Scoobybeast.

So the HKS EVC will give 1 bar - .1 bar more than std?

What were your inlet temps at full boost to enable you to say the stock IC can't cope?

And how much boost are you running now?

I was aiming for gentle stimulation rather than provocation.

If I was being provocative, I would say something like,

"What a load of 8ollox"

or something

OK
Lets get things straight Craig and Evil.FIRST of all Craig with all due respect it looks like you are very annoyed by the fact that you sold your scooby in pieces. What do you drive now craig?Yes mine is 341 bhp and ive got 321lb/torque without my NOS running.When i hit the magic button i get 377.9bhp to be exact,ok???????? 2) I got a TYPE R gearbox and diff which gives me faster accelaration than your STI V.You had a 4.1 diff ratio I got a 4.4. 2) BOOST IS NOT EVERYTHING you should know that MR CRaig. So all 700cc bikes have 7.5?????????? Where did you get that from? Do you know there are 600cc's racing bikes? they 've got 0-60 in 4.5 secs? AND WHAT about a FERRARI MODENA has 0-60 in 3.9.OR MAYBE 7.5? or what about the F-355 which i 've beaten? Oh yeah I forgot its too slow thats why i didnt mention it or what about that EVO 6? Oh yeah thats too slow or what about that 993 Biturbo which ive beaten? Oh yeah thats 0-60 in 10 seconds.

3) The advice which i've given to my friend Simon was very right.BOOST IS NOT EVERYTHING to start with.My advice was for his car NOT FOR MY car,perhaps you should read what he is got,exhaust,filter and removed CAT which is the start.AND EVIL perhaps you should first find out what is the HKS EVC PRO PRO PRO PRO.ITs the PRO there are 2 models the standard EVC and the PRO the PRO IS MAPPABLE.CALL TDI and ask because they ve done my car ASK WHAT IS THE PRO I know very well what im talking about.

4)I VE GOT AN F-CON FOR FUELLING AND IGNITION TIMING OH I FORGOT YOU WOULDN'T KNOW WHAT IS AN F-CON WOULD YOU? Anyway if you want prove for how fast is my car.ASK SCOOBY ROO,where i've beaten a SKYLINE in front of the eyes of another 7 scoobs last month's Tolworth cruise.

5) My next step is 410 bhp by having 1.8 boost by rebuilding my engine one more time.Last time was 5 months ago but because i've got no limits i'll rebuild it again by replacing my already uprated Con-Rods to racing ones.Then they will be able to take 1.8.Here is the list of what i've got Evil and Craig:

HKS EVC PRO(For those who know what is Pro)
F-CON
Forged Cossie Pistons
Lightened uprated Crank
uprated Rods
Uprated head gasket
HKS exhaust with CROSSPIPE(manifold)
turbocharger out of an STI 6 with modified bigger compressor.
NOS(40bhp at the moment)
HKS front mounted Intercooler
TYPE R Gearbox with diff
Ceramic clutch
Lightened Flywheel
Oil cooler
gearbox oil cooler
Current boost is 1.3 up to 1.4

This is how fast i'm Does that solve your problems?

-Guys regarding the boost reliability.High boost such as 1.3 I dont want to misunderstood again.When i say high boost 1.3 i mean for STANDARD CARS.In long terms it can cause problems,but off course is always depending pn the model,an STI V-VI will be able to take 1.1 with the standard intercooler with no problems at all.Best thing is if you want to modify your car properly wait and save money until you get can afford the following: Front Intercooler,F-CON(highly recommended) much better than other crappy kits, EVC all in one go.After off course mind your gearbox.I've broken 2 already,Standard Wrx's and early STI's have very weak gearbox.They can't take more than 1.1-1.2 max.Anybody wanted advice can email.Anybody who want to listen to Craig that 2 bar is good for your car go and do it.

Then if its ok running 1.3 why my engine was blown? why my gearbox was blown? why so many other scoobys are in TDI's garage right now from stupid boosts? BOOST is not everything to power.

LOL.

Do those chips on your shoulders weigh you down, or just affect your thinking?

I don't remeber saying that 2bar was necessarily good for your engine or reliability - but it can be done.

And WTF are you going on about 0-60 in 4.5 secs on a bike? I said a 600cc Sportsbike will do 0-100 in 7.5 - 0-60 is possibly sub 3.

You've got uprated rods but now you need to get "racing" ones to takee 1.8bar? Wasn't much point uprating them in the first place if you need to do it again really was it?

I've heard of all the HKS stuff yeah -is similar to the APexi gear that I used to run - until I reached it's limitations and went for a fully mappable GEMs ECU. That's FULLY MAPPABLE - but then you've probably never heard of Gems

Wow - that's a really impressive way of saying how fast your car is - you beat a Skylinee on the road - conclusive proof that isn't it? When you've actually had it properly timed, then you can comment. Till then it's irrelevant.

I'm not annoyed at selling my car in bits to be honest - was a little sad but that's life. Will be driving a Golf Diesel very soon - oh, and a dedicated track car - what was your point with that comment? That you've got a Scoob and I haven't? Err, and?

Boost isn't everything but now you're going for 1.8bar. LMAO.

I knew Fast and Furious was gonna have implications

Secret agent if you want email me and i'll tell you but I dont want to talk anymore in this thread because there are some really annoying people in here.Maybe what MBC said about my car bothered Craig - it hurts to STILL own a scooby or it hurts to still own a very fast scooby ?

Craig, Boost is not everything for newbies with standard intercoolers etc etc Boost is everything when every single bhp counts because there are not any other mods you can do,towards the 400 margin.Yeah I know there wasnt point of doing that but when I had my engine rebuilt i didnt have the money to do it as i had to buy the forged pistons as well.Did you say timed? Oh oh my Blitz turbotimer did that 3.62.I know Gems but TDI told me its not as good as F-CON.You know why? because only 3 garages in the UK have the key to map an F-CON Did you know that? No? Ask TDI not me.Or maybe you know more than them.

Scoobybeast,



Yes it still hurts - what hurts even more is the incredibly sad fact that I won't bump into owners like you at meets.

God, I'm so gutted. And so jealous of you

Right, let's rock.

is like a mappable ecu as well as electronic adjustable boost

Hmmm... seems that you are the one who doesn't know what the PRO PRO PRO is ... wonder why you need the F-CON when you already have the PRO PRO PRO LOL

When i say high boost 1.3 i mean for STANDARD CARS.In long terms it can cause problems,but off course is always depending pn the model,an STI V-VI will be able to take 1.1 with the standard intercooler with no problems at all.

You mean an STi will take 1.1 bar ? Golly Someone must tell Subaru quick LOL

You are giving tosh advice, sorry. You don't even relate boost to the type of turbo, you don't seem to know about RPM related boost, you say boost is not everything (like we said that ?), but 1.1 bar of boost ruins your gearbox ? You sir, haven't got a clue.

It's obvious from your list you have more money than brains.

AND DON'T SHOUT

LMAO - this is getting better.

Oh - your Blitz said 3.62 - wow - that must be right.

Like on a 300hp Type R it says it's got 400+ hp.

TDI don't rate the GEMs? Hmmm. They're not biased at all are they?

Fully mappable? yeah F-CON not HKS EVC PRO. F - C O N is not H K S. And if you knew what is a PRO why before you said i dont know what im talking about? I knew you did n't know what is an F-CON IS a fully mappable ECU,

PS Enjoy your diesel

Go read your own "advice" again ... that is not what you said.

You are backtracking now ... at least do it with some dignity, nothing wrong with it.

It seems that I understand your setup better than you do.

Hmmm I didn't say 1.1 bar will ruin the gearbox i said anything more than that will ruin a standard wrx gearbox.Do you know how i know this? Because it happened to me and my mate's scoob.Read before you talk.My money is my problem, i'll spend what i like on my car.The fact that i've beaten a 993 biturbo and so many other cars makes my car vvvvveeeeeeeeery fast. Do i care whats my 0-60? no why? because nobody can beat me what the F*** do i care if i have 3.6 or 3.7 or 3.8 thats details which i dont bother about.All i care is that nobody can beat me - End of story.

EVC PRO I said is good for start... bloody helllll read before you talk.

Scoobybeast.

I think you've either been playing GT3 too much or watching Fast and Furious too often.

I will enjoy the golf - for the reasons I've bought it.

You enjoy your superdooper mobile, with it's fantastic measuring equipment, Nitrux, Neon Lights and whatever great products you've sellotaped to your car to make it "quicker"

Can I just ask one thing - if the F-Con Pro and EVC are sooooo good - is that why all the Motorsport teams use them? Oh. They don't. Why's that then? Because only 3 garages can map it? LOL.

Because only 3 garages have the software key to do it right? Motorsport dont use it because they replace the whole ECU clever which is way more expensive than getting an F-CON or a Gem or whatever.Ah and for the GT3 on Playstation i think you will need to play that from now on.

Whats the cost of F-Con + the EVC Pro?

Whats the cost of an ECU replacement ie Link or GEMS?

Who has to return to TDI if they need the map changed?

Oh and I'm gonna put stripes on my car

Scoobybeast, let's see you at Bedford at the end of March......fancy it? A track where you can show us the limits of your car without endangering lifes of innocent people on the road.

Scoobybeast.

Read this carefully and try and take it in - you seem to have a few problems understanding this.

I don't give a monkeys what you own or how fast it is - believe me I've got more important things in my life.

You obviously seem to think I do though - however, all it makes me think is that you are a Class A *** the way you are carrying on

Up your own 4ss, elitist, snobbish etc would probably apply too.

Talking

SB370,

To my knowledge there are no 700cc modern bikes in existence. There are some 750cc bikes and most of them do 0-60 in about 2.5-3 seconds and 0-100 in about 7secs. Superbikes are faster!!!!! (as are the more common 900-1000cc sports bikes)

Any decent sports bike will blow away a 340bhp car (in a straight line) in a big way so please don't get to excited about how fast your car is..... Also, in the scheme of things, there are plenty of better/faster cars out there so please don't get carried away and think that you've got the ultimate car - just remember that it's still only a Scoob...

And I still don't see how a Boost Controller and Fuel/Ignition Controller combo is ever going to be as good as a fully mappable ECU such as the Gems/Pectel/Link/MoTec...

Please try and form a sense of perspective

Matt

P.S. Craig did 40,000 miles on his 360bhp Scoob running 1.8bar with a standard STi gearbox so if you treat them right, they *can* take it

And I never said i have the ultimate sports car.The Ultimate sports car is a modified 1000bhp skyline ( my next car ).A modified Subaru is good enough to blow away a lot of cars though.
