Okay, planning the next stage of mods, anything I've missed

Engine.

VF34/35 (or maybe an SC36 Billet)
TGV Delete (just need some welding in my spare inlet to sort this)
STI Pinks
Exedy pink plus flywheel

Chassis.

K-sport 356mm 6/8 pots
STI Brembo rears
BCs (if funds allow)

Obviously a remap and wheel alignment

I can't think of anything else this side of a stroker/gearbox upgrade.

I also need to get a couple more bits of flocking done and sort out a respray, so anyone want to buy 2 small children

 

Sounds like you will have a beast on your hands when all that is done Jon.

 

Not a beast, just something to throw around the track

 

Fuel Pressure Regulator
Uprated Fuel Pump
Baffled Sump - for the track
Oil Cooler - for the track maybe
Bigger Injectors for the Billet Turbo
??

Itl be pretty awesome after your mods

 

Fuel pump is done, STI Pinks = bigger injectors.

The SC36 is a 16G equivalent, and the SC38 is an 18G

FPR possibly, I'll take advice but the fuel pump and pinks should be fine on a standard one.

Sump and cooler would come with a stroker upgrade. IIRC it is an engine out (or at least hoisted) to get the sump off

 

Jon what power are going for with all that?

 

Somewhere around the 350 mark

 

That will be very impressive on a WRX but will you not be on borrowed time in teams on the cast pistons and gearbox?

 

It will depend upon how it treat it. According to many the newage WRX is good for 400bhp in the standard internals, but I'll not push it too far. Again with care people have run a WRX 5-speed with 400bhp for a couple of years, but 350 is the often quoted limit so I should be okay.

Worst case I'll have an excuse to stroke the engine

 

Jon i like the way you think!!!!!

 

And by having a new turbo I'll have something reliable with legs to exploit the stroker

 

Have you been talking to Rich???

He has been like the little devil on my shoulder suggesting i get a new turbo.

 

"Legs" Stroking" "Exploding"................John are we talking about cars or something else!! lol

 

Rich has been more of a sounding board for my ideas, I think he knows too well that I'll do it when I am good and ready

 

Who mentioned exploding

Now stroking legs is a different matter

 

With your forged pistons I reckon 400bhp plus wouldnt be an issue with a respective turbo? Though you would also need an uprated fuel pump & injectors, intake kit maybe, remap, TMIC would be good for the job.

 

Ricky of course we are talking cars what site did you think this was??

 

Rich reckons I could easily do 450bhp possibly more...
Have got a walbro in already but the injectors are pretty much maxed out at the moment.
I was thinking front mount because they are so much better for cooling and also cause they just look the shizzle!!!
Also i would think about an after market ECM for things like anti lag and launch control.

 

Jon was you in Watford about 4-15 today ?

 

Nope, got the builders in so stuck at home

 

Just caught a glimpse of what looked like yours from behind as i was going onto M25 from watford.
Builders OK doing a good job. Not Ricky rebuilders is it

 

John Wayne and his mates, but the landlord is paying so not my concern

 

Better than Roy Rogers he would sing as well
