Look Sweet what size are those front number plate?

 

Thanks man!

Cheers,
Matt.

 

Ha, either that or stupid! Lol.

I think I may fit them and keep them gold for a while. Means I call pull my 17" STI alloys off and practice on them

Matt.

 

Update

I fitted the IHI VF43 turbo today.

Took me around 4/5 hours to complete though I did have some help!

VF43 vs TD04




And a quick idle video:

C&C welcome as always!

Matt.

 

Very nice now get the speedo and *** on bro waiting for pics and all the best for the map

 

So I got the injectors fitted today after work, what a pain in the ***. Took me about 3 hours, dam bolts behind brackets don't make things easy!! Hopefully mapping tomorrow

Quick video of the lovely idle sound lol

 

I do miss that sound bro ultimate flat four rumble, good luck with the mapping

 

The amazing flat four is music to my ears lol!

Yes, will update once all properly mapped

 

Ok so @bludgod done a quick bit of mapping last night to get me up and running. All I can say is Wow.. The power from the turbo is awesome. It pulls like a train the whole way through the rev range.. Couldn't be happier!

Still more mapping to be done before I can quote any figures :P

Also,


Thought I would post a picture of the gearknob and speedo fitted.














I have also got a few more updates to come


Matt.

 

Sick guy I've got one aswell in blue enthusiasm at its best

 

Ha, love your little collection!!

 

 

Where did you get the radiator? its the same as the one I have. I got it new from murray motorsport. They seem a good job.

 

I got it from Davey too. It was a used one but cleaned up ok!

 

lookin' well mr, now get those intercooler fins straightened

 

I actually started to straighten the fins the other day but its mind numbingly boring!

 

Pretty expensive update:

My 5speed gearbox wasn't having a good time and didn't seem to like the new turbo so it began making strange noises, still selected gears fine, just sounded horrible. My thinking is the 5speed probably won't hold up much longer so thought it was time to get it sorted.

SO, I went ahead and Purchased an 6 speed STI gearbox from @mattyBR5

I have also bought a good few more items. Will upload photos as and when they arrive

Matt.

 

You do know you need the rear diff and half shafts to match? Its something ive wanted to do but my box is holding up well.

 

Does match.

Though what I've bought is 6 speed box, selector, shafts and front shafts as mine are currently male and the box is female

 

Surely the rear diff doesnt match?

 

As long as it is a 3.54 diff it will. Ul spec wrx has 3.54

 

As Glanza said, 3.54 ratio.

 

Got my 6speed gearbox fitted yesterday. Thanks again to @MattyBR5 for supplying it.

Gearbox is great. Cars fantastic to drive now, back to silky smooth gear changes




C&C welcome as always.

Matt.

 

What all did you have to change? If its only the box id consider it.

 

New **** aswell

 

I got: Gearbox/Selector, prop shaft and front shafts Stu

 

6 speed box = an excuse for more poooowwwwaaaahhhhhh!!

 

Looking forward to getting some more mapping done @Bludgod

 

I can only imagine how much bubble wrap matty used on a gearbox considering I got a football sized MAF sensor off him a while back must have been a full pallet with enough bubble wrap to move house 4 times LOL

 

Ha, he packaged it well for me! And you can never have too much bubble wrap!
