I didnt swing by in the end, but been some more problems found so delayed it a tad more (only a couple of days) seems to be its had little to no major mechanical work since it was built having nock on effects with parts beibg damaged or ropey, rad is a bit worse for wear so is having a new one. due to pick it up one evening next week now, prob thursday

How much experience do they have with subarus?

Near 400 on standard pistons is taking a risk.

Already run it by the Mrs hahaha

I might pop in tomorrow in way home to check on what's going on hehe

At 330 will already be mapped. Need to upgrade the turbo to get more now.

Mine was april whem found engine was toast

Hahaha, ive not driven mine for 6 months so prob doesnt help lol

Im sat here at centre parcs on hils and im more excited abiut getting the scoob back in three days. Is this bad? Lol

Go back to subaru UK and ask them to contact the dealer cos there mucking you about.

Welcome. As far as model goes. Do you want balls out performance or more comfort?

Sc36 will do well. Hawk wrx was 500iirc so guess there the same

Popped up to clinic today top drop the mrs car off and check up on mine and how things are looking for next week. Found a few more bits that were worn out, inlet pipe is fooked so a new perrin one is going on, valve shims and buckets all had to be replaced so now got a set of supertech buckets and shims. But end result is good news, heads are built and attached onto block, final checks on them to make sure all good and then cam covers will go on and rest of the engine can be assembled. nice repainted inlet manifold and then a rats nest of wires to go back on lol Gearbox is done (5th gear syncro was worn) and ready to go back in, cars booked into the main workshop to have the engine and box fitted tuesday, few other bits and bobs before going off for mot and all being well next sat will be the day :D warning, kid at christmas mode on!!!!!!! hahahaha

problem is still the crap standard engine though

bad news indeed :( but tell him not too loose heart over it, my engine went after 3k miles and that was after it had been given a full health check over straight after i bought it.

oooooo, hello,,,,,,

not as big as expected tbh, but writing was on the wall. shall be interesting to see what it does when its back, run in and mapped up

Came across the origional graphs so thought i'd post them up. this was the day i picked it up and it had gone straight up for a check over, then after the syvecs, manifold, decat etc and to compare, was some gain in spool and peak but considerably lower than expected given the mods. and then the dreaded was found

that doesnt sound good, new pants needed? lol

Well a mate of mine would disagree, his didn't even get it fully run in before it spat its crank.

Holy cow, yeah that is gonna take some fixing :)

you've been very very lucky then.

If being left stood i'd invest in a battery conditioner, batterys dont like constant charge flat charge flat, i used to get through one a year when i was hardley using mine. Could well be the battery is now nackered, take it off and run it down to local battery place, they normaly test em for free. Just leave one of these connected and your battery charging trouble are sorted. http://www.amazon.co.uk/CTEK-4-Step-Battery-Charger-Conditioner/dp/B00JMJHZ4E/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1442230736&sr=8-2&keywords=battery+conditioner

I tend to find different tyre brands prefer different pressures as well.

with a 2.5 if the headgaskets go, you must do the crank bearings as well. clinic just finished rebuilding a hatch engine for someone who the previous company didn't and before it was even run in crank bearings failed.
