uRaBu5 Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 Went to see AndyF this afternoon so he could work his magic on the RB5. Car has just had the bottom end rebuilt so wanted to make sure the car was running as sweet as could be – don’t fancy that expense again! All went really well, with no major problems, except trying to pay by card. I’ve attached the dyno Andy supplied which I am delighted with. Certainly a starting point to go on from. 276 bhp and 309 lb/ft torque. Thanks again AndyF Derek

C_WRX Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 One day I'll get to sample the mans work first hand, one day !!
rallyfever Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 Can anyone tell me where AndyF lives - town will do as I am gonna get him to remap the car and will take the car to him. Cheers Gary

st3ph3n Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 Good results Derek. Saw/heard the car on .... I think Thursday last week when I was walking up to the station. Sounded great.

Good luck finding Andy’s garage, it’s right at the harbour and there is no name on the garage, and as I found out there’s 2 harbours! Find the Bene’s Fish and Chips and your nearly there. He did say he wasn’t too busy in January. Thanks for all comments, Derek
marky.t.s Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 Derek was it just an engine rebuild? i.e. no other mods,is the RB5 a UK STi with the PPP fitted as standard?.I'm not too clued up on the different engine specs,lol.
scoobymark Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 the only thing that beats the drive to port seaton is the drive back enjoy your new car derek it is difficult to find his place but look on the positive side you will find it alot easier the next time

Just went for the 2.0ltr rebuild in the end due to funds, or the lack of them, more to the point. The car has an uprated fuel pump, 3" ScoobySport exhaust and Meercat backbox, STi 6 speed box and clutch and now with some of the AndyF knowledge inside. Happy days!! Derek
Linky Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 Good figures bud. Not normal for the EJ20 to have more torque than HP. By the look of your graph thought you might have dropped a EJ25 bottom end in. Enjoy the car!!!!
jimser Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 good news indeed derek,hope you have a bit more luck from now on mate

G.Mac Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 glad to hear your mobile, larger torque figure on a 2l is nice, torque for the win!!!!! All the best and enjoy (off to see him on the 23rd for my 4th mapping session Graeme
Dougie C Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 Good results Derek Looking foward to the next run in the RB5 Your wee Bro Dougie C

frank c Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 (edited) Good to hear Derek.. Glad it's all sorted and back on the road mate. By the way, you must have went to Cockenzie Harbour as Port *SETON* only has one harbour Edited December 16, 2008 by Frank C

When are you hoping to get yours done? Derek
RS Grant Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 Good news Derek... glad to hear its all running well and putting a grin on your face again. Cheers, Grant

Derek LOL.. Your not the first and you won't be the last Steve's going to pick the car up this weekend and get everything ready and then I'll contact Andy. I should have really booked a date earlier but I wasn't sure of the time scales etc and didn't want to cancel anything last minute. I'll just need to hope he can fit me in soon after or pray for a cancelation . Either way, there's no hurry and thankfully i'm just doon the road.
cullenmin Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 Thats an excellent torque figure there Derek. As i started reading this thread I thought it was a 2.5 bottom end that you had dropped in to achieve this. Well done & happy motoring Rich
