Well this is a bit older thread but ill update you guys later next week.

 

I have a misfire on my built motor and Cobb plano is doing a leak down/Compression test this week.

 

The motor has 95K on 2816 Forged JE Pistons, Cobb/Crower rods, STI crank, STI Crank and Rod bearings, ARP head studs, Killer B p/u tube.

 

If the motor comes out Ill report back with pictures hopefully on what a piston slap happy motor looks like with almost a 100K and 4 years on it.

 

I am thinking its an exhaust valve issue but it will be interesting to see what the SB looks like

Any updates?

I hate to change the subject! I just installed a VF52 and now I have a few problems! Car is sputtering BIG TIME! Won't go into bosst, not even minimal. At non-boost driving it drives well with no CEL, as a matter of fact I,m not getting any CEL codes. Before install VF40 was working well. I did recommended start up and 1st start procedures. I am not sure if it is a vacuum issue, turbo issue or tune issue. I'm getting desperate to reinstall VF40. I noticed when I had the turbo out of the box, it had a piece of tape over oil feed line, i was hoping it didn't have one over the return since the out-put port already had the tubing hardware installed over it. Any feedback will be appreciated!

Catless down pipe

Custom stainless cat-back

650CC inject.

Cobb stage 2 tune

Perrin turbo inlet hose

A vf52 is not even close to the same turbo as a vf40/46 It requires a custom tune! You cant just use an off the shelf cobb stage 2 tune! Also the vf52 uses a different restrictor pill size if it didnt come with one.

If what I am reading is correct you should have done more research before installing that turbo. Dont go into boost at all, get the proper size pill if you dont have it, and get it pro-tuned ASAP!!!

Just re-read it and you did injectors too, those also need a custom tune.....no wonder your car doesnt run right....I'm surprised you can even drive it...get it pro-tuned by a local reputable tuner ASAP!!

You mean Legacy S402, and NO, don't do it!

... S402

That spoiler IS a s203 from an impreza, that is not the s402 spoiler. I find it funny you felt the need to correct him twice and you're wrong.

the s402 doesnt have that spoiler i believe.

Correct!

Anyways, I hate to go with the flock, but the stock and lip spoilers look best in my opinion. The others i have seen so far are just a little too much for the smooth lines of the legacy. The STi wing is too boxy and aggressive for the car.

I wonder how much the JDM cat is?
