So like yeah, I think I had a boost spike or 3 at the track day today, and something has let go or melted internally.
Cos now the poor old girl has a miss at idle, smokes like a steam train at start up for about 5-10 seconds, and felt sluggish as driving home (very carefully driving home!)
So anyway, I considered some options to fix stuff.
Bin the whole thing and get something newer/ less k's etc, can't really afford that right now unfortunately.
Replacement engine, probably cheapest option at about $1-1.5k, un-known condition of engine is the only worry, and finding a RevC to match mine could be annoying.
Chuck an STi conversion at it, issue the same as option 1, $$$
RevD conversion, possibly the cheapest/ best conversion for me, as Legacy's are a boatload cheaper than Sti WRX's and I like the twin-turboeyness. Also after taking Kims RevD RSK for a couple of laps, it goes a heap better than mine does!
Anyway, is there a possibility that all my twin turbo stuff will bolt onto an STi long block, without needing any computery tuning?
Also is a non STi WRX engine the same/ similar to a GTB engine?
Anyone else got any idea's for a fix that doesn't involve a second mortgage?
