Trying Hard to Squeeze da last horse out from da block


Here Comes perfomance stuff....1stly....this wuz installed...HKS Type 1 turbo timer....ok this is not a turbo model...coz da freaking insurance policy in Australia says dat...drivers under da age of 25 are all barbaric drivers...they CLAIM dat we!!!...do not know how to drive/control cars of that sort of performance WHICH IS TOTAL BULLSHIT!!...fine....ok ok ...da reason i installed this device is because it times perfomrance time... (0-100km/h...0-400m...has a voltage meter....RPM meter and shift light...lap timer...and of course...TURBO TIMER...which shuts your engine down after you have pulled da keys out of da HOLE...i like dat function)...aight....had huge problems installing this thing...da timer and voltmeter could be hooked up easily ...but da annoying part is hooking up the RPM and Speed sensor to the ECU...it was a pain in the ass looking for the ECU PinOUts for this model...because SUBARU decided to switch back to a 2.0 litre engine with a totally differeng ECU...after 2months of searching...the mechanic gave up as well...we tested every single pin on the ECU to detect da signal and finally found then...VOILA...its back to life...BTW...this timer wuz taken from my beloved wira back in Malaysia....













Another View of the HKS timer at nite...







The picture on the right....look at the sidewall of the engine bay...there are 2 wires...one is blue and one is black(thick black wire)...they are both by PIVOT Japan...the blue cable is for low end torque and the latter is for high end torque...they are both connected to the negative terminal of the battery at one end...and at the other end...is as shown in the picture below:



I have recorded a decrease in my 0-100 time by 0.2seconds...which is alot for 2cables...expecting a greater improvement once i get the stock spark plugs replaced with Iridium spark plugs...A piece of ADVICE....from wat i've experienced...Platinum plugs are no better than iridium ones although they cost more...but more doesn't mean better...IT INCREASEs YOUR FUEL CONSUMPTION!!!.....so...if you are thinking of changing your plugs to Platinum...DONT!!....use iridium!!...haha...


ok ok ...thats it for now...need to continue my thesis .....shall update soon...
