The Scoob has gone....
...on holiday 
Well, my Scoob was picked up Tuesday and deposit has been paid for the rebuild
Speaking to Alan @ EngineTuner, it'll be the first Newage car with their 2.1 + S206 Combo!! Should take 3-4 weeks for the build then running in will take a few weeks. After that, it's back down for new injectors and a new ECU, maybe the new Solaris hopefully!!
Having spoken to Alan and Martyn by email and on the phone, they seem like really nice guys and it was a choice between them and David @ API, but API was a little more expensive for the 2.5!! I've heard nothing but good things from both companies but EngineTuner gets the vote
Can't wait now!! Will update this thread as and when I get any news

Glad to hear you went for this combination, it should prove to be an outstanding engine. 
It will be back soon enough, run in and then ready for action.
I don't know if I could go through the torture of running then engine in for 1k miles
, I like the sound of the Solaris ECU, how will you have the different profiles set up? 
I think you might be a bit of a star at the next track day.

Awesome Merv
What sort of power do the s206 turbos make??
Like the sound of the Solaris ECU got to be either that or a Simtek really, just depends weather u need the extra function over the simtek for the extra cost.
I'd defo get the engine bay painted whilst the engine is out, coz hopefully it won't have to come back out again.

Think I'm edging towards the SimTek mainly coz of the extra cost!!

Trackday sounds good Calvin Where else is there that doesn't impose a noise limit??
The earlier we book for the Ring the better It's 4 1/2 hrs from Calais and they have 100RON fuel there The hotels are pretty reasonable too!!

looks like mine will be taking a holiday soon, Found out on friday that one or more of the of the cylinders has balloned, so it's going to need a rebuild soon, still drives fine but smoking a little whilst on boost.
I'm not that bothered really, I got the car at a good price and once that is done hopefully the car will see me trouble free for a few years.
Atleast with mine It's already got everyting needed for big power so it's only a new bottom end needed
Can you pm me some prices you were quoted for the 2.5 merv

Have you carried out a leak down test on each cylinder and if so what was your percentage of air loss?. Also has your car been over fueling?, as this can be a common cause for piston ring blow by especially during the running in stage.
