Sold the ol girl yesterday...Goners.

Has gone to an older chap who is caging it and turning it into a tarmac car.

[zarnah]

got it fired up again after doing manifold etc, need to get my link controller off hijacka as the link is running an antilag map and it doesnt like it!

New windscreen booked in for wednesday, does $300 for them to come out and replace with new item sound about right?

Then hopefully laadan (hijacka) and I can swap the diff to my 4.44 in the weekend and replace centre diff and front axles, get my tyres chucked on, sort out why my indicators wont work, and shes ready for wof!

[Joker]

yup 300 is a reasonable price - got bill got mine the other day cos they reckoned insurance would not cover it (they did after a ph call) was over $440

i hurt from doing that myself last night. rear diff is teh heavy and awkward. it is possible to drop it out without touching the rear arms/hubs though. ...on GC/BG chassis. your BC has a different rear end eh

I also have a wheel bearing on the way out on the left rear, and my 4.44 diff is still on my parts car which has good hubs both sides, would it be easier to drop the whole subframe and replace?

[RAYDEO]

pulled my brakes apart to check out the damage from the track.

and my new T1Rs are a little worse for ware too!!!!

Also de-snorked it, now to find some pipe to make a new intake.

[Guest]

took the scoobie up to warkworth (Kent) and they managed to find 40KW ! had to put in a fuel regulator but sh!t this thing is really quick now . Also got the gizzmo programmed correctly so boosting 10.8 psi or 15.2 psi now depending on cycle used.

now to book my trackday at hampton downs for monday ;D

[CUDDAS]

It burst (has small split) the top radiator hose after 11+ years of service , best part was it happened in the shed on the warm down after a trip out 8) & i thought it was just on fire :-[

[ODB]

ah well small things go from time to time.

fact of life when owning subarus!

[Timmah]

Got the car back today

It ended up getting:

Left rocker cover gasket replaced.

New O ring and Oil Pump Gasket

New Crank Seal

New Air Con Belt

Second hand Crank Pulley as the one in the was a aluminium one that was being dodge.

[zarnah]

massive mission today (and faaaark its hot!) pulled out box, cracked it and stripped it, removed front diff and took the crown wheel off then put it all back together and back into the car, big thanks to Laadan (HIJACKA) who damn near could pull one of them to bits with a blindfold on haha.

So mission tommorow is to get some front half-shafts in for wof time.

[Drunkenmonkey]

so does that make it RWD?

[zarnah]

 Drunkenmonkey said:

No, it was allready Rwd, thats done by welding up the centre diff, taking the crown wheel off the front diff means you can run front halfshafts for wof's, If you just put the front halfshafts in without removing the crownwheel then it will make the car 4 wheel locked diff and break things haha

[Drunkenmonkey]

ah i see didnt no you had to have the shalfs in for wofs

[zarnah]

I used to get wofs at vtnz with no front halfshafts in my old BF, but they have wised up to the conversions a bit now and require them to be certed or well hidden............

[Drunkenmonkey]

i see vtnz are like that

[zarnah]

yeap, i could probably just go get a wof at the local country garage with no front half shafts, but Id rather just know that theres no way i'll get pulled up on it no matter where i go

[stira]

Removed my vf23 to replace with a vf30. The thing is I dont think its knackered now. I think the lines in the catch can have been put back together wrong and that where the oil is coming from. Instead of the top line going to the intake a bottom line on the catch can is. Any oil in it would be being sucked straight into the intake.

I think my turbo has been "sucking" the oil out of the catch can from the engine when it is on boost. This would explain a couple of things but someone may be able to correct me?

hahaha sounds like an awesome albeit pointless setup, then again it should only be sucking as much oil as it would if it was set up factory with the breathers running to the intake so if you have excessive oil then id say theres still something wrong

[stira]

I agree, but I only have excess oil when the turbo boosts, basically I think its sucking it out of the engine through the catch can. In the pic below you can see how its set up. The line on the far left at the bottom of the can is going to to the intake.

The line on the top on the elbow is coming from the right head breather, basically it would act like a vacume pump under any sort of boost. I think.

Im of the opinion the lines need to be swapped around and the problem will be solved.

[hijacka]

Sounds like its blowing it threw the blowby Stira rather than sucking it as you say its only on boost which generally means wornout compression rings. Might be time to dust off the compression tester and prepare yourself for the moment of truth.
