Hey I am finally getting my 2001 WRX remapped by the legend Andy Forrest next Tuesday.

Therefore I need to get my ars* in gear and fit a few parts.

Basically how long roughly will it take two guys top fit the following parts : ( Have decent knowledge of working on cars - not great though)

Turbo
Intercooler
Injectors
Uppipe
Fuel Pump

Also any advice on fitting the above parts? What ones will be the hardest ones and what problems may i occur ?

Thanks
Chris

 

half a day if you have plenty ov coffee breaks and thats one man not 2

 

in ya dreams half a day, 30 min to fit fuel pump, 2 hours to fit turbo, 2 hours to fit injectors, and 4 hours to fit front intercooler depending on what make you got, hope its not a cheapee cos the pipes are normaly a mile out, i recon a good day the 2 of you will get it done with out to many coffer breaks, good luck, been there done that never again i mite add

 

Thanks guys for the feedback .

I think it will take me a bit longer than half a day cause its the first time we have done it on a Subaru.

It involves removing the parts also.

Any advice on which parts should be recomved first etc?

Should I remove all the parts first then fit the new ones ? or one part at a time?

What problems might occur ?

Thanks

 

I reckon about half a day as well assuming its a topmount. Give everything that will be need to be loosened a good squirt of something like wd40 a few days beforehand and running upto the changes just to help things to turn when they should!

 

best bet is one job at a time, however if there are 2 of you then one can change the fuel pump whilst the other changes injectors etc. things like the intercooler and turbo and up pipe etc you may get in each others way

 

Yeah its a Topmount forgot to add that.

Thanks Jaytc for advice about WD40 few days before - I was just planning on doing that on the day.

Plan is ( Is this any good ?)

Change fuel pump while other person is removing Intercooler
Remove injectors and fit new ones
Removing turbo and up pipe
Fit new up pipe then turbo
Fit new intercooler

How that sound?

The one that is worrying me the most is the injectors? Not sure why though ha. Are these easy ? Any tips on doing it ?

 

plan sounds good,
Whilst one changes the fuel pump the other could start with the injectors on the drivers side, then when thats done the injector person switches sides and the other person makes a start on the turbo/downpipe/uppipe etc.

only removed injectors on an engine out of the car but it was easy to do, just take time and dont rush.

 

the only problem you may have is if something won't come off... like the downpipe nuts.. but as you are removing the turbo and uppipe you should be able to get the turbo and uppipe out as one.. therefore easy to resolve any stubbon nuts on that..
