Gutted for you Ryan!
Only ever heard good things about WMS so hope they build you a nice one and you get sorted out soon,put the whole sorry story behind you and maybe when your dream car is rebuilt(awesome looking car btw) you can then save up for another bike :thumb: Best of luck with it all. |
Bugger, nice to see you have a positive attitude in spite of the situation.
I would still have it stripped down to determine the cause of the failure other wise the same thing may happen to the next one, just in case it turns out to be fuel pump or some other ancillary that is still on the car. Onwards and upwards. :thumb: |

Don't want to split it now due to small garage and don't want to loose bits etc. Determine what the problem was then Ryan |
Keep us informed pls.

Gutting for you mate.. My SC42 let go last week, it was a year old, turbine paddles gone as the previous owner left the lamda in the up pipe, als melted it/shot it up to the turbo.. I fitted a blank in the hole, and its eventually caused the turbo to start passing oil. I just bought my impreza in September, 'finished', already spent 2 grand on the old girl. In no where near as deep as you, so only can imagine you must be gutted..
Owen developments have the turbo at the mo, replacing the shaft/turbine, metal cage bearings and updated heatshield and zircotec on the exhaust side.. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...bdf6dff39a.jpg |
Just hope my engine doesnt follow the same fate as yours.. Only about 13k miles on it from the build..

May be a bit of a strange option, have you thought of getting a standard engine from matt baker and running with the power you have? My friend Rupert has just bolted on the same turbo as myself, with a standard ej207.. Only 20 bhp less than my 2.1 and he's running 0.2 bar less..
I thought about doing a rotated 30/71, similar to the sc42.. Just couldnt justify it as the next ring trip is in Easter, I'm just itching to use it. Cost is hooge as well before selling the old bits.. Hope you figure it out mate, it looks brilliant under the bonnet |

Hope you figure it out mate, it looks brilliant under the bonnet Have thought about it yeah, but all the track days and ring and spa trips I'm planning I want something I can thrash and not worry about also My plan for next year was rotated EFR turbo of about 600bhp so may as well do it if I can now Ryan |

Cheers pal where are you from? I'm up in Manchester. Have to play this by ear and see where I'm at closer to the time. Hoping to get it all sorted asap but will see over the coming weeks Ryan |
Same dude, more so in case the weather is going to be too wintery lol. Im down in Wiltshire.. I know how these things can be, this time last year I was scratch building an engine for a 205, the bottome end did come back from balancing until march and it needed mapping and running in before easter for last years trip!!

Nice and clean engine bay there pal!
Couple here of my framed front end, not 100% finished yet but I cut everything away! The frame holds and supports everything now and saves loads of weight but is still strong Attachment 38859 |
Ahhh nice, love it.. What do you do for towing? Long tow strap from somewhere under there??

Rite lads bit of a update, I've found a ready built 2.35 engine built by Paul finch that's only done 2k.. 1k was running in.. bit more than I can afford but we shall see over the next week.. but I need a new clutch along which is looking at around the £700 mark.. so not much point putting a engine in until I get this sorted as well
Ryan |
Hopefully you get it sorted soon.
I feel your pain. I had mine booked in for the bodywork to be done on my subaru and now it's looking like the engine has let go. I'm not sure whether to cut my losses and look for another subaru, or bite the bullet and get it rebuilt. |
