Abomb

Not sure.

I should note that the second t was my doing, I used it as vacuum reference for my gfb ebc. I’m debating getting rid of the defi boost gauge all together since having two boost gauges is a little silly. But the problems with the defi unit were there before I installed the ebc.

I agree, I didn’t install the boost gauge myself as it comes with the car. It is tee’d off a manifold reference and then teed a second time.

I’m going through the wiring and vacuum placement on my defi boost gauge and everything seems to be done properly, but it doesn’t steadily climb or hold its position, the needle just sort of runs around the general area. Is this from the internal waste gate flapping around or is there an issue with the stepper motor or something? I can take a vid if needed. I should also note that during the opening ceremonies when the gauges sweep through the full range of motion my boost and egt are quite jerky on their way back down.

Try having to replace a single crush washer behind the timing belt cover because it’s leaking oil.

When I did pass/rotors on mine I had the same issue, apparently there is a certain order you are supposed to do it in.

2001 Sti

When I bought my sti abs light and warning indicator for the ebrake being pulled were on, even when disengaged. Turned out to be the abs pump/module. Code wouldn’t pop up on a regular code reader, dealers code puller told me what the fault was though.

Anybody know of a white sti, either a v7 or v8, with orange wheels? Saw it go screaming by in Onehunga on Sunday and it was screaming like it had a dog box in it.

Sounds good man, I’m always available to help out another Subabro. We’ve probably seen each other around honestly, Hamilton isn’t that big of a place.

Buy the gauge and a pod and about an hour in your garage or driveway. Boost gauges are super easy. I have a defi boost gauge but my gforce II electronic boost controller also has a boost/vacuum display. hell, if you live in/near Hamilton or drive down from Auckland or where ever I’ll throw it in for you if you aren’t confident in doing it yourself.

Sounds like I might have a little leak somewhere then.

What does everyone see for vacuum at idle? After the header and engine mounts I’m thinking I have a vacuum leak somewhere but it could also just be from the modifications. Warm idle used to sit around -17/-18@600rpm, now I’m seeing -15-17@600rpm.

Engine and transmission mounts are in, bolted up the header as well. Didn’t realize in my infinite wisdom that the header was a 3 bolt instead of the factory two bolt so I walked away for today. I’ll pull the turbo out tomorrow and put the uppipe in. Might as well do the inlet and catch can at the same time. Also I’ll probably just come up and check out one of the Auckland meets.

I have a v7 sti intercooler I’ll sell. I’m in Hamilton. It does have the piping and brackets. No bov.

Hamilton

How often are these club sub meets and where are they? I’d bring out my car once the 20g and tune happen.

Header all wrapped up.

Did a clean/polish/buff/rain x today.

The price and how popular they are here is insane to me, back in the states people tend to look down on rotas for being s****y, cheap knock offs.

Finished the install on my front mount. Since the photo I’ve trimmed and got my fender liners sorted out.

I appreciate it, the shop that is welding it together took a print of the flange on my bov and off my factory intercooler and were laser cutting it they just didn’t have time to finish it up before heading home.

Not going to be done until Monday.

Yeah gonna have to so I can continue recirculating.

No screws on this one, there looks to be a couple divets inside for a special tool to take it apart but I don’t have anything that’ll fit. I think I’m going to have to get a flange welded on.
