Dumb Question Thread!

Cant hurt.

Any thoughts on the quality of these intakes? http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=885421160

Should be fine its pro wholesale hes not dsrturbos.co.nz. i think if your intake is sucking in you should look at your filter first. Chances are its restrictive and can flow less than youre trying to suck thro it. Chances of that are slim on a vf.

Would those large top facing nipples make installing it without removing the intake manifold impossible?

Good point, I'd rather avoid removing the manifold if possible

On the assumption i would have the remove the manifold i guess i will just risk it and hope the stocker doesn't break...

Removing the mani is eassssyyyy. Dont need to pull it out of car just lift it enough to shimmy pipe in. New gaskets then bolt the fckr back down again.

Has anyone got any experiences with RHDJapan?

Any good?

Yep, recently ordered my Trust up pipe from them and it arrived in 3 working days!

If items are not in stock then they have to get it shipped from another warehouse so will add a few more days on top of that.

Brought my catch can through RHDJapan, no complaints.

If ones GTB Legacy has the Applied Model code of BH5C5CD, then that would mean its a Rev C, and the ECU is not able to be reflashed yah?

Pretty sure that the C after the BH5 is the revision number, so yes you would be right - not reflashable

Is there some sort of reputation system on here for people who have traded with other clubsub members? Thought it would be worthwhile?

Nope as yet but hopefully will be soon.

Aharr, that's what I thought... Bugger.

In the highlighted red is a wee joiner in the hose that goes to a T piece which conneted to the wastegate and the inlet of the turbo. Could I replace the joiner with a T piece and then hook it up to a boost gauge?

Au contra ire my friend, I have it on good authority that they can be and they can be done by a NZ company. The problem, as it usually is, is having lots of the foldy stuff. What are you wanting to achieve? If VOD reduction you should TRY and get your hands on a ZeroSports Sequential Controller which will allow you to alter when primary boots in and when secondary will kick in (within reason lol ) Be warned though, rather hard to come by these now ( I have one but can't afford install atm )

Easy to install.

When I sold mine a month ago there were two others floating about for sale on the subaru parts page (facebook).

I had trouble getting the $200 I wanted and eventually just sold it to a mate cheap.

Thanks Andy! That's awesome! Have done both mods posted by Marky and Ross but anything (other than ST) is gotta be good aye

Here is an English version of the manual that one of the guys from uklegacy helped me with... https://www.dropbox.com/s/0uzrco2j7wl55dr/Zerosports%20Controller.pdf?dl=0

I do know they can be done, I think it requires changing the chip, or otherwise hacking internals in the computer rather than plugging in a laptop.

The downpipes and cats on mine are rather haggard, so when they finally die I will upgrade them to something better, along with a couple of other things, which will require a tune of some sort.

There is a ZS controller on tardeme at the moment, however I don't have the $280 the guy is asking, which I think is to much anyway.
