Re: Brumby running rough, shuddering and bunny hopping

G’day Will, I sat on this one for a day or so after initially reading your post as this is a perplexing issue. I have an issue with my brumby sometimes where it feels like spark is cut as the clutch is engaged and throttle applied in the next gear up. I don’t know what causes this issue - but I’m no...

Re: Sister's Gen3 Liberty "Basil"

You’ll get there Subyroo! Basil has an extra ten years on your Subaru so “there’s still time” :lol: For a long time now Basil sported some offroad expeditions with my sister, well one actually… Late last year I tapped out the ding in the rear quarter that made him look way better even though he’s no...

Re: Silverbullets' resto: Engine, gearbox, suspension

Ooh exciting!

You can only ask about the filming. They may ask to not have any identifying features or themselves in the video - you can only ask! Or get them to do it the way they want it…

Now, make sure you sleep every night between now and then! :razz:

Whoa you’re game taking it for a drive of any sort out the driveway! Well done on getting it moving under its own steam! That bracket looks good and solid.

Re: Happy Australia Day!

Seems you took our usual summer heat Subyroo! We’ve got max temps in the mid 20s for the next few days before getting back into the early 30s.

Now to listen to the hottest 100 for 2023 today :twisted:

Re: 1992 project Brumby from Finland

Happy New Year Finnishbrumby! To answer your question about the KYB struts: the factory original oil filled struts are discontinued. The aftermarket KYBs are gas filled. They could be order only if not available on the shelf. Getting a set of struts and springs for the front end sounds like a good s...

Re: Silverbullets' resto: Engine, gearbox, suspension

I’m glad you got it to come back to life so easily. Hopefully it’s happy days from here on in!

That solid state relay setup, just the relay died and not the pump? Got to be happy with that over a dead intank (expensive) fuel pump.

I’m looking forward to the next update!

Re: Oil Subaru Outback

Not had similar to you but what you experienced with oil consumption and extreme heat makes sense to me. Tolerances in the bore, pistons and rings would be on the upper end of the scale in this situation which would lead to higher/excessive oil consumption. The oil may have passed the rings or blow ...

Well that’ll be a bonus for those cold starts once you get it sorted! I just can’t fathom how you’re having so many issues with original sensors/parts etc. I’ve had engines and parts sitting around for long periods of time and when put into use they haven’t had an issue. What you’re experiencing goe...

Re: Silverbullets' resto: Engine, gearbox, suspension

Sam, I’d double check to ensure the Halteck controls the IACV or if you need to adjust your throttle butterfly to set idle. I say this as many aftermarket ECUs we’re not capable of controlling factory IACVs, I’m not up with the latest in aftermarket ECU stuff because it’s not something I’m in to so ...

Re: 2024 New Engine Oil Change

G’day Dale, I’ve not had the chance or inclination to swing a new car into the stables but what you’re suggesting is what’s typically done after rebuilding an engine. I think the best thing to do is drop into a Subaru dealership and ask them about the warranty side of things if you DIY early oil cha...

Re: Silverbullets' resto: Engine, gearbox, suspension

That’s awesome about the support from Halteck! I bet that’s reassuring knowing that you’ve got that line of communication/inquiry when needed. Interesting about the FPR, I’ll have to look into this one at some point, actually that’ll be easy since I’ve got the turbo project setup with the fuel pick ...

Re: Silverbullets' resto: Engine, gearbox, suspension

How does the Haltek know when to fire the other two cylinders? And are you sure you know which cylinders are firing? It’s very unusual for genuine coil packs to die. That being said, the factory original coil on my Sister’s Gen3 RX Liberty started playing up at about 485,000km or there abouts. If it...

Neat mate! Looks good all painted up too! Fair call on the plumbing, I hope you don’t burn out a pump if it doesn’t work as expected. What’s with your vertigo?

Awesome work there Sam! I hope it does everything you want it to do after all that effort you’ve put in! I’d be working out which port on the EFI pump is the return and plumb your return line from the engine to this. The return port will typically drop fuel straight into the fuel pickup bucket that ...
