Hello,
Got my first Impreza! Its wicked! It has already been de-catted(magnatec), induction kit(pipercross), and a dump valve when i got it. What else do you think Would be good for it?

Also i have had it about a week and a bit, im gonna service it asap, but what else do you recomend to do?
Sorry for all the questions, but i really dont wanna blow it up, not just yet anyway!!!
Cheers!
Dave

 

which 1 have u got??

 

I got a Red WRX, M reg '94', It seems really nice and good condition, well so far, i got a bloody car park dent yesterday!!!

 

Scoobs shouldn't blow up unless they knock....

So, make sure you use Optimax (plus octane booster if it's an import) and get a knocklink so you'll know if it's knocking.

By the way, don't service it yourself unless you know what you are doing, for instance you can knacker the engine if you don't fill the oil filter correctly.....

Enjoy!

 

Hello to you

 

Cheers for your advice mate,
When they start knocking, can you blatently hear it, and also where can i get the knocklink from?

I use Optimax anyway, but how come you have to use octane booster aswel? And sorry, where can i get some of that?
Sorry for all the questions!

What scooby do you have?

 

You can get a knocklink and sensor from jap innovations (i think its www.jap-innovations.co.uk).
The WRX is designed and mapped to run japanese fuel (which is 100-102 ron) our fuel is 95-98 ron, if you want to keep your engine safe then running optimax with octane booster is the best way

Cheers for the advice!
Where can you get the octane boost from? I have never seen it.

 

Quite a few places do octane booster, here are a few that should have some

www.scoobymania.co.uk
www.jap-innovations.co.uk
www.scoobyscene.co.uk
www.scoobysport.co.uk
www.tsl.co.uk
www.scoobyworld.co.uk

If you check these out, atleast half of them do some form of octane booster

Cool, Thanks for all your help!
You definately know your stuff on Jap cars!
What do you have?

 

Do a search on ScoobyECU.

The ScoobyECU is an add on for you original ECU that will remap the car to run on Optimax, plus it will increase performance too

Is only about £100, best money you will ever spend!

 

Well if there is the option of the scoobyecu then id also consider picking up an MY95/96 ecu from another WRX (grade a subaru, you may have to do a search as i dont know their site address ) but it cures the bugs that were in the 92/93/94 ecu's and gives you 20ps more to boot
