tyvm for the help much appreciated.

thankyo do you know much about the ecu's in these things i checked the ecu it says J2 on the main label? but has sti v6 on the top of the casing? can these be reflashed for a new map or must i change the unit?

hi ty for the reply i started today having not driven 3 days blue smoke puff and a slight blue to exhaust 3-5seconds then went? so youd say tha6s normal on sti v5 engine?

is it likely to be rings failing or just common to these engines?

oh i do have a fuel regulator fitted aswell but i wouldnt have a clue how to set that up right if it isnt right now as was on the car when i got it? has the ol guage on it etc.

it has a blitz nur spec r rear box and full system is 3"ID but there is 1 small center box no caton downpipe section.

Hi all trying to get some general info together before i have a price heart attack at powerstation when i go for a tune

Engine is a semiclosed block wrx sti (v5) ej207 with metal head gaskets

Injectors 440cc

Version 6 J2 ecu

VF28 turbo (water-oil fed)

Forge bov (have standard aswell so can revert to original)

Top mounted sti intercooler (with standard bonnet scoop)

Any idea what a safe max tune can reach on that kinda setup before more upgrades are required???

And what the most cost effective way to go about it would be?

Hi guys n girls new to subarus as of last week my 98 sti has just started to develope a blue puff in the morning when i start up,as far as i can tell it doesnt smoke after that only on start up its an initial cloud which starts to disipate straight after and smells oily any ideas as to what this could be?

2nd thing i noticed is in 5th if im cruising about 60mph and floor it boost comes in strong seems to ease off a little then comes back strong again

as far as i know engines a stock sti with metal gaskets and new fuel regulator

as for oil level dropping i cant tell as i havent driven much so that im not sure of? noticed a little oil above the recirc bov on the topmount intercooler(both standard fit?

any help would be appreciated

ty for the reply put my mind at ease although mine has a new vf28 on im toying with going td05 turbo walbro pump and larger injectors im guessing to reach 350 thats all i need?

Anyone know what kind of power a p1 gearbox with the final drive ration of 4.14 can safely handle? as im heading to scoobyclinic next month to have the engine looked over and have a map im wondering before i start buying injectors and a larger capacity turbo what the safe limit is? it unlikely im going to be doing any drag type starts but the last thing i want to have too worry about is blowing the diff or gearbox

any advise would be much appreciated as this is my 1st subaru and ive only had her sice friday currently its pushing a nats hair under 330bhp.

agree'd awd+defo a scoop blended in there would be a lovely finishing touch..

ty appreciated:) needs a clean and a map i know very little about scoobs but always loved them any idea if a j2 type r ecu(what ever that is) can be remapped some place like scoobie clinic?

i want to get it remapped asap as its got intercooler injectors exhaust panel filter fuel regulator.... going to try push for between 330-350 when i have a walbro pump to replace the p1 stock pump.

Hi all having wanted a scooby since about 23 i finally 10 years later got round to it and picked up a 98 metalic green 4 door seems mildly moddified but very much oem outside(which is my style)
