Between the SDM or JDM both have advantages and disadvantages. WRX. The SDM wrx does not put out the power that the JDM does out of the box. The JDM WRX (which you really dont seem to see much of since the 02 model) comes with AVCS on the heads and a such better spool and HP. The SDM however come wi...
He is talking about cooling the oil in a WRX box. To tell you the truth I am not entirely sure it can be done effectively. Most people just strengthen the box of go with a dog gearset. The problem with installing an oil cooler is you must have directed flow. The gearbox unfortunately doesnt accomoda...
The 5 speed box have been known for failures. Not from launching though. The box itself doesnt provide enough fluid circulation to keep the gearsets cool and lubricated. The constant changes in hightemps causes some of the gears to develop hairline cracks over time. These cracks are further exploite...
The 2004TS is a not a bad investment but it depends what you are looking for. With body kit and external bolt ons you would have a nice looking headturner. If you into music there is enough space to do you hearts desire. If you into performance look into a WRX or STI. Budget dictates. With the 2004 ...
Knight1 is giving good advice there. Opensourse is not witchcraft as some people would like to suggest. Its a matter of eliminating knock to save the engine and then adding some power once you get in that safe zone. Ecutec uses the same method of tuning as opensource all and except that they added s...
There are guys doing opensource. lot cheaper but you would not get the guarentee of ECUTEK.lol
you could also DIY buy a cable get a map from someone who tuned their car and flash it to yours. Would work out a lot cheaper. The cables cost about US$90
Nah, running a BC in a subaru is like trying to instal windows 3.1 in a IMAC. Its going backwards. The Subaru ECU can control Boost and Wastegate efficiently. If you looking for more response just throw in a Prodrive or Perrin Electrontic boost control solenoid. The whole idea of the ECU controlling...
Yep it seemed that when the IAM dropped (because of knock detected) the mechanic tried to troubleshoot as though it was a mechanical issue, not a ECU controlled failsafe. As such he removed the injector pill, install MBC, did some other costly stuff and still didnt work. All that was corrected and t...
This wasnt a knock issue (even though the car was knocking), the previous mechanic pulled out the injector pill from the wastegate vacuum hoses. That was sorted out. Good to go now.
So meh bro buying a TS, reach the part that he getting the insurance. This is almost close of play Friday evening and they stayed back to help him. So the CSR taking all the information from him. So he ask what kind of vehicle. My bro says Subaru, the agent stops throw up his hands and says oh gorsh...
Hey Knight1 is right about the tuning options. When I hear mechanics advising to put boostcontrollers in a Subaru then I know he in the 90s. Subys work better withou them. You want boost control, the stock ecu can be patched to accomodate it. Soon to be available. Other than thet get a UTEC and plug...
oh hell, this is typical of IAM dropping below 4. Listen an obdII reader would not pick up knock at this point because your IAM has dropped so low to prevent knock. not to mention once you go that low you switch to a very very rich fuel map. You car is fine. It need some maintainence and tuning for ...
I am one of those people. The GSM alarms on the dual band gave nothing but hell. Since then a lot of sellers have pulled the product off the market. I spent a lot of time on R&D and am now selling Angel GPS VTS (Vehicle tracking system) The alarms work with quad band so both networks can work. You a...
I agree with knight1 in this regard. Get your car checked by a mechanic but find one who is familiar with the ECU not only the engine. Some mechanics would look at your problem as a mechanical one (eg boost leak, failing turbo etc). One mechanic even had a customer change his clutch on a STi for a I...
oookkk....its definate that the synchros need changing....the 1,2 and 3 gotta change....not so much the 3rd but i'll change it anyway since the grinding noise happns on the downshift frm 4th... K if you cant get them send me a PM and I will put you on to my suppliers. They can get OEM stuff for you...
Synchros are easy to replace but its better to get at them an inspect Perhaps, but the modus operandi of most mechanics locally is (understandably), that if you have to take down your 'box to "inspect" the syncrhos, it's probably a better deal to just go and replace them anyways (for the most part)...
^^Reverse is not a problem as that's due to the slant/cut of the gears teeth on the reverse cog, as to normal forward drive gears. You need to pause a bit b4 going into reverse. Keep getting that grating and your gearbox will hate you. :lol: :lol: Bought a 5fwd 1.6 2002 model couple weeks a back an...
Finally a minister who actually has a sporting background and understands how it feels on th otherside of the fence so to speak TTASA doesnt need to be disbanded but policies and operations need to be reviewed TTASA should just be the governing body that overseas motorsports and ensures that each d...
I will be acquiring a 2004 WRX turbo (non-STi) soon and will be looking to make some basic changes soon after. I am seeking advice on where to go locally for the following parts and for their installation: Front Mount Intercooler (not very large) Street Performance Brake pads Cold Air Intake Boost ...
I find it strange that you were calling around and search on TSOC and didnt hear from me before. Not to mention I bought stuff from you already. There are limited successful Subaru Tuners in Trinidad. ECUTEK is number one. Jason Laing is the contact. After that Jusidle (TSOC) or myself. I heard some...
