  1. left side oil control solenoid replaced - cleaned this right up Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. so just had this p0024 code fire as well, and i'm just off 2 variables... 1. had the car sitting for a decent amount of time as i'm working from home 2. just completed the turbo back exhaust, it had previously only been downpipe to stock catback code fired on the way home from that install. The car has not yet been retuned after the exhaust added. Car idles fine, car was running/driving fine, though it did just cut out on me as i was pulling into have the oil changed. I went through the screenshot someone attached, step 1 had me move onto step 2, being that @ idle the AVCS Exh L and R both stayed @ 0. when i did step 2, it seemed as though the AVCS Exh L was inconsistent with the others, appearing to spike higher by roughly 150% throughout the cycles, what's this mean? the below #s are just via cobb's peak reporting. AVCS Exh L = 45 AVCS Exh R = 30 AVCS In L = 30 AVCS In R = 30 So oils been changed, codes reset and car has driven fine since, no codes, but only toiled around town for an hour or so. I did however notice a lot of inconsistency from the AVCS Exh L at this point, at times high like it was before, but then at one point it was settling @ 0 while the others all stayed more or less in sync with each other during driving - what if anything does this mean? i'm lost on this level of data and it's paralyzing me cause i don't know what's bad, real bad, or meaningless/standard so I can have the shop check o2 sensors? or should i just order and replace that AVCS solenoid assuming that left side one is fubar'ed. Wanting to understand what i can lock in on based on those #s. Or is this something else i can data mine for? I was supposed to take the car to VT tomorrow, not gonna have time to settle this all out i don't think - at this point hard recommendation to resolve before any significant mileage, right?

  4. Yeah I had already shot them a note to go ahead with the upgrade - it’s like I felt the enabling before I even hit submit on this message Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. Shortblock package wise - I’m deciding between the light and standard package here - about a $500 gap - main difference being the pistons used - between Manley and omega-X, (they stopped offering the cosworth and just replaced the standard package with omega x pistons) as well as then the documentation (blueprints) which id love to hear the forum’s take on - from what they said - the “light” package was offered as a budget friendlier block while still maintaining the shop’s build standards and quality components - just not every measurement was documented and provided to client So for the extra $500 I get the omega pistons and the full documentation - thoughts? I’m leaning yes, but could be convinced to save the money too - the documentation just feels like it forces the work, even though I trust the work would be done either way - and not sure the piston upgrade is worth it

  7. I’ve been to fast of west Chester and enjoyed that experience, they did my suspension work, I know IAG is great but it’s 3hours away Rallispec has a good reputation and it’s almost walking distance from me - I got to spend about 2 hours over there today digging through my torn apart engine, looking at the damage, talking with Vince on plans for rebuild and options, and ultimately I’m pretty happy to move forward here - particularly as it relates to future work and maintenance - Cleo will tune the car when it’s done working with this shop - and he’s also also local to me here in next town over Adding TGV deletes and a Cobb SF intake Embarrassingly enough I did end up having the nameless BPV installed already which explains why I couldn’t find the part in my garage At the moment looking like I’ll move forward with the tomioka hybrid 20g https://www.tomiokaracing.com/products/hybrid-vf54-turbo-for-2010-subaru-legacy-gt Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. So...i've been lurking around here for a few years since purchasing my 2010 Steel Silver GT. The car is a daily driver for me - tooling up and down 295 in south jersey back and forth to DE everyday, i drive maybe 80+ miles daily, no racing, no launching, just some fun on the onramps and some high pulls here and there Have gotten a ton of great info and research thats gotten me to where I am today, or at least, to where i was a week ago 2/13/19 - to rewind, to date through 2/13/19 I've added the following nameless downpipe Injector Dynamics 1050x injectors AEM Fuel Pump 320lph 65mm Crawford AOS grimspeed EBCS Southbound Stage 2 clutch clutch damper valve delete AVO chargepipe AVO TMIC AVO coupler protune via Cobb V3 back in Jan 17' @ 95k miles (2+ years ran well) STI STS and a few perrin shifter pieces KW V3 coil overs Brembo Blacks Hawk HPS 5.0 pads DBA T2 slotted rotors Good ridge SS brake lines Work Emotion 18x9.5 with BFGoodrich Sport Comp 2 55/40 HID custom headlights from LightWerkz in NJ (high recommend these have been great 3 years running no issues) Car was great for couple years there - drove really well And then....thursday 2/13/19...noticed some noise coming from engine bay, at first just kinda sounded like the turbo heat shield rattle that I had had previously, kept driving a bit (first problem - should've stopped right away - its hard to make the decision sometimes to stop what your doing and perform some sort of roadside assessment - but that may have saved me here - as i continued i saw the DAM drop on my V3 to .325 something, and then ultimately she seized up on me - i was attempting to just make it to the next exit P0011 P0014 P0021 P0024 Initial assessment is a severe crankshaft bearing failure - ultimately there was an oil problem somewhere, and was all downhill from there, a few more issues in the rest of the internals, end of day new short block is needed - what I'm confused about is the speed with which it appeared to deteriorate. I was only less than a 1k miles off my last oil change - and no signs of problems before that. So hoping to maybe hear more on a specific root cause - ultimately another lesson learned is grow up and be checking the dipstick yourself more often - Either way here i am in need of a new short block after 130k miles - and so with that comes the may as well upgrade if I'm here conversation - which is why I'm posting a build a thread and ultimately hoping to call on the many many prior experiences this forum offers. Here's what I think I've learned. in terms of the short block - i'd be looking at a relatively canned offering of an upgrade block along these lines - http://rallispec.com/eng_sbl_rssb25.html i'd be looking to upgrade to the STI exhaust cams i'm not looking to go external waste gate, but i should pursue porting the internal wastegate? I'm not looking at the moment to go FMIC - though I understand this would be ideal for larger gains, from a budget and power goals perspective, just not right now i'd be sticking to pump gas (no E85 is convenient for me) and then so the real question becomes turbo upgrade - 18 vs 20g, with the built internals, does 20g give me more top end power potential, or is 18 really still the sweet spot? I don't think i'd be looking to push this car more than 350whp, in my mind this would be an overbuilt (hopefully reliable) moderately powerful car. I'd look to add the BPV to hold the boost to keep the turbo efficient Would i likely be dealing with boost creep issues? I am still stock exhaust past the downpipe
  9. anyone in here ever used this? I think I saw somezero run it with nothing negative to say https://www.tomiokaracing.com/collections/turbos/products/hybrid-vf54-turbo-for-2010-subaru-legacy-gt
  10. I have this issue all the time in my 2010 - it’s somewhat sporadic though -does it make sense that it would come and go? Or once it fails it’s toast for good? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  12. So the value in the 5 - 6 range doesn’t bother as much as just not being exactly equal L vs R, right? I can inquire when I go - reschedule to Wednesday Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. Short of correcting that the rears drop down to .5 less than the fronts (not more - the tech wrote it down wrong) Anything else anyone sees on here to question - heading back in Monday This is on coil overs, with rear adj LCAs, 255/40 on 9.5x18 wheels Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. Yeah they said happy to replace or $15 discount - I guess I'll ship back - Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. yeah there's chunks of the top layer of finish off of it -
