I expected you to say that, I see you have the hump with them.... to be fair the quality looks really good so I will see how it fits up :thumb:
Siv Spec looks good mate, similar to mine. I wonder what peak boost level Duncan took your car too on the dyno before he completed the map. What it is finally mapped to (hopefully less than 1.35bar peak on un-forged std 2.5 engine) may still be less than it saw during setup on the dyno. It may well of had a run at higher boost before he trimmed things back which could well have promoted early head gasket failure. You never know. |

lol not got the hump with them just seen alot of negative reports on their service/quality and wouldnt like to see a decent forum member like you waste his cash or worse have his new engine fail due to a poor aftermarket product.
again i see no reason why you need to upgrade your rad at that power level/use of car, surely the money would be better invested in something else. my hawk @78k is running 352bhp on the original rad and its fine,i did look at upgrading it but after talking to a few tuners they said unless im taking the car on track or running massive power the std subaru rad as long as its in good condition will be fine,if i diod decide to upgrade i would certainly put my money in a companies product that has lots of good reviews against a product that has poor reviews. glad that dt have looked after you mate, warranties are usually not worth more than the paper they are printed on. |
Spent 20k on it and needs an engine rebuild after mere (not read the whole thread) weeks is it? Would that be right?
Seller would be getting a visit. |
Well lets hope so!
|
WOW, they're not hanging about mate! Should be back together in no time at all by the looks of things. :thumb:
|
Cracking job!

This thread escalated quickly :lol1:
Is the new crank nitride coated or was it a like for like replacement? No mention of a different turbo or front mount intercooler :wonder: Keep the pics coming :thumb: |
Nice build! :thumb:

I would be concerned, with the work done and possible changes to the compression ratio the generic Subaru map is useless imo. This is the most unique STI in the UK. When the bottom end has gone it’s gone. Black box :lol1:.... wasn’t that a band from the 80’s :wonder: Siv Don't mess with the black box! |
:lol:

Looks excellent top work there by you and Thwaites really fast turn around ….. unlike some.

My mistake :oops:

Clearly by peoples opinions there are good and bad experiences...... hopefully i have a good one. https://i.imgur.com/wL9W6go.jpg https://i.imgur.com/G0GDMaK.jpg https://i.imgur.com/bm39w7F.jpg Siv :thumb: Lovely car by the way! :thumb: |
Looks good. That's where I am planning on mounting my Toucan display.
You need a better stereo in that car! Blimey! :D |
