Bought a cheap as Legacy to turn into a track hack.
Yay, no more abusing the daily!
-
Got it running again, weee!!

It was the cambelt timing being all over the place.
It must have been all over the place with the cambelt that was on it, because I just replaced it and put the new one on the same.
Checking it with the instructions with x teeth here xy teeth there etc, it was a mile out, luckily doesn't seem to have bent anything.
Now to reset the boost controller and lock the screw in place this time!!
PS: Doing anything to the cambelt without removing the radiator is a prick, not recommended!! My arms now look like I've been in a fight with a Honey Badger.

Coolies!
Will check that as well.

Did you check the fuel pressure with a gauge?
Narp, just the old unhook line, turn ignition on, watch fuel squirt out.
Not very sciencetifical, just lets one know the pump is moving some fuel.
I wonder if the injectors are all clogged up from the engine sitting around for ages?
The exhaust does smell of fuel after cranking it tho, so they are doing something.
-
Has it got spark? Are the coil plugs around the right way, black plugs at the rear and white at the front?
Havent actually checked spark yet, it started raining, and I had had enough bleeding for one day...
Plugs are around the correct way I think, if the wiring hasn't been messed with then one of them only reaches the correct coil, I'll check that too, just in case some derping has happened.

So I got the engine in and everything hooked/ filled up today.
But now it wont start, I have checked fuel pressure, and all the earths.
It cranks fine, and seems like its trying to fire, just wont quite catch.
No CEL's showing.
I checked the cambelt alignment at least 3 times, before I put the covers on, so Im 99% sure its not that.
If I hold the throttle open it makes thumping noises out the exhaust, like its trying to fire.
Any idea's oh denizens of the interwebs?
-
Finally got the f#$%^g stuck engine mount nut off!
Not to get the engine out, swapsie all the bits over, and put the newer engine in.
At least its not raining.

Right, so I have a replacement engine, heads have 003 and 005 on them, VF31 primary turbo, so it should be the same as my original.
I don't think it has done many k's at all, it looks immaculate as far as hoses and other things that deteriorate with heat and age go.
So where is the best place to get a cambelt kit from?
Has anyone got any of the ones listed in the link below by subtech?
-
Bought a new engine for it.
Which looks like its done about half the k's of the old borken one!

I am the EcuLabs distributor for Australia, I have stock on exchange all the time. Got V5/V6 STi, WRX, 98~00 B4 Twin Turbo and 98~00 Forester GT in stock
ESL is good value for what it is AND it is easy to use if you have used EcuFlash before
What can you guys do with a RevC B4/GTB twin turbo ECU?
-
If anything an a-b might be a better bet? If you're planning on winding lots of boosty boosty into it or going single down the track the lower comp might give you a little more safety net
Interesting point, hadn't thought of that, makes sense to me!
And also just thought, head codes, A is 004, B and apparently C are 003.
-
And now I'm confused...
Tried figuring out how to identify a RevC engine that isn't in a car, can't even figure out what I need to look for on mine to identify it!
Heads have 003 on both, block has 712 on it, yellow injectors.
So what do I need to look for to make sure I get a RevC not a RevA-B?

Found the cause of the issues, stupid cheap ass boost controller had would itself out 5-6 "clicks" from the 15 out to 20 something, so it was probably free boosting.
Gah, should have spent the $100 on a decent one in the first place, super derp!

Yip, same engine. Just the water pump, oil cooler, turbo's and I think also the EJ206 will be missing the crank sprocket timing belt guide.
Cheers Rossup!
I will do cam belt /water pump etc before putting any new engine in anyway, be silly not to.
Might order a silicone intake hose and water hose kit as well.

BFH.
I kid I kid!
A small pry bar or 2 are always useful, need careful use though, like the BFH.
-
Just checking, an EJ206 is the same internally as my EJ208?
Just things like the oil cooler, turbo's, and a couple of other bits and bobs are different yah?
So the 206 would be a viable option if I swapped the bits over?
Or chucked an external oil cooler on, which might not be a bad idea anyway, while its in bits.
