530/515 out of mine says I'm right so far

 

Happy Days.
I will be happy if I get near the 450 mark.

 

To be honest that was what I was kind of expecting when I strapped the new turbo on as couldn't find any real info on it as its from the states , so was well chuffed with those numbers and the torque is awesome

 

The 3 inch should refer to the internal diameter.

 

Bought a Torques fpr tonight so that is one less item on a long list of parts needed.

 

next on my list an APS 525 front mount intercooler. I would like brand new but a secondhand one in vgc would be considered.

 

Plans have ground to a halt.
We cant find a 2.5 block for the build.

 

SLAB is selling a 2.5 block.

 

he is selling an engine.

 

Fingers crossed Scott at Scoobyspares has got me sorted.

 

All sorted thanks to Scott at Scoobyspares.
The blocks are on their way to Alyn at ASP.

 

Cool!

 

MOT Passed. Tester wanted to buy the car.
ASP are going to start work on the engine build. Happy Days.

 

 

Set myself a target Rallyday 2016.
Fingers crossed everything works out.

 

Good luck, and expect the unexpected

 

I have already got a bad case of Subaru paranoia.

 

I have to make a decision on what clutch to have.It will need to be able to handle up to 500bhp.

 

It's the torque rating you need to go by.ive got an act clutch rated to 500 ft lb and I run 507/470

 

Yeah and with a 2.5 you need to factor it in....

Why not fetch a crank and make a 2.7?

 

Which ACT clutch ?
What do i have to factor in ?

 

2.5s make more torque than a 2.0 or 2.1, so bare it in mind when picking a clutch

 

Will do.
Do you have a clutch in mind ?

 

I've only ever had stupid power and as mine isn't a road car a lot of the problems never bothered me.

I went exedy twin plate. Without a doubt worth the money and wouldn't be using anything else

 

Hopefully mine will be 450ish torque.

 

The heads are going to be sent up to ASP.
Alyn is going to assemble the heads and block.

 

Heads have finally arrived with Alyn so the build is creeping forward slowly.

 

Ryan found a RCM catch can for me on Facebook.Next on the list is a 3" exhaust.
I finally found a set of OZ wheels so now i have a spare in the boot.If anyone needs a spare give me a shout 18/7.5/et48 they are silver but ok as a spare.The set i bought are anthracite grey so i put them on my car i fancied a change of colour.

 

I sent Alyn an email asking what progress had been made he is estimating mid September engine should be ready to collect.

 

I spoke to Alyn today about an ASP modified sump so thats being added to the build.
