the former Jura, more for safeties sake than surge...baffled sump should be fine. My low oil pressure buzzer and accumsump could save me lunching an engine and has the added benefit of instant oil pressure when starting

 

a good Diamond Jubilee

 

expensive parcel from think Automotive today...cracking service from matt as usual

 

Looks good Ian,engine looks amazing.




Jura

 

Think Auto is a naughty place .....lost how big the bill got on my bits from there!!

 

Cheers Jura...looking forward to posting long engine pics...

Jag even with a hefty discount it's a wallet basher of a vendor to be sure...still a chunk cheaper than a new motor though

 

If you'd paid extra for Saturday delivery you could have kept yourself occupied over the long weekend.

How much is left to do? Or is the done list shorter?

 

They are well establised and have their customer base. Although on my swirl pot set up this year everything was sent by Alyn (AS Performance) bar couple of bits which came from Zen.

I see you're progressing well...

 

Micky I had a debauched long weekend but did get a couple of bits done...

Jag they have all the kit you could ever need and more the prices reflect the quality of the kit and the service is always excellent. They know their $hit inside out too. Major win for everyone

 

Sorry Micky the lists...**** they are long my friend

I'm doing them in order of pita get it out of the way and getting the interior ready for the dash. I want to get the front bumper on too now I have a new oil cooler but i'm waiting for the fittings

 

Me know....

 

We are bought some bits from Think Automotive and they still give us good prices and usually good discounts too

Looking forward on yours pics of the long engine

Good luck Ian

Diff back from TEG Sport


Interior back from Phil, not going to open it until it's ready to fit as the house is still in mid refurb and I don't want it covered in dust and cat hair


Loom back from Tim with charge temp sensor added, thanks Tim


Accumsump and electric primer kit...hopefully going to be mounted on the bulk head under the front strut brace.


In-line oil filter for blower...


Brand new oil cooler and -10 fittings...I might even be able to get the bumper\lights etc in

 

Front end back on...whoop. I had to move the oil cooler and make a small cut for the cooler hoses but otherwise not too bad.




bumper\wing gaps are good one side...


...but a bit poor on the other, still a final adjust and put the arch liners back so hopefully I'll be able to improve it the

 

Looking good,you may have to compensate the other side a bit to get a even gap from side to side as subaru bumpers aren't the best fit especially when weakened with cutting for FMIC/OIL COOLER etc.

 

Looks good Ian,finally you are closer and closer to the run in.

Looking forward on your feedback on the Accusump,we are thinking too about this


Jura

 

Cheers Ryan, I though about packing it but its all gonna come apart to get painted this winter so I can live with it for now...

Biggest challenge is going to be where to fit it Jura

 

 

Looks good. Where did you find the roof rail delete kit? How much bhp were you running on the original engine before it went pop?

 

Cheers, roof rail delete came from Simon's origional Jolly Green Monster wagon...

Not been on a dyno as it was all live mapped, ***-dyno says around 350\360

 

Might have to give him a shout. What bottom end were you running? surely it wasn't UK turbo? just bought a UK Wagon. Will get some pics up shortly but had bottom knock. I have just got another standard UK bottom end from a McRae series, not fitted it yet but was thinking if I want to up the power am I better off getting a 2.5?

 

It is available as a kit from dealers, best off approaching them...I think there might even be some part numbers somewhere in this thread.

Yes standard v6 UK bottom end. I knew I was on borrowed time with the 18g but I believe the reason it actually went pop was because I swapped the 2.5 to a 3 system and didn't get it remapped, which caused a boost spike.

What are you aiming for, bearing in mind gearbox weakness is a major issue and you will need to consider that and the clutch carefully. Power level is totally down to how deep your pockets are really.

 

Ha, well got my first sprog on the way October... so not too deep this year. I wouldn't want more than 280. It has to be a daily driver as well. Once she is running.

I had a type R sti, and that had about 2 bottom ends fitted before I finally got told he may want a remap.

I guess long as the mods are subtle she should fine. Open to suggestions on what is needed. Funnily enough I know where there is a Type R box and Diff. Might just have to fit that anyway. prefer 40/60 rear split thanks for your help/.

 

There you go bo55
