What have you done to your car today?

[Roo]

I like to keep clean oil and plugs in my car so I just do it that way, plugs are $16 through work for me

Atm it\'s fouling them pretty quick, still not 100% sure why but i\'m looking into it, just appears to be way too rich at this stage

I ain\'t no expect on this stuff, but how is your AFM and o2? Maybe the fouling is being caused by one of them beginning to fail?

[Marky]

how much time do you spend on the bee r limiter haha

thatll foul them up pretty well given its spark cut only

[Roo]

Afm is repaired so it\'s better than new, o2 sensor is possible, uses a tank a week just going to work and a little weekend driving.

Was doing it before the bee*r but I certainly used it a bit when I had it lol it\'s been returned now

[sl8r]

got mine corner weighed again and am really happy with what it turned out weighing.

Arent you running high boost and untuned stock ecu?

Yep 22psi with vf22 on the 6s. Needs more link!

[funkytown]

jeeepers. waaay to much boost for a 22. pointless as and good way to smoke your motor dude.

[Johnnynz]

Surely that would be pinging away at 22 PSI on a stock ECU... We didnt even go that high when my Link and VF22 got tuned recently.

[funkytown]

correct. NO vf likes more than about 19psi tuned well

[Johnnynz]

We touched twenty but have scaled back a little to 19-19.5ish PSI for the same result.

[Marky]

will likely go faster with less boost

will be fouling plugs cause the ecu is prob dumping fuel in wholesale to try and hold things together

[94 Leone]

If you\'re running a stock ECU: the smart thing is to run stock boost. Unless: your stock ecu is tuned for more than stock boost.

Actually sometimes a psi or 2 more doesnt hurt as factory ecus are tuned rich for different markets. Obviously checked with a wideband.

[funkytown]

and definitely not a few psi as in the above example(roo). how that doesnt pop is beyond me.

[Guest]

IIRC hes building another block so not worried. Id rather keep it a little safe and spend time and money building everything slightly better. That way you can reuse turbo, oil pump and other bits.

[Roo]

the 6S seems to love it.

Hasn\'t gone pop yet still runs sweet as the day I got it, personally I am very surprised it hasn\'t blown up myself. It gets raaaaped, even survived the couple days it was open wastegate spiking to 30 psi (accident and fixed it as soon as I realised what it was)

If it blows then i\'ll fix it but until then i\'m leaving it as i\'ve had no issues and it\'s been like this for 6 months+

as I am between ebc\'s atm I have it on stock solenoid but it\'s still hitting 20psi in 2nd, 22 in 3rd and fuel cut 4th and 5th. Been meaning to get opinions on it but not too worried as it won\'t be for long.

Finally finished putting new clutch in, now all I need is a front half shaft and ready to rock and roll!! Good old v3 sedan haha

[Koom]

Today I went and collected it from the workshop and brought it home for the first time in over three years. Was nice to see it parked in my garage again! Now to tinker away and finish it off!

Pics. Bodywork all fixed and tuned?

This is why Subarus get a reputation for being unreliable.

At 22psi the ECU should be freaking the f*ck out, 6S or not, unless you\'re intercepting the MAP signal in which case it\'s going to be underfueling anyway. Sounds like a recipe for disaster.

Funky - new-age VF\'s (30, 34, 36, 37) seem to do alright at 20-21psi, especially through 3500-4500rpm.

[funkytown]

il rephrase - they wont hold that boost up top, nor be helping make any more power than say 19<=22.

[Guest]

No being a dick but mine doesnt fall over holds right to the top 20psi then 21-22psi in 4/5th. G4 c/l though. I have no idea if it would make the same power on lower boost left that to the tuner. Turbos running out but injectors maxed so no noticeable gains to be had anyway. Couple of niggles Id like to sort but I achieved what I set out to do just the goalposts keep moving.

i have seen 20psi ish held with a good ebc and external gate on a vf23

didnt think 22pis wud be possible on no matter what setup but be keen to see plots cos that will be awsum stuff right there

Where are the pics Koom? We have been staring at the old sig for 3 years
