NEW Owner woo! Pic and a few questions

Hello Guys

Well here is my new baby, 01 Liberty B4

So is this Real or someone just badged it up as a STI and got a plaque made up and stamped?
only ifo i can find is either on the Gen4 model or just some random guy on a forum saying its like the Walkinshaw Commodores, you buy the car then give it back and STI will do some tweaks ????

No mods so far part from the Rims that were already on the car, but i will be looking at getting some better brakes, these are shocking, will be looking at QFM or Project MU Pads, (to start off with) and a Info Meter, like the Greddy B.R.A.I.N, but can anyone tell me what the OBDII port can read, i have a App on my iphone and a Kiwi Wifi device that plugs in, but doesnt actually read anything.


forgot to add, my headlight have a problem, the Low Beam shines above the roof line but high beam is ok, ive had a fiddle with what im sure is the adjuster screw but the lights arnt moving, help?

enjoy and hope you can help

Ben

By far the best B4.... Not biased one bit smile

No idea about the Sti badging. Going out on a limb here, but pretty sure I've never heard anything about tuned by Sti B4's.

hi and welcome to ozliberty smile congrats on the purchase

those badges look a bit iffy mate. there's no BE/BH STI Liberty B4. there is a BE JDM "tuned by STI" Legacy S401 (http://www.sti.jp/s401/main/index.html) which was never available in Australia (and your cars obviously not one of those). The rear badge looks like the ones you find on ebay. also the bezel on the intercooler is just that, a bezel, it's not an actual STI intercooler.

unless someone like docklands sti put badges on cars they've done a flash v-tune on (i thought they only did v-tunes on gen 4's and GD+ wrx's. i've also never heard of them badging cars after a flash) i'd say you've scored $30 odd worth of ebay bling

either way it's looks like a nice tidy car, enjoy!

Looks the goods. Are you in Melbourne? Has the car been tuned? Where did you find the OBII port?

Thanks Guys,  at the moment im leaving it stock (we will see how long that lasts)

The Car originally came from Granville in Sydney,there is no paperwork say it has been tuned, so yeah i doubt too that it would be a STI modded ahh well.

No not in Melb, Country NSW. the OBD port is under the dash, just below the flap for the Fuses



Anotehr question, ive read around on a few forums, that if you put a BOV (non plum back) in the Lib, the lag between the two turbos is increased, True or false?

leave stock bov , you will have problems otherwise. the bov is apart of the very complicated boost control setup and uses Restrictor pills either side of the vacuum ref point to bleed boost off. also the b4 uses a bov that has alot weaker spring then a wrx or liberty single turbo , after i fitted a aftermarket bov i had nothing but issues,
the MAF sensor needs to see the plumb back from the bov also , well atleast 50% of it any how.

the director of INSCAPE (spelling not known) owns it SITS IN A WHAREHOUSE IN SYDNEY
Inscape are the first port for subaru/vw/iveco and a few others
