ohno06gt Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Where in CT are you? I may have a driver's seat as I can give you once I get my aftermarket one back from the shop. You will just have to switch your seat position sensor over. Or you can probably find a cheap one from a junkyard. Located in the Northwest corner but frequently travel down to the Danbury area for work. I have black leather front seats that I can send you the covers if you are interested, they are in pretty good shape; I just replaced them with 2011 STi seats. How much would they go for shipped?

evil03mustang Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 I need a knock sensor… Is the $160 one a requirement, or can somebody recommend one that is known to work? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvick08GT Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Use the Subaru Knock sensor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m thinking that’s the best bang for my buck. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitexc Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 (edited) Long time no chat all. Life finally spared a few minutes to check out the LGT. To refresh the story it goes like this. 2009 LGT with 71k on the clock. Bone stock save for a TurboXS axle back and running AP3 stage 1 93 octane tune. Banjo filters, fluids all done.....rarara. Order my truck back in January and am scheduled to pick it up one Saturday in April. Supposed to be a good day ...first new vehicle for myself ever. The car, that morning decided it was going to make a noise. Well....I need a shortblock. Not beating it, oil full. No inclination whatsoever. Just came around a corner to hear a tick and here we are. Car has been sitting since, with hopes the timing belt tensioner was the culprit. Pulled it apart and nope. It's weeping but not making a peep and the timing marks look fine. Hauled it to a shop to verify what I know. Yup, rod knock. Deciding where to go with it. I'm not looking for a performance upgrade. It was fine for what it was.....just want it to last. Anyone want to buy a nice OBP LGT auto.....with a knock lol? Ahh, great to be back. Any free shipping available on shortblock? Who is the go to these days? Was quoted just over $2400 locally.

seanyb505 Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Heuberger was the go to for a while some time ago. Mine was shipped for under $2,000 in 2016. You pandemic mileage may vary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitexc Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 I called and spoke to one of their reps. They no longer ship, claiming that no matter which carrier they used there were multitudes of complaints and claims of damaged in transit items. They were having a hard time with claims and keeping customers happy. Understandable I guess. Sounds as though local is a good bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoozeRS05 Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 I'd grab a motor from these guys with confidence.

I have a message out to JMP about an upgraded VF40, longevity based, not so much performance wise. I can see it now.This whole thing is going to be.....$$$$$$$$$$$.

ckwaters Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 I was testing for boost leaks. I think I have several and locating them is a pain since there is so much stuff attached to the top of a 2.5 turbo. Working on the 3.0 is a lot easier for me. The turbo inlet seemed to leak a lot so I put hose clamps around all the brass fittings but I hear air coming from around the turbo or something and the intake manifold blocks my access to everything. Anyway, I hooked up an STi Genome boost gauge that I bought from Croooober. So at least now I have a better idea of what the engine is doing. I got a peak of approximately 72kpa which translates to 10.5psi which is during gear changes. Generally stays around 60-65kpa or 8.7-9.4psi under acceleration. Is that low? It's a 2007 LGT with a 5EAT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nonamedude Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 I believe stock should see you hitting 13psi under full throttle I think around 4k rpm. Assuming you're not at a weird elevation. It might be worth it to just go pay for a smoke test since you know there an issue. Hoses get dry and brittle with age and removal, spring clamps lose their strength, gaskets go bad. The big ones to check are along the edge of the intercooler and the blue tee underneath it which is in the 07s still I think. Also make sure you don't have a pre turbo exhaust leak either.
