Hey cheers on the replys guys haha I know it\'s a Subaru forum, I can give it a go my self it\'s just because I haven\'t done one on a Subaru motor before. It\'s a pretty good buy I\'ve talked to the old owner who built the car and got him to confirm what is done, so it\'s pretty well priced. Anyone know on the wrx that had the plate SEEN on it? Well that\'s the car it\'s forged and runing a link ecu so it\'s pretty well worth it. Il wait till I actually do get it an pull the motor out, then start looking at my options.

Hey is there anyone in this forum that\'s pretty on to it with their subarus.im looking at buying a sti wagon for a fair price it\'s got a blowen head gasket. I can get the motor out just looking for someone that knows what there doing to change the head gaskets and whatever needs doing while its out, it\'s had a full rebuild not too sure why head gasket blew. Willing to negotiate the price to get the job done otherwise any shops that are fair priced. Any help or a point in the right direction will be much appreciated. I\'m in Auckland

hey lol i dont have any yet but i can get some up for you guys, it needs a lil tidy up hoses runing everywhere. piping is fairly short with a flipped intake manifold. it doest run around the side like how the normal aftermarket ones are piped up, it comes through the front next to the radiator which is an after market alloy one
Is that a gt35? What power you getting out of it?
yeah it is a cheap chinese one doing well so far its putting out 240kw tuned on 14psi by torque performance

ok heres an update . i refitted the thermostat and ran car up to operating temperature with the radiator cap off, to bleed the cooling system.water was really throffy while it was running/bleeding.checked both top and bottom radiator hoses and they were both warm.took the car for a 5-15min drive with a bit of boost, not to hard. car didn't over heat. water didn't come out of the over flow but i checked with the over flow lid off an was bubbling a little, maybe i filled the over flow with too much water? fans still wernt coming on as well.
note: it was the oil cooler that was replaced not oil pump...
-
Course it will take ages to get to temp with no thermostat . . Waters constantly circulating the system . . . . . Milky oil means water in the oil = blowen head gasket . . . Got milk in the radiator too ? Only a scientist will remove thermostat and keep driving the car . . While its cold your running rich . . Using allot of gas . .
its not milky anymore, i even triple checked, after the oil pump was changed the oil and water looks normal at operating temperature !!! will try what is mentioned above. i know this sounds weird better double check as to what was actually done

Id chuck a new thermostat in, fill it with water (through top radiator hose), bring it up to operating temp(fans working) and check that the bottom radiator hose is hot. If the fans come on and the bottom hose is still cold this could be a circulation problem(most likely blocked heater core) where the thermostat isnt getting hot water to the engine side of it to heat it so it opens allowing coolant to pass through the radiator. If this is hapening the water in the block starts to get hotter than usual and coz the thermostat isnt opening, the water expands more than usual and starts to pressurise the cooling system and will push water out to the overflow bottle.
hey man thanks for the reply. it pretty well could be what you have mentioneed. it had never over heated and i dont even know why they took the thermostat out. from memory he told me that the last job that was done after this started happening was that the oil pump got changed.also it had milky oil before this was changed but now no milky oil and doesnt over heat when driving also with no thermostat i noticed that it still takes awhile to reach operating temperature .

hey everyone bit new too this forum, only use it for help for mates broken/faluty subarus. good site.
i have a mate he has a v3 sti, just seeking for help or ideas to what you guys think it could be before going off to a mechanic an get it diagnosed.
ive used the search function but need more straight forward answer. now the problem is water is coming out of the overflow bottle after hes been for a drive,not much tho. but happens each time its driven, it also doesn't over heat.will this be early stages of a blowen head gasket? theres no change in power or anything whats so ever just the water bubbles out of the over flow. have 2 questions aswell
1. hes running no thermostat, will that cause the fans to not go on?
2.how much roughly would he be looking at? if it is blowen headgaskets
cheers any help be appriciated
