You could get these two clutch items to make a kit which is what I did. http://www.ebay.com/itm/XTR-RACING-S...24ccdc&vxp=mtr Then the F1/xtr racing flywheel. http://www.ebay.com/itm/XTR-RACING-C...24505a&vxp=mtr I know the clutch says for a NA 2.2, but it will work for your car along with the flywheel. Since you are keeping your engine stock power wise, the slightly upgraded 2.2 NA clutch will work perfectly (look at the torque for the stage 1 clutch) since the throwout bearing is the same I believe. Or, just get this kit and keep it simple: http://www.ebay.com/itm/XTR-HD-CLUTC...245081&vxp=mtr ~Josh

A new stock clutch with the F1/xtr lightened flywheel will be a nice upgrade but will keep the feel of a stock clutch. I have the xtr stage 1 clutch with the same flywheel and it is still smooth as stock... The horror stories from people are ones who use a lightened flywheel with too aggressive of a clutch and get chatter and other stuff. Have you driven an NA subaru with a stock clutch and lightened flywheel..?? |

On a car like yours with a hydraulic system, it is not quite as direct of a feel compared to a cable operated clutch. But, I haven't rode in an sti like yours to see the difference from a stock clutch and flywheel to a stock clutch and lightened flywheel. I know getting a Southbend clutch stage 1 with a lightened flywheel will still be pretty close to stock. It is the stage 2 clutches and above that have issues with the lightened flywheel due to the material and characteristics of the upgraded clutch disk. Could always do a stage 2 pressure plate from southbend and a stage 1 disk with a lightened flywheel. |

I thought the point of a lightened flywheel was to lighten the rotating assembly which allows the motor to rev faster. I don't think it will "shift better"

Rev up and down faster, yes. Lighter flywheels can also cause higher fuel consumption due to less rotational mass. Shifting may become more difficult (such as rev matching) until you get used to it / do it faster. You also lose your torque "storage" so taking off may be a bit difficult.. again, I haven't ever drove an NA though, so I'm not familiar with their power.

What I meant by shifting being better with the lightened flywheel is that the clutch grabs a bit faster due to less weight of the flywheel and allows a bit quicker shifting. So, faster grab and slightly faster shifting. But, when I put the lightened flywheel on my car I didn't have one problem getting going what so ever. It is more in how in tune the driver is to a 5 spd and such and technique.. In the end, it is up to you if you want to get the 2.2 stage 1 clutch and add the flywheel, or get the whole stock setup with the lightened flywheel. Both will be about the same but the stage 1 will grab just a bit better overall. I know when I hit 6500 rpms in my 2.5/2.2 NA hybrid engine the clutch grabs nicely for what my engine is putting out. So either way, both clutches will work. ~Josh |

Question.
Will adding a new clutch, lightened flywheel, rear sway, and STS give me a check engine light? If so how do i go about removing it? |

Ok. So here is a little update.
On monday the shop my car is at called and said, Hey we found out what the sound is. It was coming from the lifter in cylinder 3, we can fix that real easy. Once we get that all sorted out we'll seal the engine back up and we're good to go! I think awesome!! On tuesday I call them to see we're they are in the process. They say, We are still hearing a little noise from cylinder 3 we'll make some adjustments and run if for a little while and give you a call back later today. No call Wednesday morning they call and say, "You were right. It looks like it's been rod knock the entire time!" :unamused So long story short I've got plenty of options right now. I might even consider selling it back to them and putting that money towards an 08+ wrx. So if you guys wouldn't mind keeping an eye out for cars in your area's that would be awesome!! Also If you could keep an eye out for and 08+ wry donar car for a turbo sway that would be great too! Thanks in advance! |

Did the mechanic unplug the spark plug or coil pack connector to cylinder 3 when it was running to see if the sound went away?
If not, then they should do that.... Could still be a miss diagnosis... But, with a turbo'd subaru, maintenance becomes much more critical along with driving habits and fluids used such as oil and stuff. No 5w30 oil if you get a new wrx.... no matter what anyone else says or thinks... |

Hey guys. FYI www.car-part.com is a good place to look for an engine.

Oil will leak out the motor and into the spark plug tubes. Seals around the spark plug tube deteriorate and oil pushes in. Plug wire cap is sealed to the valve cover, so no oil appears. Dropped over 1 quart between oil changes. Most of it in the plug tubes.

While the thread is old and bumping it was a bad idea the major take away is the OP said "I check it everyday" but it was oil starved One can see the error in that statement then followed by the posts about various options, makes for classic fail.

I always check my oil and coolant level at least once a week at work in the flat parking lot.
