Is the Turbo / wrx firing sequence different than normal? Is that what helps produce that lovely uneven burble (engine burble) ?

I ask because I have a standard 2.0l GL (Dont shoot me- I needed an automatic) It's a MY97 car.

I was wondering if I could have my cars firing sequence altered so I can get a bit of growl? I guess if it's even possible it would be to do with re-mapping the ECU?

Also Haynes don't seem to cover the impreza, are there any workshop manuals of the equiv detail that they would go into for the classic Impreza??

Cheers in advance

the burble's caused by unequal length headers, the ones on n/a Imprezas are virtually equal length, hence no turbo style burble. This could be changed but you would need someone to custom fabricate some headers for you and it would rob power from your car in the process.

There are workshop manuals available on line, the Impreza is not popular enough for Haynes to make a manual for it.

Let me know if you need links to the manuals, and come and join us on www.imprezasport.net , loads of info on n/a impreza's on there

I think you will find that some JDM Scoob Turbos can be automatics too!!

is this true ?

it seems every second car is a scooby !

gljam

nope, I made it up, haven't you seen the big pile of Haynes manuals for scoobs outside every Halfords

gljam

Oh and that "You and your Subaru Impreza Turbo" doesn't count before any of you smart ***** pipe up

What about a bulk emailing of Haynes saying why don't they do one? They can't turn round and say not enough demand to bother making one if they've just had 1000 emails.

I notice they're advertising a new Mini manual, must be more Impreza's around than new Mini's, they've only been made for a couple of years. And anyway who's ever heard of any BMW owner even opening the bonnet let alone working on the car?

I guess what would kill it would be the sheer number of different models, would a classic model Haynes manual be any use to a bug-eye owner for example?

Did similar 20 years ago when I was in the RS Owners Club (when it was a real performance car club before the FWD wannabees came along) and we got an RS2000 Haynes manual made. So it can be done.

I did actually establish that fact too before buying mine mate but insurance companies caine wallet for non UK cars...

Plus didn't want a wagon and had to be blue, so to get a saloon in blue that was jap grey import would not have been do-able easily - cos they're:-

A: as rare as rocking horse droppings and
B: several thousand pounds more

Yeah come to think of it, all the autos I've seen have been Wagons, shame!!

Like the idea - perhaps the SCOOBYNET team can broadcast an appeal or help with organising the enthusiasm??

funny comment about bmw owners (hehe)
