  1. i think the guy did have some little niggles with the stock ecu and idle using this faster iat sensor

    its a bummer the ttgt is down...such a wealth of knowledge

    Mapper reckons the stock ones are shite.

    and i've always heard the stock one was kind of slow to respond, but when datalogging it appears to do a decent job for me

    but maybe the faster response ones will just do an even better job??--i don't know

  2. 5efe bottom end?....have you ever checked to see which rods are in there?...if it's the thinner 5efe rods, then back in the day persons have reportedly ran a maximum of 10/12psi....some persons have reportedly found the thicker 5efhe rods in some 5efe engines, but all that is just what i've read over the years

    i can for sure say that the thicker 5efhe rods hold up very well at higher boost levels with a decent tune.

  3. i rate this member/seller very highly

    excellent communication and was willing to ship overseas---even made sure to find the best rates

    the item itself was in very good condition

    i would 100% do business again

    :thumbsup:

    I would while its off it makes sense. you don't have to just check for wear. just remember not to over tighten when you refit or you will destroy the bearings. 

    cheers nick  

    that last part is very important...don't overtighten 

  5. just to update

    Subaru top feed injectors from 2002+ wrx and 2007+ sti will fit our 4e/5e fuel rails

    make sure to get all the subaru specific seals/o-rings with the injectors when you buy them or better yet, replace with new Subaru specific seals/o-rings (3 on each injector)

    the electrical connectors are the same and they are high imp

    you will need to remove the black plastic spacers from the starlet fuel rail and just use the two metal spacers only, as the Subaru injectors are shorter

    you will need to cut the two fuel rail bolts or buy new ones (65mm - 75mm)

    the car will need to be tuned for sure, the spray pattern is said to be better than the older style madza gtx/rx7 360cc, 460cc and 550cc injectors

    these injectors can be bought "used" for very reasonable prices off the various Subaru forums and eBay, i'd suggest taking  them to be fully services, cleaned and flow tested to make sure they are working prpoerly---i'd strongly suggest buying genuine injectors and avoiding cheap knockoffs

    now this gives members more options to choose from and depending on what your want to achieve with your car---information taken from the nasioc website

    https://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1218460

    Is there a list of top feed injector sizes for the 2002+ WRX and 2007+ STI?

    OEM 2002-2005 WRX 420 cc
    JDM STi "pinks" 550 cc
    OEM 2006+ WRX 560 cc (also known as "blues")
    OEM 2007+ STI 560 cc
     

  6. yeah...that makes two of us and a whole lot of people on the internet....lol

    if EMU/EMB are still being manufactured, then a software upgrade would be useful.

    i suppose with the reasonably priced standalone options, piggybacks are not as popular as before 

  7. well, this is a bit different, but anyways,

    i purchased a part from him, but the transaction got messed up with the international shipping (NO fault of his).

    after trying to help me out as best he could, he ended up giving me a refund.

    throughout the entire deal his communication was excellent and he went above and beyond to try to assist me

    so positive feedback for this member :thumbsup:

  8. well,,,what i ended up doing was buying a used laptop with windows XP on it-----older compatible software, i can't remember up to what windows year/version works now (maybe vista)

    on my newer windows 7/8 (at the time), even when i tried a partition set up based on what an IT friend recommended, it did not work/communicate/connect

    i could open the greddy program, but i couldn't do anything else on the newer windows based laptop ...no suitable drivers

     

     

     

  9. it seems so difficult to find that clutch set up between a heavy duty pressure plate/sprung organic clutch and the heavy duty pressure plate/sprung 6 puk clutch....that is still driveable daily/traffic, easy on the transmission, no noise, wont eat through your flywheel, wont bend your fork

    that's another issue i observed over the years,,,some persons with those extremely hard pressure plates and twin plate set ups, end up with bent/snapped clutch forks down the road and broken throw out bearings

    i have a spec fitted fucking cunt of a yoke but does it job well  never slips 

    CONS 

    jurks hard if the revs are to low on take off 

    wont release out of second gear on plenty of occasions 

    ENGAGEMENT somethimes launches the car forwards when not wanted 

    but hey its ok you get used to it ha ha

    I'll second that, if I known it would be like that I would of got a orc or or os giken instead. I'm not really a fan of spec clutches now  

     

    is this just the spec brand or just really common among these 6 or 4 puk clutches in general? ..i was hoping the sprung centre would have negated a significant amount of that shaking/judder

    knowing me, i'd have a major issue with any excessive juddery and noise, especially as i'd probably be in traffic of some nature on almost any drive i take

    I’v had two comp Clutches stage 4 sprung in both my Glanza over the years from idworkz and they both been great . Little bit of a bastard in long traffic jams but other then that they are good . The one thing I would do is put a genuine release bearing in though and bin the comp one off as they get noisy quick :thumbsup: Toby 

    tnx colin and t-dog

    what the exact issue with traffic t-dog?

  12. i'm hoping to get some members' experiences on these two clutch set ups which are supposed to handle 300bhp etc based on my readings here and generally. 

    basically both kits consist of a  performance pressure plate, sprung 6 puk clutch disc, bearing and alignment tool

    really just two different brands i suppose

    now i'm trying to find out how they would feel in a daily driven car?---juddery?...stock or hard gear engagement?...stock/moderate/hard pedal feel?....any installation problems?....how long have you been running thme (km/miles)?

    Anyone know the torque ratings of these two kits? 

    i'd prefer something that feels as close to stock as possible, well within reason given they are uprated

    i was also looking at the CC stage 3, but not sure about its longevity at higher torque

    all views welcomed

  13. all those turbos mentioned, and a few others, will get you 300bhp.

    LSD will help a lot as Gainzy said....but there will be no avoiding wheel spin at that power level, more of a case of trying to minimise it :D

    and i agree with Gainzy again somewhat, but would add maybe 225-275 bhp as a decent starlet. Once you start approaching 300bhp it gets more intense

  14. as you have the Subaru flange manifold, then td05 16g, vf35, vf34, vf28,----or equivalent billet hybrid to these items.

    items you can save on by continuing to use the oem parts----fuel rail and "maybe" rrfpr...the stock ones work fine

    if going with emanage, i'd recommend emanage ultimate...its an improvement on the blue and not much more cost wise
