Thanks for the feedback Kenny - always a pleasure to be working on another modded bugeye! Cheers Alistair

Hi Alastair thanks for the feedback and great to hear you are happy with the car. All the best Alistair

Glad to see she passed emissions in the end Ciarain

Hi Kenny the 321T on a forged 2.5 is a formidable combination but will kill you 5 speeder pretty quickly from the torque (been there done that with a 20g on a 2.5). I'd recommend a 6 speed conversion if you are aiming for anything over 400lbft of torque. Cheers Alistair

Thanks Jac

Hi Steve, Thanks for the feedback and it's a pleasure to work with another wagoneer! Cheers Alistair

Hi Kenny - both have the notoriously fragile EJ257 OEM pistons. Rods seem to be ok to 450 and casing up to the 450 - 500 mark. After that the risk of liners cracking/moving increases without the block being strengthened with inserts around the liners. I'd suggest a 257 short motor with forged pistons for your application for peace of mind. Suggest speaking with Steve at SW Motorport who usually has a set of 257 casing and rods/crank etc kicking about looking for a good home. I'd also suggest getting the chambers in your 2L heads modified to suit the larger 99.5mm bore (generally allows you to run more timing). Steve can do this too and does a first class job. Cheers Alistair

Hi Neil in terms of stand alone ECUs, it's mainly Syvecs/Solaris and Apexi Power FC I work with at the moment. Cheers Alistair

Thanks for the feedback Alan. Ballistic - FFS and LC are available for the 06-08 Sti but switchable boost is not currently via the software I use. Cheers Alistair

Hi Thanks for the feedback John. Spaceman/Grant - Launch Control and Flat Foot Shifting are available on the UK hawkeye STi with the software platform I use but switchable boost is not currently. Cheers Alistair

If it is a straight swap with same model of OEM solenoid then there is no need for a remap. Cheers Alistair

I have a spare one - just south of Edinburgh. Cheers Alistair

Looks like you've been busy Martin! Looking forward to working with another Wagoneer!

It is also possible to permanently disable the corresponding diagnostic trouble code on the ECU when you get the car mapped Cheers Alistair
