Getting Ready to Wire up my Wide Band...I have decided to use a Single Cup mount on the Steering Column.. It will be separate, Visable, informative and Functional. That way my Tuner can see it as it will be right in field of view....while the intercooler is off.. I have to re-install my SPT Heatsheid.. and make sure the OEM Bracket is sitting correctly. Tune is supposed to be done on this coming Sunday..*3-21. Beyond EXCITED.. as the tune will bring some closure...I will be getting a 07 STi intake Manifold in the future..to finish my Refurbished look.. and to be able to use Top Feed Injectors.. Ohhhh I also bought a Steamer off of Amazon to Clean everything Top to bottom. Couple of other tricks that I have done..but I am not going to 'ReVeal' those until the time is right. Lets just say it falls along my Whole Theme of 'ATTENTION TO DETAIL'

Don't know if I missed it or not. You go with TGV deletes?

Well ... going back to stock Injectors as the 850's I have would not sync, thinking that I have a stuck inj..as my tuner kept trying to lean it out and it was taking 25% fuel away regardless of what we did on the tune.. After talking to my tuner, we decided to just run the stock Injectors for now..until I switch out to Top-Feeds, New Manifold, TGV deletes and 07 Fuel Rails.. Went thru about 6 different tunes to try to get the new Injectors dialed in. NO GO. The injectors were DeatschWerks 850cc SideFeeds... Regardless of what the tuner did.. they would NOT SCALE CORRECTLY.. soooo Back to stock.. for now to get it running drivable. Guess what I am doing tomorrow... The priority obviously is to get it running with a good tune..soooo
Was able to take some AFTER pics of the K&N Heatshield*installed that I refurbished.. Engine compartment is starting to take shape the way I want it too Still want to get a new Intake or refurbish the one I Have.. have the Grimmspeed Cherry Blossom Red or the Wrinkle Red VHT option.. I have both... we'll see Bill |

SOOOO SOO Relieved right now.. The STi appears to be OK. It was low on oil.. going to purchase new coilpacks..and new plugs anyways.. . Also, there was no bearing material in the oil. Going to send it off for analysis anyway... Thank GOD.. So it appears I escaped everything, Just stress. I believe what happened was one of the 850 injectors*sticking.. it washed down the cyl. and mixed with the oil. then actually burned like it was gas. causing the low oil condition...*My theory anyways..
There is no detectable Rod knock and now is on a fresh oil change.. Oil gauge is functioning properly.. as it should.. so Again it appears everything is OK.. PHEEEEEEW |

Will Do.. Just ordered OEM Subaru Coils and one step colder new plugs. Oil Pressure is normal now and not knocking.. Oil going to be sent out to BlackStone. Then we will see where we are at.. once I get the new coilpacks and plugs in.. Raise the boost to see if the spark Blows out again.. So much has changed since the day.. I almost feel like I am completely relearning everything I knew.. esp with Fueling systems. Went on a quick 5 miles drive.. everything seems ok. The oil Analysis will tell the tale.

STi is BACK. Cracked plug on #1 causing the Misfire. SUPER HAPPY. Long day but sooooo worth it in the end. Oil changed. Oil Sample getting ready for Blackstone labs. Plugs were a pain in the Butt. #1 compression @135psi; didn't look like any silvery speckles ..and its soooo STRONG. Love the new Turbo.. Positive manifold pressure right off idle.. OMG. and pulls all the way to redline.. PULLS HARD.. Oil change. new OEM Coil packs. 1 Step colder plugs gapped at .028 completed today .. SHE'S BAAAAACK

Looks good! I really like the seats and JDM fogs. I hadn't noticed until now that you updated the STi badge on the trunk, it matches the other updated black badges nicely.

yeah.. so it seemed.. it is still misfiring but only on startup and its intermittent.. don't think its a ringland as it has 130-135 compression on that Cyl.. but thats also the Cyl that I question the injector.. Have another set of Inj here locally.. so I am going to change out # 1 and see how it does..It runs fine. and pulls strong with no misses.. so we'll see

Thank you thanks.. I am KINDA PARTIAL to it myself... Well Oil sample is on its way to Blackstone.. Won't lie.. Kinda Nervous about it...we'll see .. Wish me luck that everything is OK |

+1 for checking injector. Sounds like a problem I had with my 05 way back.
