Gary, A few questions for you regarding your 2.5 litre conversion 1) Is the cylinder bore the same diameter on both the 2.5 block and the 2.0 block (just a...
Jeff a 2.5 would be a great upgrade on the B4 here's some tips, based on the many B4's we have tuned and 2.5's we have done. (none 2.5l B4's BTW) You will need...
My BG5B GTB's developed an odd problem over the last few days, but I think it started to happen a few weeks ago, but has been getting worse. On the primary...
Hi Rich. Actually, it sounds to me like the clutch is slipping at 3500rpm and then biting again when the torque drops off at changeover. I wouldn't imagine any...
I did think it was clutch slip, but surely it'd slip agin once the secondary turbo gets going? Acceleration over 5000rpm is still pretty good, and the rev...
When the revs drop, does the car actually slow down? Or slow in accelerating? ECU reset didn't change anything at all? Other than clutch, I'm out of ideas....
I have noticed recently that many people who are trying to sell GT's and B4's in the UK claim that the speedo readings are actually indicating how far the...
Yeah when it gets converted each increment is one mile. So you get x kms
and y miles = total distance on the clock.

It sounds similar to a problem I had with the primary blow off valve (I think it was the primary) leaking/stuck - I replaced it with another factory bov and...
It's more that the car doesn't noticeably accelerate when they fly up from 3000 to 4000, then drop back to 3500, but yes, there is a definate slowing down of...
Unless all they did for the conversion to mph was fit a speedo face from a UK car that reads in mph. Odometer still reads in km, as does the trip counter. But...
Hi, Can anyone recommend a good fuel octane booster (not for motor sport use, purely to bring the octane level up closer to what the engine is designed for to...
I'm pretty sure I've heard someone say that the ECU limits the power and torque output of the engine through 1st and 2nd gears to not put excessive strain on...
... Doing that does just what you expect - no surge and drop in revs. If I accelerate in 1st/2nd then change up to 3rd/4th/5th keeping the revs abover 4000rpm,...
Ahh, yes, it could be done like that. The proof would be that the clock
would go to 110 mph (roughly 180 kmh) rather than an electronically
converted car...
OK, sorry, I thought the road speed/RPM relationship was off. My imagination is too useless from watching far too much TV :) Now I'm more leaning towards a...
G'day comrades glad to finally be accepted on this forum. I am a new b4 rsk owner JDM and it is my first real car and first subaru. I am having some niggling...
Hi Jhayhue, Welcome to the group. Firstly, the Check Engine Light, CEL, is a worry. If you can go to au.geocities.com/twinturbosubaru and click on "technical...
Hi Steve, and welcome Jhayhue. Just an update on the old code 66 for those interested. I just had my crank angle sensor replaced (at 197,000km mind you) due to...
I took the solenoid box out of the car last night, removed all the pipes one by one, cleaned them out with carb cleaner, cleaned all the little air filter...
Like that other guy said the other day, have you checked the BOV? You say it can be quite responsive if you hold it in the rev range. I'm still thinking about...
Yep - I've had both BOV's off the car, and both seal well if I blow through the pipes. If I apply vacuum to the vacuum line, they both pop open cleanly, and...
Hi Warren, I bought a new rad from IRS in Japan for my 99 B4RSK , their service was quick and efficient and would use them again if it's any use to you I paid ...
Quick update: This morning I finally got a CEL. Code 22 - Knock Sensor. So I now have a new theory. Engine is running lean during the transition from single to...
Does anyone know the part number for the knock sensor for a 1996 BG5B Legacy GTB? I would guess it's the same for all the BG/BH twin turbo models. This is...
