THIS IS THE SPEC OF MY CAR WHAT I NO IT HAS?

The spec shouts JDM, where did you buy the car from originally??

OFF EBAY FROM BURY. ITS JUST SO STRANGE THAT IT HAS THE VF35 TURBO AND 2 CATS ON DOWNPIPE, DONT THINK I WILL EVER FIND OUT WHY

 

Can you not speak to the previous owner?

 

what exhaust`s on it?

 

it got a 2 piece downpipe, with 2 cats, centre pipe and sti backbox,

 

might be worth you trying to dig up some of the history of the car. As I understand, although I may be wrong, it was only the uk sti 8`s that had the vf35 so there is something not right there. is it a special edition? is it a wrx type ra or definitely an sti 8?

 

where are you based mate

 

hi its 100% sti, will have to just live with not noin what it is, lol as no one noes, iam in manchester? it iver must of had a new engine or had a new turbo and full exhaust? also my log book says engine number unknown? if its just had a new turbo and exhaust were has the 2nd lamda sensor come from as there is 2???

 

engine number unknown?????????

vf35 on a jdm?????


better look into the background of this car.

 

What about the Auction Sheet? All JDM's should have that ...

TX.

 

take it to someone who knows, just for your own piece of mind

 

few places local for you to get it checked out

 

this screams crash repaired car !! front end damage say with a non starting engine ??? whats the easiest to add ???

 

Engine numbers don't appear for jdm cars on our uk logbooks. What part of manc are you in ? bob it over tomorrow and i'll have a look at it. Sounds like a JDM to me.

My Uk STI 8 had a VF34 it was an 03 plate.

On that note my mates UK STI 7 has a VF35

As far as i can remember the VF35 stopped with the bug eye. I remember looking into this when i bought the car.

I would get the car checked as it may not be set up correctly for the turbo your running (if someone before you swapped it)

 

you cant just swop the turbo though, you need to change other parts as well

 

Yeah twin scrolls use equal lenght manifolds dont they?

 

iam in wythenshawe? were are you mate? could i bob it over today? does everyone think its has a uk engine droped in it? how would i know???

 

500 RPM Redline??????,

Get Immy to have a look mate, he knows a lot on these cars, he will square you away.

Good Luck.

Maybe the previous owner didn't like the sound of the twin scroll/equal length set up and swapped it for the more usual scooby sound?

 

Pop over at lunch time if you like give em a call on 07795373741.

another case of subaru using whatever`s in the parts bin. I know of at least one my03 sti 8 that had a vf35 on it as standard

 

If its still got the JDM engine in then chances are the inlet manifold has a blanking plug arrowed here:


If there is a hose coming from here then I'll bet its had a UK engine added as well.

As for VF34/35, I think someone has got them a little muddled up...

 

hi will see tomz mate , just been to get it remaped today and it was a pain because the ecu is set for the twin scroll so he had trouble remaping it, before i took it it was over boosting but now its been mapped its not as quick now more but at least its safe, think will try and get a twin scroll from somewere?

 

Hi, I live in Japan, have the same JDM STi and I also have the Subaru parts CD, with p/numbers and diagrams. If you let me know the VIN number, should be GDB-xxxxxx, I can check the CD and tell you exactly what your car should have.
CD covers all up to 2006 I think.

 

hi i have been to prosport and they put my chassis number in and said it is the twin scroll car but someone ahs put the uk engine in, that plung in the pic above mine has a pipe coming off it so must be uk engine well pissed,

 

sounds like a crash repaired car

 

so you bought a car off ebay? Did you hpi it? did you check anything up on it?

 

Also I assume you have got the v5 etc for it?

sounds like either stolen recovered and someone`s nicked the engine, or just stolen
