Hello all. I need a little help, im off to look at a 54 jdm sti today & wonder what ways there are of making sure the car has the jdm engine & turbo in it?

The main one is the burble will be missing as it should be twin scroll.

Just make sure when you give it some beans it goes into all the gears without crunching and has been mapped for uk fuel with proof along with all the usual checks for knocking suspension, subframe rust, no funny engine sounds or smoke and make sure you hear it from cold.

 

top man ditch!! how do you mean the burble has gone? ya cant have a Subaru without the burble can ya? isn't that against the law

 

You do get a very slight burble but not like you do with un-equal headers (twin scroll are equal length) do sound nice on full chat though, akin to a super bike.

You tube / google is your friend.

 

Cheers pal. Is there any othee ways of telling by looking at the engine and turbo?
