I stand corrected 😜

Ah man, never a truer word spoken lol

I would go with it mate, a road map is just as good if not better than an rr map I think, in hindsight I should have had a road map when I got mine done or at least have had the car finished off on the road after the rr, if the guy has got all the gear you should be fine I'm sure he should be wearing det cans for the map, so a good afr and no det and most of all good driveability is what your after

yeah I know lol, there are actual flash maps as opposed to flashing the ecu, ironically the place that did mine (prior to me owning it) was actually called "flash remapping" and it really was a generic map, load of tosh, even messed with the drive by wire map to make it "seem" quicker/snappier

I didn't think you could run a car in on fully synth, too good an oil, glazes the bores leading to high oil consumption and tad lower compression ?

Yer, flash remaps are BAD, wanna see a picture of my piston or what was left of it lol

Have you got any cylinder heads for a hawkeye wrx engine

Mornin guys n gals, just wondering if anyone has a good condition td04 knocking about cheap for a 07 hawkeye, thinking of changing mine out due to shaft play

Sad times but with fond memories

Wow, interesting story ! Shall keep an eye on how it goes, sorry I can't help but kept us posted as the car progress

Welcome to the madhouse 😆

I like the sound of that mr tidgy, looks like an 18g turbo will keep the torque down a bit while still giving up to 380, been lookin at kinugawa turbos or mamba gtx2871

Ok cheers mate 👍 Taking out all the massively expensive turbos I could get, are these td05 20g any good

Hahahahaha, twas my thinking exactly lol

O......K......🤔

Might be prudent to bung a decent used one on I spose 🤔

Nope, changed my mind, it'll get a 6 speed as and when, the car only owes me £1200 as it stands, so if I throw 4 or 5 grand at it it'll be worth it, ok ....plan is.... Build engine to do 400, get it mapped to 325 ? Can they do that ? Or just get it mapped to 350 and be gentle, then save for a 6 speed conversion, Can I put a 400bhp turbo on and have it mapped down and still drive nice ?, might have to sell some stuff to move it along :)

Yep, that's what I'm reading mate 350 max 😕

You may have a valid point lol, when I said to the wife that I will take her car, she said "will it fit in there" yes I said, it's only this big (made size of shortblock with my hands) oh, says she, is that how big an engine is (knowing full well it's not) , no , says I, that's just the bottom end without heads and stuff....... Probably shoulda kept that bit quiet haha

Gonna take the wife's x3 to pick it up as its diesel and has 6 gears and cruise

Oh it's also coming with their 5 layer head gaskets to take the standard heads

Yeah, I think I'm in for the long haul with this one, it's gonna take more than one Xmas list to get this done, but I want it right, I don't see myself doing a 6 speed conversion tbh, and I don't want any more than 400bhp, so hope a 5 speed can handle that ? I don't want to have the engine anywhere near its limit as I want it to last so 400 on a 500 build should be good I hope , I don't think I'm gonna need sti heads for that, I don't know if I'm gonna need new headers either, I will have to find these things out, brakes is defo a good idea tho 😳

I would go for a late blob or get your engine pulled and change the Pistons for peace mind or you will never get this thought outta your head........ Ask me how I know lol

Spose I will want a turbo that can run 400 then run it at 375/380 ?
