Hi i'm wondering if anyone knows how much a complete bottom end block would cost from Subaru?

I heard someone can get them for 1600? Is this true?

Thanks Brian

Alright Brian hows things? I thought Tam said you had the car back on the road.

Nice write up Arch ! Nice transformation of the rusty suspension components. Looking forward to hearing the results after the visit to Andys.

I have the K SPORT setup from KIP and they are FAN FRIKKIN TASTIC!!

Nice set up emo, not much clearance there

Front mount? An STi TMIC is good for over 400bhp so a FM is overkill for the sort of moderate upgrades that Neil is suggesting. Andy.F suggested my getting one when I got my car mapped on the standard WRX TMIC, so I did. I went back to him for some tweeks and the there was practially no change in power outputs with the STi TMIC. The only reason to uprate your intercooler is for safety reasons, it is a support mod as opposed to a power mod.

Might I also be correct in saying that due to the longer pipe-runs with a FMIC, more lag is introduced.

Not sure what age Neils car is but if it is an early classic then it will have the slanted top mount. Replacing this with the newage intercooler is quite a big job. When i was modding mines i spoke to Andy and he said normally the top mount is the way to go but on the early cars the front mount is the best option. As far as the lag goes well i am more than happy with how mines performs with the front mount.

Welcome back!

Wagon wheels on here used to have one the very same, it gave quite a few people a shock at the last rolling road day.

Nice wagon

Neil the intercooler upgrade is a good thing as part of other mods ( getting a remap ), on its on you wont see too much improvement. I have an intercooler spray set up you could have if you want it. Since i fitted my front mount it isnt used anymore but again i am not sure how much benefit it would actually give you.

I wouldnt buy a jaw warehouse turbo. Do a search over on soobynet , i am sure there have been a few peole who have bought them and when they get the cars mapped they dont make the power expected. i am sure Andy Forrest even posted up to say a few things about them. Some of the turbos make good power and some dont ( poor Quality control).

glad its sorted

getting off the subject of the greatman himself and onto faceless corperations

could prodrive not be one of them they charge for work that can and is done the same for same power outputs by others who are cheaper

so buy buying a dawes device or resistor boost remover chip (superchip)you are ripping of prodrive

so sony or home copy cd or ppp or cheap chip its still classed as ripping someone off and illegal

rant over

evil

All the best with the new beast mate.

You are welcome to come along to any events in the passenger seat of my 555.

Dam i am at work ( nightshift weekend ) What time are on track tomorrow? Might be worth getting up early for .

Sounds mental.

Look forward to seeing it up at knockhill in the future.

Take me out of the equation as i had the picture for part of this year alongside Pedro

The rooms looking good!

Colin that tribute looks great!

id go black with blue lettering!

Thats what i was thinking.

A big thumbs up for Dunc at hypertech

Looks like the 380S has been binned due to government regs requiring more than Prodrive can build before an April 09 deadline

Leaves the 330S as the top level STi .......

Looks like you picked the wrong name then

Welcome to the club

Cal i cant help with the dccd bit but my insurance on the 555 running 300/300 is down to 350 quid. The mileage is limited to 3000 miles.

Looking good mate

I thought the O2 sensor was in the downpipe. What sensor is on the downpipe then?

Is it not the EGT probe, i am sure thats what my cel fix was for when i had the full decat.

I think i am right in saying that you wont have problems replacing the up pipe, its when you decat the down pipe that you get the cel light coming on but there is a fix for that.

Remember when fitting the sti intercooler that to get the full benefit you will also need to replace the scoop undertray and rubber seal that sits round the edges of the intercooler.
