so at £1100 complete with 65000 miles it feels like i stole it :D
Attachment 27850 Attachment 27851 Attachment 27852 Attachment 27853 Attachment 27854 So far intercooler has been taken off and sold, clutch and fly wheel stripped off along with alternator, aircon, steering pump. Next step is to take both manifolds off and clean/modify, turbo off and look out for something to run around 400bhp (sc36?) |
Good find. Where did you get it?
|
You won't see 400bhp on a SC36,the bhp is all in the model number i.e "36" meaning 360bhp or a tad more,i would look for a SC42 with the right supporting mods will hit 400bhp+ allday:),just make sure your car brakes are matched to cope with the added power,so you can stop the thing;).SJ.

thanks, was on ebay, was just there at the right time
thats interesting as i have seen someone buy one being told they will get 400 from a 36, time will tell there! ill keep an eye out for a 42 then! :D brakes are pretty good on this one, but maybe a fresh set of pads would be on the cards to make sure |

Clean,Degrease,Rub down,Prep/primer coat and then a couple cans of this:http://www.frost.co.uk/vht-red-wrink...ish-310ml.htmlOr what other colour is your preference.SJ.

havnt updated this in a while, not a huge amount has been done but getting closer to building the engine up, so far i have;
-MDX555-400 -reflowed 565 injectors (to 800cc) -williams motorsport headers -re furbed the inlet and header tank list still needed -timing kit -gaskets -fuel pump -3 port boost solenoid -sump (im being picky the old one looks a bit rough) But i do have anothers year mot it :D some photos anyway! attempted to clean the manifold first but the paint just started lifting Attachment 26195 so re painted Attachment 26196 also did the header tank and a few brackets Attachment 26197 Attachment 26198 Attachment 26199 headers Attachment 26200 Attachment 26201 couple random photos Attachment 26202 Attachment 26203 Got hold of a front mount kit so wanted to get the cooler fitted up ready for the rest to go on, but no wondering if it will make much difference and if i should stay with the top mount?

Hi! Do I see water in the left front light?
|
Looks like it's coming along nicely
2 questions , has the inlet manifold maintained its red colour as people say it comes up quite orange'y ?? And I can see your running hsd's that's my other dilemma. How harsh would you say your ride is |

Ok thanks I'm just struggling to get a decent colour match for the earlier inlet manifolds as later cars have a much brighter red
Yeh I think I'm going to go coilees in the end Car looks smart mate |

Well it's time to get this swap started, this weekend consisted of pulling the old engine, gave it a good examine, no play in the turbo everything tight and clean, superb condition for 120,000 miles!
Then the bay was cleaned up a little, which lead me to find my power steering issue, the return pipe had rubbed through! I had already purchased a new pump and steering rack so the full system is now being swapped, rack was swapped, now just waiting on the lines to arrive so I can carry on the swap! Couple photos any way Attachment 23944 Attachment 23945 Attachment 23946 |

engine going in,
Attachment 23565 had to do some trimming to clear the headers Attachment 23566 all bolted up Attachment 23567 Attachment 23568 255 swapped with the 320 Attachment 23569 and all sorted! Attachment 23570 Attachment 23571 on the mapping day there were a few issues, Neil didnt have the software to re code the sti ecu without matching transponder or key so we just ran the wrx ecu with a safe 1.4 bar of boost, without the AVCS heads. even like this we made 352 bhp and 298 ft/lb will be going back in the next month or so with the final bits to get the lag down and hopefully push the power up a little more :) Attachment 23572 |
Excellent work. Must be good to see it all coming together?
