It goes inline on the pipe from the inlet manifold to the dump vlave mate, i can send you a picture of mind if you want.

Start em when they are young mate!

 

Yeah bud that would be helpful. Thing is that I have removed the recirculating valve so that pipe now that run back to the inlet is now deleted, so won't do any thing..

Yeah you got to start them young, he loves being out with me and getting involved

 

Looking good Tyler.SJ.

 

Cheers sj, how's yours coming along haven't herd much from yours?

 

A bit slow at the mo mate,because I'm just trying to help my wife get her car at least 95% finished then I can concentrate on mine modifying one car is hard enough but two.SJ.

 

Yeah that is understandable, my misses is trying to sell her focus 2.5 st turbo to replace with a hawk Scoob, so I will be modding that one too.. So I will be kind of in your shoes

 

Looks good JEN

 

Thanks Jen....


Right car is now ready for Simon tomorrow morning, he will be putting a basemap on so I can make sure there are no issues. Fingers crossed.





Also managed to get the heater controls to fit properly and also made some custom brackets for the stereo to actually fit, as before it was just wedged in.. Thanks to my neighbor...

 

White wheels that are actually whiteyour cars very clean there Tyler,those wheels must be a nightmare to keep looking nice all the time.SJ.

 

Thanks SJ, it is hard work, the reason why they are clean is because the car doesn't go anywhere.

 

I guess that would workSJ.

 

Well the car is filthy now as have clocked up 100miles with no issues. (Touch wood) thanks to simon absolute legend for coming out to me to do the base map, but I only think it was because of the bacon sarney, I do make a mean sarney.. .. Then drove upto dan at surrey subaru specialist to test and heli coil one exhaust stud, dan and john where great for squeezing me in at short notice.. So all go for Wednesday. Fingers crossed...

 

That's good news mate.SJ.

 

great news matie...safe hands wit Si

 

Cheers guys, yeah I have only let simon map my car.....

To be fair I have to be honest I did have a issue which scared me and confused simon, when I shut the bonnet the engine cut off....

I managed to tighten the throttle cable to tight and the bonnet touches it, as I have a carbon covers which don't have a tying point for the throttle cable... It really was a **** twitching point..

 

Like the project but dont like the wheels . . A nice set would really set the car apart from the crowd IMO and would make it look more like a performace car rather than a car park tart . . .

and yes I dont mean to sound like a **** but I hope you get my jist

 

That's fair play bud, everyone has there own opinion.. I have a big thing for white wheels, it's just me sorry mate. I had them anthracite, gold, but my ideal wheels would be rota grid drifts... But they won't fit without coil overs

 

White wheels look spot on. You going for mapping on Wednesday? Be interesting to see what figures you get with the 321s and how she spools up. Keep us posted and top job on the car mate

 

I know what you mean . . I have 3 sets of wheels, one set of which is currently being refurbed in mazda 11b . . its a constant battle in my mind haha

 

Cheers Bud, yeah going Wednesday for Map, may be a bit of an issue loosing pressure from the exhaust manifold from the sleeved joint. But we will have to wait and see. Either way its nice to have the car back on road, even though i am limited to 4k RPM

What wheels you got bud and what colour is that 11B ?

 

I can only imagine the looks on your faces...glad you figured it out

 

It was not a good look for me, trust me...
Wish i could say i figured it out but it was Simon that did so. So i can not take the credit for that..

 

11b is a bronzey, goldey, gun metal . . hard to describe properly

Got 17" oz superlags in gloss black
18" rota boost in white
18" ultralights in 11b

Also have a silver set of newage 17" wrx wheels in the garage!

 

Well today did start off well but when I got home turned into a disaster. Made good power but turbo decided to give up when I got home.. Gutted!!!!

Sounds like the bearing has gone on the turbo. There is no smoke but it now does this..

Wondering if there is a water or oil blockage to the turbo, have no clue how to find out but this is pretty much how the other turbo gave up too.. Wow I feel depressed..

But for the 1 hour it was working it was lovely..

Here is what it made, not that it counts now



Think it's time to get rid of the Scoob and get something reliable

 

Does sound like a bearing of some variety, is it engine or drive train related? Does it still whine when stationary and revving it?

Nice result too! Chin up mate, it wont be that bad

 

Cheers mate, it does do it a little wine when stationary, you can hear it's coming from the turbo and now car isn't really boosting...

 

Oh, that doesnt sound too good, turbo rebuilds arent that expensive though?!

Is it smoking?

 

Have to buy a complete core which is 1200, as they do no repair them. Bit worried as my td05 18g done the same thing. Surly this can not be coincidence.

 

Seems a bit odd? Have you primed the turbos before you have started it up etc?

Whaattttt? Cant be repaired?!? Just stick an s206 on it, £195 to rebuild it lol. That really is crap, I cant believe it cant be rebuilt!

 

Tell me about it.. What turbo is that? Never herd of it..

If I decide to keep the Scoob was looking at a sc46 or 50 billet, or even a gt30 standard fit. Are the sc's journel bearing?
