[Neutral Switch on GC8 transmission]

ECU will probably find that info useful... i.e. to help know what gear you are in.

[Odd rattle]

release bearing is my guess. get someone to watch the fork when the pedal is in... see if it's moving about.

actually just look yourself with the pedal out... shouldn't be moving about at all.

Did you find the front bush was loaded up too much with this modification?

at this stage I just want someone check the body condition. see if any major dent, surface rust etc. as I am in Auckland and not easy to come down. if the condition is good then I will look for workshop to do a mechanical check. Cheers for the advice anyway

 

It looks fine from the pics.  No major dents. These things don't rust much and only in certain areas anyway.

Going by the engine code, looks to be a V6. They had the EJ207, with wasted spark ignition. Unlike the later cars which have coil on plug.

 

 

This is a V5 WRX STi.

If it's caged then you need an authority card anyway.

You get similar kW on a vf3x turbo with ethanol for less dollars and torque way earlier.
 

 

But an uprated fuel system would cost easily as much as a cheap turbo... and then ethanol in a road car is 100% useless.

 

Agree on the td05 not be worth it though... especially some unknown hybrid... could be anything. Get something

with proven results... i.e. a garrett or borg warner.

No, it's not Phil. Phil did my Cobb tune and he's a top bloke.

 

Different Phil then. 

[Possum Bourne Hybrid TD05 reviews?]

Full boost at 4400 rpm? Looks like peak torque at 4500 to 4600. 280 kw. Seems like we're looking at a td06.

The results seem fine. The throttle mapping is pretty different so it's hard to judge. The new tune is going from a Cobb protune for a downpipe to an EcuTek tune with the downpipe, an intercooler and a boost solenoid, so I really want to see what the differences are between the two. I'm also wondering now why he won't provide one, which makes me nervous, so this is now also about peace if mind. Another issue is that this is my second tune with the same company, but this was literally twice the price of the last one. Despite that extra cost, I have nothing in black and white showing what was actually done.

 

I hope his name isn't Phil.

Tried for the third time to get the before/after Dyno sheet for a dyno tune I had done two weeks ago. Tuner is no longer even replying.

 

Do you have the after dyno sheet at least? Who is the tuner?

 

 

[1998 WRX Unusual fuel consumption]

lols. my current car used to have some bs in the tune to make it backfire constantly off throttle. Was annoying as hell.

[1998 WRX Unusual fuel consumption]

Did you just change the exhaust when this started happening?

 

When does the backfiring occur exactly?

 

Any other problems with how it runs?

 

[Possum Bourne Hybrid TD05 reviews?]

I have a reasonably big turbo for a 2.0 and no lag. As long as I am in the correct gear for my power band

Saw the car last week and it had stainless ones on so i guess they no longer run stock headers.

 

Maybe they change them on regular basis. who knows.

Just fyi this car doesn't run stock headers. They are aftermarket stainless headers, I've seen them.

 

My info... they have tried many aftermarket headers... all failed... then they went to stock twin scroll headers. Success.

So you wouldn’t recommend anyone use those mounts for a car that requires some civility to remain?

 

The major noise I suspect is due to using solid bushes in the crossmember... the crossmember bushes are actually quite soft

usually and so even with a hard transmission mount, there would be quite a bit of dampening.

[What have you done to your car today?]

Similarly I fitted some KEIN mounts recently along with some solid spacers to replace crossmember bushes. 

Greatly improved shifting... it turns out some muppet used a standard impreza or legacy mount

for the transmission... soft enough to bend with one hand. Anyway, the car is hellish loud now,

but nothing some earplugs won't fix... the vibration is nothing to worry about.

[Problem with clutch line]

Sounds a bit odd... the hydraulics don't really get any direct heat, just ambient air temp... maybe the release bearing needs replacing or some grease?
