spec "c" sounds better though !! although the Z4m me, dave and Mr R Roy, had a tangle with just absolutely "howled" through the midrange well prob to about 7.5k by the sound of it !! - and the driver was a fruitloop !! hahahhaha

 

Early Z3M's like the above had no traction control

Something like 321BHP/258ftlbs through stupidly wide rear tyres.

 

The old bill and traffic have ruined speed in this country, so might as well go sideways instead

 

Diversify

 

ONLY 7.5k.... thats why the spec C sounded great going to 8 ish.

 

i'm working in chelmsford tomoz stu
swing by if your not busy

 

Yes mate, your car made people's ears bleed granted

but this thing howled like a jet engine i had Robroy and Scoobdc in front of me and i could only hear this thing above theirs and my car !!!

twas insane !

 

Need petrol so I will swing by after my weekly pikey value shop

 

As it's a Classic wouldn't it be a National Trust Grant?

The things people will do to get in the non-Scoob part of the carpark for posers!

Seriously, gutted for you Tom. Hope the rebuild doesn't take too long.

 

My best mate hasd just bought a Z4M... straight six with individual throttle bodies with an 8K redline.

They chuck out 343bhp, get it over 4K rpm and it goes absolutely spastic. You would need some serious serious power to pull away from one with any conviction.

In reality, to actually pull away from any car over 350bhp, you need at least another 100bhp more for the same weight. Factor in the 4wd trans loss from the impreza and the scoob doesnt stand a chance. Even with one RWD they still hit 60mph in less than 5 seconds... thats f'kin properly quick!

 

thanks for all the kind words,advise & help all,putting plans on hold for a while

 

That engine isn`t the same as Tom`s............................................. .................................................. .....It has`nt a hole beside the EJ20

oh just to add yes im gona have a map done strait away Dave 18 months & one engine to late but this time it will be done
thanks all

 

Good luck Tom, if you need a hand give me a shout fella

 

when you need to move it Tom?

 

About time, if you need anything give me a shout.

 

Tom, try and source some PH2 440 injectors too mate. They flow much better and more efficiently !!! You wouldn't be fitting them for more power but for safety, add to that a 255 fuel pump. Fuel and air mate fuel and air...so get a clean intercooler aswell and a proper induction kit or panel assembly. Any help just ask I am only up the road.

As an aside, the limiting factor being your I/C c.280 bhp for arguments sake. I think you would do well to get hold of a sports cat for the DP and run the rest decat. Save you hassle at MOT time and shouldn't make a great deal of difference to the power figures you want to safely sit between.

 

Tom, how are you going to mitigate the huge hole in your lump when rebuilding ?

 

Good stuff apparently

 

If i were you id get a new 2ltr CD block, and go the 2.1 route.

Cheap, revvy and bombproof

 

Whos building the motor for you?

 

Mmmm quality very Woodrough !

Tbh, there's two options...go v.cheap sell fast or invest and keep.

2.1 would be my choice on our STi boxes, revvy little monster and as you say Bomb, or rather Tom proof ...ish

 

Good stuff

You gonna make the tea ..?

 

thinking of going completely standard to be honest as it came out the box
