  1. Bonus, Alyns the main guy there. was talking to him last week in fact.
  2. http://asperformance.com/ isn't a million miles from newcastle, I'm not sure if they do general service work, but well worth a call to find out or get a recommended local place, Alyns a decent guy
  3. hmm, you know how you can get bhp gauges on some cars? i wonder if you can get a bdp gauge?
  4. lol you guys. as above oil temp, oil pressure and boost pressure.
  5. depends how far you wanna go. Basic drop in piston, head studs and gaskets is about £2000+vat, Fully forged ready for 450bhp is about £3500+vat. Cost once failed depends on damage, which could basically mean a whole new engine and prob double the price.
  6. have you got a specialist to check it out and put it on a dyno for you yet?
  7. It's pot luck whether they go or not. mapped, unmapped, moded, unmoded etc etc. Options are sell it, live with it and worry about it if you need to or pay to have engine sorted now. They don't all fail though, it's just a higher rate of failure than other cars.
  8. welcome. get some pics up, has it had much done to it?
  9. ah i get ya, what sort of budget you looking at?
  10. Sc36, md321 (not sure which version you need for that power). SC36 will pap all over all of those turbos mentioned for spool and peak but wont bea cheap because you will prob have to buy new as second hand ones are rare as hens teeth
  11. So, 1) tidgy- 5792.5 BDP - 393,890 BSP 2) mattie kane - 5337.5 BDP - 362950 BSP 3) stuartie - 4200 BDP - 285,600 BSP 4) fastboy67 - 6230 BDP - 423,640 BSP 5) Jay762 - 2,625 BDP - 178,500 BSP 6) aucky - 5,600 BDP - 380,800 BSP 7) Jamie_uk - 2625 BDP - 178,500 BSP
  12. Welcome. wouldn't a spec c be a better start?
  13. there's alot of ducks here,,,,, lol
  14. doh! bad news. Better news for me, parts I have been waiting for for two weeks have finaly landed in the UK and at the supplier, only hicup is he has 15 pallets to go through to find em before he can send them to clinic. Hopefully means week tomorrow i'll get the car back :) Assuming, touch wood (pats head), the weather holds off, dont think mapping a hopefully 400bhp type R is a good idea in snow and Ice, even if it is only a road test after dyno map lol
  15. Welcome. get some pics up :)
  16. what a 'proper' job that was,,,,, proper bodge it and scarper job hahaha
  17. recommended by specialists/tuners, oils one of those things that has a massive influence on an engine and isn't mega expensive to change. Even subaru UK admit the tuners know more than them lol
  18. So, i have been told that 1BHP = 17.5 BDP 1BDP = 68 BSP So calculate your car and add it onto the list, BDP,,,,,, Brake Duck Power pmsl 1) Tidgy - 5792.5 BDP
  19. As above, varying load and not sat at same revs on motorway etc, also use engine braking to help bed the rings in, find a nice long hill and just let it coast down the hill is good for that. As far as going from nothing at 1000 to all, no problem with it. by that time the rings will be bedded in and seals will be seated fine. Both my engine builds have had the same treatment, scoobyclinic have builds hundreds if not thousands of engines and always used the same method :) Can't map the car properly without taking it to full bost repeatedly
  20. 50 seconds sounds a long time, mine lasts about 5-10 seconds in position 2 before turning key to ignition
