So a few weeks ago the car went on the Dyno and made 316BHP.
The next day I pulled the engine and fitted an Engine tuner built 2.35 stroker lump.
I purchased the engine from an friend/work colleague who had the engine built some years ago to go in his 2003 Impreza STI but he never used it so I purchased it from him.
EJ22 closed deck short block with under piston oil squirters supplied by RCM.
Genuine Subaru 2.5 crankshaft.
Cosworth main and big end bearings.
Cosworth Con rods.
Wossner forged pistons.
Arp block casing bolts.
Cosworth head gaskets.
Cosworth 11mm high tensile head stud kit(unfortunately not 14mm).
Cosworth +1mm Inlet valves.
Cosworth exhaust valves.
Cosworth duel valve springs/ titanium caps.
Cosworth S2 cam shafts.
Ric Wood ported and polished heads.
Cosworth cam belt and belt guide.
RCM baffled sump
Killer B oil baffle windage tray.
GT spec Wrapped headers.
RCM parallel fuel rails
Injector dynamics 1000cc injectors
Sytec fuel pressure regulator.
JT inovations wiring harness (for cam sensor wiring)
The Engine is in and running but has only been ran up to temp to check for leaks and to bleed the cooling system it was then switched off and the mineral running in oil drained and refilled.
I've actually now fallen out of love with this car at the moment and not even looked at it recently, i think it's because of all the money I have spent on it over the last 2 years and it still needs more
.
My next step is to buy the link ECU and have it mapped,I'm going to run it for a while on the standard turbo and top mount (due to funds and a bloody kitchen to pay for) then decide what route to go...so that's where I am with it at the mo

...Between the pair of us this car has had way to much money spent on it!

Little update, Today I decided to remove the inlet manifold and fit some TGV deletes, whilst i was at it I fitted the RCM parallel fuel rails, 1000cc injectors,adjustable FPR,Perrin 4 bar map sensor and an APS hard intake pipe.
Just waiting for some wiring information so I can wire up the JT inovations harness to the Link ECU then it can get set up and running in map installed!
The end is getting nearer!
