Heard about this yesterday, alot of potential in this, just hope they dont ***** it up. I can see alot of subaru owners attending the btcc meets now :D

haha cheers :D yeah daft thing is it started running out of fuel top end, so had to have a new fuel pump, bigger injectors and a fuel pressure reg. Only made 10bhp more after that before they had to stop lol I suspect it would pretty easily get to high 300's if not 400+ bhp if the turbo was pushed, how much torque it would get i have no idea, But im sure the gearbox would just fall over and run away if that was the case hahaha

So results are in and i picked up the car at the weekend :D Wow, goes like fook!!!!! graph kinda says why hahaha They stopped the mapping pretty early on, (running 1.2bar iirc),due to the torque rapidly climbing to gearbox shreading level so ended up at 331bhp iwhich im happy with, 380ftlb of torque is epic result :D

make sure you get that in writing from the dealer mate. then any issues at a later date your well covered

has it been mapped for the bigger injectors?

Chassis damage is gonna kill it i expect :(

The piston rings could be scoring the bores of the block if they are damaged, only takes a split second and one rev to damage them if your unlucky. If part of the piston ring has detatched where has it gone? has i been crushed up and gone into the cylinder? iof so has it damaged the valves and the heads? etc etc untill a full engineering report is done to ascertain whats damaged and not you wont have a full picture, it could have done a ring land, could have done a piston itself, etc etc At the min all you know is its burning oil and theres oil where it shouldn't be. full stand alone ecu system, if your having it rebuilt then id go that route so you can sack the maf off etc

Yeah based up at chesterfield mate. I wouldn;t drive it if its that nackered. forged 2.0 will easily handel 400, for road use a 400bhp 2.5 will walk all over a 2.0 due to the low down grunt of the 2.5. I just went for a 2.0 to a 2.5 in my type r and its a very different drive, even without the turbo running lol Cost wise will be massivley dependant on the damage. If block is shot then cost for a 2.5 vs a 2.0 prob wont be huge difference depending on what can reused, if block is ok rebuild will be alot cheaper. Ecu wise depends what you want to throw at it, alcatek or syvecs would be my choice

Worth travelling for a decent one. As most folks know scoobyclinic do all my work and I wouldn't go anywhere else. You'd be ten times closer than some of their customers as well ;) lol As far as what you have done i'd pick a tuner and get a spec and price sorted and stick with that. Ringing round your gonna get 18 different answers some will be too cheap for the work, some will spec somethign that isn;t right for what you want etc etc. You also need to have the damage assessed to find out whats needed, if the block is damaged then it's gonna be a very pricey job. Also need to decide if your gonna stay 2.0, go 2.1, or even 2.5. 2.5 would be my choice ;)

personaly i;d stay clear of k-sports due to the dust seal issue

yeah i only found i got confidence in my old calssic when i swapped out the front calipers for some d2's. was lucky with the type r cos its got ap fronts and brembo conversion on the rear already

o right, didnt realise they were slide ones all round on em tis a bit of an !Removed! that

im at work, didnt say i was working,,,, hahahaha tbh was quite nice being so quiet over christmas, anoying that i couldnt get on demand stuff on tv though

whats on the back end currently? on scoobs front end does alot more braking than the back end so you dont have to do the rears as well.

i've told them not to rush so its not a high priority, garage is still full of crap hahaha

haha, im still offline at home but back tot he grindstone with working net lol

No real update as of yet, cars had the mechanical stuff done but when mapping got to low 300's and started to run out of fuelling and no time before Christmas to be looked at in depth.

bummer :( glad your ok though

easy one that, nope hahaha, you may get a bit more on a steady tootle long run but anything over 20 is pretty good for mixed driving

Can you get the existing one rebuilt?

pmsl 17.8k in the end then :o wonder if it will get paid for or a false bidder?

Offset will be an issue opn the wheels as well. You could chuck a set of D2's on it or a AP 4 pot kit for the ultimate, really depends on budget

yeah they are pretty different in that sence

def go for a daily, e39 5 series is a right comfy barge, £1000 should get a decent one, as long as you dont use a main dealer they not that bad parts costs wise and being bmw they go and go and go

after playing both i have to say i think i prefer horizon 2 lol I find the new menu system on 6 (may be the same on 5, i went from 4 to 6) hard to follow, the lack of ability to mod for races etc etc. Horizon the opponents just level with you
