Deltaking

Boot position mount added to 3D models

The irony of it all is that the car runs GREAT! Take of from Gear1 great, acceleration is GREAT turbo starts to spool at 2500rpm and you can here her coming on and feel her right through to 5000rpm (Usually don't drive the car above 5500rpm)

Just tried it now, does the same thing. Then when I switch the car off and back on again it immediately starts up. Its not that the car doesn't start on first try its just that it takes twice as long.

I will try this and see, will need to check later or tomorrow and see what happens

So now I have this strange issue... not so much an issue but its strange. If the car stands overnight and I try to start it for the first time it takes a while before it starts. Noted I replaced the injectors and the fuel pump. I suspect that on first start it might be flooding the motor (Or delay with the pump maybe) but not sure as it only happens after the car stands for a good few hours. Happened yesterday and this morning. If it does it and I immediately switch the car off and back on again it doesn't happen again???

Wasn't me! So replaced the fuel pump this morning car seems to have come back to life again... saw the C clip was not on the section where the springs were attached.

I just checked a guy selling a secondhand VVT it was for a forester but the part number was on the VVT so I don't know anymore... lol

That would be perfect, I can either 3D print those again or just get them from the store down the road depending on the ID and OD. I think in this case its going to be cheaper to buy (Locally) then to design and 3D print. I was thinking that I may as well just replace the fuel pump tomorrow since I have it, seems to be a fairly easy/quick job (Or am I fooling myself???). My tank is just above 1/4 from empty so thinking its the optimum time to just get it done.

I like I like, turbo blanket added to list. I run 90 deg Celsius everyday all day no matter how I drive. My pure and main issue is the fact that a got the car secondhand and I know it wasn't taken care of as it should have been, the car was definitely in a good condition but its the small things like the VVTs which cost a bit which were not attended to. I was told by the owner that the intercooler was replaced (a year ago) but it looked like it was 10 years old with corrosion so I suspect it was secondhand hence I just replaced it again and have that one as a spare. I removed one of the VVTs a few moments ago and saw that it had some gasket sealant on it so I suspect they did something there as the sealant is over the entire surface which meets the block (Should have taken a photo).

Ah ok let me see what I can do, thanks a lot all for the assist on this one. I will add it to my list of replacement parts in the mean time, I need to first recover from the knocks I took over the last 2 months. Luckily I don't have an error just an irritation with the random jerk. So what I have left on my list is: VVT Solenoids x2 (May just clean out the originals and see if it helps in the meantime) IC Hose to Throttle body Optional thoughts of replacing: Radiator to All metal Radiator hose replacement General hose replacements

Strange this is the pricing I find on that site that's way cheaper? https://www.rockauto.com/en/partsearch/?partnum=10921AA080

Multiply that by 14 and thats what I pay ea

VVT on the 07 isn't the same as the 05 as far as I'm aware

No those were the stock ones I got pulled out of the car, I just replaced them with Denso again. I haven't upgraded the injectors yet. One was pushing 32ml while the others were pushing 30ml so just replaced them all because of age. This is the Subi part number 16611AA72A just looks like a Denso to me

Ok thank you for that info, I have top feed injectors but they are definitely Denso

My understanding is OEM includes the Brand "Subaru" the OE is just the part without the brand. What I have found on most of the vehicle are parts with no branding or part numbers. Only thing thus far were the injectors which were Denso. I got bought it secondhand so I have no clue what should have a brand/part number on it if any of the parts at all...

Due to the IC pipe purchase failure I just gave up, I will officially just 3D print it like I did with IC O-Ring and DP O-Ring.

OEM parts in most cases take a minimum of 3 weeks to arrive, If I take the vehicle in then its 4 - 5 weeks not sure why there's an extra delay but suspect they purchase from a National head office which then distributes the parts.

Geez that's hectic lol, worst for me was living by the ocean which killed 2 of my vehicles due to rust... Everything was rusted...

What about aftermarket with OE certification?

Oh yes and I'm replacing my VVT solenoids they advised me that one is sticking so I get a random jerk in traffic and that my be the cause of it. Tried cleaning it which made zero difference.

Yup, its either a mountain fire or some of the roads being flooded by the sea... But either way you can drive 365 days a year. Just love the mountain drives with this car, its really something else.

This part bending is what they were talking about say that when the car goes into boost its going to bulge/collapse... Otherwise a nice looking pipe to me

The thing is that a lot of the stuff isn't available on Amazon, I find it easier buying through them because I don't sit with a courier holding the parcel and on some random day sending me a import duty charge. Then when I pay I need to wait 2 days for release, then another 2-3 days for it to get to the region... Then another 1 - 3 days for it to be delivered... I know its rambling but I'm that kind of guy that when I order stuff I want it on a specific day because I would have already planned a day to work on the car to have specific things done... When there are delays you may have to do a specific job twice because the same things need to be removed... Or when they mess with your schedule you need to find another gap to sit with everything.

Thank goodness, I nearly got a heart attack. I ordered 2x Turbo inlet hose (Mishimoto and JMT brand) - They refused to install the JMT due to it being to soft on the MAF pipe joining side (Could probably prevent it by inserting a 70mm 45 deg aluminum pipe into the hose) but now I'm stuck with that pipe and will try to sell. I ordered the IC to throttle body hose also Mishimoto and it was 8mm too short... Just too many fails.
