I did acknowledge the photo came from you Jason. If you read back you will see where in Harvey's post Subaru are saying only one red SVX was sold. Others here say there are 2 of them around. Joe

Joe its Lan that's going to do the Job. Yes we are going to change the radiator and at this point the electric water pump doesn't have enough flow to handle the engine so we need to do more work on the cooling of the engine as it seems to be a big problem. I agree about Bob so I will look over it again.

What pump is it you say will not flow enough, what make is it, how much will it output? Danny [Silver Spear] sent me this link, and I like the 110 litre model, it looks well specified. Are you sure something like this would not be good enough? http://www.hrpworld.com/client_image...ader/747_1.pdf Joe.

Joe I had a Craig 110Litre in one of my SVX's it wasn't good enough. From memory the current pump has a flow of over 200 litres so anything less is going backwards. My personal opinion is that the problem is somewhere else in the engine and I need to find out were. My guess is the engine doesn't have large enough passages to flow the amount of water to do get rid of the heat. Was thinking of getting an engine and put electric motor onto the pump and bench test were the problem is with the flow as regards restrictions.
Kiwis have been a bit quite, I hear they all live in Australia anyway. Tony

Joe the manual says 200l per min at 6,000 rpm. Would be interesting to find out the flow rate of a STI, know anyone that can help. The total water head is an interesting number 5 mAq at 3,000 rpm to 23 mAq at 6,000 rpm

There are at least two reds as I recall - one was in Perth at the same time that I was test driving one in Sydney
The Perth owner had a Cerbera also - cannot remember the fellows name

Re: Just brought SVX number 3
Quote:
The guy on the left between the cars is indeed Bruce (viking64), with a red SVX. The older guy at the back on the right with the camera is, in fact, my dad. I have driven two different red SVX's, both were for sale years ago. Both had the red roof. The red one I'm referring to owned by "John" had the black roof (i.e. is a pre-'94). His was, I was told, in fact pre-ordered and imported by Japan before SVX's went on sale, and as such may be JDM (He had plenty of cash to do it). It was supposed to be "The First" in Aus, but I can't substantiate that. Sorry to resurrect an old thread but I have been AWOL for a while with no computer and too much work.
