Few questions on 1999 B4 legacy tt

[Cloud]

Hey had this car a few months now reasonably happy with it but have a few things Im not sure about Its a manual 99 b4 rsk

1, I opened up the fuse box under the bonnet and noticed that it is missing a fuse for the fuse marked VCD off , Normal?

2,What is the rev limit for these cars ? I have taken it to 7500rpm marked red line on the factory tacho a couple times but it seems to want to go further , ecu is standard afaik, Dont even know where it is to check

3,Sometimes when sitting at 100kph im sure i can hear a vibration buzzing sort of noise.not exhaust rumble. and im sure the boost gauge is sitting higher in the VAC than normal when it does this, I checked as many hose clamps i could see, After 10 or so kays it normally goes away, perhaps just my imagination? lol

to check ecu - its in the passenger footwell under the carpet..

GL with your other questions.

Generally Subaru rev limits seem to be 250rpm above redline, so it will probably limit at 7750. Given that peak power is made at 6500 you don't really get any advantage from winding it right out anyway.

Re VDC, I think it was only some autos which had that (stability control, which is quite unnecessary in a Subaru IMO) but they may share the same fuse box.

Cheers for the replys , sweet as

Im pretty sure if you put a fuse in the VDC one it makes the car front wheel drive { i could very well be wrong thought}

[Guest boostcut]

thats in auto models, and the 4wd fuse is on drivers strut tower marked 4wd

your 100km noise could be George

you can search him but long story short, brittle diverter valve (factory BOV) vibrates at partial throttle

Has a gfb hybred BOV in it, Can that bov make that noise as well

[Guest boostin]

VDC (Vehicle Dynamics Control) models don't have the FWD/4WD option. The VDC OFF fuse does exactly that. Turns VDC off, so no fuse is normal.

You can't, unless it's recirculating. And then you need it to fit in the tight space between the IC and manifold.

Had a look at the car today, Noticed that there was alot of brake dust on the front right mag compared to other wheels so I bleed the brakes and Damn the car feels like it gaind 50kws and didnt make that noise on the short drive I took it for. Guess the pads where rubbing a little on that corner
