POP goes the scooby, rebuild options...
 

Right after much fun this summer the Type R has killed its bottom end at shakespere raceway on sunday. :( Never mind, not the end of the world, but it does mean rebuild time, after some advice on my options at the moment, don`t mind saving for a while and spending a bit on it, but would like to spend the money wisely! Scoobyclinic will be doing the work either way, as i am a mechanical novice and really don`t have the experience to tackle it.

Current spec:
Scoobyclinic full system.
K+N panel filter.
Uprated Fuel Pump.
ECUtek Remap.

316bhp 319lbft

My original thoughts were to go for a rebuild that would cope with around 350bhp incorpoating maybe a different turbo, td0520g?, (Currently on a VF25) headers, a FMIC, pressure reg etc.

But i hadn`t considered the EJ25 short motor option! The price for this alone would be quite high, would this require or at least benefit from a bigger turbo? FMIC would be included either way.

Still a scooby newbie here, so any advice would be usefull!!! :)

What caused it to go? It's worrying how many Type-R's have been rebuilt!

Have a word with David at Api mate.

Good advice, no BS. whether you get work done there or not. :thumb:

Ns04

could that have been the same type R that was being pushed out on the main road ???????? i drove by you knocking alot myself.. white classic uk my00,gold graphics..

i was there and split my headers the day before so could only watch on the sunday
was so busy on the sunday i'm half glad i got a refund and only watched


as ns04 says , , give David a bell for options , he will tell you to stick with the 2.0 Litre ;)

That would be the one! Was having great fun till it went pop :( Wasted a V8 mustang and pipped a modded EVO IV ;):) Saw you drive past.

I`ve got plenty of time to plan what i wanna do, but i shall give this fella at API a call then. I`ve had a good scout round on the projects section, few ideas starting to formulate!

few ideas,,,lol....

i have been looking for ideas for over a year now,lol.

i have sat down with David for 3 hours to discuss my up coming rebuild, very impressed with his service
but i have just had a massive repair bill on my own lorry, so the scoob has to take a back seat for a while :(
