My car has been messing about for a while now . Its been overheating for a - thought I sorted it a couple weeks ago but found out today that I haven't.... and now there is a strange grinding noise .... which sounds like tensioner pulley, but I maybe wrong.

So I think now is time for a upgrade....

Currently,

2002 wrx
Sti topmount
full decat
K&n typhoon air intake
walbro fuel pump
pink injectors
CDF LIGHTWEIGHT PULLEYS
CDF DROPLINKS
KSPORT 8POT 330MM FRONTS


Not sure if I should go down the ej257 route or stick with what I have got, But I think this is a good chance to get our parts we make on the car ....which I should have done years ago


For the upgrade I already have ..

CDF Racing stainless/alloy Cam pulleys

CDF Racing Parrell fuel rails

WISECO PISTONS/ MANLEY RODS

CDF ALLOY PITCH MOUNT
CDF OIL CAN

Cometic head gaskets , arp headstuds , acl bearings .


Parts on there way

CDF Adjustable coilovers
CDF Adjustable anti roll bars
CDF Anti lift kit
CDF Brake set up front and rear


Parts to get :



New turbo
Currently in talks with a supplier in Japan, which hopefully if all goes well after we test this out will start suppling them

Cosworth timing belt

New clutch and flywheel



Parts I am thinking off ,

uprated throttle bodies and pulleys,



All I need now is for someone to build it for me


Chris

 

Sounds interesting, I'll be keeping an eye on this as I'll be after a turbo this year, but not too much as I want to keep the standard internals and retain driveability with a decent power hike

You could always try Fiestaboy, recently laid off by Zen as they cut back, I know he's looking for work although Bucks to Kent is a hike

 

Ideally jon , If I could get someone like that with a good background that would be great, that could work from our place aswell even better... and if they was cheap ....even better still

 

Drop him a PM or check out his post in the Southern section and post a reply

I won't see him for a couple of weeks but he's doing some work on mine ahead of the MOT and then he's going to port my headers for me

 

And some of these Auto

 

what sort of size turbo we talking????

 

The sample one will only be a td05 20g , Im not greedy

 

already have that, was hoping bigger!!!

 

Decided on a ej257 short block now,. might go for a little more power

 

Who's gonna do the work Chris ??

Oh and thanks for the Battery clamp, arrived yesterday. Looks great

 

Excellent Choice,


The WRX cams will be slightly restrictive. I would suggest just getting some STI 5/6 heads as they will bolt on with little fuss and flow alot more air. This combo really does make the 2.5 come alive.

Rods and pistons in the 2.5 block are a must have if you've got the means.

Going from 2.0L to 2.5 was one of the best things I have ever done.

You won't regret it.

 

Not sure yet mate , so many out there..... car not even starting at the moment so I am driving the wifes girly c-class with pink eveything inside



Will be uprating the cams for sure, for pistons and rods most likley both manley now

 

Suits ya I bet

 

Got some v4 heads available soon £350 plus postage

 

Good luck with the build Chris, i'm sure it will come along just fine.

 

Chris - I'd be more than happy to come over for a few days to build up and install your new motor.

Feel free to drop me a PM.

Richard

 

well have to have a chat about this mate, let me get sorted and i'll drop you a pm

 

Been offered one of these from a supplier in netherlands






I can see this going further than I first thought

 

Anyone know how much reverse manifolds go for over here because this isnt cheap

 

Which bit?

 

reverse manifold

 

Sounds like this could get out of hand, Legacy 3.0L six cylinder anyone

 

Hi Chris,

That looks like the Tractive manifold. Reverse is probably not necessary for the level your aiming at ... it all helps, but as good value for money ... not imho. A decent front mount is worthwhile though.

Cheers
Richard

 

Since my last post...... in January I haven't had the chance to get my car sorted

But it is now booked in with Rich ...(Fiesta boy) to come and get it sorted...


So, I am going for a new ej257 block and Nitride-treated Crankshaft - it's on it's way right now frm the states


I already have our Cam pulleys, new TD05 20G turbo, Manley piston & rods, New oil pump and pink injectors..
Will also be using our newage fuel rails .


We have also starting designing some new 6 pot calipers on our cad cam.... which will be a big project for us , Will be designing them to suit some peformance friction discs and pads... should be interesting

Along with pretty much everthing else we already do for scoobies


watch this space as will be updated quite a bit from now


Cheers chris

 

do some rear kits too

the bay in that yellow car looks pretty special!!!

 

i have 1, i bought it s/hand for £500 if you look on the tractive website (RICHARD BULMER) i think there £800/ £900 new

 

Chris there is little gain to be had by going reverse manifold, therefore may i suggest you keep it in standard position and just ensure you have a nice FMIC to go with the lot and a lot of nice shiny stuff should keep you busy with detailing and cleaning and also look the part.

Considering i'm not to far from you if you get stuck or need anything let me know, although i am sure Rich will have everything within his motor.

 

Chris

Meaning to ask if you might be able to machine 2x AP 6 pot brake mounts for me?

Mark

 

Will be keep the standard manifold baly but if we get time may machine a new larger throttle body


Mark, yes we can... I think I have drawings for them somewhere, will check.
although we are quoting silly lead time unfortunatly as we are still swamped.... do have a new guy starting next week though

 

some bits
