Glad it's back on track mate.
Still want those headers...I want to get rid of the burble! Cant find any used ones anywhere. |
Subscribed! Looks great, what heat wrap did you use? Also what paint for the inlet? I really want to get an OEM finish to mine, but don't want it to flake off :(
|
I'm still pretty sure my headers are unequal, maybe someone can confirm.
The heat wrap is dei titanium about 100meters in the end and the paint is VHT high temp wrinkle. Hopefully it'll stay on. |
Cool cheers dude, yer definitely unequal length headers :)
|
Cheers cutmastert
Also got nismo 740cc injectors and aftermarket rails with braided pipes. On removing the engine I found that the vf28 compressor wheel had bits missing apparently common. Also found the block was an open deck, pretty sure it should have been a scd so someone's swapped them at some point, it's a semi closed going back in 😉 |
I swear this didn't used to have the usual burble though?
I've still got that cooling panelcooling thing for this if you want it? |
Get a twin scroll SC42 setup on there ;) Did you go down to see Rich to get the block?
He's doing my six speed at the moment :) Where abouts in Kent are you? I'm in Margate |
Got a set of P1 inverted dampers to go on.
https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...94bc156bd0.jpg Today I sorted the hole in the inner wing for the intercooler pipe that someone has hacked and bent bits out of the way, https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...a298b6e455.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...7f20860e23.jpg |
Timmy- I never thought It sounds like the other Impreza's. Do you not want the panel for your Impreza?
CutmasterT- I'm not sure of his name but he's a big bloke, wouldn't piss him off lol. There's a sc36 for sale at the mo but I was after 400bhp ish which that won't reach, Martin at engine tuner is devloping a t36 hybrid which sounds great but I don't really want to spend another £1300 😥 |
Hahaha yer that's Rich 😊 proper sound bloke.
If you're after 400 then the twin scroll sc42 would be a great option. With that you need equal length headers, but the sound is awesome |
I'll be going back to rich to get Duncan graham to map it when it's done.
Are you selling a sc42 twin scroll by any chance? |
Hi mate sorry not got one for sale.
I've only recently got mine fitted, but needed a six speed before mapping it to its full potential. Rich breaks a lot cars so maybe speak with him and see if he can get hold of one or something similar. I think he had an SC46 (not sure if he still does) but I believe they're more suited to the 2.5, and would be a tad laggy on the 2ltr. Keep looking in the for sale section on here too, I'm sure one will pop up sooner or later |

That hole for the pipe work wasn't me by the way, looks good now though:thumb: Panel? Sorry not with you. |
Timmy2take- the cooling panel, do you not want it for your impreza?
CutmasterT- I'll get in touch with him about a turbo, there's not rush yet as the blocks/heads will be a few weeks yet. |
Sorry long day at work!
No, already got one on mine. It is pink though!? |
These arrived today, not very exciting but nearly got all the bits to start building 😅
https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...99fa8531bf.jpg |
i have a car the same as yours same colour same look and iv bought most of the same bits as you lol just waiting to put it together as i had the wrong fuel rails :( v1 paralel fuel rails dont fit my v3 so i need some v3 billet rails or something
|
I have my standard fuel rails that has been ultra sonic cleaned with parallel fuel lines, are they any good to you?
|
you got any pics mate? as iv already bought all the lines and fittings i have a post in the wanted section looking for some rails to run parallel on a v3 inlet so im very interested in these
|
Got a set of enkei's on the way 😎, so the compomotives needs to go.
The standard shocks will be coming off tomorrow and giving the arches a clean then the p1 shocks can go on. I'll get some pics. |
Got the shocks fitted, also put the grease nipples in the rears.
Removed the a/c matrix to tidy the engine bay. Also cleaned the arches while the shocks were out. https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...18ec6e3cb1.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...88d1becc0a.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...edaf74c349.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...80c989eafe.jpg This is how it stands at the mo, till the wheels arrives. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...4f6292c00c.jpg Fitted the new exhaust but I'm not too sure about it, it's rather large and angled. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...12578be5a1.jpg |
The wheels are here.... Well, 3 of them have arrived 😡
The 4th should be here tomorrow. It's also the 1st time sitting on the p1 suspension, the rear looks good, will have to see once it's settled. https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...e5245c29de.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...fc7b1936cd.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...dded78147e.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...b0ad655299.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...f9d9c911a0.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...41bd8cd590.jpg |
Got the bumper back from the paint shop, couldn't get the splitter to fit how I wanted it too, but I'll play about with it.

Semi closed deck blocks didn't start until the newage STI and closed decks were only found on early cars up to about 95 and then in the V2 STI RA. After that all had open deck blocks. Great project by the way :thumb: |
I see, thanks for that. It's got a newage semi closed bottom end going in.
|
Nice project fella,like the wheels too.Its needing some ss braided brake hoses tho.:thumb:
|
I'll see how the brakes perform with the new amount of power as I may end up changing the whole lot.
|
Got the turbo today, a standard position gt3076r, possibly an Owen developments one😎
Next to the old vf28 https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...baaa98a6bc.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...d46680878f.jpg |
The blocks and heads are ready just need collecting
Pic of the cleaned blocks https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...327722951a.jpg Also the bearings came today from APi today, and the catch can that'll go in if I can find the space for it. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...6f87d0702c.jpg |
