Sounds good Spencer, it would be great if you could put together a full parts list and some piccies for those who want to venture down the same track. Can I...
The engine on my 93 GT has recently failed, No. 4 piston completely disintegrated........ Not able to find a reasonable twin turbo replacement engine in the UK...
Bad news Paul, sorry to hear. You will hit a problem with the heads however, the twin turbo heads have an extra oil feed and additional piping for the water...
How about sticking the secondary in place of the primary and the TD04 in place of the secondary? Or just TD04 in place of the primary? Hmmm... as far as I can...
Thanks, I have modified the heads for the extra turbo, one hole drilled for the water pipe (just interference fit) and another boss drilled and tapped (the oil...
Your on the money I would say then Paul, give it a try and see what happens.....Not sure if the ECU might spit the dummy with one turbo though ??? Paul ... ...
There's a couple of reasons why I dumped the whole twin turbo manifold and downpipes. Firstly I think the secondary alone wouldn't be able to flow enough air. ...
Sounds like you got a bargain, no wonder you made the decision to change it with what you have done. Keen to see the pics and find out how it goes though... ...
Hi everyone I'm trying to hook up my amplifier in my 2000 B4. Does anyone know if there is a good 12V wire anywhere in the boot (running direct to the battery...
Paul,
The exhaust flap valve which feeds the secondary is really small and pretty= ugly from the point of view of flow. I'd doubt you'd get enough flow throug=...
Just Purchased a 1999 RSK. In New Zealand we have 96 Octane and 91 Octane. It would be better to use 96 but would 91 screw the engine? Also what Petrol would...
... 91 would be a waste of time - if you wanted to use 91 buy a Mini. It shouldnt cause any damage if you had no alternative and had to use it to limp home,...
i disagree... the ecu will learn to compensate the lower octane petrol... u used normal unleaded petrol for about 3 months and didnt notice any difference... i...
Yeah? How many degrees would the timing have to be retarded from the usual 100RON when using 91RON? Would the ECU be able to compensate that much? What's...
Go with 98 Mobil Synergy 8000 - look for the stations that only advertise the price for 91 on their sign boards (and not 96, because they only sell 91, and 96...
Thanks for the replies guys. I meant Oil in the 2nd question "Also what OIL would be the best to use. Temperatures in Winter range from -3 degrees in winter...
Roller bearing Mark, that's why they can get a bit noisy when they are starting to wear. Regards Paul ... Can anyone enlighten me, to whether we have, roller ...
http://subaru.com.au/downloads/63749.pdf There is a technical manual with all the details on the MY02-03 B4. There is a page on the turbos there. :-) Hope this...
Paul, For BG5 ? Also what size are they. Trying to get info, but drawing a blank. Cheers Mark ... From: Twin Turbo To: legacyb4@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday,...
Hi, I currently rebuilding my 93 Twin Turbo GT, using a more modern UK engine with the plumbing off the twin Turbo. (The GT was originally an Auto) Currently...
All, I am contemplating an order for a new GT B-Spec and am stuck when it comes to deciding between 5AT and 5MT... till now, this has never been an issue and I...
I'd say if the auto has an automatic toe and heel on down changes then it would be good choice!! Does anyone know it the auto is a "clutchless manual" - like...
Mohan, The auto is just that, an auto. But it is very good, and mated a ripper of an engine :-D Paul, The manual is a whole lot more than "minor" in its mods -...
Anton, thanks for the appraisal, I also read the (amazingly brief considering the momentous occasion) drive report on apexjapan... what has worried me is an...
Hi I'm having problems with secondary spool up - as in there is no spool up. The primary spools up fine and boost stays at a low 0.4 Bar throughout the rev...
Matt, I had a similar problem after a service one time. There is three pipes on the top of the engine all grouped together. Make sure one of them is not ...
Hey Matt, how's things (apart from the obvious :-)) Put the ECU into check mode and see if the exhaust actuator is actually functioning, at least that will ...
Paul The flap valve in my BG5B (MY97) is also very small hence my response to your earlier thread. I doubt that it has been enlarged in the B4s since its...
Hi Matt I had a similar problem with my GTB wagon (MY2000), also had smoke from secondary turbo area no boost and check engine light, after the car had been at...
