nice one guys

ah k, i'd sell that and see what budget you have. Prices are all over the place at the min

Wouldn't touch a 2.5 that hasn;t had the engine sorted out myself. Or if i did would budget 3k to get the engine done straight away. Do you have a budget in mind?

Do you mean the tuning port? If so its just an interface device that flash's maps onto your car. Which for scoobs is a bad idea Bit pointless tbh, UK tends to have software such as ecutek that is custom mapped meaning its not needed.

running in, 500 miles with !Removed! nasty mineral oil, 500 on semi synthetic, then change for full synthetic and map away at 1000 miles.

I suspect its a bit too tame for you to be honest chap,,,,,, hahaha

Cost involved wouldn't be worth doing IMO, your only talking an increase of about 10bhp over the td05 (assuming its a 16g) by swapping to VF34. cracking turbo VF34 though, had one on my old classic.

ECU syvecs without doubt, turbo is a tough choice. What power you looking to run?

hmm, tough call

rather be out driving me scoob myself,,,,,,, hahaha

theres a company that keeps posting on here, $165 for one, always makes me think, holy cow thats gonna be crap lol

Depends which td05, there also pretty old tech now and alot of cheap fakes nocking around. plenty of different turbos are around that sort of mark.

what turbo and ecu you gonna run?

Blob WRX according to the profile info :)

I was referring to the engine mods, Problem is it will be on a TD04, front mount will make it laggy (only combination that does genuinly cause noticeable lag no mater your setup) Existing Injectors won't be maxed even with the current turbo giving its absolute bollox. Standard air feed wouldn't be a limit with the current turbo either. Fuel pump is worth doing as well as decat but that will be enough to max out the turbo as it is. Simply put, most of the mods listed aren't gonna do anything much cos the turbo is the weak link, chuck a VF35 or even sc36 on it and then your in a different situation. Right now your wasting your money.

Aye, closed deck it, forged pistons, uprated rods, decent headstuds and the 2.5 is a good engine. Side walls are still a bit weak to run really high power (towards 600) but for a road car 500 is plenty anyway lol

Pretty pointless list of mods on the main unless you have done the turbo?

Clinic have built a few, one 500+ and was the first new one to go over 500, still the same crappy 2.5's in em as well :( Although in a classic type R, ive got a closed deck 2.5 build in mine, been speced for about 550bhp :)

If the company is still trading as same name (bear in mind need to know what the parent company is, some company's have trading names, which isn't always a bad sign by the way), may well find your covered under the sale of goods act. Sounds like the headstuds were cocked up being put and heads have lifted and blown the gasket out :(

really sorry to hear :( fair few companies out there that have been sold on and arn't a patch on what they used to be.

stop you kinky ****** your turning me,,,,, hahahahaha

99 plate should have 440's

you big p.ussy you

From what i understood to get it that high you had to run it without some of the safety systems in place, i'll ask pat and see what he says. I'm by no means an expert on that level of technical info so info i have tends to be what i've asked when i've got to that stage of tune.

check it then,,,,, hahaha oil use is a sign of problems, so keeping an eye on it will mean you can spot the problem so limit the damage. Subaru say 1L per 1000 is the limit at which there is a problem, but by the time its using that much then the engine will be in serious problems.
