Yeah and it ended up in the creek :devil: .... saw it down at Mantas last week.

I hope this vehicle description is not right - if it is an original (and worth mega $$$) why would you rally it? :P

Negative on the Power FC, Andrew.

I don't understand.

Im fairly sure my #6 coilpacks is stuffed, hence why im changing coilpacks. Once the engine gets warm..after 10 minutes, it breaks into 5 cylinders, and make's WRX owners envious of my engine.

However, tonight, i did not have an issue at all..drove for about 40 minutes, except for this problem of it limiting itself to 4500rpm.

I'm going to have to assume it has something to do with the coilpacks, as the problem has just 'magically' disappeared, but this new problem has come about.

AFM wouldnt be knackered, it would be obvious there was earlier im the rev range i would think?

i dunno what coilpacks u need but i got around 6 here that are 2nd hand for the rb26 - i know a couple are buggered but u should be able to use one of them if theyre compatible with ur engine/ecu setup

If the redtop RB20 uses the same coilpacks as the silvertop RB20 it should be fine.

Was originally going to go with Yellow Jacket coilpacks, from their website $350 for all 6, a pretty nice price, whilst Splitfire were after $700.

Ended up talking to Decs at Garage 7 on Monday night about the problem im having, so he's going to whip up an "AU Folcon Coilpack Conversion' setup, so basically the 'hub' for my coilpack leads will instead of being on the Valley Cover, will be on the firewall.

He's done it for a few of his customers, and all have reported no problems.

Plus, even though i don't want to cheapen out on stuff with this car..i can get it cheaper then $350, plus i like supporting small business.

Thanks for your offers guys, hopefully i get it running properly by mid next week, then on to the tune, hoping like crazy for at least 180kw. Cmon redtop!

To me that's over-complicating a simple solution to a simple problem. I know others will disagree but if it were me I'd just get the Yellow Jackets, straight bolt in, no fuss, no extra looms going anywhere and doesn't look sus. Neat and simple

I know what you are saying there Heslo and Jenkies, why complicate one small thing.

Kinda having that debate with myself at the moment.

Still undecided, and i havn't actually said "yep, lets do it". So im just mulling it over.

Car won't make any power levels needed to max out the coilpacks from Yellow Jacket anyway... hmm.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
