Hey Birds,

Reckon the elec scooter will cope 90kg (haven’t weighed myself after epic sick I had few months ago) while going uphill aka Wellington Rd or FTG Rd?

Yeah apparently the STI engine refresh isn't due till 2020 to go the FA platform. 
The problem with the normal WRX was the sound of the FA engine [emoji14] 
The STI ol' EJ sounds beast still for a 4 banger, my first 4 banger :O 


Unequal length headers will do that.

Pretty much yeah, I'll be doing the usual intake/exhaust/tune eventually but that'll be it for me. I think 200awkw-ish?

Aka I better not come up against a silver R33 skyline at the lights, I'll be farked!! :P

Bolt ons are great for a daily. Wish I could bolt-on the hilux. Get some 6 stud rays wheels.

 

So new WRX and STI are different things? I'm pretty out of touch with new cars...

 

In other news, mate of mine at Tokyo Auto Salon... Some cool stuff there.

Yeah so WRX has the new FA20 (GT86) engine with a turbo on it (sounds like crap, but good econemy)

WRX STI still has EJ257 2.5l boxer same as the last few years (sounds good, proven, heaps of parts)

Then you got all the other usual stuff that makes the STI cooler and 10k more I guess too.

Bigger wheels and tyres, and yeah 6 pot front brembos 2 pot rear brembos bigger rotors too even from last years STI.

And yeah the whole driver controlled center diff stuff will be fun to play with 

Do you guys suggest doing any new car paint protection stuff? inb4 final inspection 
ceramic coat? subaru quoted 1500 for this.. 

Dezz you do anything special paint protection wise to your ute when you got it?

Dunno

It'll manage fine on flat ground with 100kg, as our overweight sales reps can attest to

One way to find out I guess.

Cos I’m being transferred to another store with trains in front of the store, and I’m not keen on driving to nearest train station and park it.

And I’ve got 4 weeks to decide.

What colour STI you going Leigh?

 

Keeping a stock look doing rims too?

blue, it's my first actual coloured car. no plans for any cosmetics or suspension, after 6-12 months will do intake/exhaust/tune to wake it up a bit and for some sound that'll be it :)

    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
