350bhp 2.5 engine
kershaw-330s replied to Piggysniffer's topic in Subaru Engines, Exhausts and modifications
The scooby clinic turbos are just Blouch dominator but without the sexy black coating and lesser specked then they put their name on it and charge your more ,, true story , same as RCM and a few other tuners too your best of getting one from lateral performance they quite often have a deal on ;) or get an Ihi vf sti turbo second hand I'm sure breakers yards will be full of them it will do exactly what you want for a fraction of price Sent from my Nokia 3310 using Tapatalk -
Don't know if they're a member on here or not had all the other standard scooby mods like dump valve cone filter and lairy exhaust too Sent from my Nokia 3310 using Tapatalk

Exhaust advise
kershaw-330s replied to Sirspidey's topic in Subaru Engines, Exhausts and modifications
Haha yes life goes on . I'm running a 3 inch front half with a standard 2.5 centre section and prodrive back box would be interesting to compare the readings when I eventually get a 3" lol Sent from my Nokia 3310 using Tapatalk -
Haha yes you know you love it ;) Sent from my Nokia 3310 using Tapatalk

Exhaust advise
kershaw-330s replied to Sirspidey's topic in Subaru Engines, Exhausts and modifications
Yes I second that I'm not convinced a 2.5 would produce more torque on a turbo car the less back pressure, the quicker the turbo will spool quicker therefore producing more lowdown torque Sent from my Nokia 3310 using Tapatalk -

Exhaust advise
kershaw-330s replied to Sirspidey's topic in Subaru Engines, Exhausts and modifications
A remap would be recommended to maximise any gains you may get but from what I'm aware your good for about 330lbft I'm not sure maybe more , on the factory 5 speed I don't see an exhaust pushing you over that , also your tuner should be able to tune appropriately within the tolerances of the gear box Sent from my Nokia 3310 using Tapatalk -
You have the rear light overlays too .. Makes me wana do mine Sent from my Nokia 3310 using Tapatalk

2010 sti 330s engine problems??
kershaw-330s replied to Chris330s's topic in Subaru Engines, Exhausts and modifications
Yes getting the block honed properly and larger diameter head studs with a closed deck insert is the only real way to do it. "Properly" I would personally never use drop ins unless the engine is brand new , and it will prob still sound like a machine gun afterwards Sent from my Nokia 3310 using Tapatalk -
I think I've got about one more attemp left in me, Why don't you tell me when to come over, give me an address and then hopefully we can put this whole sorry saga to bed, or if you really don't wanna or can't be bothered then just say [emoji106] Lol I will give ya a text ;) Sent from my Nokia 3310 using Tapatalk

2010 sti 330s engine problems??
kershaw-330s replied to Chris330s's topic in Subaru Engines, Exhausts and modifications
Yes they can blow just with normal driving , some people notice oil consumption before it goes so check the oil more than normal and try not to give it wot before 3k and if you have low fuel Sent from my Nokia 3310 using Tapatalk -
2010 sti 330s engine problems??
kershaw-330s replied to Chris330s's topic in Subaru Engines, Exhausts and modifications
Well like it says earlyer on you maybe lucky and never experience any problems , it may have already happened and you just don't know it , also buy an air oil separator this will help prevent detonation also get a custom map done by a specialist and don't do any mods without a map , and if your still worried get a compression / leak down test done . And speak to a few specialist like finch, roger Clarke , engine tuner or Andy forest about engine builds or what options there are for you and your budget personally I would stay away from scooby clinic but you can always give them a ring too Sent from my Nokia 3310 using Tapatalk -
2010 sti 330s engine problems??
kershaw-330s replied to Chris330s's topic in Subaru Engines, Exhausts and modifications
Like I've already said I would only ever consider haveing that two Bob treatment if I wanted to sell it on not if I wanted to drive it anywhere . But I must be wrong . Because I'm not agreeing that it's a great idea .. It's very poor practise to say the least and I can't believe they're getting away with it and people have actually payed for it [emoji85] shocking !! Totally shocking Sent from my Nokia 3310 using Tapatalk -
2010 sti 330s engine problems??
kershaw-330s replied to Chris330s's topic in Subaru Engines, Exhausts and modifications
I've read it word for word , you may think you saving money now but in the long run your not scooby clinic are seeing people off . Wether there if failure or not it's still a wast of time and money in my opinion and your better off getting it done properly . And almost all stis upon inspection all have ringland failure so are clinic going to tell you this if you had your car booked in for the two Bob service , or will they just put drop ins in and not say anything ?? I think the latter also. What about the other apparent problems with head studs and bearings , oil pic up etc it's a 50k engine all these should be refreshed if you want it to last Sent from my Nokia 3310 using Tapatalk -
2010 sti 330s engine problems??
kershaw-330s replied to Chris330s's topic in Subaru Engines, Exhausts and modifications
Well tbh if you happy spend 3 K on half a job that's entirely upto you . I've never rated clinic and personally never let the touch my car as far as I'm concerned they're just a bit two Bob and winging it, and there are many reasons why I have this opinion! but like I said if you want it done properly it's going to cost about 5k unless you get some monkey to do it. The fact they even consider using drop ins concerns me . And even if you can do all four without splitting the block I still find it very unlikely the car do it in the car also if you thinks it's exceptable to take an engine with 50k on it and just put drop ins in and not even change the belts , head studs , gaskets, bearings Water and oil pump your bonkers . Just wasting your cash tbh because 1year down the line your going to have to spend out get it done properly but the prob exactly what crappy clinic want p> Sent from my Nokia 3310 using Tapatalk -
2010 sti 330s engine problems??
kershaw-330s replied to Chris330s's topic in Subaru Engines, Exhausts and modifications
And I really don't know how scooby clinic think they're going to change all 4 Pistons with only taking the heads off :/ as you only have an inspetion eye on half the block the other half need the piston putting in with the rods . Maybe that's why it's was so cheep they obv only change 2 Pistons hahaha Sent from my Nokia 3310 using Tapatalk -

kershaw-330s replied to Chris330s's topic in Subaru Engines, Exhausts and modifications
Like I said your looking at 5k + to get it done properly or if you don't you can get it done much Cheeper but not really because it will just fail again Sent from my Nokia 3310 using Tapatalk
