Guess it was just a bodge fix thats failed again. Just need the shaft bit. Short shifter might be a nice little upgrade

get a petrol 😄 subaru diesels are known to be pretty crap, had big issues with breaking cranks.

that does make any sense, XV is only 2.0 :S

might be worth a read. Scoobyclinic are up at chesterfield and do all my work.

While warranty is valid i would suggest doing them as per the book (i'll ask me dad next time i see him what it says, his is a 2.0 petrol). although i do think manufactures are rather liberal with the truth about how long oil lasts before it needs changing. Turbo'd cars 5k or 12 months.

yeah they had to make way for some other crap that's now been removed.

where it is on the hawk :) thats not whats missing hehe

washer bottle is in front and blow the battery 😉

Guess whats home 😄 100 miles down, 400 nore to first ild change then another 500 before mapping. im sure something is missing in the 3rd pic hehe

Picked it up and drove it 😄 68 miles down lol

Don't bother, go aftermarket. Rare a second hand set comes up for sale because they are all replaced when they start nocking.

doh!

Engines now built and ready to go in the car, although ginna have the crabk pully repainted as it looks meh. Looks like it maybe ready for next sat but im busy so cant pick it up till thr week after 😞

Stroked my rebuilt engine hahaha

your gonna be limited by your gearbox, you can pick up a second hand vf35 from an sti for a few hundred for a decent one, if your feeling a bit more flush then an sc36 is hard to beat at that power level.

full on closed deck forged build. staying with the same turbo to start with so rough 340 ish

haha, miles of smiles 😄 mines currently in having the engine rebuilt hahaha

welcome. oil temp, oil pressure gauges hard to fit? Get a pro to do, it involves routing wiring etc, can be done DIY but you need to be good with the spanners injectors what cc is the best upgrade ? wont need to of your targets does fuel rail/pump need upgrading ? fuel pump is needed, walbro 255 or equivelant worth upgrading to 10mm ignition leads iridium plugs? ignition leads nope, plugs yes, pf7's also does anyone know a reputable gearbox re conditioner or would you suggest just gambling on buying a box as she has a grind into 4th when giving her death. I use scoobyclinic for all my work. is a electronic boost controller worth the gamble? or not worth it until turbo upgrade? nope, ecu controls the boost, no need even when upgrading the turbo best time for remap ? (after fitting what parts?) yes, no point in mapping then fitting parts as will need the map tw3eaking turbo timer worth it? nope, just drive it steady last few miles before you park up, much better for the car as it keeps fluid circulating so they cool evenly hope that helps :) p.s.. your limit is going to be the turbo, anything over 260 is a bonus.

whast the problem with it? whos said it's got a fault?

So bit more of an update. Slight delay due to what appears to be a faulty rod. Crank/rods were mock assembled to check tolerance and the rod bolts seized. Very strange as they have used the same method for hundreds of other rods and a replacement set for mine and no issues :S So short blocks is ready to go 😄

Welcome. As above, if you have only just bought it then take it back to the dealer 🙂

sounds like it might be from wrong year of car

Welcome, my dad had the optional spare with both his

Welcome

oe pretty big update. Finally a couple of box's arrived back from the machine shop 😄 Wasn't expecting much to happen for another couple of weeks due to not being first in build que, but poped up to clinic today to say hello to be greeted by this, So looks like unless something crops up it should be back in the car and all the new bits bolted on and ready to pick up to run in in a couple of weeks 😄
