Looking good. Where did you get the moulded door cards from?

 

Looking good Simon.

Would have been interesting to see a comparison with your current engine using 321T std position vs rotated, on the same RR of course.

 

yes it is tempting to do that.. rotated exhaust setup is being ceramic coated at the moment.

I just picked up Ej22T block.. just came as a complete engine so I have that to strip before getting block off for machining etc..

Simon

 

I can supply them.. but they are not cheap and reasonable amount of work to fit etc

 

Good stuff Simon.

Shall be watching this closely. Its rare that one of the main tuners/mappers does their own project. make sure you take plenty of pics and do some good write-ups. For the rest of us to benefit/learn

 

you had to go one better with the door cards didnt you after i got mine flocked!! Now i want a set of the carbon/carbon look ones that you have maybe for the wide body then i have both

i love the reaction the colour gets too, i was hours from going Green, would have been a lot easier to spot in the McRae image from Prodrive McRae gathering (i got my print the other day )

Keep up the good work Simon, i'm amazed you have got time. I'm finding it cold working on the car at the moment, but i guess thats dedication.

PS> been there, done that, got royally pi$$ed off with the sound deadening material removal from the floor . Same approach though, Hammer, Chisel and some petrol to wipe off the residue.

Chris

 

oh yes.. lol I think the flock on your cards looks good but they weigh too much.. but I think they are probably nicer to live with.. these are like having no door cards in every way except the look.

I am actually in catch 22 at the minute.. I have some limited evening time.. but the wife and kids complain.. or I can take it to workshop and have full ramps etc and loads of tools to access but only have access then during working day.. when I am out mapping etc.. lol
I suspect the engine work will get done at home on the drive as usual..
I had no choice with the cage as I couldn't transport it to the workshop.. lol

I was going to leave the residue as intending fitting the carpet back in as it is suprizingly light.. but may wipe it off.. nice idea.. other option is carbon floor mats.. but think this will be nice to look at but pain to drive with..

Simon

 

Carbon floor covers hmmm 'Slippery When Wet!'

 

there are some lovely carbon bits from WRC about..

considering carbon rear bulk head or refittng seats

 

Looking good

Interested to see the oucome of the rotated MD on the EJ22t.

Mine is currently in standard position and may be an excuse to spend more money .

 

Simon, love the car. I rotated my md321t about a year ago. I made two jigs to made both the up and down pipes. The downpipe was made to fit around the 6 speed box. If you need any help/ pics or need me to tig some up for you giv me a shout. Ps may be looking at changing my apexi to simtec soon.

 

looks brilliant . love the colour

 

very nice..

I am cheating.. Subaru4You are now supplying rotated up and downpipes for standard flanges.. mine is being ceramic coated at the moment.

Simon

 

proper engine in my evo?

something to strip down over Christmas and extract the block whcih is the only bit I want


Simon

 

Looking good Simon , hard work in your spare time I know

 

wow, a rear engined impreza now that's unique.

great project mate i am watching this space. how much did you part with for the ej22? is it a cdb? if i am not making a mistake some legacys also come with ej22 cdb engines am i right?

 

Yes cdb ej22t.
Lots but a lot of the engine bits it cam with will be useful and hope to sell the low miles 98 heads that cam with etc.
Yes some legacys.
This engine I know the history of and was built from a new ej22t short engine.

 

looks like fun, might go this route on my on md321t too.

how much more do you think you can get out of it rotating it?

 

I am really not sure and if I get time am very tempted to try it on current engine at same boost level etc..

the advantage when I go to the new engine is I can run proper boost.. I just think I will break the 2.5 with more.

Simon

 

I had planned to spend the evening removing the dash and fitting the front section of the cage but the kids were late to bed and didn't go straight to sleep so that shot that idea in the foot as by the time they were asleep I couldn't be bothered to go out in the cold..

So I have just ordered fuel rails (Insulated Billet Aluminium Fuel Rails
Subaru Impreza MY92-00) from Carl Davey, specialist Subaru Impreza parts supply

I have also sorted inlet manifold - more when I get it.. but will allow me to run v6 heads in a v2 car with v2 inlet manifold etc..

both will be painted or powder coated

Simon

 

more parts accumilated.. MY00 bumper and P1 splitter mate just sprayed and dropped off

Simon

 

mine is running on a forged 2.0 on cbd, how much boost do you think it would be able to take?

woud love to feel the kick of 2 bar

 

Good work, Just the uplift i need to get to work on my own green monster, (Mark James old ZEN beast) rebuild. Well done and like i say keep up the good work.

 

Looks good, Simon.

So much better that this POS in the same colour, that I had the misfortune to be stuck behind a while back;



Dash and door cards look cooler than a ****.

 

that shell has changed hands a few times.. would be nice to see it running again

 

lol loving that exhaust

 

Definately mate, got a sweet short motor already built but looking for complete donor car to build with. Yeah lots been took off along the way! lol

 

oooo, they'll be getting a phone call from me in the morning.
They doing them in 2 and 3 bolt fitments ?

 

believe they might be


just noticed all the engine bay pics are old so a current one



Simon

 

Have at least 1 customer interested in rotating his T, and I fancied rotating my T38 after trying it at 2 bar and sending it back for a BB upgrade.
