You're preaching to the choir here bro lol.
Taylor Automotive said my block and heads are totally boned and the only thing salvageable out of them is the crank and upper valve train (cam shafts and retainers etc).
I'd say you're doing well, as I'm 30k deep into an RA that doesn't even have a running fking motor anymore.
SSuuper gutted for you man
if it helps you can have my v1 heads for free - maybe swap your valve train into them? They are pretty obsolete tbh though

his redline is like 6k rpm, wouldn't the power band be suuuper short based on the turbo you selling for cars of that gen?
With my new heads my 6k rpm limit is a thing of the past
more like 8k when run in - well I don't wanna get too ahead of myself but I'm hoping for decent increase in all areas really

Y u no just buy my twisted setup
keen as man but I'm already 4/5k over budget, gonna sell my rays wheels to help with that but even then I'm still over
my $3,000 Rs will owe me over $25,000 lol. There comes a time in every mans life where he has to draw the line
( it sounds like I've drawn the line - but honestly I have no idea I just don't want my mrs complaining I just can't take any more complaining!)

Where is your build thread? Had a look but must of either missed it or looking in the wrong area

That's a mean looking inlet cover!
mine has Nearly the same size inlet as the factory td05 16g.
nice price man, wish I knew about these earlier, mine was 1750 for the unit, nice you went 8cm too, I went with the 7cm but wish I went with the 8.

I tried to do the same with my v7 wheels. I used dragons breath. The face of the wheel came up mean but the back and inside of the rim almost had no change. I thought there would be paint under there but looks like they didn't paint the inside of the wheel so the finish is rather rough, could just be worn out though

Yes .Keith stewart will be tuning ..
Have got to fit stock headers and modify turbo mount to sit turbo level..
Then modify down pipe to suit..
Then tune for 300whp..
Run it for a while like that and then rebuild engine and run in..
Followed by touchup tune with maybe another 20-30 whp..
Sounds easy...........................
But its not.
Nice

. FML. Anyways, have chucked bars leaks in as has water pump seal conditioner so hopefully it'll hold until I can afford to get new water pump. And this is my picture
Sux about the water leak, water leaks drive me craaaazay. be sure to tell sas or whoever does the work tht that stuff is in there, and to flush the cooling system good n propa. That additive could load up your radiator full of gunk

You getting it tuned? Keen as to hear your results when you done as I'll be using a similar turbo on the rs
-
Have you considered the older legacys? Like the first ones, between 88-92, I havnt had much experience with them but I hear they have slightly above average fuel efficiency, but the great thing about that is gas stations have heaps of gas so you can get more when you need to. And the sleek interior of the facelift model is sure to impress people who are used to vehicles manufactured pre 88

Either way will be pretty close imo.
if your thinking of getting a turbo - just go for it I reckon, even if it cost you $20 more a week on fuel, you'll love it I reckon
my daily is diesel ute, so when I get to drive my Rs I'm reminded every dang time why I love it when that turbo spools up
-
if its TMIC and he put the pipe backk in himself, he could of acccidently unplugged the wires for the coil? (i believe the coil loom runs under the tmic and there is a plug there? might just be in the older model cars though

Drove the new D-MAX in thailand, very nice ute, only drove it for a week, and on kohpangan you cant really go faster than 50km/w without risking killing loads of people.
My daily is an 04 Ford courier, best vehicle ive ever bought, 2.5L Diesel turbo, people say they have gearbox problems etc - but i got it at 100,000kms and its on 206,000kms now, pulled diggers fron ak to northland, trailers, other cars out of the mud. you just have toi treat it right and get it serviced when it needs it. its never broken down on me or given any signs of problems, up untill recently ive only got it serviced and changed the tyres, recently cost me alot though, cambelt and all that jazz, all new shocks and some bushings, glow plugs, same deal with most vehicles though. drives like a dream again

Buzzy I thought you were parked in that photo
Did you lower it? looks way better if you did * scuffles off to your build thread*

/yep, thats why I was stoked when the rays did fit over the brembos, then fully over looked the fact that changing the offset ment they now hit the brembos lol
Hard to find a nice looking (and suited) set of wheels that will tuck under the rs guards + not hit the shock + clear the brakes, maybe im just too picky
but the v7 wheel wins in all of these departments at once

Rays coming up for sale then? 😀
Yup, they owe me over 2grand, so will probably just put them on trademe
7 hours ago, Dairusire said:To be honest, those wheels look significantly better in person than they do in photos.
It was a mistake to have so much material taken off them if I'm honest but it happens to the best of us.
I agree, but thats only if its any car other than mine lol
I like low, slightly lowered just doesnt do it for me, which ment the wheels had to tuck under the guards, and also have room to move, so the new offset achieved it perfectly, and still has more than enough meat to be 100% safe (according to Arrow wheels who quoted laws about it directly)
The rays are now ET 48, which I was told is the normal aftermarket wheel offset of subarus 88-00, imo any car without brembos, these would be perfect fitment, tuck under your guards go as low as you like, with clearance for the shock. just a shame about my front brembo calipers being so giant >_ <
Anyway Im more of a fan of the look (on the car) and the offset of the v7 wheels (think its 53? cant quite remember) loads of room - and also obviously covers the ridiculous brakes

sorry this isn't on topic but what car are you running the gtx3071r on , what engine (and is it stock?) , how much boost pressure, what's the boost curve and power output like (happen to have dyno sheets)? just been pretty curious about this one for a while but skewed results all over online forums
haha! your planning on getting a bigger turbo arent you! we are so alike lol

I thought the td05-18g was good for circa 250-260kw? I have turbo back exhaust, DW300 fuel pump, G4 Link etc and was tuned for 206kwatw with the faulty turbo. The cheapest I can find a new VF34 is for 2.2k, and VF30 for 1600 brand new.
I've pulled the VF34 out already to have it inspected and was planning on installing the td05 myself given it's just a bolt on. Surely it can't be that hard?
My rs made 187kw atw with a td05 (think it was 18g, might have been 16g) with usual mods, yellows, big fuel pump, link g4, downpipe. i recently upgraded to the kinugawa td05 20g (with billet wheel etc) havnt had results yet but im only expecting 220-240kw tbh, you can get them to fit bolt on from driven performance website, they make them to what ever you like, so i got the upgraded option and welded up internal gate, was around 1750 iirc, could be a good option if you just want to put it in yourself
+ will defy need a tune to see some good numbers imo
-
Just get the same turbo, new or rebuilt.
New injectors / intercooler wont make much difference - unless you plan on getting an ecu & tune. (or is the v7 one of those cars you can tune the factory ecu)
in that case, go nuts, big turbo, big injectors, big fronty

Lowering springs not low
in General Vehicle Discussion
Posted
This has happened to me before on a few different cars.
youll probably find the fronts do go 35mm lower (with the new springs in). But the rears are sometimes higher to allow for loading the rear (well that's an excuse I was given when it happened to me but I wouldn't be surprised if its bull pukka)
id definately talk talk to the person who you bought them off. But not before checking the height with both the rears done and then drive it down the road and back.
They will "settle" but it will be F*** all. If u do the fronts and it's still high in the rear you Could get them compressed
