Hi all, hope this is the right place.

After some advice. For a while ive been wanting to get hold of a blob eye as a project car, buying it, SORNing and throwing everything on in 1 go. A road going missle if you will. i was wondering if you guys could give me a shopping list of sorts of what I'd need to hit the big 400bhp mark. Or is it a case that it's just not feasible? I'd love to do it to a hawkeye but don't think my budget would stretch to one of those and a whole heap of mods lol

Any help would be appreciated. Any members done this already and have a build thread?

Cheers

 

Have a read about my car in projects, I have spent thousands so far.

 

got a spare 20k? By the time you bought the car and moded it to 400 your gonna be at that sort of price unless you can find one already done.

 

20k I wish��

 

widetrack JDM £12k
SC42 £2k
Injectors £500
Fuel pump £200
FPR £200
Decat £700
Inlet pipe £300
Front mount £1000
Induction kit £250
Syvecs £2500

= £19650

Rough prices cos you typicly get a bulk discount

 

I meant I wish that was all I have spent

 

Just a thought but would you not save money buying a STI surely cheaper to get a STI to 400??

 

you and me both hahaha

 

widetrack JDM is an sti

 

What bhp can you safely get out the stock blob eye sti engine?

 

On the first post he said blobeye i just presumed he meant a blob wrx

 

says blob, but not wrx. If you start with a wrx to get to 400 your into engine build territory and price will go waaay up

 

Sorry!!

 

Don't forget brakes and suspension

 

My car owes me 6.5k in total including bits I've sold to recoup money, and runs approx 400ish bhp. All parts have been bought second hand

Cool. Will check the build threads out. Don't mind spending on mods i csn bolt on but don't want to faff with engine swaps or forging so if i have to below 400 on a standard engine so be it

Oh and yea, i meant an sti

 

I know a lad round my way who run 450bhp blob sti, standard engine running md321t turbo, bigger injectors, front mount, 3" exhaust & remap, and it's been like it for couple years now. Apart from the map it's all bolt on stuff

 

Im running 455 @1.7 bar
With Owens ts turbo , rcm headers miltek down pipe full 3 inch invidia n1
Rcm 340 fuel pump I'd 1000cc injectors hks fmic and induction kit
Ecutek remap by bob rawle standard engine

 

Thanks bud

 

Pretty misleading though, car cost you less than a grand and you have done all the work yourself. (not that im saying thats a bad thing, im just saying its gonna totlay change the costs)

Also got any dyno graphs?
