Subaru sti damaged Videos

Thanks. I'm glad someone is liking the vids. Sounds like u need to post some vids of ur s2k ;p I promised my mechanic I'd quit screwing with my car and just wait for the build. Everything will be installed then. Its easier to install right the first time then for him to fix my mistakes later haha. Money's not really an issue, atleast so far. I'm just waiting for the build to start. My car, the parts, and even some of the labor is already paid for. He's just a pretty busy guy; and alot of what he does is usually full motor builds with customization so it can take longer then a typical build.

I don't think they're gonna cover it.. It's only an $83 piece. Im still trying to see if any of my friends can get it for me cheaper. Then i'll get it and install it and all should be good. Should!

Ah, my bad... I did the fatal "assumption" and thought you had a speed/density (non-mas) system. Speed/density systems takes an indirect measurement of air flow, and based on that measurement assigns a tabulated value to the fuel flow. Therefore with no mas I "assumed" the leak you were referring to was in the intake manifold or related components. With this new info you are correct that a lean system can result. I have to stop assuming!!!! Thanks for the correction.

Firstly, it's not an STI. Secondly, it was a stock STI block bolted to wrx 2.0 heads that I cheaply corrected the compression ratio with by using thicker head gaskets. The car was not the problem, the modifications and hard life was. I put 120k hard miles on the completely stock engine with a Cobb stage 2 setup before I started any major modifications and never had any issues. It is now a compete STI swap with forged internals, including the driveline.

Hey topher, thanks for posting/sharing that video, I read your comments and learned a lot as well. You seem to know a lot, so I'm going to throw the question out there, my 2002 impreza wrx is running rich, does anything come to mind to check for? I've spent countless hours in the forums, and have a hundred things I will be checking, but would appreciate your 2 cents as well! Cheers, David.

No, it has headers. The more you know... Exhaust manifolds are usually made from cast iron, and are big, bulky, and not designed for optimum flow. Headers are normally tube steel with a separate tube from each exhaust port to a common collector, this arrangement helps with flow, and scavenging, thus helping the engine to produce more power.

@topher170 while that is true that cyl 3 is closest, the extra heat from the turbo makes no difference because the cylinder is surrounded by a water jacket, the coolant would absorb the extra heat. Cyl 3 is the more restrictive port in the header, so that's what I would blame the extra EGTs on that cylinder from.

The leak was before the turbo in the inlet hose, which is under vacuum at spool, therefore drawing in extra air after the maf sensor. That means that there was more air in the system than what the maf sensor was reading... which equals lean. I agree that a leak after the turbo would result in the opposite.

I was in the process of tearing it down, that's why everything was disconnected and no belts. Someone wanted to know what it sounded like so I fired it up and recorded it. The motor was trashed and coming apart anyway, so I really didn't care. It now has a built block and heads.

Hey topher I am having the same problem as you with the damaged piston and it just coincidentally happened also to be Piston 3, I also have an STi with EJ257 shortblock but EJ205 heads. Was wondering how much it cost you to fix ? and what job you did to fix it ?

@sDcMoo I never had a problem with the trans, however, I just swapped in a sti 6mt and R180. I had 120k miles on the stock drivetrain before the swap. If you don't shock load it, you won't have a problem. Smooth is fast.

@CVRealMan It was a stock sti short block. The pistons are the weak link in the sti blocks. It ran lean due to an intake leak and trashed a piston. It has forged pistons and rods now.

I was in the process of tearing it down. Who doesn't have a scan tool these days? Takes about 5 seconds to clear codes, plus I re tuned it when I put it back together anyway.

Who really cares about damage? You will only see the damage if you are a shitty driver, I never crash when I play GT5P, and theres no damage in that at all, so i dont miss having damage, all you morons that want damage in a racing simulator like GT5 go play your gay ass Forza, NFS, or burnout.

its a nice track , it is a demo but jsut wait until gran turismo 5 comes out it will be GREAT. day and night racing 1000 + cars, psp companbility DRIFT NASCAR WRC. JUST EVERYTHING and the guy had steering assists it wasnt pure racing with everything disabled. thx :D

@Bum4Lifizo Your not slamming anything into my face, but I slammed my dick into your mom's face, your an angry little cunt, SO GO FUCK YOURSELF, I can't believe your still responding to my comments, it's fun provoking little nerds like you.

@veyron12020 Wow go fuck yourself sad little bitch , I hope you die you fucking piece of motherfucking shit... Damage is what makes these games fun you retarded stupid asshole.

@Bum4Lifizo Yes, fuck you and fuck your personal opinion, your an annoying little bitch, so I am gonna say it again. GO..FUCK..YOURSELF, okay shithead?

@veyron12020 Yeah , I know that are ASSHOLE pricks like you on the internet.... You should just GTFO. im not gonna argue with a fat nerd like you.

@veyron12020 I'm sure I'm better driver than you even though some cars could hit me from behind on braking and I like to see the damage in the car

you don`t like simulators, you like arcade games, damage it`s something very important in drive games......you are the moron

im saving up for aPS3 so i can get this when it comes out and uncharted and metal gear and heavy rain!!!!

naw just get GT5 u dont need forza its to much effor to switch the 2 discs when u wanna play online FAIL

Polyphony Digital should do a colabo with Rockstar. Then this game would have some badass car damage.
