Bloody Newbies get on here, buy ' authorised ' status and start spouting stuff as if they've been doing it for years. I dunno Shaun, you really are letting things slip.

I wouldn't say Shaun is a newbie, David

 

Durrr.

 

David,




Mark.

 

More lateral thinking required

 

Listen mate, on a Friday afternoon l have trouble just thinking, let alone thinking laterally........

David

 

Now you know you shouldnt think literally, its laterally...

Or Just think Lateral

 

Well, you don't see that these days..... an authorised advertiser advertising another company

 

Nah, I dont think mark would stoop as low as to advetise API, david pays people to do that for him

 

Mr Wallis, is there some problem between you and I that I am unaware of ??
I've noticed a few picky comments about APi from you lately, just wonder what l might or might not have done to you.

David APi

 

Theres only ever been one David, and that wasnt on here And I was using you as an example.

Just spent half an hour reading this thread, been toying with the idea of a 2.5. More intrested in a torquey relible road car than a 8000rpm race car is their no reason you couldnt buy a good second hand 2.5 legacy engine and fit forged pistons an rods ?

oops, that'll be me then
(transmission fitted, engine on the stand ready to drop in)

 

what about the thread it is really informative don't stop posting

I have also questions:
is it no problem that the 2litre CDB is bored and relinered about 5mm in diameter i think that is really much isn't it? a friend of mine said this is too much the block will not stand so much power...

what uprated con-rods are used? are they for ej20 or 25? or are they something special?

I've got a good company which worked on engines over many years and they have bored and relinered much blocks, I think (hope) that it's good quality what I get there!

Can I make that build with normal Impreza Turbo Heads/Cams/Valves? Or would it better getting STi heads (all depends on money)!?
I'm sure that I should change valves! and do a little bit of metal working on the heads!

I wrote to Lateralperformance 2 weeks ago but I didn't get an answer..

@lateralperformance can you send me prices of all what I need, as I read you know what it is! Incl. shipping to Austria if possible!
Greetings
Steve

 

Steve,

Really sorry for the delay. You'll have a reply very shortly.


Mark.

 

as pm'd no problem mark!

 

I have put my 2.35 together and am going to start it up today
Jon

 

And?
How is it?

Graham

 

Yes, I NEED to know this too Jon

 

Runs great it is a very,very, quiet engine this may sound silly but compared to very other subaru engine I have owned (2) and other peoples' this thing is like a sewing machine. put a few miles on today hit 4500 rpm and it spooled up to 1.95 bar !!! yikes.
The GT3040 sounds great can't wait to strap the GT3542 on

Big smiles right now.
All I need is A GOOD TUNE and I am of to the races.
The straight cut PPG gears are LOUD!!!!

Finally the rotated setup in a classic is truly 10lbs of apples in a 5lb bag

Jon

 

Pictures required!
Well done, about 6 of us are green today!!
Graham

 

Nice one I wouldn't be doing the 1.95 bar thing too often before the mapping though

Andy

 

Can't be bothered trawling through all the posts for the answer to this question, but a 2.33/35 with a GT35/42...won't that be a bit laggy, or do you have a high rev limit?

 

The big turbo is for some serious caribbean drag racing the 'little' one is for the drive to work
YouTube - STI on St. Lucian Roads

 

I do have a set of "open wallet, close eyes" race heads on now as well, so rpm limit is not an issue.

Monday I install the r180 axel assembly (plated rear diff) and my driveshaft shop level 5 (1000 HP) rear shafts.

Jon

 

Ah ken wit yer sayin Andy.

Capacity really does have it's benefits.....

I wonder.........

 

Lol.

Out of interest, what is your rev limit?

 

Im told around 9000-9500 is what the valve train and components will support.
Time will tell
I dont think I will need more than 8500, the rest is insurance for when I miss a gear LOL.

Can anyone tell me if you can flat shift a straight cut with syncros PPG set without problems, can you also dog shift (i.e. with out the clutch) on the way up?
Jon
