I hate seeing threads like this. Our STi6s engine let go recently and I just stuck it in the garage whilst I tried to make up my mind what to do with it. I dont wnat to know how many goodies are out there nor what can be done. Fingers in ears, *na na na naaaaa*.

Awesome build, very impressive, got my mind going now on the 'maybe we could just do XYZ route', I hate you for that! Im sooooooooooooo trying to stay right at the top of the very steep slippery slope with my Impreza!

 

1. 650 ish? not sure till its done - run 600 last year on GT35 now GT40 with 8 injectors + nos.
2. camera is in the rear bumper looking back, in front screen looking forward and the third one is aiming at the controls so I can analise my driving.

Put it this way - if you spend all your time and resources on your car - the wife will leave you - a win win situation .

 

unless you wimp out like me and sell the car

 

that looks a bit plain






























im thinking your gonna have lots and lots of fun scalping all the people who intend on taking advantage of a standard unmodded scooby lol

 

1. Come on Sy, stop sand bagging. We've seen the spec and a 50 bhp increase would be a kick in the ***** for the time/effort/cash invested in this puppy.
2. These videos will have to be posted on redtube not youtube as, like the rest of the car, they will be utter ****.

Good luck with the mapping.

 

Cheers for that, never knew that site! Phnarr phnarr.

 

yeah but i bet it's going to have a fair bit more torque due to the extra bit of displacement.

 

Extra displacement? It has a smaller displacement now doesn't it?

 

thats what i was thinking, from a 2.5 to a 2.33 is less aint it?

 

doh, got i it wrong way round

 

Its tuned for Economy and Low Emmisions - you should care about the enviroment.

 

Don't underestimate how difficult it is to make genuine big power. 650hp is no joke, especially on pump fuel or pump+additive. Nos certainly works, but needs care. No need to fret though, I think Sy has everything under control!

 

I have to admit i'm in awe mate.
I'm quite new on here and haven't heard of you.
I had a look at your "view my scooby" and pissed my self laughing at your specs, thought you were missing a screw.
It turns out you are missing a screw but for all the right reasons!!

Good luck with the project mate.

 

 

Less physical displacement but more dynamic displacement [Air Pumping Capacity] - so matt is correct


Anyway its 2.38 Vs 2.45

 

Sy what heat proof hose is that on the oil cooler lines...very close to your headers too

 

Its goodridge - normally £20/m from Demon - but Goodridge were selling surplus stock on ebay recently for £6/m.

Headers are going to be coated next week once the bungs are fitted for the EGTs.

Sy

 

I think I'm about to run into the same problem with some SYMS equal length headers and my oil cooler is already plumbed in so its going to be a pita.

 

Are the connections on your sandwich plate vertical or horizontal? Might be more of a PITA if they're horizontal?

 

Alan, as usual I've made it hard for myself; one is horizontal and the other vertical

 

Got the same problem with the outlets on the misses

 

I thought it was just the way she walked...

 

Love it

 

Wot No Bright Switch?

 

 

Beutiful, I remember seeing this on nasioc. That uppipe is very nice! I want that ap throwout bearing kit!

 

bttt

 

Sy...i can't belive i have just read this thread...awesome is the only word.

Is it on the road now?

 

Updates perlease
