Will sort some pics out for a project thread, before and after wise . .I was running std 2.0 v6 STi lump with VF28 should be around 280bhp/260ftlb . .dropped in a 2.1 with v6 sti heads and SC46 with the Grimmspeed TMIC 1st mapping session after 1k mile run in was getting 384hp/330ftlb . . .will be getting mapped again when I hit 3k miles

Very nice result ,

so in theory it should be a nice snug fit in my 53 plate Blob eye ?

TS setup aside, is it a 2.1 Banny? Std v.5/6 heads...or AVCS from a New Age?

(Apologies; I know you've posted the spec elsewhere. )

Ah yes.

So you still have the 2.5s relatively thin(ner) cylinder walls, then. No troubles?

Block is pinned, heads have been wire ringed and its running 14mm studs. Engine has previously ran 642bhp so I'm only tickling it

I know your car and it's beautiful, i like your setup also videos


If anyone look for 400hp, twinscroll, avcs and good turbo will be the key for fat powerband

I think jdm v10 spec c dual avcs heads and efr must be test
