Me mates got an Ev0 6 and im hopefully going finally get off my *** and go look at the version 4 up at keighly (no comments) just wondering how the type r will go against him ?

straight line side by side from say 30-120mph ?

many thanks

 

My V4 type r pulls away from my mates evo 5 by quite a bit on straights with only mild mods. (filter, decat, apexi). The top end of his car is slightly quicker than mine though as it has i higher top speed

 

You will beat him mate no doubt...

P.s. well my type-r does

 

I stayed with a Modified 6 at Trax when I had my R running 300bhp on a non-octane booster 98ron map.

He ended up pulling over to let me by

 

lol

think he has a fulls exhaust system n decat on his 6 !

is much work involved in getting a type r to 300bhp ish ?

would like to think i can get it to 330ish !

 

Most TypeR's see over 300BHP at Rolling Roads with a decat, decent filter and bigger fuel pump. But that is on the original 100ron JDM map, so you will have to run Octane Booster.
Mine was mapped for drivability and bullet proof reliability on a purely 97/98 ron petrol basis.

If you can stretch the budget to a 5/6 and get a TEK remap, or fit Apexi or other aftermarket ecu, you can start to creep into the mid 300's.

In terms of power only, I would suggest the following order (after decat etc):

Apexi or other aftermarket ecu, professionally mapped.
Bigger Pump and Regulator to max out the 440 injectors
Better Dump valve.
TD05 FE
550 or bigger injectors
Hybrid Front Mount Intercooler.

Then you can start upping the spec of the Turbo etc.

Although, the best bet would be to sink and extra £1000 into an already, or partly modified car. Much cheaper in the long run and you get the benefits NOW.

 

if there is no model report for the type r scoobs, how come Keighley motors have so many in stock ? they state sva'd tax n tested etc etc.

when did the model report law come into effect ? does this mean Keighley have had these same scoobs in stock for however many months ?

 

You are a brave man if you are buying from there fella,

I went there last year and looked at a 96 STI, the check engine light was on, it was smoking badly, it had not been cleaned inside or out, and the staff didnt give a **** wether I was going to buy a car or not, and at the far end of the huge unit they have there must have been a couple of hundred spray cans for those quality repairs.

Save your money and try some where else.

 

i know ive heard about there reputation, but i figuare, i aint one for looking after a car anyway, and its not like its not going to get the **** thrashed out of it anyway ! and if it blows up it will be a good excuse to rebuild it with more power

any suggestions on a price for a genera rebuild upto 350-380bhp ? my father in law can build it all up, so it would be just a case of parts and mapping etc !

 

Right mate i am going down the exact same route and you are looking in the region of about 2 - 3k with bolt on mods to achieve that power figure.

 

what tends to actual give if u thrash a scooby and it blows up so to speak ?

i hear frightening storys of like 5-7k for a rebuild ?? or is that just cuz the rebuild is to an high spec or high labour charges ?

 

It will probably blow up, couple of thousand to repair and budget roughly the same for bolt on upgrade and then another few thousand cause your inlaw rebuilt it poorly. It will cost you plenty+ insurance

 

lol i trust the inlaw completely, hes spend the last 20yrs working on engines mainly cylinder heads !

 

i agree, the cars were all iffy, dashboards hangin off, dodgy body kits. not one of them i would describe as a nice car. i noticed the spray cans also perhaps they are into grafiti

 

you need your head looking at if you buy a car from them

 

i want a trade deal so can part ex me ek9 if for a type r though ! and they are the only dealer with them in stick and quite a few of them at that!

got be worth going take a look ! they cant all be bad surely

 

 

Same as everybody else has said. DO NOT BUY A CAR FROM THERE. I know every crap garage accidentally sells a good car,even them!! They are few and far between at that place. My mate bought an mr2 turbo from there which blew up within a couple of months of having it.

Theres plenty of other places to look for cars.

 

yeah suppose so

might even after to look at 4 dr sti's
