Floyd is spot-on. Worked for me.
Graham.

 

If your interested I have my ic water spray bottle sitting in the garage. I could also give you spray jets which are currently on my car at another garage.

 

Chris, i'm not too bothered about the water spray bottle for now as it's more convienient for me to use the washer bottle minus screenwash. When you say spray jets are you referring to normal windscreen washer jets or the genuine STi TMIC spray jets? PM coming up.

Thanks Floyd/Graham, that'll be the plan i stick to unless i can find the STi jets.

 

my car is on the rollers today! been reading all these posts (really good stuff!, well done carl) now im knackered n have to drive to scoobyclinic @7am... i will post how it does when i get it back!
hopin for 270+
now for some sleep...

 

Carl, you can buy the STI/P1 i/c jets from your local Subaru dealer for about Ł16 (2).

I chose to use the misters as the P1 jets are a little heavy on the spray for me.

hozelock specials here,
however.......

what do a fire extinguisher, a dodgy homemader solenoid, 4m of pirtek hosing and a toggle switch have in common?



answer: scooby shoot out!

 

Mark96UKTurbo - look out for mine when you get there - its a red 98 - I'm not there - its been there since Thursday having a service and a gearbox replaced, but I won't have time to pick it up till Saturday - I've asked Adam to stick it on the rollers this week too - be interesting to see what it makes....

Cheers,

Mark

 

Nice one Floyd, i'll mention it to the dealer today and see if he has any in stock - doubt it though. Final treat should be arriving today, question is, can i get it to fit the car in time?

 

we'll have no cheating mr. nuts

 

He will be the one with the BIG ice cube around his TMIC....
Graham.

Seems strange actually doing nothing on the car.
911 is to be wheeled-in from the cold soon to try and find some brakes and soften it all off for 10% road, not hill climbing, unless the Sti breaks it's trans then I'll race the 911

 

Carl: sounds like its going well.

What did you use to secure the heat wrap in place when wrapping the turbo? Fencing wire from B&Q do the job?

Bob

 

Had a bad day for collecting parts so far. Got gaskets ok from Subaru but not surprisingly no spray jets, i should hopefully have a pair of STi ones by the end of the evening though. As far as a reducer piece for the headlight washer pipework goes it looks as though i'm making one!

On a positive note, the final piece of Phase II arrived today... STi V6 on left, modified MY00 centre and MY98 on right.





STi core.



Custom core.



Will have to modify the D/V port the same way as the previous one.

Going to be a busy day tomorrow with the head-manifold gaskets, AVC-R and TMIC water spray to do. I'm just praying the rain stays off!

 

Hi Bob, you could've fooled me. I used proper locking wire. If it's good enough for one of these....



It's good enough for my bucket.

 

where did you get the locking wire from mate?

Bob

 

Ahhh, AS.332L Super Puma

 

Yip and they cost nowt.

 

just got my car back! mark i diddnt see your car, there were shed loads there!!!! ok. the car is MY96 97k miles
mods:
H&S mid + down pipes (no cats)
TSL firestorm rear box
FSE reg.
K&N induction kit
1 bar boost

the car pulled 279.2 bhp and the difference is excellent!!
thanks Pat good stuff

 

The gf should be here to run me over your way in five mins Chris.

Iain, Dad's the one for the helicopters. L, L2 and S61 is about as far as my knowledge goes. I'm going to check that you're correct though.

 

Mark96 - No probs - Sounds like you had a good day !

Probably should've pointed out before that mine doesn't look entirely like a UK - its running on 18" RSTs, Lowered Eibachs, has a P1 front splitter, STiV6 rear spoiler, N/S 22b bonnet scoop and a mini-air scoop on the O/S - Plus its fitted with 00 headlamps (with HIDs), PIAA spots, FMIC, clear indicators and sidelights - oh, and lexus rear lights....

Mark

 

Carl, to make a reducer pipe from headlamp washer to screen washer pipe size I used the end from a tube of sealant mastic type stuff. You can cut it to the right dia easily and hold with normal hose clips.

Bob, I should imagine any metal wire would do.

F

 

Mark! the car you describe popped its engine on the rollers!!! lol

 

F: yeah I think so. Will pick some up from B&Q 2morrow.

Bob

 

As its a 98 UK, I'll post the figure on here when I get it - Assuming it doesn't pop its clogs / conrods...

 

Top man Chris.

Mark (both of you), can you post full engine specs along with power/torque figures (i know you don't have yours yet Mark W). i.e. right down to fuel, brand/quantity of OB (if any), what's heat wrapped, where the filter is, ECU, mapper, mileage etc. If we can compare notes directly hopefully we get an idea of what works and what doesn't.

Hey Floyd, thanks for the tip. I've knocked up a drawing in CAD so hopefully i'll be able to turn a basic adaptor on the lathe tomorrow. Can see it being a late finish!

 

were both mark Ws...
old spec engine, turbo
blitz irridium plugs
98ron optimax (fual mapped for now) ignition timing etc...
no OB (have got some though)
K&N 57i as instructions
H&S mid + down
TSL firestorm
FSE reg.with guage + Greyham Goode Boost guage

Power figures to follow - hopefully tomorrow....

Mark

PS _ In between the above spec and standard were a load of other mods (PE phase 2, etc) on the TD04 - I made 281hp/267lbft on PE rollers then.....

 

Mark (PJ), tomorrow.

Mark Wild, i'll absorb your spec when i get in tonight - just popped on to answer a PM. Seriously considering insulating the heater matrix hoses under the TMIC at the moment, although i'm unsure if the stuff i bought would be safe to apply to those pipes - thinking they may get rather warm.

Can feel a proper Harvey-style heat management project coming on.

 

Forgot to mention mileage... It had 41000 on the clock when I bought it -

70000 odd, when I PE'd it

currently 135000 miles...
