After that rarther fun time driving through the tunnels it has got me thinking about "Anti-Lag"....Someone correct me if I am wrong,when I booted it through the tunnels it would of made the car send flames out of the back? I had an ECU and mapped by Duncan last week and I am booked in for the 19th to tweek it,so if this along with launch controll is out by then I was thinking of having it....Is there a button to flick to get it to go in to Anti lag ?...Be bloody daft if it came out with the plodd behind ! Even better with my windows ! Naughty me lol

 

True, Mine is 360/340 Hopefully better after tomorrow) Kostas is 360-370/360 on 20% Meths, why spend shed loads of money to get that extra bit, Kosta's produces that power with very little money spent.

only reason i ask.

Hows you bud, save me 5 mugs, i'll be about this week, go loads going on with family, peed i missed the tunnels, car wouldnt have been ready anyway.

 

Don't hung up on figures mate, as I said the vf35 is a 350bhp turbo, add meths and you will get a little more but don't get me started on that subject lol

Rollers imho is pub talk

 

Yes mate, easy to cheat the figure , this is my point im trying to make to Tom, is he really bothered to get 400, as we know 300 is fine for the Rd.

 

how come u put the spec c on rollers then h an rcm

 

Sorry bud just read the above (I'm on my phone) wasn't trying to be cocky, all I'm saying is people get hung up on figures and different dyno will tell you different things (and raise ego's) the vf35 is a 350bhp turbo, fact, I know, been there done it (via litchfields) power to weight is where its at re cups no worries man, coffee has been on boil for to long!

 

£30 in the charity bucket, why didn't you

 

im happy about my car as it is for now that isnt near 400 but in a classic i surpose. have the decals come off yet mark do it do it

 

I say 400bhp as it's a nice figure but if it's less I'm not going to complain as long as it pulls hard and there isn't loads of lag, I love the way Andys car pulls but would like to get on boost sooner! I'm thinking of going with the md321h turbo as it's 400bhp capable and boosts nice and early. The car is a daily driver and it would be nice to not break my legs whilst sat in traffic and trying to work the clutch lol

 

Hehehehehe In that case I'd say yes, but would reccomend a rebuild first

 

Tom I realy think you should go in Kosta's car before you send, tbf though messing with Meths is a pain, glad mines not a daily.

 

Yep Gone, Looks odd a bit, i watched Pez take it down the rd still looks interesting, thinking of total Matt Black wrap with the gloss Spidey back on, stealthy.

No i know you wernt bud, see what tomorrow afternoon brings, i'll give you a bell when im free.

 

hehe... i cant wait. sometime this week for me.

 

Meths is cheating imho

 

And can't be good long term.....

 

Meths is indeed a pain, but as you say if it's not a daily, why the hell not. It just takes a tiny bit of forward thinking. Yes to many it is "cheating" or whatever, but hey it makes my car faster which is what I was after without spending much.

VF35 isn't even really a 350bhp turbo I'd say, they're pretty poo, more often around the 330-340bhp if that most the time, seen a few make 350 and above, rare though.

Tom, the MD321H is old tech now, get yourself one of the ScoobyClinic Billets, they are kicking ***! They always do the job! I saw a 420bhp newage on the dyno at Powerstation which came on boost quicker than mine, and made more power all over the rev range. It had an SC42 Billet..

Clutch wise.. I've run an Exedy organic for over 3 years, it takes a lot of abuse, but I would probably go for something a bit better for the higher power. Just burn yours out first lol.

Internals wise I wouldn't say you need to go forged until a good bit after 400bhp on the newage STi engine. JGM was running 500+ for 20k on his standard 03 STi block and it just wouldn't die lol, he just ended up swapping it because it wouldn't break. Plenty plenty plenty of people running well above 400s in standard block, the key is just maintaining it, services etc - ensuring all up to temp before booting. Strong engines when looked after.

My list for 400ish would be something like this:

650cc injectors
FPR
Front mount
SC42/6 billet turbo
Remap or better still an aftermarket ECU

PS there is no such thing as cheating when it comes to getting more power out of your car - who are you cheating against exactly? Unless we're in competition with each other? Which we're not !

 

whats with all this 350 400 500bhp im happy with 240 in my wagon/i only paid 400quid for her and love it/more power means more money and fragile engine.but what ever takes ya fancy all what counts is having fun and making money for charity with wmi

 

 

Are plastic boob jobs not cheating . yep

No competition here my brother, I've been around the block far to many times for that, and owned many imprezas (including uk blobs) with various power outputs maybe I'm far to 'old school' but I will stand by my word, meths is not a true reflection of what a car can 'actually' do, sorry if it upsets you buts its my opinion

 

V-power FTW! Lol

 

 

My point exactly lol

 

Doesnt upset me bud, always thought you'd been round the block .

 

i handle her nickers and bra everyday

 

Hehehehehhehe cheeky sod x

 

Anyone know someone who would break a car for a fee?

 

Lol! I was typing a reply about the *****, but it was errrr... inappropriate lmao.

You know what I mean about competition, I don't think anyone here has any mentality close to wanting to "win" at having the fastest car in the club etc. We've had that discussion the more money you have the faster your car. But as we've always said, there's always something out there that is faster than you, and afterall what does being the fastest give you? Nothing! Far too many have stupid fast cars yet don't enjoy them (evident by how quick they sell them after they've finished building it.)

Meth is always something we'll debate over lol but it's not something I would get upset about I use it because it gives me more power, for lower fuel costs For similar performance to what I have now I would have to have spent over £1.5k in additional mods.. so that's where I am coming from with my positive view for it. It's not for everyone, but it is definitely for me

 

good night all early start in morning thanks for all the good banter/ps i be in my 420bhp tomorrow

 

i will break it for you pm me

 

You beat me to it, thought you were
