Looks really really good that Mark.

 

Kyle

Can you tell me how far the orignal studs stick out so I can get the spacers made the same

 

Quick measurement

The stud protrudes from the alloy face 10 or 11mm

The alloy (using same point offsets but these are curved faces so no 100% sure) looks to be 20mm thick at the hub, so 30mm?

Anyone else (with an alloy off their car) measure the standard stud length (BBS alloy guys only please, just in case they are different)

If not I can pop a wheel off at the weekend to check.

 

You can't beat watching parts being developed live!

 

Well, I found out something new tonight. At 65mph, a pigeon fits down the scoop

 

lol oops Simon guess it wanted some derv!!!

 

La flying rat served on a base of intercooler, with a essance of diesel with a hint of burnt feather

 

"Finger lickin good" from a well known deep fried franchise!

Did you keep the bucket to use as an exhaust!!!




hmm maybe I am mixing 2 ads there but get the drift!

"It sounds like chicken tonight"

 

Hi folks, can someone tell me what exactly you get in a ppp kit
thanks

 

wheels, exhaust and a different map I believe

 

No wheels as part of ppp, backbox, second decat and a remapped ecu is what you get, subaru have got a model out at the mo that has got 330s wheels IIRC and ppp.

 

EXHAUST = sports cat / centre section and backbox with Prodrive stamped on pipes (believe system is made by Scorpion Exhausts)


You can buy parts seperate, i got quoted £800 for the exhaust system, i.e. as you have a decent exhaust now you could get the PPP exchange ECU.

 

Thanks guys, im looking forward to picking up the hatch sti on Sunday. traded in a blob sti ppp this will b my scoob no.4 it will b sharing the drive with the mrs wrx hatch , think i will have to join scoobyhollics anonymous soon

 

PPP on the STi hatch was new back box with different tail pipes ( Prodrive labelled? can't remember ), removal of 2nd cat with straight thru pipe, and an enchange ECU with a new Prodrive PPP map.

I got the std bits back exept for the ECU which they wanted £1200 for!!!


( Wonder where the std bits went on the 330S ... )

 

you dont get a sports cat with the ppp kit you only get a backbox a 2nd decat pipe and an ecu upgrade wrx and sti wheels are a promo thats running at the moment the wrx gets the gt1s and the sti gets the lustic silver ones as fitted to the 330s

 

Ready to Come out 1.23hrs to remove it lol


Lift Ahoy she's out


Holly Cow Someones stolen My engine


Inlet Manifold Removed


Inlet Manifold Laid to rest for a while


Timing Belt & Cam Sprockets Removed


Variable valve timing Sprockets laid out for a bit


Thats the progress so far, Hoping it will be back together and running by sunday with the ned forged bottom end in.

 

You can have mine next

 

Then mine.

 

Nice one mate, lovin your efforts and your car

Waiting for my warranty to expire and for it to go bang again before I commit the cash to sorting mine out with some decent forged internals, but if I had the cash I would do what you are doing asap

 

Hi Guy's and Gal's,

We are thinking of running with these tailpipes for our STI 08 Exhaust range, any feed back or recommendations are welcome.....



4" Jap Can's ( COB4 )



4" Jap Tailpipe's ( TP38 )



6" x 4" Oval's ( TP56 )



Quad Exit 3" ( YTP10 )



Quad Exit 3.5" ( YTP9 )



6.5" x 3 " Oval's ( TP26 )


6.5" x 3 " Oval's ( TP26 )

We are thinking the TP26 Should be a looker.... But we will let you decide ?

As your feedback is very important to us, we have a group buy offer on these products ( Please see Group Buys Section )

Many thanks in advance.

Pete

 

I think the last ones actually look ok, will look better when they've sooted up inside too. They sort of fit in better than the rest with the silver surrounds on the car.

 

ditto that!!!

 

I am also liking the TP26's

Any sound clips Pete?

 

Yep here you go....have a listen to these samples -

You can still have mine

Cracking job m8, what you rekon the BHP will be after remap or what you looking for?

 

haha I'd do another without a problem at all

its currently running on its map that andy forrest did, after talking to him it will be ok on that map for now. once my turbo and other bits get fitted 450-500 bhp with over 500ft/lbs torque with anti-lag and other goodies

 

You haver more bottle than me - but then again its no biggy for you to rebuild it if it goes bang !
I'm hoping for 460-70 BHP at 1.7 bar and whatever torque that gives - hoping for longish engine life !

 

Excellent work Rob

Our of curiosity what sort of cost is involved in replacing pistons?

Cheers,
Shaun
