arch some good questions there, sorry im not able answer them all, the pics ive shown are not the complete feul set up, ive a prolab fpr, and 1000cc injectors im sure however the engine builder is providing me with a reputable 550 plud bhp set up my faith is with this person/company im not over questioning the set up, but more showing it off - already a few comments regarding bits and peices of the build. which is good for me, interesting and provides more basics for understanding these engines at these power levels. so by all means keep the comments coming = but im not able to answer them all, im hoping the "proved setup" does the talking on track and strip - we live and learn, lol i appreciate all feedback, and would never dismiss any thanks

cheers mate with the money spent im hoping for same results as you lol but theres always a weak link lol just hope ive covered everything should see me at some events late this year and next, all going well (expect some sh*t. inexperienced driving, with hopefully a few flukes along the way haha) thanks

next new bits, un assembled parallel fuel line kit and 1000hp twin plate clutch and flywheel assembly

yeah mate for sale on SN £450 the price interested? btw i would just also like to confirm i do actually touch goats also - its fun haha!

some more bits

i cant honestly comment on questions above just what im told, whats difference with v band w/g or not? i wont be installing the w/g so maybe thats why thats the one theve chosen?, the engine will be assembled before fitting to the car more comments welcome cheers

just got some lovley pictures hehe

were destined to never communicate! its a conspiracy!!!

fai 17, you cannot receive pm's i dont know why but it wont let me send any to you, sorry bud

would be quite surprised if a fully trimmed uk with my spec with a good driver could hit a ten in that, more likley a low 11 i think but never know. fai 17 pm me mate - i tried to pm you and something wasnt right? cheers

mine are still the best pick of the bunch! fact! (maybe) lol

fully expect to be 13-14 on my first day up there, with hopefully improvents as i clock up some runs would ultimatley love a ten second car - that would be me truly happy and satisfied, my lifes goal met and settle at that or far more likley, hit a ten if its in me or the car, then decide - "its only another second to knock off" lol wheres my builder lol

ok guys anyone care to guess what the best 1/4 mile time would be on this set up? eliminate driver error and ultr slow reactions, and what roughly the best it could go fully trimmed btw. i am btw a very inexperienced track/and 1/4 mile driver so wont be hitting the cars best, but itd be nice to see how far i am from the cars true potential. got a feeling next year it could be going on a diet lol

not a great pic, but i think those style of wheel in white, really suit the classic scoobies and hopefully what ill end up with

I touch goats mate

i in next month or so will have revolution milleniums in gold (ill double check in a minute thats the right name) "17" and cleared ap 6pot calipers and 335mm discs less than 6 months old on falken tyres - same age, not a lot of milage. these wheels (thats not the car, just a picture of same wheels) think you would be interested?

great link there mate thanks!! ill just go with my builders/mappers advice i think 1k mineral 10w40, drop oil an filter, 2k on semi-synthetic 10w40 then fully synth from then on, i bought this, 10w40, for normal raod use, and 10w50 fully synthtic for tarck use .

cheer mate no the build was started and set around my requested target of 550bhp mate 600bhp was never mentioned by me or my mapper, altho ive seen a few mentions above. just to clarify that, any info on running that engine in?

spoke to builder tody, sid with a good mapper and with the smaller exhast housing wont be overly laggy atall. his words were we buid these engines day in day out and with a very good mapper, can be made to have minimal lag - not totally elimiate it obviously but shouldnt be an issue on this specced engine. so im happy with that tbh, so i have a recommended running in procedure - anyone reply how they would run it in, including oil types, milage ect. not trying to catch people out, but just gathering information and differing opinions - to help give the widest overall veiwpoint. from there i can use the information. appreciate anyones input cheers

cairanrb5 is that right revs wise? didnt think would be that late. obv ill be maintaining the engine in the best way, with oil changes ect. what would you think would be a safe-max rev limit on that spec? dont like the idea of taking it over 6.5 - 7k rpm tbh wont be driving it like that all the time but obv going to be driven fairly hard now and then on road, and hard on the occasioanl 1/4 mile, RR sessions, possibly a few track days per year. my builder has definatley advised that turbo with the given spec

good stuff, apart from the maf lol drive home always fun

think the turbos got a .63 housing which is small enough to help keep lag to a minimum? but open to suggestions? good to here some differing opinions , thanks yeah twin plate clutch is sorted. already got the RCM gt spec 2 headers and up-pipe, full exhaust heat wrapped anyone running same turbo as me, on a 2.1 and hows lag - if similar set up? cheers

thanks, yeah im aiming mid 500s im hoping for just a factory 6 speed box, i think its a uk box. cant wait to get it back lol. hope the rest of it holds together, for a while at least

got this build going on in a uk tutbo shell what would people expect this to make, power wise or any other relevant info. as follows, and due to be finished build early to mid september, but still to run in and final mapping by legend Mr F, Subaru EJ 21 Turbo steel / forged build Closed deck block STi Crankshaft Nitrided type APi custom steel conrods Cosworth stroker APi custom forged pistons Cosworth stroker NPR piston rings ACL race bearings 2 sets required Gasket seal kit Cosworth sump baffle APi uprated oil pump APi custom Nimonic valve set [ 16 ] APi custom titanium valve retainers APi custom dual valve springs Kevlar timing belt APi custom head stud set 11mm parallel Cam pulleys and belt idler set Modified oil pan with return system for catch can Cam belt covers - inner and outer Bosch 7 bar competition in tank fuel pump Twisted turbo exhaust pipes set Tial wastegate Air bleed valves for wastegate control included 3 bar Map sensor Garrett GT35 or similar billet twisted turbo .63 housing APi / Mocal oil cooler kit fitted APi custom return-to-sump catch can kit APi JIC type parallel fuel rail kit Inlet spacers to suit Vers 5 heads Oil Coolant Spark plugs Rotated inlet complete Vers 5 inlet manifold Injectors 1000cc 550 hp clutch Comp clutch twin paddle set up Blue samco radiator hoses Samco inlet for turbo. so anyone care to hazard a guess? i know the figure i want and itll be on a simtek and v-power only cheers

someone please let me know when any relevant events at crail, from mid september onwards would love to catch a few before the years out thanks
