Here's a link to my post about my boost data on IWSTI.com for those that are interested: http://www.iwsti.com/forums/2-5-liter-litre-factory-motor/251297-38-psi-spike-stage-1-sti-wtf.html#post3734062 So far no concrete answers, but two posters maintain that the MAP sensor doesn't even read past 22-25 psi so it may be "corrupted" data. I don't know how/why data becomes corrupted, but I certainly have witnessed computers/electronics gently caress up once or twice. Edit: posted this before I refreshed the last page to see Jamal's response :3 . Thanks for speaking up Jamal, that makes me feel alot better.

I'm kindof surprised that they're selling so many of them. I just picked up a Premium Crosstrek and I'm super happy with it so far since it fit my wants and needs perfectly, but it doesn't seem like the type of thing that'd be flying off the metaphorical shelves. not sure what all of the differences are, but the main ones that she wanted were leather seats, navigation, and backup camera. Mostly I prompted her to get leather because she has a tendency to spill things in her car (she also got the rubber all-weather mats for going to the mountain) and I suggested she get the backup camera because she doesn't always have the best sense of her surroundings and I figure it'll help her when parallel parking. She also wanted moonroof and heated seats so really she ended up with a nearly fully loaded car, only a few minor things that she opted not to get like cargo nets, side moldings, interior illumination kit, upgraded speakers, air deflector, metal pedals, yadda yadda.

I would try to have a new inlet made I think, although just changing the water pump isn't that huge of a deal. You can re-use the rest of the timing stuff although you'd also need a new center timing cover. I think the newer n/a pumps have a front inlet like the turbos.

I sincerely hope Subaru's version of a CVT is better than the one in the Lancer I'm driving at present. Holy gently caress I hate it sooooo much, I'd rather the clunky bastard auto in the Statesman than this utter shitfest. What a vile car. Which is something I never say about Subarus, they all seem to have some level of competence - not like this understeering, noisy, poo poo steering piece of crap. And that gearbox..... wow that is just spectaclar in just how bad it is and how this CVT just doesnt work in driving a car. I'll gove the gearbox one thing in that the manual mode is a big improvement. Letting the CVT do it's thing is just.... bad.

Totally TWISTED posted:I blame it on the rising belt-line. Not specifically Subaru related but I was reading an article about this. The article was saying that pedestrian safety rules are the primary driver (har) of the rising belt lines, larger than necessary wheels (to maintain visual balance), and some other business about the windshield angle of incidence with the hood. I'm sure my paraphrasing sucks, but it was an interesting little write up. Pop mechanics might have put it on the web by now.

My equal length headers arrived today. I gave them a good looking over and I'm shipping them tomorrow for "White Lightning" ceramic coating at Swain Tech. I am very excited to get them on the car and get re-tuned.

We got our Forester back today. Holy hell did they do a good job, it looks (at least from the front end) like a brand new car. Though now that we have it back, the annoying belt-like sound we had before it went in to the shop has gotten slightly worse. It's engine speed dependent but goes away before WOT, sounds like a belt squeal but apparently isn't (the shop lubricated it multiple times trying to pin it down since we asked if they could identify it for us, and gave up since the body work was done and they're a really busy shop). It comes from a little too far back to be the accessory belt, anyhow. High and slightly back. Any ideas what it might be? My fiance's going to take some post-repair photos tomorrow and put together a before-postaccident-postrepair spread so once he gets that put together I'll share it just in case anyone cares.

I think I need to following: I have most of the gasket part numbers floating around and the subaru parts lookup stuff if you want to go that way. It's cheaper than ordering the kit and you don't end up with a bunch of extra stuff. The gates kit comes with a water pump and an exedy OEM clutch kit comes with the bearings. Do you want an oem flywheel or something lighter? jamal fucked around with this message at 21:13 on Dec 12, 2012 |

daslog posted:I can get the gaskets and seals via my dealer connection. You can shift quicker because the engine doesn't have as much rotational momentum. It can make it harder to drive for new people as well for the same reason. I know on my EJ25 I'm often left waiting for RPMs to drop when upshifting at low speed as the ratios are pretty far apart for 1st/2nd/3rd gear.

The biggest thing is probably that the revs drop quicker between shifts, so you can shift faster without putting extra stress on the syncros. But I didn't look up prices before I suggested that and for some reason they cost way more than a standard exedy or stock replacement (like 380 vs 100).

Lighter flywheels on some cars also seem to like to chuck a CEL because the crank position sensor gets upset about it. It didn't happen to me on my WRX's Streetlite but it was a bit of a pain having to revmatch to go from 4th to 5th because my hand is slow. I went back to stock when I replaced the monster pressure plate anyway.

poo poo I spoke too soon: I'll just copy and paste what I posted in lgt.com Hey all, I have a 2005 bone stock Legacy GT 5EAT, car has about 70,000 miles, when I bought it it felt (around 7 or 8 k miles ago) Lexus smooth on downshifts and upshifts, however after about a year of trouble free ownership I begin to notice intermittent rough downshifts in the following situation: When coasting to a stop over long distances it downshifts very rough, the whole car feels like moving forwards and backwards like it's "floating" then it settles, short stops or downshifts stops while breaking are perfect. So I changed (replaced, not flushed, bought 8 quarts, they used only 7) the gear and diff oils to Motul Multi-ATF (Trans) and Motul Gear 300, both are synthetic oils, I went to the website to check if ATF-HP or Idemitsu ATF are supported and indeed they are: http://www.motul.com/system/product_descriptions/technical_data_sheets/149/Multi_ATF_(GB).pdf?1335542544 Is the same oil, same cover, bought at the only Subaru dealership, they claim is the one they use on 3.0R's and 2012 Legacy GT's, curiously the one at the dealership doesn't show ATF-HP or Idemitsu on the back, but they are the same part#, they do not stock Gear-S, no one does in my country (I live outside the US) and after Sept 11, I cannot buy any liquids trough a courrier. In any other situation (upshifts, from P to D, P to R, D to N) the shifts are buttery smooth and shifts very quick on cold mornings, hot afternoons you name it, upshifts that used be kinda rough before the fluid change are now imperceptible, but that incredibly annoying downshifts on coast are killing me, any ideas?? I'm thinking Diff bushings, I checked them and while they don't look brand new (a few little cracks at the edges) they are not completely bad... Any ideas? I truly hope my trans is OK, I don't have the US$2,000 it takes to change it

Where are you located? I have a friend up here in Maine with a 5eat he's trying to get rid of. I think it has somewhat low miles and worked fine before the car was crashed. I guess I missed your post on lgt. I don't go in the 4th gen section often, though.

I'd doubt diff bushings unless you get a similar wobbly feeling on hammering-it upshifts (like at WOT... automatics are pretty smooth unless you're doing that). Is there a CLUNK sound? Maybe hop underneath and take a look at the transmission mount and the crossmember it bolts into. I assume the LGT also has driveshaft carrier bushings but you'd probably be seeing weird behaviour in different contexts too. e: Maybe get someone to put it up on a lift and run it through the gears, though I have no idea how an automatic would do that in the air.
