Its something that seems to be the same with most gen3's in my experience, not just the 251's. My H6 did it, although much less noticeable with the auto. And the 201 that was in the GX also did it. But. All of my cars have all had reasonably high to very high kms. H6 had around the 360 to 370 mark, 201 had 390, and the old 251 I had that was doing it was 230ish. I've got no idea what causes it, but I'll be very interested in what you find out. It would stand to reason that the IACV or TPS would be the culprit though.

If I find some time in the next few weeks, I can have a look at the old 201 engine thats sitting out the back of the shed.

Edit, the reason I thought about this recently just came into my head... Last week this happened to me in the gen5. Very light throttle input results in a disproportionate increase in revs, particularly once the car is at temp.
Hence why this post peaked my interest Bennie!

Awesome, thanks for the update there Dylan, and the pesky errors that used to plague me when posting about unsecured site have vanished, beautiful work!

And we're back again lol. See if this one comes through, or if my phone is still cracking the sads with subyclub...

Hope everyone is well, glad to hear things are still coming along nicely there Bennie!
I seem to remember a post in this thread from Jasehoon, but it seems to have disappeared... Hopefully everything is good!

Bought a few new things for the gen5, another set of black trims so I could get cheap visors, need to get off my arse and sell the rest of the trims, recoup some costs.
LED Valenti tails, cos why not.
Alloy front lower control arms, cos the steel ones needed new bushes (worn inner edges of tyres, typical subaru). They were cheap compared to local prices, and came with brand new bushes already fitted, so I'll take an upgrade over replacements any day of the week.

Arms are somewhere between sydney and home from the slow boat shipping, and tails are also somewhere between japan and sydney, once again on the slow boat.

Gen3 is still on the hoist, midway through pulling the 5spd out for the 6spd to go in, but haven't had the time to get out there and do anything proper on it. Still need to source a plated diff of the correct ratio, but I've been spending money on my other hobby, so not much has really happened on the gen3 front. I'll get there...

Anyways, until the next not so soon update, keep well all!

Well, might just be my phone that's getting upset - a cheeky post using the work computer seems alright it seems!!!

Good to be back! I need to update a few threads...

 

How's everyone going?
