Go for 0.7mm gap otherwise high boost (1.45 Bar or more) could blow out the spark due to the gap being too high.

Ciaran - even though its a flying visit you can pop past and pick up the exhaust if your in the area or you can wait until you back up on Wednesday and get it via Duncan.

Highly recommend Pauls Sportcats!

The 3" Revolution system (Full Decat) is a GREAT piece of kit too!.

Surely if they are so **** Subaru would have sorted that by now? Like upgraded them?

WHY? - They can keep you buying spare ones every 12 months or so until you sell the Scoob. Your tied in until you go MAF-less

mate, try a search for 'boost' or 'MAF' in the 'Strictly Technical' loads of similar posts there. does your car idle lumpy? have you connected the 2 black connectors under the steering column to check for faults? is your car standard apart from the center de-cat?

That might not work on the Dodgy MAF issue as the ECU compensates for the Dodgy MAF and doesn't think it is KAPUT and therefore doesn't show a CEL code. DARN CARS!

Keep us updated on how it goes.

Russell

lol T for ta ta lol

more like T for "totally laggy on a 2.0 with non-AVCS heads"

Unless a 2.5 and AVCS heads are on the list in which case, ROLL ON!!!!!!!!

Russell

I unplugged the MAF and it didnt seem to make a difference (which I thought it would if it was knackered?)

If you have unplugged the MAF with the car idling and it continue to idle - THE MAF IS DEAD!!

Change it out for one of the "Green Dot" ones - a little more resiliant.

Russell

Meercat can source alloy pipe but bends are the difficult ones to get

Merlin ship NEXT DAY with all different sizes and bends. That's where I got all my alloy stuff from

Trade account with them which certainly helped

Russell

current Tyre pressures (F/R)?

There is another Scooby club in Aberdeen (still with lots of SIDC members) which holds REGULAR monthly meets at the Cocket Hat or Tippin Hatter.

There's one on the 6th of May if your interested?

PM for more info.

NUMPTY! - always one guy who thinks he's rally-driver/invincible...................... but with kids in the car = AR$EH0LE!

Ryan - easier option is to remove the Cam sensor (RHS of the engine, in front and below the Oil Fillup Pipe, just above the Cam Covers, either a GREY or BLACK plug). This means the ECu doesn't know the Cam position so it cuts the Spark an dthe Injector pulse...... meaning the car will turn over but not fire.

Remember to plug it back in with the IGNITION OFF

CEL will go on for a few seconds when turnign the ignition back on and firing the car up but it will go out.

Hope that helps?

Russell

I normal line of answering this is "380 is about your limit on 2.5, dependant on car" but Andy does know his onions when it comes to this

Thing is that 3" can reduce your torque curve compared to the 2.5 so the car feels different. Its about how the car feels and the "area under the curve" that's important.

Safest option..........................3" exhaust with a Decat D/P that has a 2.5" flange down at the C/S. this keeps the torque you love (kick in the back) and then is a cheap change of D/P to go full 3"

Russell

Duncan - stop talking about it and just get registered for it.

Car is meant to be driven, not sitting in a car park for most of its life

As Gus stated, he supplied me 2 Sports Cat 100Cell D/P for 270 each....................

Build quality was VERY GOOD and I HIGHLY recommend them for these!!

Russell

Russell,

wasn't forgetting about you, definatley would point my mate in your direction but didn't think you were back yet. April your back.........I'll see how things are going with my RB5, a 2.5 could well be on the cards.

Bet you've already got a crowd of folk battering your door down looking to get some work done.

Al.

I understand what your saying Al - I'm just sad that our 5 month holiday down here couldn't be more "permanent"

List of people wanting stuff done gets bigger every day, but room can always be made for preferred personnel"

Russell

Possibly one of the best bets is BHP Developments.. That's assuming Wuz is in the country at the time

Not for a while yet.............................. far too busy enjoying the sunshine in OZ (been here almost 4 months now and LOVIN' IT!)

Back in April

Russell

Standard Metric thread pitch for an M12 bolt is 1.5 Subaru use "Metric Fine" thread pitch on their M12 which makes it 1.25

"R"

Are you getting a spark on any of the plugs?

What you want is an 8 X 18, ET35, PCD 5 X 100................................... Same as the VW Golf

Fortunately the Germans love their deep dish rims so finding this size in a deep dish style WILL BE PRETTY EASY

Have fun!

Russell

Andy F set mines up but i dont know what the levels were.

A few threads over on scoobynet.

Cal - each engine is different based on build (piston rattle, etc), fuel used, etc and so the threshold varies from car to car so you'd best speak to your original Mapper who will have the details stored for each car they mapped

Russell

AFAIK, only the JDM pre-97 car Classics had a EGT sensor (diplayed via the "Cat-on-fire" light on instrument Cluster) so I too am intrigued to know where this EGT sensor is on your MY00 Classic?

I believe it's at the end of the down pipe, near the beginning of the main exhaust section.

MY00 - your car is a Classic isn't it?

Unless it is a MY94 UK car then NO!

No port size changes, etc betweent the UK/WRX/STi Inlet Manifold, same thing but painted!
