How about a thread for funny giffs,

cheap turbo's are just poor quality copies, they tend to not perform and not last very long.

tgv delete adds no power, they only work for about 30 seconds when the car fires up, they can however cause issues if they fail, so people remove them for reliability rersons.

iirc side feed is v1-4 classic only, although im not 100% on that so need to confirm with supplier

it will need mapping for the front mount, should still idle ok so you may have nocked a sensor or coilpack adn thats cuasing the duff running

someone else will have to answer that as im not fully up on the codes

depends if its a garage or just a dyno place with a mobile mapper.

will need mapping as soon as they are fit as the fueling will be waaay too much. but they will do the job

just confirm with them they are the right fitment

yeah for that power level the sti's should be fine, need to make sure they are flow match and tested before use though if they are second hand

looking back at my emails mine are decapped and flow matched standard hawk sti ones, bear in mind its very different application though as they are good for 500+

uh, you dont know whos mapping it? is it on a dyno? injectors or fpr should do it. i cant remember what brand mine are tbh

whos mapping it? really bad as engine will lean out, but decent mapper will see it and stop the run. At that point its a choice between getting what you can and backing off the map, or swappng parts

will find out when its maped, its one of those that some cars are ok, some dont. might be able to find some sti injectors that will do the job

should be ok with FPR, but no way to tell till its tried. inlet pipe wont be a limiting factor so no need

ah sorry, missed the turbo swap, will be a vf35 i expect so should see 320 ish assuming it has the fuel, may need a fuel pressure reg and 3 port boost sol to get the best form it

whp is an americamism and not used over here. 280 will be at the flywheel though factor in about 25% loss (varies depending on alot of factors), so roughly 210 at the wheels

as above, leave it alone. the map will be a better fit for the car than the stock generic one.

varys from car to car, i;d expect somewhere around 280ish as the turbo will be maxed.

it wont last at 400 i can tell you now, may people try to get away with it and it always ends with rods and pistons the wrong shape. Dont forget these car are now 20 years old so not alot new is doen that hasnt been done or tried before. 6 speed form any year will be fine at that power level, its gonna be more about getting it to fit, widetrack will mean hubs etc all bneed to be done as well and iirc the driveshaft is the wrong length for a classic.

does the key still work maubaly? also what fobs are they? if sigma have a read of this, http://www.scoobypedia.co.uk/index.php/Knowledge/ReprogramAlarmRemoteControls done it several times to various models

aftermarket so i'd try googling the brand and see what youc an find out, i cant quite read the name from teh pics

if they are the same age they will have the same underlying chassis, however there are wing, crash protection, and even material differences between them. that said, classic use same chassis bug-hawk use same chassis but with more structual differences hatch is individual and im not 100% on the ones following that

hawk wrx box is designed for 2.5 so longer ratios. i ran one at 390bhp 420 ftlb for about 14k miles no issue on a forged 2.5 hawk. options are, A - hawk 5 speed, at that power at the top of its limit (assuming 450) and no telling how long it will last B - Have your box rebuilt with a gear kit, but need to be carefull what gear kit you use as they have different ratings, also allows ratio changes and can be custom set for what youw ant (short ratio 1-4, lonnger motorway gear 5th), wont get much if any change from £2.5-3k. I have straight cut ppg gearkit in my old car and sounded epic haha C - 6 speed from an sti, which is by far best option simialr price to rebuild with gear kit, downside is its 90kg heavier setup had to decided on this option several times and tried em all haha, One thing i did note was you say your engine isnt forged, if not forget anythign about 350 unless your planning on rebuilding again.

came out to mine back end of last week and i've seen more life in a dodo. as flat6 says i chucked my ctek on it and its now always charged. i bought a cable extension for it so it now runs under my garage door and to the car without leving any connectors exposed.
