I take it this means a custom loom too Si?

 

yes

 

Oooo I wasn't expecting to see those extra cylinders. Was wondering why the intercooler had two extra inlets and outlets, going to be mental when it's done. All the best.

 

This makes me moist

 

I had to delay posting pic of intercooler as on its own it asked more questions than it answered.

Lol @ frayz

It had my brain all a muddle before seeing the engine pics.

 

doh, could really have answered that question myself if I could see photobucket at work, that IC core is a lovely looking bit of kit

 

I seem to have lots of room to run intercooler pipes and mount turbos to make the most of the core.. I actually think it will probably struggle when power gets up there but it should be a neat install and can be uprated further in future.

Saw this and thought you might like to see it.

Theres a few floating about that forum.

 

thanks for that, seen a few over there and in oz but not that one

 

some nice ones too

 

Oh yes indead.

 

 

That cage looks like it will be a nightmare to get into the driving seat? will you have this up and running in time for to stand a chance on team 22b?

 

I only have little legs

side impact is the impreza's weak point imho, and to run fibreglass doors on a 2door I wanted to make sure it was strong for any side impact etc.. I hope to never test it.

I'd be annoyed if it wasn't running in time for scoobyshootout

Simon

 

I hope you don't get seats with the Hans system. Be good to see it run at scoobyshootout. I'll make sure I'm near you so I can watch you get intoyour car

I want to see what dignity he has when he is trying to get in and out of that car

 

Steve,

I have a car with a fairly intrusive bolt in cage at the moment and I am often in and out of cars with full cage (rally cars etc), so I would hope it wouldn't be too much of a problem.
If it is then first port of call will be a quick release steering wheel, then if I am still finding it annoying the bar that crosses from top of A pillar to cross bar will get adapted or removed.
The whole car is being build with no compromise - no heater, plastic windows, fibreglass doors, etc etc.. if I have to go back and put stuff in or take stuff out then so be it. The cage has been built to msa rules from chromoly and no compromise on strength taken, my main concern is side impact or rolling, which I think is covered here lol.

tbh I don't care what I look like getting in and out, if the worst happens I hope I can at least get out, even if it is dragged by the back of my neck rather than trapped in a squashed wreck.

I think anyone running power over 500 and doing track / drag / sprint events is stupid not to have a cage, I hope to be running considerably more than 500 hence I have gone overboard on the cage.

Simon

 

Duncans TA car.. and he has shorter doors / space to get in and a lot longer legs than me

Simon

 

Interesting watching this Simon.

6 cylinders has sooooo much appeal.

 

Hoping it works well, if not most will ne reuseable except the billet cams

 

billet cams...this on is a keeper then

 

Standard cams will only reprofile to sti4 cam profile.
I wanted similar to in my 2.35 at the moment do it was kind of a have to etc.

Simon

 

People have suggested it will be difficult to get in and out so I had a test

Spent couple of hours on it today, mainly admiring the cage to be honest, removed pitch stop


The cage








Simon

 

Cage looks real good, like the short vid just for the doubters

 

inserts on the B pillar are a nice touch.

 

What turbo setup are you planning? Does it have to be a big turbo due to the size of the engine?

 

Going twin turbo although one large one has appeal.

But plan is to run two small turbos to begin with and see how it goes and possibly use larger ones later.
