Mystery time. An associate at work has a 2004 Forester, with an interesting problem. Any ideas:? 200,000 miles 40,000 miles Since head gaskets done at Dealer 20,000 miles since thermostat replaced at Dealer “Dealer did pressure test and some bubbles showing up, but they don’t know what is wrong” “When we turn the heat on, most of the time it’s way too hot and we die when it comes out of the vents, rarely (but sometimes) it works normally.” “The temperature gauge is always at normal”

jamal posted:Huh? The sti is the one that has all the extra clearance for twin-scroll cars. I don't think one exists that would allow better header fitment. What pan and what headers do you have? 04-05 style pan on 05 sti, invidia race header. It hits the pan, supposedly the 06+ pan will fix the fitment issue. I have the bottom left, and allegedly need the bottom right:

That's odd. So you have the bottom left pan and they don't fit? http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showpost.php?p=27383408&postcount=36 It does look like the later pan has a bit more room. They're about $80-90 and will work with your existing pickup and baffle. Although while the pan is off it wouldn't be a bad idea to put a killerb pickup in.

If you are racing then I see the point or you have a OEM fetish or Group N but.... just to do it? (Mechanicals are straightforward, there's wiring looms to be changed and poo poo like that that tho so it's not just drop in and go. Plus swap the ECU etc)

My 08 Legacy with 81K miles is making a strange noise after it's warmed up, only while moving, not brakes. It's speed dependent and kind of a whirring almost-whistling sound from about 20mph to stop, coming from the front. My mechanic said he couldn't hear it but I know it's there, it started up about 3 months. Do differentials get noisy in these models? I don't think it's a bearing or transmission.

Some guys here buy a furnace filter and cut it down to size, so if it's cheaper than a furnace filter fill your boots. Filters is filters, as far as I'm concerned. Get the cheapest, see if it works and only upgrade once you need it. The markup is insane especially on the factory filter.

With that turbo you would be okay, but I would try to find a stock sti tmic to go with it (and are you sure you don't want an 18g-XT...) I have a wholesale account at RSD so I can get anything on their site usually at a better deal.

I don't know what my fiance wants to do, he seems to be leaning toward "Who loving cares, I'll take the $700 final offer from the salvage yard and sell a couple guns and everything will be fine" right now. He's not really taking the loss of another vehicle very well; I don't think he wants to look at it again after spending an hour cleaning out his stuff from it and pulling the aftermarket audio stuff out. Also he found an '04 XT with a manual nearby for $6500.

Is just that a friend bought a crashed Spec C for the 6 speed and other bits(front clip, wheels, hubs, seats, dash etc) for his WRX, so he has the engine occupying space in his garage, conveniently there is a 06 STI' laying around with an unreliable engine a few blocks away from my house, all neglected and faded, it seems the car turns off after warming up, so I'm here thinking about a 2.0 high revving spec C engine on an STI for not a lot of money...

I like the 2.5. You know, no replacement for displacement and all that, and I would just fix whatever is wrong with the sti. I think all you would need to do is switch the cam sensors to run it with the stock ecu. I have a local guy shopping for a 207 swap for his wrx though.

No, you don't really have to worry about headgaskets on turbo cars. It should have had all the timing stuff and water pump just done. If you bring it to a mechanic to get checked out have them do a leakdown test.
