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...

Not the knock, just the underboosting. Without the pill the Wastegate would not regulate and the car would not past 7psi

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.

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 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...

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)...
