might just do that when it comes to my upgrade as I think 840cc would do the job. What made you go down the ej257 route over ej207??

    Intersted to see the results dude nice plan you have there

    Yeah man, I have seen a few guys on nasioc running 1.5XTR on their ej207s on e85 hitting 300kw at the wheels.

    Have a talk to al see what he recommends. Those stx/71 whatevers seem to work well but no idea on cost. One being tested in nz soon im keen to see how it goes on an nz dyno. Gt3071 jobs seem to work well but big $$ like you say and if they **** out its over.

    You got any other mods planned or just turbo/injectors?

    I believe Al is running the 2.5XTR with 10% meth on his built 2.35L and he made over 300kw without really pushing it. I saw a few STX67/71 results on nasioc but there are mixed reviews, some people think they are laggy and dont really produce much power of the 20Gs.

    I am thinking of beginning the next stage of modding sometime next year.

    Also some of the supporting mods, I think injectors (might decap stock ones though as Brad was saying they flow quite a bit and is only a couple of hundred bucks cost), HDi FMIC, a heavy duty (and street friendly) clutch since mine is on its way out due to constant launches.

    Wbu? What are you running?

    What do you define as laggy tho dude? T/S and avcs make big differences to any turbo and help you cheat to achieve both low/top rather than having to choose. My murched td05/garrett made 20psi by 4k s/s no avcs and was a fair bit bigger than a 20g. That 221wkw tune getting old already?

    I see, Yeap the AVCS and ported heads will help spool. I was thinking of 25 psi by 4300 which would be really good for power level of 270kw+. I was also looking at Blouch 1.5Xtr with 10cm^2 t/s housing and that should easily satisfy the spool and power but that is bloody expensive.

    Haha yeah 221kw seems slow for me now since I drive the car daily and abuse it.

    Talk to ninja/spence on here for real world exp hes running a td06sl2 20g t/s iirc. I doubt you would get within a bulls roar of 270wkw with a stock td05h turbine more like 240-250wkw. Maybe if it was murched you would get there if the rest of your setup works well. Could get murch to bang something together in a t/s kinugawa housing - genuine parts and likely cheaper.

    Oh I see, no worries. As far as I know, td06 20G are known to be a bit laggy so might have to see if there is another option that has better response and top end.

    Mongoose M80G siren issue

    in Electrical

    Posted

    Hi all,

    I have a Mongoose m80G alarm in my STI v8 and the siren has stopped chirping when locking/unlocking and makes no sound when the alarm goes off.

    The lights still flash and the car still get immobilized but the siren just doesn't work. I have tried all remote button combinations found here but no luck. I have even tried turn off and turn on the siren using the siren key but still no luck.

    Would really appreciate if someone could help me out here.

    Cheers
