I was going to say - It looks like the scarles twin turbo piping... Have you just capped the 'primary turbo' end?

 

Aside from that I think the way you have done it looks great. Are you sure you cant fit some dark mesh in from of the pipework? Looks doable to me.

 

Nice and clean job!

 

Yeah its that kit. If you know what the piping is like on the stock WRX TMIC it bolts up to the piping fine. Will have to get a close up, its just the piping going into 2 then connected to the FMIC. Seems to boost fine and everything but I have heard that stock plastic pipe is shit, so not sure if I want to go another way or just a silicone kit they make for the Top Mount

 

The BOV hose looks a little shit as its the only thing I could find that was the right size, its clear hose with wire through it.

 

I was thinking it might not work as one side sits a bit further forward than the other. I was thinking liquid nails or something around it to hold it in? What has everyone else used?

 

Maybe plumbing the pod filter into the guard would give you less intake noise? Although that's how mine is setup and you can definitely hear it.

 

I was going to enclose it or something, I didnt like the idea of it down the guard. Only because it extends the length and water might be an issue as I don't want an oiled pod


Love the stealth look!

 

Its what i was going for! =)

Very nice!

I should just convert to single, right?

Still have the hard start problem when the tank is about 1/3 full, and it seems to struggle a bit. The only thing I can think of is maybe the fuel pump doesn't touch the bottom of the fuel tank and sucks some air up.

what fuel pump are you using mate? I know the Bosch units were starving about 1/3 of a tank on the circuit, vs the Walbro ones seem to get the fuel from a bit deeper in the tank.

 

Time for a surge pot?

I ended up getting a Deatschwerks DW65c as I called Al and he advised this one fits with no mods, which it did.

 

the picture on the previous page shows they are pretty much the same size so they should both sit around the same place in the tank.

Its not a massive problem as I can just fill up before it becomes a problem, but not sure how trips inter-state would go lol.

 

But over all I'm really happy with how the car performs, just need to go get a wheel alignment and have it checked over to make sure its running right.

 

I washed it last weekend and had some boost juice on the rear bumper, not much but is that kinda normal if its your first boosted car and are constantly on boost?

If its been tuned, it should be ok. Black on the bumper means its running a bit rich, which is generally better than the alternative...


MY00 Red RX, a nice daily that was sold off once the B4 became reliable...
MY02 Blue B4, aka 'The Project' - v8 JDM STi engine package and assorted other 'goodies' - Sold, then bought back for parts. Stripped and crushed.
MY03 Blue RX, the newer old daily, pretty well more B4 than RX now... In the process of being converted to the track toy... Watch this space!
MY02 Silver Wagon, H6 conversion, full blue/black leather and almost full black interior to go with it. In process of being stripped and sold off.
MY03 White/Silver H6 Outback, donor car for silver waghoon. Scrapped.
MY97 Silver RX, acquired to become track car, but plans changed. Scrapped.

MY13 BRG, current daily, very nice to drive, small mods to make it even nicer again.

Might mean a problem. Def get it checked at a reputable mechanics. Subaru dealer would almost certainly be a preferred place...

Which one in your guys opinion is a good one?

 

Would it matter which one if they are using the same sensor?

 

I might buy one and get the exhaust place to weld in the bung and get a new CAT while im at it.

I wouldn't say its that bad, but I wash my car every weekend so it doesn't get time to build up like some S15's going around.

 

It's not a thick amount all over the back, its like dots.

Hi Mate

 

With the DW65C, did you get a model specific one or did you get a universal one and order a new filter/sock from Subaru?

 

Cheers

Josh

I just bought this one:

 

http://www.tuspeed.c...rty-p-2162.html

 

As you can see its a kit for a 08+ WRX/Liberty, But it fits in with no mods. And I had bought a newer fuel pump assembly, so I used the sock off the fuel pump that was on it.
