Great Job Ian,one thing though,your lambda looks a little hard to get at the base hex part for removal and will be a bit awkward for when it's mapped and the mapper needs to insert his wideband one?

 

not to bad for a first go :-)

 

it be ok, I put a hold in the tan mat first, and after it was all together, made a hold in the silver mat, and screwed it in, and nipped up, so it should be easy enough to change.

my mapper uses a up the pipe sensor ;-)

 

Cool just wanted to give a heads up incase,once again though great job mate

 

this is what i think caused my standard s206 to die of oil starvation. it is the banjo bolt from the engine to turbo oil line.

anyone see what the problem could of been?



this is the banjo bolt from oil line and turbo

 

Yep, you should have been running larger type Ian, the small one is for roller bearing turbos.

 

indeed, the funny thing is that i havent had a roller bearing turbo as far as i know (standard turbo, af 20g, s206)

edited to say, im wrong the standard turbo (vf28) is a ball bearing)

 

the bolt i have in there now has 2 x 3mm holes in it and no filter on the inside.

 

billet s206 is all mapped up now. the turbo whistle is a higher pitch compaired to the non billet and it spools abit quicker to. ill get a vid up soon

 

Any more power made Ian or around the same with better spool

 

it hasnt been on the rollers yet, but it does go through the 6 speed rather fast ;-)

it would be nice to see what it would make on the RR

 

Flame suit on.......

sometime you enjoy the low boost setting more, as you can get more out of the car pulling hard. but when its in high boost, it is all over toooo quick ;-)

 

Sounds good. Did you get the gearbox/clutch issue sorted?

 

yup box was fixed, but am still looking for a 6 speed end casing to replace the one im borrowing (was scammed on the forum)

 

Glad you got it sorted, shame you got scammed.

 

here is a quick vid of 2nd and 3rd gear.

one think i have noticed, is the gearing from the 5 speed to the 6 speed. in the 5 speed 3rd gear was good up to 100mph, where 3rd on the 6 speed is good for about 80 mph, and 4th is needed for the ton (all on a non public place)

 

I miss this car

 

Did you end up selling it? If so when?

 

I did, I thing around 11 years ago, im sure it was then broken for parts

 

oh no...😓😓

come back to Subaru ownership Ian, you know it makes sense 👌

 

Nice to read an old thread.

 

I would but I like the m140i to much, and compared to the days from when I has this classic impreza, the bm is so easy to get power from
