Threelions23 Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 I am getting my 5eat fully rebuilt, i have 380 turbo with all the goodies, but ive been running 17psi because the stock one was slipping like mad, mine failed and slipping because the transmission cooler hose ripped at the clamp and drained the fluid out, im guessing its heated the clutch packs to no return.. The full process im guessing is going to take 3-5 days there, 3-5 days back, 5 days to work on it, that will be almost the end of July, so i am hoping its gonna be worth the wait. when the ipt built one comes back im gonna get a solid tune on the car to make full use of the 5eat .

Hybrid22L Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 You'll love it. I hope they adjust your vb correctly. Took them a few times to get mine done correctly. The mastered the stock transmission with the vb mod, but on a built tranmission; it might take them a few adjustment to get it perfect. I hope they get it right the first time. Saves you the trouble of ripping it out and sending it to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had my IPT transmission since February of 2008. At the time I was at Stage 3 pushing approx 400whp and it had no problems. Today I am at Stage 1 and I can still launch if I want to without the risk of it slipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 I'll be installing my new fp68hta in a few weeks. I'm already using the IPT vb, but I don't expect the tranny to last very long. How much did the full rebuild cost you guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hutru01 Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Why did you go back to stock? Great question. When I first bought my car, it was beyond what I needed in terms of power. Most would consider this an impulse buy. Going beyond Stage 2 is a completely different world. There are a lot of things that you have to pay attention to and you really need to know exactly what you are doing in order to maintain a car on that level. For me, I didn't have the time or knowledge to keep up with frequency of checking boost levels, tightness of piping, running datalogs etc etc. I was getting check light after check light and became quite frustrating. The stock engine I have become very familar with (this is my second Legacy; previous was an 06 LGT sedan). I also really enjoy a faster spooling turbo around town. I hope all that makes sense.

hutru01 Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 its not hard at all to maintain my car.. no more so than it was when stock.. My car gave me all kinds of trouble when I got it. It was a different CEL every week. I only have my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threelions23 Posted September 1, 2009 Author Share Posted September 1, 2009 Yep i have a p0328 code (Knock sensor) i replaced the sensor but no luck... its still there ;-( im outta troubleshooting ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClimberDHexMods Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Don't know about your cel, hope you find the fault. The trans is so close to the knock sensor, maybe the wiring got nicked... anyways, did you get a chance to play with the trans yet? What does it stall at now?

Threelions23 Posted September 1, 2009 Author Share Posted September 1, 2009 Everything seems good but the car is running in Safe mode because of a P0328 code which relates to the knock sensor being faulty, But after replacing the sensor the code still remains there and cannot be reset...

ClimberDHexMods Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 One guy I know ripped his knock wires clean off the harness. which is why I think it could be that. But i don't know about that cel. have you posted this in the general forum with a big "HELP?!" yet? EDIT: checked resistance or voltage through the wires? Might be time to tap into the knock wires!

Threelions23 Posted September 2, 2009 Author Share Posted September 2, 2009 Havent tried that, I am a bit of a noob on forums, but ask me how to fix networks and i can write you a manual!!, I took it to the Dealership today and the guy said that even with a knock sensor thats faulty if he cannot erase the code then its pulling the code before the engine is fully running so either a cut wire or its kinked or a bad connector but he doubts the issue was the sensor itself, but they will let me know tommorow hopefully, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threelions23 Posted September 3, 2009 Author Share Posted September 3, 2009 Subaru confirmed the wire between the sensor and ecm, they fixed it !!! Rally Subaru is awsome!! thx guys!, the tranny is running great the way Subaru should look at building theres ;-), I am running 17 psi on the avo380 detuned on the low end because of the stock tranny at the time, BUT NOW!! I am getting her tuned as soon as my tuner has time availible.nBut good solid shifting i havent redlined her in first yet to check but i am slowing feeling the urge to but in 2nd and 3rd its right on the redline, As soon as i have time i will take a video of her in action! ;-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClimberDHexMods Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Wiring is the ultimate b&%#h of a car, BY FAR! and now you know why. Glad you have it fixed! Please post your stall speed (RPMs of course) of the modified TC when you get a chance. Thank you!
