Hey guys just wanting to know when it comes time to install my new headers on my wrx is there anyone here that can put them in? of course ill pay but iv done a bit of research and with working 24/7 and needing my car to get to work and the amount of work it looks like itl take i havnt got the time to do it myself. please let me know if anyone can do it and pm me a time and price, Thanks guys Dan

sweet as champ just what i wanted to hear! Basically im going to get the intake ive seen on T/M i already have the mani and up pipe. im also (this weekend)ganna get the supplies to make my cold air box get the turbo with EBT and thinking between FM or STI TM duno which may be better... if any?

with the 13/28/24 what flange do they run? and are they a direct bolt on replacment? as im going to get a turbo soon and sorta follow suit with what you listed pappu.also will the standard wrx injectors max out runing those turbos on 17ish psi? Ta

Bugger i red this a little to late i ended up going and having a look at the mani and buying it! from what i could see the quality was really good all the welds looked very profesional and the whole unit is s/s so no crappy rust around the flange welds. im thinking also about getting the V7 intake pipe which is on trade me its the blue one thats around $170 are they any good they look like they dont have the massive kink like the factory pipe.

good points there bro. how im thinking of working it atm is im going to get XXX amount of parts ie turbo possibly Front mount intake etc sort of the main parts that will give me a base to start then im ganna take a week off work and basically put them all on i just saw these pop up and thought well when im doing my other mods i owuldnt mind having the exhaust side sorted too. What do you think.

I havnt yet persoanlly looked at the quality but i sent him an email and he claims it comes with a 12 month warrenty as well as mentioned it is "high Quality" Stainless steel so i might go have a look at it on the weekend. and see how we go. from experience pappu did you noticed the differnce in power/pick up with a s/s mani?

oh really? in what way? if any of you guys have had any experience with these types of manifolds please tell it would be greatly appreciated.

excellent in that case im going to ask him to list another as when i asked him in his shop he said no it wouldn't only the older models but all the other guys selling there manifolds reckon there manifolds fit from 92-V7 so i thought this one shouldn't be any different, cheers mate

hey guys can someone please let me know if this will fit a 2002 V7 wrx http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=368931422 other trademe sellers have mentioned to me that there manifolds will fit from 92 to Version 7 just wanting to know for sure Ta,dan

i tell ya driving it when it was sluggish and missing and detonating etc such a breeze now but id be interested to see what the IAM is reading now fingures crossed itl be spot on...will sort it out with you at some stage bro. cheers Pappu

**UPDATE** hey Guys, Yeah went to pappu's found no codes on the ecu coming up. But pappu found that the IAM was sitting on 8 and went as low as 2 when giving it greif up hill, was knocking quite bad with detonation etc. So i went home and flushed the gas tank did the fuel filter and sparkies filled with 98 and within 10 mins back to perfect. so cant be 100% sure but it was one of three things old fuel filter, worn sparkies or bad batch of fuel.

hey guys got a 2002 v7 wrx non STI Just wanting to know best place to go for fuel filter and spark plugs and if possible part numbers? Thanks Guys.

you have txt

ok so been having full on problems with my v7 wrx atm. had a boost leak a few weeks back (i think) and replaced all hoses cleaned std solenoid checked for leaks on intercooler reset ecu by disconnecting battery etc now im back to boosting 7PSI in all gears went for a drive before and at one stage the car wanted to die seriously WTF..... i duno what else to do Any ideas on everything that would make the car run 7 psi... thanks in advance guys

STI8U you gota tell me more about this? so basically v7 solenoids = rubbish cool no probs lol But whats with the ecu are the V7's the only model with them? what are they exsactly or what does this mean i can do? sorry iv always been with turbo silvias never owned a sub before

yeah i never really looked at mine till i had a boost problem i notice in 3rd 4th im getting 14.5 or there abouts. but second just felt slower then normal. so thought id check to see if mine is right or soemthings just weird

Hey guys few weeks ago was having boost problems now i seem to have fixed it (i think) Just wanting to know in 1st, 2nd gear on a stock 2002 v7 wrx what should max boost be? Ive read through alota google pages and it seems that 7-9 psi (dependent on weather) is what it should be can anyone confirm. as my car is runing 7.25 in those gears. Or anyone got the same car with the same reading as me? cheers for your help guys.

hmm yeah water is a big issue as it seems to find its way everywhere.. Maybe i will make a perspex cold air box and put it in the factory place atleast i know itl be dry, In ways of dimensions i see alota people almost do a whole side pannel style cold air box. if i go for making a cold air box im wanting to make compact and sealed (except for my air intake hole) if its only X amount bigger then the poddy itself.Would that be a problem? im new to making a custom box... cheers

yeah i was going to make a cold air box (still might), But then thought about the guard idea which seems easy with out making a box and having to move things etc.also the gaurd basically is the "cold air box" i just need to make some duct tunnels. so im a little stumped in what way i should go.. would it say be colder in the guard as opposed to being in the engne bay even with a cold air box... Im hoping to do it this weekend so thought id get everyones thoughts on what way to go. Cheers Dan

Hey guys, Seen this around quite a bit now people extending the intake pipe from the turbo and sending it into the guard? Just mainly wanting to know does it have any negative performance with the pipe being slightly longer. Iv noticed that having a pod filter in the standard spot gets wet when it rains/washign the car. cheers in advance guys.

mate that would be excellent if you could....Atleast that will reveal anything that could be the culperate.What sorta day/time? yeah i made sure the pill is on the turbo side b4 the T just an anoying problem

ok time to update, Replaced all turbo hoses used hose clips to secure to make sure nothing is going to leak went for a drive. and still hiting 10 psi in 4th gear before its starts dropping off. So im thinking ill firstly check to see if theres any ecu faults (as it doesnt require me to buy/change anyhting.) so in a v7 where is the ecu located? And if for example it comes back with no wrong codes where the heck to next? Also im located new lyn/blockhouse bay ways so maybe if this fails some1 might be able to have a look.... cheers for all your help so far guys/

yeah when i originally checked over the hoses they all seemd squishy and soft but all the near the ends were like rock. Im ganna go get all the hoses tomorrow in the mean time what can i do in ways of getting another pill? seems mine is toast.

ahh i havnt had to do that test in a long time!! ok so so turbo components are fine went straight past 10 no problem . Havnt as of yet wired up the noid with a led because iv hit another brickwall. In the process of removing the required turbo hoses i found that when taking them off they all pretty much broke and snapped and the pil was so brital that too snaped in half. looks like the hot cold hot cold from the motor over the years has worked its magic. Question where to from here? i just rang winger and 70 bucks + 2wweks delivery id rather not. cheers too Smurf ill look into that a little later u rekon waste gate preassure so pill/noid? only thigns i can think of that regulate other then the ecu telling it what to do.... P.S i dont want to save fuel!!! hahaha

yeah i always run 98 octane,starts up exceptionally well no funny noises, drives smooth,has no trouble going through the rev range in all gears, no smoke. boost kicks in and gets to 10 and stays there through the rev range. but thats just it it doesnt go any higher... yeah from memory it has always been 10 psi the only reason why iv only just asked now was because my mates v8 is hitting 14 so thought mine should be too. motor is stone stock. no engine warning lights nothing. lol im compeltely stumped maybe a faulty solenoid? how can i check if theres error codes on the ecu? thanks for you help so far guys.
