I shall finish my post , I hate my laptop. Always sending posts when they are not finished!
So Iain is booking the car with Mr Bob Rawle. And I will also go down the meth route . Jenny chem is down the road from me.

 

That's right but I didn't want to say that on public forum, I did also pm ILYA that he was away

Tony

 

if he was away why did his office say he is gonna call me back in 20?

 

Hope you get it all sorted Ilya
Fill us in on the dyno results & road test of the new turbo when finished

 

Am still waiting on turbo dynamics to pull their finger out.

 

Don't hold your breath...their estimates are usually out by a factor of f*ckin' loads

I've usually ended up waiting 2-3 months longer than TD originally estimated with anything to do with my LM

 

+1 but one of our arrived Friday but not sure who's

 

Yours isn't drive by wire how come your waiting Ian said he had a few of those in stock.

 

I know how you must of felt it has been 6 weeks now and it's always next .....next week not much I can do if there dragging their asses. Ive been looking at what the Japanese use 400/400 twinscroll system. The ozees use an APS twinscroll system for similar results any1 got any experience?

 

A number of these were on backorder (non DBW as well as DBW).... I can only assume the first batch went as soon as available (non DBW). The initial batches of the original LM's were like this.... they just sold straight away. DBW is a small market in comparison to the non DBW unfortunately, so hence the wait on the housings I suspect, as "you" may concentrate on the biggest market for initial runs.

Mine was one from the first batch and that was nearly two months ago iirc.

Saying all of this.... yours might of been the one that turned up on Friday!

 

You don't need to explain Shaun Ians tried to get them,but his suppliers are foooooookin about.

 

Mine was a LM400 with std compressor sent away for upgrading to a LM400 billet compressor

Tony

 

what is the difference between the turbos for DBW and nonDBW cars?

 

Some sort of compressor cover.

 

Yep... DBW fouls the compressor cover, so it needs to be altered for DBW cars.

 

I saw Iain Today he was VERY tired from his visit to East.

I had a offer for my Car but he cannot insure it with the LM400 so I've re-fitted my old 350bhp VF turbo

Looks like I have a LM400 for sale done under 1,000 miles with fitting kit, upgraded bronze bearing, 2 brand new compressors wheels fitted last week by turbo dynamics and un-used (one is the new Billet) Ł1300ono

PM me

Tony

 

 

Yep wasted a few bucks but hay hoe



Test driving a slow old UK Saloon this week at Crossroads

Tony

 

How can you go from JDM to a UK car........

 

It depends what he is going to do with it and what it ends up being!

 

Even if you were to leave it standard surely you'd want a JDM. The power delivery smooth engine nice and quite.

 

I just want a slow old banger to pootle around in

I'm after something else to make me feel young trouble is it will need 1000bhp per tonne to make me feel like a 40 year old at the moment

Tony

 

guessing your taking a purple saloon out?

 

Is that the Dark mica blue then it's a toss up for that or the Red for a change

Tony

 

When Tony says a "slow old Saloon" he actually means a brand new UK Saloon!

Best of luck with the 2.5 engine mate!

 

Firstly let me apologies if anyone has struggled to get hold of me recently, I have made a couple of trips to Asia with limited Internet access which has caused emails to backup. I try to reply to every enquiry and call but clearly some are being missed. Our other staff try to help where ever possible but ultimately the buck stops with me. We have been working hard with Subarus for many years and the vast majority of our customers are very happy with the service we provide but I know we can and will improve.

We have total commitment to all things Subaru as our recent development of the Billet versions of the LM Turbo, sponsorship of Scoobynet and media coverage on the new Spec C demostrates. We do however have an increasing workload with other makes and models like the Nissan GTR which has recently seen us travelling abroad. Our Workshop is extremely busy so at present it makes fitting in extra emergency jobs difficult. This current busy period is also compounded by the arrival of our Son recently which has meant Jenny’s time in the office has been limited.

It is of cause good to be busy but we are aware that this can impact on some customers so we have invested in another pair of new ramps and will have new staff members joining soon. We are also not taking on any new large engine work until we have a number of exchange engines on the shelf as this can often lead to backlogs as we wait on suppliers (a problem throughout the industry). We will have a range of 2.0 and 2.5 engines on the shelf in the coming weeks which will allow us to turn around jobs in a matter of days rather than weeks. Just in time for when you break your 2.5 Saloon Tony

Regards
Iain

 

ROFLOL - Let's be honest, that won't take long as some of us are aware of Tony's heroics and I doubt the OE 2.5 lump will like that too much!

When are booked in for the full engine build then Tony? Next week?!

 

Yesterday You did look a bit surprised when you came back to find me holding the baby litterally

New access plans look good

FPMSL

It still goes like a rocket, normal trip home shame about those new traffic I normally get 6th and airbourne there

Tony

 

The cost of doing a cossy first will be the same as if i knock the high spots first

Tony

 

Hello,

I need your help about the following LM fitting questions. I'm fitting an LM450S with his dedicate fitting kit.

The water pipe supplied with LM turbo from a side touch the turbo and to other side the oil pipe. The stock water pipe (of my RA) is total different and it doesnt touch the turbo or oil pipe. Is it normal or i have to modify the oil pipe that comes with litchfield turbo kit? See the following pic.



The other question is the correct position where join the turbo oil pipe to engine. The oil pipe supplied with the kit is very long. It have to be connected to stock connector of engine (like the following pic)? so in this case i have to cut the garrett oil pipe. Or i have to connect the oil pipe to other position of engine?




Every comment will be apprenciated.
