insane clown

lol....

yeh, been up there a couple of times lately, canary wharf.. to the O2... south london... up to the wheel and back along the embankment to canary wharf again..... was side by side with another forester and that was it..... no subaru's...... (and i got caught in the zone, forgot to add me fozzy to the auto pay )

and i went up to elstree studios last week...not a single scoob anywhere, even on M25.... at least i showed the locals what me fozzy sounds like going through the various tunnels at just a touch more legaly than the limit.....

BUT the one that has stuck in his mind....... is bright PINK ..... any ideas who she....or he may be ??

he did say he has never seen so many scoobs whilst driving untill he went to cornwall

all the best[Y]..[D] [^][G]

Obviously when the chip was removed the car felt slow but with the other chip it feels just as good, prob not as aggressive power but definately the same sort of power.

I don't know what it is about zerosports stuff over here, must be to do with what the customer in japan wanted or sommat. Some seem fine and others not too good.

Bill (greer) had a classic with a zerosports ecu along with some other zerosports bits. It had 3 boost settings (iirc) and would only run on setting 1 ( the least boost) even with the octane upped.

intresting, i have just the chip and mods below.. chip was set at 18psi boost, took it down manualy to 17 psi, but over fuels loads, hence the huge bangs ect..just feel the over fueling should be used in the engine rather than out the zoorst!..gonna try my other one which is set 15.5 psi but also for uk fuel, no bangs with this one so i'll see what it does with the power output[Y]

cheers, mark

Good stuff gus, a bit late but my board was fitted by zerosports in japan. The car detted like mad with the chip in on our fuel so i had to remove it. Now running another chip (thought to be scoobyecu but may not be...long story).

I now get 1.1 bar in lower gears upping to 1.3 bar in 4th and 5th. Although i may be getting a little boost creep, never goes over 1.3 so i'm happy.

hi matey, noticed you have zerosports too, i'm stil not convinced about mine either, i have the old eprom chip in another ecu, was thinking about changing to be on safe side, did you find any performance changes ie: low gear torque, boost?...cheers matey....the one thing i'll miss is the humungus bangs and flames with the zerosports, better off keeping the engine in one piece i spose eh!!..

mark

hi matey, don't forget to take out the J1 resister!.....(but keep it safe incase) this will then by-pass the stock map and use your chip.

useless information!. but just incase as i didn't see a mention of the J1[Y]

mark 

look really nice mate... i'm a gun metal type of fan but those do look right, a mate of mine has those fitted to his silver wrx. let us know how you get on with those paradas, i got 215/40/17's on mine and it's all over the shop in the wet, tonnes of understeer, but hey......fekin great in the dry[Y]..and nice tread pattern[]

mark

i'm guessing...325bhp...maybe more but can't remember what one you have [:S]

Hi! mate welcome to the club!....yep thats right you can't re-map the standard ecu, check to see what one you have though matey, >>passenger footwell, take the trim off along the door step, pull the carpet back, undo the bolts/nut on the plate...you'll see a 2 digit code on top of case on ecu eg:...mine says W6.., post again what you find, your boost could be anything between 11-13 psi depending on ecu...so i don't think your gauge is far out?.

don't over do it with the manual boost controler, wind it in about 1/4 turn at a time, i have mine set at 17 psi... i took it down from the 18 psi my chipped ecu is running, invest in a walbro 255 fuel pump, change your injectors for at least 440's if you can find some for your phase!.....if your happy with that then go for your new ecu and map.

have a look at you intercooler too, you have the slanty one?...either go for another upgraded top mount or front mount.

good luck,

mark

it's getting there matey!....front bumper with fog lights would sort that end out, what sort of back box you after?...somthing like a jap style 4.5" would sound lovely, []

mark

hi tony, sure i've seen you about, the car is distingtive, i'll keep my eye out for you, and i'll find a piccy of mine just incase you pass me!!....all you need is a bonett, grill, and bumper...and that'll look like a turbo[Y]....b/ boxes you can pick up cheap now,.. i got an old 3.5" magnex in me garden .... my first box i bought!!.. but got a TSL group n fitted now and was only £175 new..very good value and quality.

mark

hey-up Rob!!!.....looked for ya in harlow matey few week back, i see the dark stickered up classic as clockwork on southern way, were you at potter street?...i'm up there again on wednesday.... her mums birthday...yippee

mark

Hi! mate, welcome to the club[Y].... i used to use 15/40 in my turbo wagon...but now 22b-andy does my oil service coz you get a free hot chocolate while you wait []..as for the drive shafts....i would imagine they are the same fitment.. but unsure really..

now, have you a piccy of your motor mate, coz i'm quite local and up untill last July i lived in point clear bay, i'm always in and out of clacton so may of seen you about, i have a green classic uk turbo wagon as below.[]

mark

that's ok mate......we like to help...[A]...[]

mark

hi mate welcome to the club, don't waste your money going to a garage to find the problem, there are4 plugs under steering column, 2x black and 2x green, they may be taped up nice and tidy, just undo so you can get to them. the 2 black conectors once connected will check for fault codes (your flashing cel light)....and if you conect the green ones too....this will do a reset after you have checked the codes...my advise is to just conect the black ones and watch your cel light, it will flash out a code...i'll put a link up so you can have a look
