Dumb Question Thread!

There are 2 genuine sub filters I have seen I cant remember the numbers off hand. The smaller is normally supplied for P2 engines V5-. I wouldnt get too stressed more oil is better when it comes to sub so run the bigger if concerned. Just watch the fitment on the spigot some sub have a shorter spigot that the filters barely seat on and can cause issues. Might be in the 3.0 models I cant remember tbh I just supply what i know will work.

Small filter is h4 big filter is h6 but either way either will bolt on to each other

Did an oil and filter change on my car today, I normally use a Ryco Z495 filters but used a black genuine Subaru one this time. The Subaru filter is a a lot smaller the Ryco. Is this normal or did I get the wrong Subaru filter? It fit perfectly though.

Same experience here.

Subaru has changed that part several times in the past, and have finally settled for the small one.

I always try to use genuine filters on mine. It has been tested heaps. Check out the oil thread on NASIOC..

Firstly is there any difference between a wrx and wrx sti manifold. apart from colour

secondly will a v3/4 manifold fit in a v2 sti with having to mod anything?

I am planning on buying a cheap v3/4 manifold, painting it and swapping it in, however its from a wrx not an sti and from a v3/4 not a v2.

I would hate to fit a wrx manifold on and find its reduces hp due to differences.

No difference to manifolds flow but v1-2 flow more air than v3-4

[lachlan]

arent the fuel rails different ?

[tydon]

rails are diffrent along with sensors TPS,ICV

[tydon]

i put a v3/4 manifld on a v2sti block with good results and alot of fiddling around.

you could change the cross over pipe(the one that runs the water to radiator) on the v2 block to save the hastle of modifying the v3/4 manifold. i had to extend some wiring to get to the sensors on the block.

also had to split fuel rail as rails hit the cross over pipe.

Also in your case you would need to reuse your throttlebody/TPS and ICV.

not sure if those would bolt upto v3/4 mani

Where can I get the stuff that\'s used to repair demister pattern on rear windows? I have a silver based one from jaycar from ages ago but it doesn\'t help much, the previous owner ripped the tint off of the back window and has really shagged my demister, doesn\'t do more than the edges -___-

If its still got the original injectors, they are only good for about 15psi on the factory turbo. Sure the gauge is accurate? Boost cut is usually around 12 - 13psi and needs to be chipped to go above that from memory?

[lachlan]

all the boost lines will be hard and fallen off things that matter
