fai17

Thanks Duncan. Pax lap is on the cards for you

Manifold will be fully equal lenght for the twin scroll so no more burble for me As for rad/fan/intercooler combo....it will be custom

As some of you may or may not know that my car has been off the road for god knows how long but as with any serious modding there are ALWAYS hiccups and mishaps and by god i have had my fair share along with SMA01! One blown engine has need to another blown engine and followed by head gaskets issues and by this time most guys would have given up but not me as i'm mad as a mad chinamen Last year i ran the engine with a GT3040 turbo and recorded a best time of 11.08s on crail and with this round of mods i'm looking to be in the 10s. And to any newbies out there that doesn't know me,Hi i'm Fai17 aka Peter. Plus over the last christmas period i've also been treating myself with some other new mods for my car. Oh my brakes to stop the damn thing! So without further ados may i intoduce to you my new built long engine by Pennine Subaru.He is the one of the best subaru engine builders out there and has helped greatly with my engine spec and build up.The spec list is so long that i don't even have time to list them all up!The engine is a Pennine 2.5 Litre Closed Deck Block with oil squirters and steel internals. Head work has also been complete rebuilt by Chy and he has ported and polished the heads along with oversized Cosworth valves and Kelford cams.Alot of time has been spent of the polishing and porting of the heads and it's very labour/time intensive. Next comes the modded inlet manifold and the 70mm throttle body which Chy has put together.Again time has been spent on this side of the build up. Next comes the really good part.As most of you will know by now that the turbo on a subaru engine is mounted on the back of the engine.This was possibly put there by Subaru because of running a top mount intercooler and to keep the pipe short leading to it.But by going this route and exhaust pipe work has been lenghtened by a given length that i do not know of but it does has its draw backs as the turbo is so far away from the gas expelled by the heads.This can only mean more lag when trying to run a overly sized turbo but may be ok on certain applications.I know of a few cars that runs a rotated set up including myself and are happy with the set up. But on this round of mods i'm looking for more and way more than i was first planning to at the start of all modding things. So be checking out some of the top cars around the country i've noticed the way forward is to run the big turbo at the front the engine like on AndyF and ZEN cars.There are also a hand full of other seriously modded cars runing likes this including both Morbs and Gassasti on 22b. So i've approached both Greersport and Meercat with the idea and they were very happy to see this project through. The turbo itself is a Twin Scroll Garrett T04Z and will be running along with twin 38mm Tial external wastegates. Greersport has fabricated the turbo support bracket and has situated it in the most ideal turbo position. This is as far as the project is currently. :madnoel: Hopefully the car will be going to Meercat very soon to have the headers fabricated and i will post the pics as i get them. Enjoy. So what have i learnt from this? Modding is for life and not just christmas!

Good times Jac and Jim..welldone

It really depends on what you want as an outcome from the remap. I think the prodrive sportcat is a 200 cell cat and not the 100 cell cat the most exhaust people makes. Of course you will gain by going for a full decat 3 inch system! You will have more power and torque. You could go for an Apexi AVCR for better better boost control. On the fuel pump side of things i would be inclined to change the fuel pump purely because of the age of the car and for obvious safety reasons.Its a cheap mod and it looks after your engine. But its money and more money.

I do love WR1 but i personally would alter it too much being a limited model....but you could strap a bigger turbo on it.

Is that for the brembo calipers?

I have no idea what yous are talking about!

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.

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

9Gt are awesome looking cars and can make a easy 400/400 with the standard set up.

Not a problem on helping you Archie... Project is looking good and hope to see you at Doune

Nice photos

Nice photos Neil...

Cal doing a "Fai17"!! i like your wording:P Life would be boring if we all do the same thing...but at least i'm not the one that has spent the most on these forums..you know who you are Back to topic...no need to change back to a 2.5inch system if you have a 3inch already and i know what you mean about not having interchangable exhaust because of the flanges but at least you won't have gasket issues. BTW...modding is for men and not just for christmas!

AS Performance is your man for parts and stuff. I have a biggish order coming up from him soon.

The white Type R runs 550cc injector for 470bhp? I told you Jimser bought the last of the good ones!

The 22b comes with the EJ22T CDB

If you could get the 22B for £14k then i would buy that first but please check the history of it as there seems to be a few doublers!

Well with that in mind it's a bargain price alright.....just go and see it and makes sure its straight. Happy days if its a good one
