Donīt forget to mention that you are able to change the proportional and integral values of the control! Furthermore the correction for intake temperature is a VERY good feature.

Itīs realy is a dream to setup (after you know how it works......), rock solid boost control under most circumstances.

In the MY03/04 WRX you can even add or subtract dutycycle depending on what gear itīs using! Very nice. (too bad itīs only for the "normal" WRX, not the STi.......)

Mark,

I adjust duty cycle per gear (as a percentage) on the STi8's I do.....but only where the customer confirms he's prepared to ruin his clutch in short order Boost control with adjusted duty cycles to hit (or even exceed) target boost in lower gears makes for very nice t-junction exists and vastly improved driveability. The Denso's granularity does indeed make it better than the AVC-R.

Richard,

The clutch in an STi isn't that bad! (I hope.....)

I didn't find a possibility to change duty cycle per gear in an STi! Boost yes, but no duty cycle.

Mark.

 

i just replied here to say good look and so that i can say that i was part of this threadregards theminidaddy

oversteer@hotmail.com

 

Is anybody else?

 

I think he was saying he was posting to subscribe to the thread.. rather than just clicking on thread tools --> subscribe to thread which I find much easier... but I think he also said Good luck.. or he had a good look I am not certain

Simon

 

Exactly, you now sound as confised as me ???? LOL

 

no not confused just uncertain..

 

Oversteer without spinning is welcome

SX reg to go on tonight. Getting the right fittings to go from -6AN to 8mm hose barbs was fun

 

Sorry John.. steering lock engaged..

 

SX is on, much much consistent than FSE, holds pressure astonishing well too.

Maybe still a bit of sweating of oil at the turbo oil inlet, might need to get the pipe redone.

Other than that car is "finished"... for now

 

John

Want to see a picture of the other type of piston ?

Mark

 

Yes.

 

YHM, pretty big file sorry

i hope its alright to put this post in here. as quite a few of you have done the ej25 conversion and i'm just about to do it, can any of you tell me will an sti red manifold go straight on to my 96 wrx heads. i have the 4 coil pack set-up. if there is no prob in doing this ,does anyone have one that they'd sell.??
Thanks.

 

it wont...

92 - 96 heads are different..

manifolds were different between...

92 -96
97 - 98
99 +

if its a 97 - 98 it may bolt on with alterations.. a 99+ needs surgery..

David

 

Thanks David,
i should have remembered that from my first engine swap. i went from a 93 to a 98 and had to swap over the bits.
so next question; whats the paint code for the manifold....heh heh (I'mserious)

 

Red hammerite may be ?

 

powder coating is your best bet.

 

thanks guys

 

David at API posted the supplier for the Red Crinkle paint once before.

PM him, as it was only about Ģ8.00 a can.

They supply red crinkle paint, very good.

 

Is this the same colour as STI use (cherry red Ithink)

 

here in NZ i could only get wrinkle paint in three coloyrs, red, black or gray.
this is my ver3 sti manifold repainted with red wrinkle paint. all 1.5 cans of it. its hard to know how much to put on when your've never used it. i hindsight i would of only used 1 can so it wasn't so wrinkly but i'm happy with the way it came out.

 

thanks megrac. looks alright doesn't it.

Hi John

What are we looking for ?

Mark

 

That's one of Johns 2.5 cracked pistons?
Why is there so much carbon build-up? When the heads came off my Stiv3 the pistons were a light biscuit colour with very light deposit.

Crack at 4 o'clock. It is oil that has come through the rings/crack. The others were as you had.

 

Are those the original (cast?) pistons that came in the short block from the USA or one of the forged ones?
Lost track of what you put in there in the end John...
Presumably the crack was there for some time.
