Dumb Question Thread!

[AdamOst]

sweet thanks dude. you seemed to have got yours a lot cheaper back then...

[Guest]

Thats standard trade same as at any gen place if you can twist their arm. Could ring those lads see if they will cut you the same deal dwaynes the man to talk to just tell him i sent you. Partsouq only takes 7-8 working days on fedex tho...

[AdamOst]

partsouq comes to ~480inc shipping. ill see if the mechanics who will be doing it can get it any cheaper from winger

[Guest]

Hmmm gut. Yea let us know dude.

Did subaru ever update their factory fuel lines to run ethanol/methanol without eating the inside?

Whatever Gull adds to their fuel.

Matching loom plugs and adapted fuel rails that sit lower, these are 7.5mm shorter than a V7 STI injector. Also different o-ring sizes top and bottom. Then with these having a main body of 22.5mm they may not fit in the V7 manifolds injector ports, which are only 17mm, (GDB injector main body is 16mm).

Cheers dude.

I have decided to go with ID1000's so will sell these.

Thanks Rosssub.

Is that website better/cheaper than partsouq?

[94 Leone]

By the looks of those pricetags; I'd just use them to find part numbers. Remember it's all in GBP which is spency exchange rate

[sobanoodle]

Would 18x8 ET37 be a "painless" fitment on my 3.0, i.e no rubbing/guard rolling required?

Two quick dumb questions- what is a reasonable (read not through the roof price) rear pad for BE TT Legacy and secondly if changing to ST do I need to change header tank to V7 or is factory BE one fine? Chur

[94 Leone]

Factory header tank is fine aaand if you hit up BNT they would probably have the cheapest parts available??

I usually get trade prices from bnt so dont know retail value.

Okay my dumb question time;

inconsistent surging i.e. not all the time & only under load. I have three thoughts of what it could be;

A: fuel pump

B: AFM

C: potential post afm pre turbo intake leak?

When it surges boost kinda flutters up and down and vehicle shakes.

can anyone confirm?

As far as I'm aware the BE header tank is exactly the same as a V5/6 STI header tank.

Maybe add boost leak or leaking BOV/diaphragm to the list.

The BE/BH/V5/V6 header tank and header tank hard line under the manifold are identical. The Version 7 has a different hardline under the intake manifold, to clear the GDA tumble generator valves/GDB TGV deletes spacers. So you only really want the V7 header tank if changing to a V7 intake manifold.

Pics of the header tank and hardline differences on this page:

I might give the bov idea a look. Wont be boost leak as i had the tmic off for sorting the exhaust for a wof lol. Having to take downpipe off etc. Just easier to have it out the way. All STi slicone and done up tight so I really doubt its a boost leak.

[B4 I was 250T]

Thanks Ross, the reason I had asked was because I had seen it on your ST thread. But if I was keeping my BE5B manifold for my ST then I won't need the V7 one aye...

No you won't. What you will need is a new header to turbo water line because of the different turbo.
