if your stuck we can custom make a set to specifically match the thread used......can turn around fairly quickly normally

from memory Steve uses M14x1.5mm whereas most others including ourselves standardise on M14x2mm pitch for the block

 

Was gonna ask the other day how this was going.. Glad too see progress and that you are still at it.. Can not wait.. :-)

 

Thanks Alyn i will give you a call if I get stuckSJ.

 

Long time No speak mate yeah I'm still plodding along with the project,but you yourself knows there is always something to get in the way but I will never lose the faithhow's your car going?SJ.

 

Little update Yokohama AD08R tyres and valves balanced and fitted on my wheels,they look perfect and will be definitely be up for the job.SJ.

 

love the R5gtt, always wanted one when I was younger. First car was a R5 1.1 haha

 

Very nice mate some v nice additions there pal

 

Yeah they are great cars it was the first turbocharged car to put me on the force induction road My old car is still about and in one piece which I'm glad aboutSJ.

 

Cheers CraigI'm still at it,slowly but still plodding along.SJ.

 

Looking awesome Adrian and you will love AD08R,they're awesome tyres for day to day driving and awesome on track too

Nice one JuraI did drive the original AD08 tyres and found them to be superb,but I only had a days use when I was baby sitting my mates impreza for him when he went for a naughty weekend to Paris with his wife.so did not really get a good drive but when I spoke to a couple of mates that do track days they recommended these,and like you said they also told me they were great for road and track.I Think the only difference between the AD08 and the AD08R is that the "R"last longer and are a quieter compound.SJ.

 

Few more parts turned up today I'm nearly there now.As I'm going to be fitting a new inlet manifold I thought I would get a new throttle body to finish the look so I ordered a S90 from Malaysia it looks to be a well made bit of kitAnd after talking to my mate who has purchased the new RCM oil filter and said that his oil pressure has increased by the reading on his gauge I thought it would be a simple mod to try,I know the RCM brand is very high quality and can be trusted,so I brought a couple OH yes one more thing turned up today my PERRIN radiator brackets.The next updates should be from my engine in my car and other interior mods,the only thing that I have left to be delivered is my new radiator set up which should be here in a week or so,hopefully if all goes well I should be up and running in a few months I have also asked Paul blamire of ZEN if he can set the SYVECS up on my car as he has been the only Guy to map my car since I brought it in 2004 and he said he will make the journey down as long as I give him enough notice,so everything is going to plan.

S90 THROTTLE BODY.


PERRIN RADIATOR BRACKETS.


RCM OIL FILTER.


More to come soon.SJ.

 

Cool bits mate, I like the older throttle bodies looks a nice bit of kit

 

Yeah thanks mate I thought that I will give the S90 a try I'm not expecting any gains but it does l@@k good and should be easier to keep clean as the original Subaru throttle body don't polish up so wellSJ.

 

Keep it nice and clean and it will look the business. The hawks throttle body is all electrical, boring black plastic box

 

Never knew that about the hawks Gez,this one should be easier to keep shiney though as it's made out of T6 aluminium billetSJ.

 

inspiring to say the least...great work

 

Thanks mateSJ.

 

As always mate some lovely additions I bet the wait is killing you lol will be a amazing car when it's built would be Deffo worth the wait and expense

 

Can't wait to see this finished

 

Thanks for the positive comments Guys,It should be close to getting the engine in as the 14mm head bolts are in stock so just waiting for them to be delivered to Neil's and the engine will be going inSJ.

 

just read this all the way through..very nice indeed.

good to hear about the rcm filter adding pressure as ive just bought one for my next oil change.

 

cheers mate.I have another friend using the RCM filter as well and he said his oil pressure is definitely better compared to the original Subaru oil filter which is still good but the RCM one seems to be better,I cannot make a definitive comment yet as I have not used one yet but both of my friends run oil pressure gauges on there cars and they both said that there is a definite rise in the oil pressure gauge.SJ.

 

your obviously very clued up on subaru`s,im pretty new to these coming from honda`s.maybe you can help me with a little issue i may have.
im going to get my 2006 blob sti mapped and have just bought a decat downpipe from a guy on here,it only has a lambda port where the 2nd cat would be but doesnt have one at the top of the downpipe,most that ive seen for my car have the port at the top aswell..will mine require one or not?
i can get a port tig welded in no problem if it does need one.

cheers mate.

 

No mate you won't need it,usually it's a extra port if you want to run a optional sensor like a air fuel ratio or exhaust gas temp etc...SJ.

 

excellent.

thanks mate..whens the engine going in.?

 

Hopefully in a week or twoSJ.

 

going to be a beast..

also do you think its worth heat wrapping the downpipe.?

 

Yeah it's worth doing especially if the downpipe is already off of the car,use a good quality wrap though like DEI.SJ.

 

Great job on this. Well done, it's a credit to you.
