Whilst I'm not as engine pulling inclined as you boys, I'm pretty clued on if you want  a hand with shit Wob. I liked Jamie's car, and would like the opportunity to help you with it.....perhaps for some hoist time for my Foz so I can finally fit my kartboy endlinks....#SlackLyf

 

 

Also 'Start' owes me for the heads up I gave him for his career/dead end job. I still own top cover for that kid.

Haha I'll keep it in mind

Pretty sure I'm doing it at home on the driveway

Can't afford to have The car sitting around dead in the shop for that long

Boo big end Yaaaay 207 & Haltech

[Robert]

sooooo 

 

Big thanks to Mark he gave me a hand today picking up the motor in the Maloo 

 

Turns out the motor was wired in with a flying lead loom, which is actually a better way to wire up the motor

so i got that with the motor too, now comes the tedious task of figuring out which wire does what.... fun 

 

Need to find a 99 Wrx ecu pin out 

also need to figure out how the temp gauge is going to work, since the original wiring is no longer going to the factory ecu

 

 

Started by pulling all the tape off the loom where i could, figured out a few of the critical things 

but yep, still a lot to do 

 

way over my head lol 

[Bumpty]

way over my head when I popped the bonnet once.

[Lukeoly]

Awesome news about the loom man.
If you take your time and double check everything, you'll be fine ;-)
Any idea what ECU was being used in the old car?
You might be able to save some time by finding what wires are assigned to what by default

[Robert]

PS1000 same as mine 

 

so will just plug in and work basically, but yeah i need to take some inputs and outputs from my car 

then set it all up in the software 

[Robert]

As for the factory ecu side of things
It's just a 99 wrx pin out

Need to find one
But seems as if I only need a couple of wires from the factory ecu anyway

[Bumpty]

I may have a few wires kicking around you could borrow, if you like?

[Robert]

Not much has happened really

Figured out most of the wires, uploaded my modified basemap to the ecu all seems to be working well, won't really know till I start it up though

Been collecting a shitload of parts, for the early 100k service
Genuine Timing belt kit
Cast sti water pump
Every external oil seal
Braided Avcs turbo feed line
Company 23 timing belt guide
Grimnspeed double thickness 3 bolt up pipe gasket for non leakyness from the psr equal lengths

Haltech IO expander cause the ps1000 hasn't got enough inputs and out puts
Flex sensor

So exciting times to come

[Barbbachello]

skids

[Robert]

nope
Second gear will be scattered all over the ground

[Adam]

Yay

[Bumpty]

Scatter chops!

[Robert]

So bit of progress

Genuine timing kit
Replaced cam and crank seals
New sti cast water pump
New idlers and tensioner
New genuine belt
Rocker cover gasket
Spark plug seals
Bolt seals
New Avcs oil line



Just need to do a rear main seal and she's ready to drop in

Adrian is making me up a bracket so I can remount the wastegate actuator, so the compressor housing is able to be clocked for shorter pipe work


Got some goodies from company 23 and Grimnspeed



This is what happens when you use a gates racing belt, boooo!

[Bumpty]

Shit update, nice progress.

[motoboy76]

Top stuff Rob.....

 

Looking good.....

[Robert]

So close but so far !

[Reevesy]
