wrx's run stock 15PSI while STIs run 17...dats extreamly alot.....especially when the wrx are looked at so highly......R34 GTTs run stock 7 PSI correct......with 10PSI its said to reach 200rwkw........

im sorry to all the rex fans but my opinion on rexs just completely dropped.

Why did you opinion drop because they run more boost stock? obviously the induction side of things is designed completely different to an RB motor, and if they can handle more boost out of the factory perhaps thats because of a lower compression ratio, or they have very strong internals... something I can't answer myself....

Completely different motor, still performs well.... but yes considerably more boost by comparison.

seriously blitz ur to up urself.... so ur saying just because its a completely diff turbo its able to run 17 psi stocK???

man 180s 200s and just about any other car i dont think is able to run that high boost stock.....all im saying is im really suprised that subaru is pumping 17psi through its turbos stock....

seriously man u should give it a rest......some of us here might not no as much as u mate...

i dont care how many ppl hide it or say they dont do it...but i give my car a bit of oof sometimes...and so what if its with anotehr car.....personally mate if u are lost for words maybe u should go to a all girls skool or something maybe this scene is to much for u....seriously

Wake upto himself?

Dude, your the one who needs to wake-up from whatever nightmare you trying to take us on each time you click the "start new thread" button.

And its nothing to do with "knowing" more than someone else.

There is more than enough information... www.howstuffworks.com (is a great start)

But to come here and say "OMG WTF BBQ this car runs 17psi on a stock turbo" means you dont even have a basic grasp of the concept that is a turbocharged car.

Please PLEASE think before hitting the new thread button for your own sake as much as anyone else as you take things FAR too personally and come across as a 15yr old kid with your words, spelling and the way you flame up.

Just relax

One of the lurkers here but I have to post.

I don't know where you have got these facts from but its bullshit. My best mate's 02 Sti is almost dead stock and is NOT running 17psi, try 12 on the STi boost spike.

What year/model subi are you talking about and where did you get this information from?

Think about this.

If you wound the boost up so highly on a Skyline (Rb25DET for example) you'd be making 46% more power (If everything else remains constant)

Basically, WAY too powerful for a stock car IMO. Plus, most likely over the "Gentlemens limit"

The RB motor has a decent stroke and bore, hence, makes plenty of torque, even when off boost.

The EJ motor has basically ZERO torque off boost, and as such, needs a touch more boost then a decently setup motor.

Both cars are designed totally different, and both perform totally different!

Why the whole 'Admin' point needs to consistantly be bought up is beyond me.

At the end of the day, everyones entitled to voice their opinions, and if certain people get pussy hurt by them, then maybe the internet isnt for them :)

There is a line, thats often crossed when threads deteriorate into harsh personal attacks, when that happens, the rules will always be enforced :rofl:

      Shifting questions

      By DRoc81 · Posted

      This was a huge help.  We followed the steps,  although shifting into 2nd was actually into 3rd for us,  and 1st was into 2nd ( steps 9 and 11) .  The long flash was the 4th flash.  So shift solenoid A is possibly the culprit.  Is this inside the transmission itself? Or is it accessible by just front the pan? Or is it bolted to the outside of the transmission?  Thanos for your help everyone

      Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.

      I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.

      I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?

      I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?
