It's Back....... :) Zak's done it again!
The Type R is back on the road and the smile has returned 
So here's the additions:
Replaced STI bottom end (Note STI Phil!!!!!) with Closed Deck Block for handling extra power....
Forged Pistons and rods
All matched to my STI Heads.....
Fuel Lab Regulator
Walbro Fuel Pump
All tied together with a new Apexi PFC
Car feels very nice at the moment but taking it easy for now..... running minimal boost at the moment, but should be able to turn it up soon
With a couple more additions like an STI 9 intercooler and bigger injectors I may be able to run up to 2 bar as the block should handle it
Thanks to Zak and all at Mocom
OK, it needs a clean!!!

Need to recover from the rebuild first
Then I'll have a look at the pennies and go from there.... Zak said I should go for the front mount with inverted inlet manifold and some huge U.S. made turbo......
May just get the STI9 one for now as that will be a great improvement over what I currently have and I should get my money back on it as they don't ever seem to drop below around £200.....
I'm also seriously looking at changing my back box..... it's a new H&S Jap style box but it's too loud!!!!
I put a new sound system with boxed sub and can't even hear it unless I'm doing 2 mph......
David....
Can't wait to see yours back on the road.... any special plans?

Fair enough,
But why have a closed deck block, pistons, rods etc blah blah blah if youre not going to use it?
Im now guessing you havent had this built, you have purchased the engine S?H is this state of build???
Lose the sound system mate.. the sound of a ball bearing turbo and a wastegate @ 2 bar is all the music you'll ever need.

Yep brought the bottom end already built... Had it pressure tested by Zak and cleaned up as much as possible.... (it had only supossed to had done less than 10K since it was built with all new internals, built by a reasonable source)
Me and Zak sat down and decided that due to the fact I managed to get the bottom end for a very very reasonable price
it's worth it. BTW, you could be right about the sound system..... it weighs far too much... but i wouldn't hear the Wastegate over the exhaust!!!!

You wont have time to worry about hearing anything with 2 bar on a GT30...
Do it.. you know you want to

Hi Mike....
I'm never going to be a Track day regular.... but I have a trip to the ring soon and I'm going to try and get a few in this year once the car is ready....
To be honest, all I want is to be able to get myself out of trouble when I need it.... Also I told Zak that I went through cars quite quickly (2nd scoob in 6 months!) and what could I do to stop getting bored.... he said big power...
