savage bulldogs

Had a great day at the pod again [emoji41] Only did 2 runs, first one was a 14 dead second one was a 13.3 (0 to 105 mph) I'm sure I could squeeze a sub 13 out of the old girl by being a bit more savage with the launch and changes [emoji4] http://i862.photobucket.com/albums/ab187/brianhodgson7501/th_MVI_1197_zpsed9pma9j.mp4 That was my first run of 14 seconds next to a European champion ship car practicing for a race tomorrow [emoji5]

I got there early today and got 2 runs in 40 mins (took nearly 4 hrs to do 2 last time on the Sunday ) Found stants ,nick and brockie lurking by the Litchfield ,nice to meet ya chaps and sorry I made a sharp exit after only chatting for 10 mins . I'm back home and have eaten my steak dinner already [emoji4] Have a goodn tomorrow fellas [emoji106]

I don't know much about newage tuning and even less about the 2.5 ltr wrx stock injectors. What size are they ? As I think on a newage 2ltr at standard pressure 480cc max about 320 hp 300 flbs 550's max about 370 hp 350 flbs I know the 2.5 naturally has more torque but I think the bigger cc would probably use more fuel and therfore max out the injectors sooner ? The blip in the afr does suggest a posible fuelling change but that could be due to dyno load (what fuels been allowed in a different gear) and could be just from when it comes on boost

Fairly early but we are only going for the Saturday and will probably leave about 230 [emoji53] Doesn't look like I'll be able to give you the sti peddle set Saturday stants cos I haven't had chance to fit the spec c ones yet [emoji57] Might bring the other ones with me and fit em while I'm there if I get chance [emoji4]

Weather's looking good at the moment for Saturday [emoji41] so unless there's a change we're meeting at Bury St Edmunds tesco at 9am aiming to get there for 1030 fellas [emoji6]

I think the lack of thermal insulation used in the intake tract and engine bays in general is a major thing overlooked across most marques of vehicles . As colder denser air creates a hotter combustion giving more power and better economy .

I agree tidgy it can work out cheaper to pay for a fault find than buying random parts and if a cylinder looses compression it can also give a misfire code but the spark plugs might show oil fouling to indicate loss of compression I'm lucky enough to have at least half a scoob in boxes in my shed [emoji4] But the op could re gap the plugs to 0.7 ,switch ht lead from cylinder 1 to cylinder 4 reset the ecu and see if the fault code comes back on cylinder number 1 instead (if at all) .which would just cost time not money [emoji6]

Fair exchange is no robbery Imo bud

Yeah sure stants, peddle sets normally only sell for £20 max ,dunno how much your bushes are ? The rails ,lines and fpr have came up at a decent price and they look real purdy [emoji5] so had to get em lol

What model /year is it ? If it has ht leads have you tried changing those ? If it's a turbo version what were the plugs gapped at ? As if the gaps to big the spark can be "blown out" by high boost

That's a shame sam I was gonna bring a spare bonnet scoop to gaffer tape onto the imprezka's bonnet ,so it blended in a bit better on the s.o.c stand this time [emoji23]

I'll sell them on stants as think I've just done a deal over the phone that's completely emptied the "scooby modding pot" [emoji19] buy buying a newer momo steering wheel , adjustable fuel pressure regulator, parallel fuel rails with braided lines and a bigger turbo [emoji39]

Early 96 v2 would have 4 coil packs (1 on top of each spark plug) I've upgraded mine to newage coil packs which is fairly easy if you can use a soldering iron . Late 96 v3 would have a single coil pack attached to the centre of the inlet manifold you can buy uprated ht leads but I'm unsure if the coil pack itself can be upgraded

Google the ty number anyways bud cos if it's had a gearbox change before sombody might have put a shorter ratio box and diff in. (If it's a standard UK box it will be a 3.5.4 ratio) You will need the other bits I mentioned as well (cradle ,prop,gearstick ect) Yeah that's mattyb ' s firm won't go wrong with his bits bud [emoji5]

6 speed conversion kit will cost about £1.5k + fitting + new clutch, might as well fit a new uprated clutch while the box is off [emoji6] If you didn't swallow your own tongue at the price here's what I suggest. Look on your current 5 speed box bell housing (near the starter motor) for a white sticker with a code starting with ty*** Google the impreza ty*** code to find the gearbox and rear diff ratio If you can find a 6 speed with the same ratio as the current 5 speed the minimum you'd need to buy (cheapest option) would be .... 6 speed box (same ratio) 6 speed cradle 6 speed prop 6 speed gear linkage,stick and knob As the 5 speed Clutch Clutch slave Flywheel Starter motor Speedo sensor Front Drive shafts Rear diff (if the same ratio) Are all compatable although I chose to run the 6 speed flywheel, clutch, slave and starter motor ,mainly as they were 10 yrs newer and came in the kit [emoji6] Mattyb (reputable breaker) will probably have what you need in stock let me know if you're definitely still interested and I'll point him in your direction bud

Check the cam and crank sensor plugs as if one of these come off it will turn over and not fire [emoji6]

No worries bud[emoji106] hope it's something simple

Starting to take shape now bud [emoji106]

Was clearing the boot out and realised that the original classic space saver spare wheel won't fit over the new brembos [emoji57] So spoke to mattyb and ordered a 5 x 100 pcd newage sti space saver and a black n silver spec c peddle set ,as the current newage sti pink peddle set doesn't match my interior [emoji5]

Think he's near kings lyn or Cambridge but he travels to you anyway Tim farmer 07880661866 [email protected]

I'd considered a t36 but turbo technics had had a few issues with the oil feeds on the subaru set ups . Last I knew they were working on ironing out the creases before they sell any more so give it a google if your buying a second hand unit and make a informed choice Rcm do a decent in tank pump as well

It depends on your target hp but if your current injectors are blue I think they're 480cc good for 320 hp . If they're pink 550 cc I think they're good for 370 hp and the limit for the newage 5 speed is about 380/400 hp The tdo4 will be on its limits at your current level of tune

Yeah The weather forecasts are about as honest and reliable as vw emissions tests [emoji39] Hence why we're leaving it till Friday before we commit but I'll let you all know as early as possible what we're doing

With a bigger turbo and injectors it should see some good power too . Is it a wrx or sti ?

Always happy to help someone else spend their money [emoji5] It's only when I spend mine that the Mrs moans at me [emoji23] Any idea what the main mods are and what power she's running atm ?
