i think peter was implying that with those injectors it is very doubtful that the power figure for that car is accurate mate.......

HI Jimmygforce

Could you please remove the picture of my car as your advatar, If you need proof i can send the original picture.

Hi Rallyfever

Choices choices M8, but at least you have plenty to choose from.

Dougie

[dougie549]

I have never asked for it to be there and tried getting in touch with them plenty of times and no answers yet

Cheers anyway M8

if you go onto the RC website it calculates the injector size you will need etc, quite a good wee tool....if you are looking at that car i would ask what duty cycle his injectors are at, it must be impossible for 550s to run that horsepower. my understanding would be that the minimum size required for that power would be 740s.....(ok, so i used the calculator on rc's website). i need to get out more. lol...

i think you'll find that he is in fact running 740's and had made a mistake in his ad.

its quite amusing reading the comments of keyboard tuners who have never dirtied their hands on their own car all the same

Hi Fella,

The search continues, I find out this week if I am getting my redundancy through at the end of this month as I have requested, or if I have to wait until the end of September as stated in my contract - give me the cash now I say and let me get another Scooby!!!!

Cheers

as you say, the mistake was on the advert, and as rallyfever had asked about the car, comments were made ref the injectors as he has been asking for advice on the cars he is looking at. dont see the harm in trying to offer someone some friendly advice, had the advert been correct then he could have been looking at a car which was not as described...crystal ball wasnt working too well at the time..

dont see anything wrong with not doing the work on the car myself, some people prefer to do the work themselves, some people prefer to have it done for them, i fall under the second category. does that mean that people who do the work themselves are the only 1s who are allowed to pass comments on cars or offer advice??im not claiming to be a wealth of knowledge when it comes to subarus, but ive been an owner for a fair while now and had plenty of tuning done over the years to know a wee bit, so to be called a "keyboard tuner" by someone who doesnt even know me is a bit sh*te...

The white Type R runs 550cc injector for 470bhp?

if you look at yours/peters comments above you will see that you were both doubting the cars power output.a genuine mistake in the ad (re the injectors)as the guy is probably a bit like yourselves with more stages than a rally season.

so while giving out the friendly advice you could also have cost the chap a sale.

the clue that the car power output was genuine was here

THE CAR WAS PART OF TO TOTB 06 SUBARU TEAM AND HAS BEEN PROVEN AMONG THE COUNTRIES FASTEST SUBARUS.

PROVED AT ONE STAGE IN 2007 (NOT SURE IF STILL THE CASE) THE FASTEST EJ257 1/4 MILE TIME.....11.2 @ 127MPH

not sure about you but peter should know what power needed to run a time like that without a crisp packet lol

the clean handed keyboard tuner comment was actually a joke mate and more aimed at peter but if i offended you then i apologise.

[the squiggle]

Base fuel pressure is also a factor

You can run 1000hp on 550cc if the fuel pressure was say 100bar

fair point mate, over reaction on my part, with you quoting me then making the comment i took it as meant at me, although clean handed tuner is probs about the right description

my apologies for the overreaction......

But would the said injector cope with 100bar feul pressure?

Don't worry about it Scot....i'm the number 1 keyboard tuner that knows more than most on here by actually learning from the mistakes that modding brings you.

water under the bridge scott,i think we've all been guilty of making costly mistakes of some description in the past.looks like both of you have allocated the engine work to the right people now though.have yet to hear a bad word of either chy or alan.
