    Legacy GTB TT BBOD Solenoid Dead? (also Hi from Florida US of A)

    in Legacy & Outback

    I will put that myth to rest : I'm not as clever as I appear : just a bit Silly (can confirm Male too FYI)

     

    yeeaaaah my Mechanic at the time rues the day I took that combo in & said never do that again

     

    as they had to find a Intake pipe to match as they were different Diameters on the intake side, stretching the job out

     

    as your can imagine "yeah sweet they should bolt up" went to "oh s*** we need to get more parts"

     

    there are way more clever people than me Still playing with these and some that have swapped Housings & Exhaust sides to make things work

     

    I have never got my hands that dirty (I have swapped motors "Like for like" & even then things never went straight forward)

     

    there's always a dumb piece of intake plastic to split or sensor to break

     

    "Some" will say go Single while you have the chance

     

    "others" (me) will say try & stay stock / OEM for as long as possible as they become a money pit Quick!

     

    & yeah both tracks are easier said than done, as you mention VF's are Dinosaurs now & yep that's kinda why I thought the 27 would be good

     

    My car ended up in Wgtn SO the old owner might still have parts if he's not had a clean up in the past 7-5 years?

     

    (sad to say it but try the Subaru Gen 2 and TT Groups hah)

     

    I am doing my best to keep the forums active, for things like that ❤️

    What is this . Help Subaru Legacy 2000 B4 TwinTurbo

    Correct 100% they came from Japan like that, disconnected or disabled, rather rare to see one still connected with the Butterfly in the System still

     

    mine was still plugged in and if you drove with the seats down & Cover off you could hear & see it activate at certain RPM's (I owned a BG5 Rev C GTB)

     

    Basically a "quiet" mode for street & LOUD for Fast @ WOT

     

    I'm not entirely sure of the Trigger or signal source

     

    & yeah, 'stock' exhaust' but unlikely the OEM rear section that made use of this (Twin Pipes?)

    Important note.. unfortunately Gull Force 10 is being removed from a lot of the Gull stations. This fuel was by far the best pump gas and any cars we have tuned to run on Gull Force 10 98 octane only will need the tune checked and most likely some ignition timing removed. If your car was tuned to run on Gull as well as Mobil and BP 98 you will be fine. Please call us at work if you are unsure if this will effect your car.
    Thank you, team E&H Motors

    Other than speed sensors woes, yes?

     

    5 Speeds are all very similar

     

    I understand Later have 8x bolt Bellhousings and you'll probably only have 4x? 

     

    6x Speeds are different length? (use Auto Driveshaft?

     

    I'm sure there's a sensor solution written on the forums somewhere

     

    again newest Subaru I've owned  was a 98 BG5, and I've never got that Mechanical
