Yellow Injectors?

[luvmaforzzy]

Can anyone tell me what it means if I have yellow injectors but still got a normal airflow meter with no sticker an a ECU with E6 on it,

I thought grey was the standard colour for non sti an stock. Ive had the car for 2 years an just bothered to check now

Im gunna upgrade to orange AFM, V3/4 ECU and not sure about inctors yet might not even need to buy them if I already got them hopefally lol ;D

[Pappu1]

I know the v3/4 have yellows and orange afm with 6s ecu

Not had a foz before so insure on e6 ecu

[Joker]

lol normal airflow - yellows go with orange AFM

other than that - that is my expertise...

does not refer to any E6's

[luvmaforzzy]

yea not sure to change the ECU or not, its got 3 plugs an still gota get a orange airflow meter but yea still wanderen about the injectors if they 440cc or not, im guessn they are cause even Laz had a look an was like aye spose to be grey lol

got me stuck mate lol its been like that from they day I bought it stock as 1st owner nz

Ill post a pic up when I get a chance.

an what imean by normal is my AFM has no label on it

[WRXONP]

to run yellows it would be a 90mm orange wouldnt it?? 6S ecu?? measure the MAF if it has no label....greens 76mm and orange is 90mm where the intake pipe goes on

[luvmaforzzy]

my injector

my AFM that I dont know what the hell it is lol

And my ECU I cant find any info on?

Just the arse end of my gurl haha

Can you see my dilemma lol

[WRXONP]

is that a v5-6 engine? the MAF looks nothing at all like my v3-4..

[luvmaforzzy]

its a forester an its not even sti, I always thought it was just a stock car cause i havn't really touched the motor, its an auto so go figure haha just in the middle of saving up for a manual gearbox frm strong4subaru

[luvmaforzzy]

the engine looks pritty stock to me

[bubblz]

its a v/5 /v/6 based forester...same as mine...

[luvmaforzzy]

oh ok I had no idea lol but fanx 4 that now I no what im working with but what colour is the airflow meter spose to be then?

[bubblz]

it wil have the yellows already in there and afm dont need to change to an orange afm..i tried putting an sti v/5 ecu in there but was running way too rich to be safe and was detonating..v/3 v/4 based forester has the coil pack thingy in the middle of engine bay and our ones based on v/5 v/6 is off to the left.what yr is your foz?

[luvmaforzzy]

its a 98 an what ecu did you end up going with?

[bubblz]

that afm is either a turbo afm or non turbo afm from what i gathered..so if have turbo dont need to change like earlier fozzies

[bubblz]

u can see by the plug on the afm is different to the coloured afm..i had one hell of a mish finding this stuff out..was getting confused real bad..lol...but thx to fellas on here managed to figure it out..i ended just putting on ebc and vf24..hoping to get link ecu and front mount later in the yr to make the most of nods

[bubblz]

i ment mods*..lol

:D

[luvmaforzzy]

sory but whats a ebc an thanx for passing the knowledge on cause i was scratching my head an hard lol one question though, is it a sti cause I dont have a hell of alot knowledge about versions an stuff :-\ an was thinking of putting a Tdo5 an a red top intake manifold on it or would that be a stupid idea haha

[kamineko]

ok there is a lot of confusion in this thread.. people who arn't sure should make it clear they arn't sure! (hence is it really necessary to post in the first place?)

the yellows/orange afm/6S ecu combo is ONLY for wrx version 3/4 style EJ20K engines

turbo foresters do use the wrx engine setup but your one pictured is a version 5/6 style.

the version 5/6 style runs an insert type afm. (as pictured). it pulls out from the afm pipe, and it has a part number on it. they are not colour coded.

i myself have no knowledge of what afm/ecu/injectors the foresters came with from factory, you will have to research this ( the list joker linked to is ONLY for JapaneseDomesticMarket WRX )

its likely the afm/yellow injectors you have already are the same as the v5/v6 sti BUT the engine compression ratio may be different - hence problems mentioned when pluggin in an sti ecu. (a J2 ecu will simply plug in)

EBC is electronic boost control. instead of using the factory ecu to control boost, you have a tunable unit that looks after boost for you. its a bit more clever (and expensive) than a mechanical boost tap.

red top manifold is mechanically NO different to the unpainted one. TD05 is probably a larger turbo to what you have, more low end lag but better top end. you will have to have it straight-inlet modified.

what to do now? best option in the long run is to have a tunable ecu installed. 2nd best is to use an EBC, its cheaper but hard to know how safe it is for your engine. 3rd option is leave it be

[luvmaforzzy]

ahahahaha man dat sums it all up, thanx heaps aye , ill just leav it be an focus on making hur luk stunning then shall I. ;D ;D ;D

[bubblz]

lol better explaination in one box than me but isnt it what i basically already told him? :(..thx kami! also been told i had a phase 2 motor..i profess no true knowledge...this is stuff i have learnt from the cs welly crew who are more knowledgeable than me..

[kamineko]

..sorry wasn't in the best mood, was stung by a wasp and .. pain

[luvmaforzzy]

haha dude what you doin getting stung ;D

[Pappu1]

as said above its v5/6 do not have orange afm etc

(i though ur one was v3/4 based hence the orange comment - bit like lazlo fozzy)

hmm why not worry abt the turbo etc after ur manual conversion
