  1. Thanks for the advice... here is kinda my issue/complaint/armchair diagnoses... so as far as A/F learning,correction, FBK FLKC etc.. I have watched these , however I wish there was some sort of programming to put into a map etc to warn of this stuff.. realistically its a bit of a PITA to always have the accessport out (then put it away as not to tempt thieves) and also be watching that all the time.. I just want to get in my car and drive (insert you should have bought a higher HP stock sports car(insert car of the month) here), I think I saw a thread on NASIOC a while ago about people complaining about the cars knock sensors/system etc and how it doesn't lend it self to high performance cars..?? I don't really remember. I have been in a subaru that had knock before and really bad knock is pretty hard to not notice... Since I am the only one who drives this car I can't say that I have ever had a moment where I noticed something not right w the motor prior to this... Here's my armchair diagnoses.. maybe .. I recently read on the injector dynamics website ( I think) an article about filtering fuel (especially e-85) and how the oem system may not do an adequate job of filtering (I have seen lots of guys put an inline fuel filter in the engine bar w a servicable element/filter) and since cyl4 is so close to the turbo/up pipe etc the heat/heat cycling might shorten the service interval of that injector , especially if the fuel is not filtered adequately. I imagine a 1000cc injector running a few % points off of the others at WOT might just cascade into kablooey... totally guessing.. /frustrated.. but on a + the car still runs well at anything other than idle....? maybe the cure for ringland failure is all boost all the time.. kidding..
  2. cyl 4.. 65psi...ringland failure on a built motor w cosworth pistons....:( .. pro tune, crawford AOS, brad penn oil every 3k, lower rev limit, WTF????... I might be done... pouring $ into a depreciation asset is never smart but I just put in a new clutch/flywheel ,new TMIC, new turbo, had the ECU replaced (actually thanks subaru, they paid for 1/2 of that) .... I should just buy a merc 4wd sprinter van and put a shifter kart in the back to get my jollies off... MOTHER PUCKER!.... so put in a new motor ($6k) drive it for a year or two until the RS comes out or part this sucker out and never look back..? I know you gotta pay to play but...man..this hurts.
  3. yes I have a V3 accessport.. are there certain parameters that I should look at to help narrow it down? newb in the datalog world.. I usually like just wrenching on things;)
  4. uh oh... cyl4 misfire and Pfffe code...hoping it is just an injector..I haven't done anything yet.. (swap injectors, coil packs etc) but I am worried of the cascade of events even if it is "just" an injector.
  5. I'm no expert but uh why wouldn't they be for daily use ? I had mine in for 3 yrs....daily..and not more expensive either.. I'm neutral on either rack or quickener.. The rack will feel oem, where as the quickener ( at least mine was) made the steering heavier ( which I liked) also the quickener had about 3mm of play when the wheel was straight. Annoying for the first 5 min then u forgot it was there.
  6. Quickener changes ratio before it inputs into rack. IMO doing a quicker rack or a steering quickener is one of the funnest mods ever.

  8. now just add one of these and you can be 1 turn lock to lock:) http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/most-enjoyable-mod-so-far-l-e-steering-quickener-126316.html?t=126316
  9. Just realized that w the new grimmspeed (or process west I think) TMIC plus their (sti fitment silocone hose) we can now have any sti type turbo we want.. I ordered a gtx3071r but this EFR looks like the one w the latest tech for sure..
  10. Looks like my bnr20g is sick... New turbo is on the way . I'll let you all know what the cause was. On the bright side I got a grimmspeed tmic that with the addition of a different hose from GS I can run sti type turbos ( I think you can do the same thing w process west' new tmic too) so a Garrett gtx is in my future.
  11. Oh geez... I want a ride .. I'm an idiot I got all excited about this thread and realized that I was just looking at the "regular" gt30r not the new EFR turbo.. So is there such a thing as a EFR turbo for stock location legacygt? Or does one need to buy full race up/down pipe or go rotated? Not sure where I got confused on this one...
  12. So uh did anyone actually get one of these? http://www.full-race.com/store/turbos/stock-location-turbos/subaru-legacy-gt-stock-location-garrett-gt30r-turbo-kit.html
  13. yeah....I go a year or so doing nothing but maintenance on my car then I get in a frenzy... this news is not good for my wallet..
