    So I have decided to go with a full kit from RCM but with out the exhaust manifold as I already have that part this brings costs down by £600 plus the sale of my existing turbo and various other bits will reduce the purchase to £2550 .

    Can anyone shed some light on any unforeseen problems that I may encounter? or point me to someone who can . I would just add im looking to avoid Enginetuner.

    bar from having ro much room LOL. 

    length of Turbo oil pipes

    I assume you have to raise/space up the induction headers. 

    You might need to upgrade clutch fluid mutol RBF600 still dot4 but better boil points than dot 5 or 5.1

    lag and or heat sheild.

    Now then Floz. Cheers for the warm welcome. It’s a private sale. Appears very well looked after with regular services etc. He seems to be an enthusiast and has owned multiple models. Hopefully my lift is going to be my expert! I’ll update with pictures if she comes home with me!! 

    Hi Jeffers,

    a warm possible welcome. The STi 09 hatch, i assume its a UK version so a 2.5ltr. it would be a 2.0ltr if JDM.

    i own a 2011 sti UK saloon and need to warn you that there has been some common issue with the 2.5ltr engines.  Listed below are bands roughly effected.

    Although some done 100k mile and perfect but saying that my 2.5ltr lasted only 2.5 yrs an 19k miles

    2006 to 2012 ring land failure  15k miles to 55k miles

    2006 to 2009   head gasket failure 12k m to 40k m

    Biggest influense is how much power it runs, how often hit limiter, how good, oils and luck.

    330 if PPP or ProR pack. 

    Most wont touch a 2.5ltr Scoob unless uprated head stud and forged pistons.

    long test drive essential 20 to 40 miles

    see exhaust on cold start, check water & oil cap

    see exhaust on hot start after run, check all again

    lock to lock forwards and backwards right and left.

    water temp should never vary.

    Engine rebuilds circ ￡5k to ￡10k so not cheap

    Hello everyone,  after some period of inactivity and being Subaru-less for 4 years, I am now back to the fold with a 2008 Impreza 20th anniversary.

    I've previously owned a 2007 WRX wagon, a 2006 Forester STi and a 2004 Forester STi.

    I am looking forward to seeing you in the forthcoming meetings.

    :hello:

     

    welcome back, i reconise the user name from the past. :whistle:

    Good question ! ? Coventry 

    as its release bearing issue, maynot need flywheel!!!! After 2nd clutch normally needs flywheel depending on driver. :whistle: but definately change flywheel bearing. :ay:

    if does needs flwheel, get ACT lightened.

    Caution on very cheap fleabay parts. i used to get mid range pice and top quality at AS performance

    approx. as guide

     ￡150-350  Exedy range from 230mm 5 speed kit

    ￡100-250 fitting depends on hourly rate, cash job and experience.

    ￡15 gearbox oil 

    ￡15 Fwheel brg

    so without Fwheel circa￡400 - 450  with￡620-700

    I think what Tony is trying to show is

    On this diagram it's item 32

    This is an expansion box which for MY10 onwards was replaced on some models with just a resonator.

    As the UK wrx-s is a PPP'd (Prodrive Performance Package) car it may already have the 2nd cat removed and have a Prodrive backbox (silencer) ??? so the next logical step would be to replace the centre pipe with a straight through.

    Thanks Don ? I think prodrive left the resonator in on some models only tanking our 2nd Cat. But not 100% on that

    If you have box that looks like a squashed water bottle then that’s the resonator
