General 8G Question Thread

[beam514]

^ah very true... lol so they paint everything but the rear bumper at the same time. makes perfect sense, sounds like the military lol

nah my front bumper is slightly off too. I'm assuming they paint the car without the bumpers so as to get underneath (ie radiator support, rear bumper support, etc.)

[Galantman03]

^my front bumper is spot on, hmm. I know this doesn't really pertain to stock g's but, how are people attacting Cali's fender flares? Do you need the oem rubber gasket for the flares to work right? What about molding tape, you think that will hold them down and stay on?

[DTP]

My bumpers are the same color... For now. Both need to be replaced, but i can't afford JDM :(

[M-Rod]

it takes time dtp. I could have done a full jdm body by now but... I gotta have the go fast stuff first :)

[DTP]

I need to focus on performance stuff. My last track day showed me that.

hmm question... and just confirming... haha, these are the dark blue wrx injectors that are directly plug and play into our connectors correct? I need nothing else? just making sure. Thanks

being a complete noob here would this give us any gains?

[DTP]

I think they are higher flow rate for boosted engines. Correct me if I'm wrong.

you can, but you'll run really really rich... which isn't good.

yep they are for forced induction... I just can't remember if these are the correct wrx injectors... they are dark blue, but to me thats blue not dark blue...

[mrg7243]

Uhh the dark blues are 440cc and the pinktops are 560cc. Both top feeds. I would stick with what has been proven

[reiketsutsukigami]

those look exactly like the ones i have that are rated 565cc/min they are plug n play and high impeadence but unless your boosted its kinda pointless and if you are then you might run into the same problem i am....theyre waaay small i hit fuel cut almost right away.

[reiketsutsukigami]

look around though i got those same injectors for 90$ in like new condition.

the pinks are rated like that. If you are hitting the fuel cut at 20psi then you have to be running the 440cc. considering stock evo injectors at 560cc can run 23psi max. Either that or your tune needs alot of work

[DTP]

What exactly is done during a "tune"

[mrg7243]

well it depends but basically the go through the ignition, timing, and fuel maps of the ECU and readjust ECU values. Allows for more performance, more mpgs, and a happy smoother running tune. Generally the stock ECU maps leave much to be desired.

If you want to read more look on club3g and Evom on the how to tune section.

I'm on C3G now... Same s/n.

That's what I thought, wasn't sure though. I used to work next to a dyno shop. Sexxxy cars came though all the time

GalantTuners has some great info on it as well.

the link says they are 600 cc injectors... and you can always increase your duty cycle on the injectors, but idk what max would be.. 80% duty cycle sounds max to me, but idk for sure

[Fresh_617]

because the 8G DID come with a manual transmission. A very select few 1999 DE's had the manual trans.

whoa if thats the case if one were to find this rare car would it be easier to swap for 5 speed insted of stealing it from an eclipse and swaping a whole bunch of parts from other things such as 2g starters and all that?

[M-Rod]

2g starter is only needed when using a 2g flywheel and clutch kit.
