ECU Tweaking?

[Zheiko]

:wtf: I give up... what the hell does that mean? is that good or bad?

Edit: in my owners manual there are only mentioned SOHC and DOHC... no QOHC...

 

[tommy 555]

because it has 2 banks of cylinders and has twin cams on each set its actually a quad cam .

its a learning curve on these cars

 

[Zheiko]

Well, I am the kind of person, who likes to know what hes driving/using(I know exact PC spec of my own build PC and I knew everything about my corsa, so now I wanna know most about my Soobie)

I just hope I am not too annoying... so if I want to do anything with the owners manual, such as changing spark plugs, I should follow the lines that says DOHC?

 

[tommy 555]

yup . lots of fun changing them I find . so awkward to get 2.

 

[Zheiko]

So EJ204 isnt anything weird in Ireland? So far what I have found its made in Japan, VIN says JF1,

Not even mentioning what wiki says, that car should not even exist never trust Wiki

standard bumper on it front with Splitter , that one was a genuine subaru item @500+ quid a piece , can get a different one from 100 sterling from ht autos in the uk , rear spoiler is is wrx type item , back bumper is standard ( same as wrx though) bonnet and scoop are genuine sti aluminium type as the standard bonnet will not support a scoop if cut out ,

Is there any engine modification required if I wanted the STI Bonnet with scoop?

 

[keith dublin]

No
Maybe a bucket to catch the rain

 

[Zheiko]

So that part up there where the scoop is, should not be opened/modified in order to get better cooling(not that it would be necessary)

It sits over the intercooler
If you don't have an intercooler it's just a hole
It will help with cooling but I don't think your gonna have to worry about heat

 

[keith dublin]

• I'm sure you could make some sort of blanking plate to put under it

Cost of it will out weigh ANY gains

 

[Zheiko]

So, order sti bonnet and close the hole so I don't get water on my engine...

Thanks Tommy, do you know where I can take my car for Diagnostics? I mean, I bought it recently, but as you can see, my knowledge is very limited, I would like to be 100% sure the car is in best condition. Of course I would like someone independend, not some subaru service that will charge me crazy money and tell me all is ok
