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.

Could be just a high biting point or could be a worn clutch. Keep an eye on fluid levels, especially oil, i check mine every 200 miles or so.

If it clears when it warms up then i wouldn't worry to much. Just keep an eye on your fluid levels and if there ok then your fine

question is are we nasty people and start posting pictures and for sale links???? hahaha

yeah, does happen. dyno will show what its running though. Also a compression test would be a good idea for piece of mind

97ron rat ****

i last 2 weeks before looking for one hahaha

has it got a certificate with it? only real way to check is check all the parts are installed and check the ecu has been done on a dyno.

Excuse for a drive though :D

thats an !Removed!

99 ron all the way. Vpower or tesco 99 only.

Fully synthetic is what you want on a turbo'd car. 5/4- 1-/40 seem to be the preferred weight depending on who you ask. Cheapest place i find to be opie oils. I'd change yours to fully synthetic when you do the next change james

Oil and filter, if you saw how quickly the oil went off you'd understand. You don't want to be draining it when its gone completely black by that point its already mullered
