O don't even mention PVD, saw one of their engines split apart last week and was shocking.

haha :D

why am i not surprised to hear that name in connection with dodgy dealings. He's setup as a tuner now you know, took him 5 goes to get his own 'built' car past 400. another inept clown

lmao, more to add to that list i would say, but bang on haha

Sounds like that quote is from a hillary supporter. Given how bent hillary is better of two evils i woudl say. Question is now, how long to hillary leaves the country rather than face charges?

Things are shaking up arn;t they. Brexit and this shows how out of touch politicians are with us plebs

yeah, also watch out for crap mappers, you can't just flash and go

cool, just checking. You'd be amazed how many people don't realise it

O time for a rant. That dippy ****** jimmy cranky, stupid fish woman. Old sturgeon is now on about tying to block article 50 being put in. Why doesn't she feck off. Sick to death of her opening her yap trying to get her own way against the majority. She seems to think the world revolves around scotland. She said Scotland would leave the UK and instantly be accepted into the eu if they voted to leave the UK in a second referendum, the EU told her to bollox and scotland would have to apply after leaving the UK. Which is a minimum of 2 year process to join. Assuming the EU can afford to have Scotland and fund another country. She seems to think scotland has a hope of going alone. Im not sure how she plans to finance that? Per head scotland has more money spent on them than anywhere else, who does she thinks pays for that? Should tell her fine, off you go, pull the funding from them, including all the ship building contracts, and leave them to it. When income tax goes up 15% (yep that's what it would take to even break even), people can say how glad they are they bothered to listen to her. Ahhhhhh, and breath

By a £1000 daily and keep the scoob for the weekend mate. the money you save in petrol costs will more than cover the costs of running a second car. Any big bills just sack the car off and buy a new one.

Hey it makes sense :D

As above, chuck it in the bank and spend it on something else. Subaru's get their power from turbo's so any gains when no turbo involved are minimal. option could be save and trade it in for a turbo model

Don't forget it will need mapping for the new turbo.

Bit laggier but got alot more top end basicly. Td04 has great spool but won't see above 290 on one so if you want more power bigger turbo is a must. Few different options depending on budget and goals though.

Haha why not? Lol Your Mrs is gonna think I'm a bad influence hahaha

Similar sort of power to a STI, will need fuel pump and a map

not got a hawk box on it unfortunately. end at 2004 non dccd on the 6 speeds uk

JDM is shorter than UK yeah. But ratios are more about where it delivers power

Depends on what 6 speed and what 5 speed.

The differing ratios work better on different engines depending on gear change points and so on, I onyl had this explained to me the other week when i was looking at what ratios to go with, i'll try to explain but i may be waffling haha. To start with you need to look at the differences with the engines, 2.0 is a more revy engine, so typically nothing happens till 4-4.5k rpm and pulls up to 7.5k on a jdm sti, so its typically a slower spooling setup and pulls harder higher up the rev range. 2.5 prefers to have low down load and produces alot more torque, so tends to pick up from 3-3.5k (varys depending on setup of course) but once you hit 6.5k it tends to drop off the power band. The extra torque the 2.5 produces can mean if the ratios are too short, the turbo will never make full boost because the engine is pushing hard enough so that the turbo can't fully spool before it runs out of revs. aka you end up with 3rd gear pulling harder than 2nd gear. A shorter ratio means your loading it at higher revs so suits a 2.0, where as a longer ratio will building load lower down the rev range and suit a 2.5. So that said the choices i had were, 1, UK Hawk 6 speed DCCD, ratios designed to work on a 2.5 2. JDM 6 speed gearkit DCCD, ratios designed to work on a 2.0 Given i'm running 2.5 and its already kicking out 380ftlb at 3.5k on the dyno (road is quicker spooling than on a dyno), that figure is only going to go up with the boost increase, so short ratio gears won't be as critical because i will be changing gear more than on power if they are too short hahaha. Hope that makes sense lol

welcome

Haha :D hope its an enjoyable read :) Type r's already have DCCD, so its just a like for like swap basicly. 6 speeds come with or without DCCD, hawk box has the right ratios (bear in mind i;ve gone from 2.0 to 2.5) and retains the DCCD (which i wanted to do). I think it got chucked on the scrap pile up at clinic im afraid. I can ask if they have any though, fairly frequently get duff turbos in

Welcome :)

welcome :)

they do more than one i bet. What was the old ear bleeder called, supperdragger or summit like that?
