as long as its 95ron shouldn't make any difference. need to get the code read to see what it says

is it a turbo'd model?

pushing a standard 2.5 to 400 it wont last long at all unless its been forged so sounds optimistic, has it had any engine work done? how sure are you the dyno is accurate and it's the correct one for the car? It wouldn't be the first time i've seen a photoshop dyno chart

Link is good on a slightly lower budget. lower than that your pretty much into stock ECU

Best ecu out there is syvecs, but you wont get much change from £2000, if any.

Welcome

Original 22B parts are rare as hens teeth, your only option might be to go to a subaru dealer, with proof of ownership (not 100% sure exactly what paperwork they require) and see what they can get hold of, be prepared for a massive dent in your wallet though. Wings for example are about £2k a pop :o although i realise its not wings your after. Other place is possible https://www.importcarparts.co.uk/

seems to be depends who you ask. even me and the mrs dont agree hahaha

welcome

td04 on a hawk wrx i believe

sell him instead 😉

prices for em seem to be a bit all over, some without forging are 14-15k so i dont think its too bad given the spec. trader has it at 15, website has it at 16 :s

looks like it may have been rebuilt by clinic, if so worth a call to em to see what the crack is with it

do you mean the engine is fully forged? got a link to it?

As long as the map is done properly it wont add any strain. A remap is typically just reducing tolerance due to knowing the perimeters of the specific engine itself. Upping the boost will add some strain but a decent mapper shouldn't be overloading it anyway. So short version is no a full custom map wont give you issues assuming it is done correctly

May be a bit high maybe an hour but not by alot, keep in mind its a 10+ year old car and the bolts will be a right mess meaning extra time to sort them out. Your talking alot of components in that list, plus you have geometry setup time in that as well which for a proper job will be a good hour or two given its going to be a full setup.

Gonna need a darn sight more than a few thou to get rid of those, it looks like its nibbled the edge of the piston. Your also going to affect the compression and reduce the strength of the piston by removing material. I would be junking anything like that and putting decent forged new pistons in. yes would cost extra money, but given the cost of a rebuild if they fail, its a small sum given the potential risk. Also advisable do to the bottom end again given the det that bad might well have cause the bearing to be nipped.

you'd really reuse pistons with that much damage on them?

given the damage i would suggest the whole thing needs stripping down, crank bearings will prob need doing, new pistons, as far as if block is ssalvageable need to see how bad the damage is and see if its still within tollerance

that piston is screwed. looks like you have had some det going on. Was it mapped after it was built? block/head surfaces dont look to great either, were they skimmed before the rebuild?

you might want to find out what the fault is rather than just turning it off 😉

yeah looks it, tbh you could either replace it with another double din sat nav (seem to be £150 ish for ebay special ), or just get a tom tom.

hahaha nice just need to get on the back of the DVLA 😄

i've found the suppliers of it, hahaha

got a pic of it?
