The system is a proper !Removed! to bleed, top it yp again and seeing that sorts it.

as above, unless your parking it for weeks at a time you shouldnt have any battery charge issues unless there is a fault somewhere

cheers 🙂

temporary its a proper annoyance, but it does sort itself out, eventually,,,,

If your serious about selling it i dont think you'll get anywhere near that.

Ah bummer 😞 although I'm not surprised

Anoyingly they are always cheaper direct.

cheers 😄

once the damage is done, its done

i would always have it mapped after an engine build, bear in mind your changing the whole internal airflow of the engine, the bores will be slighlty enlarged due to material removal during honing etc etc not to mention you wouldn;t want to be runnign the map from a duff engine on a nice new one

not always, check engine light is as reliable as the 2.5 hahaha

welcome, no matter what you do you wont get much more power out of it unless it's a turbo model, so if you want to mod then looks is about your only option 🙂

thread fail, no pics,,,, hahaha get some pics up lad

never good news 😞 It depends on what you want really, if your sure your not going over 350 then replace with stock and reuse what you can (bear in mind they need to strip it to see exactly whats gone wrong and what damage there is, sounds like heads will need a refresh). If your maybe thinking about upping the power at some point then may as well do the rods and pistons while its apart as it saves doing them later. should be good for mid 400's at that point. The best bet is have a chat with Kev and see what spec he advises, they have built and tuned hundreds of them over the yeas so know whats worth doing and whats not to achieve reliability at certain power levels.

welcome mainly dress up stuff by the looks of it, header tank, pipes changed (blue ones), chrome battery cover, chrome fuse box cover, oil filler cap, belt cover, carbon dipped air feed and some of the chrome covered bits, dump valve and strut brace.

thats good news 🙂 keep an eye on it but sounds liek you may have got a cheep fix 😄

should be a sealed systems so shouldn't be a hissing

you need to get it checked out properly dude, you dont wanna keep trhashing it or you may scrap your whole engine

try clinic they may have one lol

2.5 built right will do 500bhp no problem, built right is the important bit 😉 jdm hawk is indeed a 2.0 twin scroll, bear in mind doesnt have proper forged pistons though, neither does anything newer than bug of course.

06 sti will be a 2.5

not far off, i kjnow a 500bhp silver with amonster spec for £16k

Scoobyclinic up at chesterfield do all my work. They've done several engines for me iver the years, including my current closed deck forged 2.5.

Oi oi savaloy

Yep, getting to 350 is relatively cheap, after that you never get much for your money
