Aiming for around 1000 which will max current injectors. Unless I get chance to change them first. Have had 600 on a couple of cars running one of these.
|
What sort of torque will it end up with if you get the 1000bhp :twisted: will the gearbox cope? :ninja: :shock:
|
I will restrict the torque so as not to lift the heads etc.
The sequential dog box arrives later this week so hopefully that wont break |
Gearbox repaired and ready to install again.
Thanks to Stew @ TFS racing for collecting it today http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/a...F6214A404C.jpg Simon |
I have been manic with work so not had chance to do anything on the car myself.
In the mean time Stew and Ian have done a fair bit. The clutch hub for the carnetic clutch I use I bought a replacement to match the new larger input shaft on the new box. Unfortunatly because the input shaft is machined to mount to an impreza flywheel but isnt an impreza diameter we have a minor issue with the clutch hub. Have a solution but only 80% happy with it. Talking with carbonetic about them possibly making a one off for it, either that or I have to change to a different make of clutch but the current one has been very good and so when something works I try not to change. This is delaying box fitment. In the meantime another gearbox has been fitted to ensure the engine is in the correct position and Stew has cracked on with making the new manifolds for the new turbos :) http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/a...E09538D8F2.jpg Simon |

Looks like Santa has come early this year!!
do you think it will be back running again soon or with the new turbos before the sequential box is in? |
No gearbox to run it on other than sequential :)
|
Those turbos look very cool :ok:
I assume you have arch liners to refit to stop crap getting in the engine bay, does the turbo pipework get in the way? |

Stews been working like crazy :)
Wastegates now on and manifolds complete. Downpipes and turbo plumbing and filters left to do :) Simon |
Are the filters going to come through the light housings?
|
Few options on filters but not decided fully yet
|
Stews worked another blinder.
Turbos mounted and wastegates and downpipes http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/a...1A6C7900EF.jpg More to do as always :) Simom |

One of the options and probably ;)
|
Not much room for a std shape cone, possibly a mushroom filter? Or sod it and run them open!
|
|
I can see a set of these poking out of there!

Not big enough?
|
Turbo inlets are 102mm
|
we have a main account with K&N if its of use Simon.................can access their tech support if required as they often have listings that dont come up with a general search
|
Thanks Alyn.
Have ordered some fine mesh to get it running, will measure up :) |
Woke up with full on man flu this morning. So the paperwork I was intending doing got ignored and I removed boot lid, hinges, lock etc and fitted the v light fibreglass boot I forgot I bought years ago with bonnet pins.
Needs painting etc Saved a fair bit of weight so need 1 less bhp now :) http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/a...AB3B55146E.jpg http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/a...AB2EAB7FA0.jpg Stews done a cracking job of mounting turbos, only exhaust wrap and oil and water to go http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/a...AB3E21CAA1.jpg Simon |
I've been following closely on KentScoobies 22b and here, great thread and progress as always, Simon.
|
well they do deffo sound nice.
I dont think normally aspirated it will do much over 300bhp.. I cant remember what my was but we did do a run at 0boost and it was fairly impressive but I have fairly wild cams. you wouldnt want the expense really I assume of a standalone ecu unless you went for the cheaper options like mega skirt etc.. which arent very nice. I would be inclined to install the original ecu and loom just shortenned and stripped of unneeded items? |
Thanks Simon appreciated, you responded very quickly whilst I moved my query to my original thread, thanks again. There is a blue race impreza which is NA using solid lifters from a BMW?? I guess to raise the rev limit. have you heard of this conversion at all. The other option I was considering was the light pressure turbo option 5 psi or there abouts. What needs to be done to the standard internals for this route? What can the standard internals cope with?
|
I have converted or more accurately steve at smg converted my heads to solid lifters from another impreza engine.
I know the car you mean. I would assume the standard internals would take that. The cams are very lame but could be reground to slightly increase lift and duration which would help |
Thanks Simon, loads of other questions but not my thread, perhaps our paths will cross at some point and you'll let me bend your ear a little.
All the best, Mike. |
No problem :)
Sounds interesting |
Great read as always, love your solution for `Man Flu`:five:
|
Couple of hours spent today, swapped lens about to reveal the new billet gt30 high beams
http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/a...FF6B92433C.jpg http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/a...001371532E.jpg Will add mesh filters to keep small animals and children being sucked into the turbos :) Simon |
Quality.... :10::worthy:

That looks quality :D I guess you won't be running the car in the wet though, don't want the turbos to ingest water?
Looks great though, being able to see the turbine through the headlamps is the nuts lol |
I have a few different filter ideas, a couple of which address the water issue... I want to test them out to see if there is a gain having it ramair through the headlight or not.

Looks the nuts, should make a difference on tracks and strip!
