I still have the battery connected so I can try that.

I removed air filter + MAF on one side. Intercooler pipework + screen wash bottle on the other side.

Is it safe to just turn the key over like that for a couple cranks?

Stunning lookin car and quality pics. That last one is the coolest with the wheel and caliper

Nice

Quick query for you folks.

I managed to flood my engine the other day due to problems with the map sensor + the bigger injectors fitter prior to remap. The map sensor was sending a duff signal back to the apexi so the car wouldnt idle unless revved, after a few attempts I gave up, dried out the map sensor but it led to the engine getting flooded.

Today I have removed the spark plugs and tomorrow I will be fitting new ones and doing an oil change.

My query is though, how can I be sure to remove any excess petrol in the cylinders. No petrol came out the spark plug holes but the plugs were damp. Can I turn the in any way to be sure the excess fuel is out of the cylinders or shall I just leave the holes open until tomorrow? Any excess fuel in there might just evaporate out or would it?

Remap on tuesday so this can has got be be running by then

Cheers

Im giving this engine 6 months and it doesn't break it is getting a 20g slung on until it breaks.

One way or another i will justify fitting a forged engine to my better half

Thats the spirit min. I bet its a flying machine now, quicker than all those ecutek'd newages

Rich

Will do fan I'm hame, a week on tuesday.

I think it was then bought at the auction when Indycar sales went bust by the 2nd last owner.

Is the bonnet a steel one, quite heavy? I think I remember it at the auction because myslef, euan and smilerAS were up for a look.

I think you've got yourself a cracker, i'll hav te come over for a nosey too

Rich

Cheers, I'll do that then, how long were you waiting?

You could contact KINGHORN. I think he will be cancelling his mapping date next tuesday 21st @ 9am. He's still awaiting parts

Rich

Remember and report it to the police.

Might be an idea to beef up the security on your car. Did your alarm not go off?

Rich

I thought it was a funny way of getting people involved in the thread imy and i think it worked

Thats a good idea with the weekly quiz

Cheers imy

Edit: yes i have apexi power fc

Cool, when can i get it. Maybe best pm'ing me when your free this week or weekend?

Oh aye 0 points, but I make the rules

So that puts me back to Zero!!!

If you need to use mine your more than welcome to take mine off to check! Dont have a spare one though!

20 points for guessing so you have....... 10 points now lol

Do you have the apexi ecu jon? It only takes a second to take this but out. If you have it then i'd like to try it

Rich

What about the map sensor to do with the boost system?

BINGO

This wee unit reads the vacuum & boost pressure then sends it back to the Apexi ecu and displays the reading on the commander.

I think it is the 2 bar map sensor.

Problem is that my apexi is displaying - - - - on the boost and the car will not idle when it see's this, then it stalls. It is tempromantal and at the moment is doing my head in. This is what stopped the car from running before the skye run, then it worked again and i thought it was a loose vacuum hose causing it.

I need to borrow one to see if it is this small piece of wizzardry that is stalling my car, or better still, if anyone has one to sell????

Well done jonboy, you have 10 points

5 points for grant for all the narrowing in on the answer hehe

**edit** could be something to do with an AVC-R though, since I think you have one of those also??

Your bloody hot there but not the AVCR

Reminds me of a small Defi Unit for gauges??

Cheers,

Grant

Similar but don't think your quite right there.

The defi part says defi on it I believe.

Ok, I may be misleading some of you with my sub topic.

It is not an OE subaru item, but is for a subaru

Im going to guess 'crank sensor'?

No.

-10 points

Is that a port for a piece of vacuum tubing on the bottom Rich?

Cheers,

Grant

Getting hot

on engine or gearbox ? and what year of car

Engine. 98 type R.

its a Foo Foo valve for the fluggelbinder, which compensates for the condition of the plutonium sulphate, no?

5 points for pish blethering

looks like an air temp sensor

Nope

Ok,

10 points to whoever can guess what this bit is and what it does?

I kinda know what it is and what it does as my one pictured is tempromental and I need to either borrow one (to see if it is faulty) or buy one from anyone who has a spare?

20 points and some cash for anyone who wants to sell me one

Rich

That car sounds mental in the youtube vid, quality

Rich

I dont think you'll need any power upgrades until you lose as much weight as you can, and as you say, upgrade brakes & suspension.

Now get a trackday booked
