Project 2.35

[Anger]

After my 2.1 went bang 3 months ago after 2000 miles at 503bhp, ive now got Stew@ TFS Racing to build me a 2.35 cdb build.

Power wise im aiming the same, 500/500ish would be nice

2.2 block





Turbo wise it made sense to rotate at the same time

MD321V compared to GT30






Have a Hyperflow Monster FMIC to fit aswell and also picked up other parts like bigger rear diffuser, Bride seats and RCM exhaust







RCM Exhaust




And how the Trooper looks at the mo






Will update as much as possible when things change

James

[666subaru]

Good to see you are rebuilding the trooper James.

[Skullfudge]

All the best dude.
You deserve some luck !

Wont be long now mate. Maybe Germany soon to!

[Anger]

Germany is the Aim Nige

Good man

[C. J.]

Hope it works as well as mine does

[Anger]

I hope so Chris

[DukeBoy]

You should be happy with it once done

Yeah going fine, no issues with it (it's not an Evo), at the time with afew issues it wasn't worth it but now it's done it's def worth it, I know alot of people get fed up with there builds when they run into issues but it's def worth sticking at it. Don't really get over your way much now but if I get a spare evening I might pop over lol

[Scooby_Greg]

Good luck with the build James - look forward to seeing it up and running again. Still loving those Brides....

[Steve_PPP]

looks good James

Loving it mate, those seat look the nuts.

As said above, it will be good to see it back on the road mate and will be a cracker!!

[Scott.T]

looking good and will continue to be a beast no doubt.....

Rich two years of going to the Ring 4 Scoobs with blown engine's. One in flames at the side of the track on my 1st visit . Bad Build & wrong turbo did for me + some bad luck. Not the cars fault. Im sure if i had the same build on a Scoob it would of been the same story. Anger is only having this build now as his went bang. Was that down to it being a Subaru or a bad build? Anyway glad yours is running well Rich & may it stay that way.

[scooby doo]

Scoobs and Evo 's go pop as much as each other even in bog standard form, The early evo had crank walk, all scoobs eat bearings (mine did and was 100% standard)

I'm on the fence with both these cars as love scoobs but got a soft spot to own a evo3 at some point,

its just all jap turbo's pulsar's are the same but more weaker lol along with 200sx.

Anger your car does look great tho and the s202 spoiler suits it big time , should be puka when built then..

Another one is the rx7, as soon as a tip goes thats it lol, but got to say its probably one of the easiest engines to rebuild

[Anger]

Little Update

Brides are in and fitted the Hyperflow Monster FMIC

Stew has all the bits to start the build now and should hopefully be starting next week

Just a couple of pics of me spraying the fmic and the old Hybrid to show difference in size

Blimey mate, just a little bit bigger then

[Anger]

Weighed both and without the bumper bar the monster weighed slightly less

Never liked the gaps or route of the Hybrid mate

Our cars should be ready about the same time ish. As mine needs a map. Mmm Dave Rowe or James Rumsey both very good with Motec. Then Germany {MMMWWWAAAAHHA} evil laugh.

[ralliart didz]

got any pics of the brides in the car anger

[Anger]

Couldnt get any decent pics with the sun so bright yesterday mate and where the car was parked, will take some Saturday afternoon... all i can say is that your a lot lower when sitting in them

[ralliart didz]

i will pick you up a cushion from the oxfam

Come on the Trooper

[Anger]

UPDATE

Engines built and ready to drop back in, would have been in but someone forgot to order the gaskets i was suppose to order

Car should be back with me later this week, just need Simon to put a base map on and then to start the running in

Wrapped the headers with a different wrap that you dont need to wet and no itching after

[SpecB]

Looks like the Magma wrap I have to go on my downpipe - not sure about the cable ties though!

[Brad Wrx]

Well done dude, wont be long now,

[Anger]

Nearly there, just a few bits to fit back and muck about with

[Guy B]

Sweeeeet, looking forward to seeing this when its done

Superb mate, glad it's come back together for you.

So, overnight to Cornwall and back is it?

Fantastico!!! The storms back. Now lets go thunder on German shores. Only 2 weeks to go mate.

[tbtstt]

Hurrah, it looks like a complete car again!

It's like reading the thoughts of a young Winston Churchill

[kin quick]

Good luck with it James, it's going to be perfect when it's all mapped up and run in

I'm loving those Bride seats, absolutely gorgeous, good effort!!

[C. J.]

Good luck with the mapping today I believe or is it tomorrow ?

[Anger]

Just the base map Chris

38miles down

[jura11]

Nice one James

How many miles to go?





Jura

[Anger]

559 miles down and off to Plymouth Tomorrow to visit my Cousin who has just opened a sea front cafe

A few pics








And for the noise

[Scooby_Greg]

Good news James - good to see the trooper back and hopefully better than ever!

Errr your changing that system for Germany?

[Anger]

Nope

If your having that on for the German trip it must be louder than mine & i got banned!
Are you like me taking a bung?

That engine bay of yours looks like a plumbers nightmare. Complicated or what!

[Anger]

They just didnt like you for being a Northern tit.... Adrians is louder than yours

And thats with pipes removed from a standard car

James is your system RCM and am I right in saying it has no silencers at all

[Anger]

Silenced middle section mate... theres a pic in post 1

And yes full RCM

Oh yeah, see that now. I'm getting the getting system

[scooby doo]

That exhaust looks puka,

[Steve_PPP]

Great stuff mate and enjoy the drive to Plymouth today.

Although i have to agree with Nige, even with a mid-silencer surely its going to get noticed at the Ring barriers with that back pipe?

[Anger]

If ive driven all the way to Plymouth without my Mother moaning it cant be bad... Same cant be said about the seats lol

823 miles done

Got to be worth taking a spare back box , just in case mate.
Long way to go to not get on.
Hey Nige

So you picked the end of a bank holiday weekend to drive back from the West Country? How was the traffic?!

oh, and good luck tomorrow with the mapping

[Anger]

Roads were clear... less than 4 hours back from Plymouth with no boost is not bad, with fuel stops and on the A303

Well ????????

Its rather quiet on here, come on James dont keep us in susspence

[chrisp]

Been keeping an eye on Facebook too in case he puts the results on there

[ralliart didz]

glad its sorted anger,wot about some pics of them lush bride seats.

[Mortster]

I told it made so much power, it created a temperal time vortex and took James and car back in time a day. He's currently still running it in....again

JAMES!!!!! Come on mate, put us out of our bloody misery you git!!

[Anger]

Fook No lol

Wastegate was to small and held it back, but saying that i was happy with the result

494bhp 450lbs/ft at 1.7 bar on V-power with smaller exhaust housing 63.

So more to improve with bigger wastegate and meth

Now it seams ive made myself ill with lack of food and sleep, had to be helped out of the car when i got home.... not good

So big thanks to Stew and helpers at TFS and Simon/Charlie for all there help at Surrey rolling road today

Night night

James

[2-jaffacake-tone]

wicked mate,nice results

[kartingsteve]

Anger good to see it well on its way

[Hongkongfooi]

well done James...should be fast enough for that evo at the ring

Nice one James, great result.
Now get some bloomin rest

Top notch mate, good job

Well worth the hard work and hours put in matey

And with more to come from it, you must be pretty bloody happy

Now go and kick that short northerners butt!

Well done mate good figures. Bet your glad you didnt break it now! Hard work done now let's go to meet some Germans & enjoy.

Oi Worzel im not short, a little Rotund maybe

[SpecB]

Good figures - bet it spools up quick too! Have a good run!

[AndyWRX]

mmmmm looks rather tasty dude, feel free to pop round mine at 3am and make as much noise as you like seeing as the neighbours round my way think its fine to let their kids out at 6am screaming and shouting

[Anger]

Safety devices 6 point roll-cage with door bars should be with me in the next few days

The car is going to do the E$$EX Tunnel run and then is coming off the road for the winter

Things to do list

Strip all weight that isnt needed out
Lose most of the stereo gear
Paint inside
Fit Roll-cage

List will grow over the winter

[C. J.]

Wish I could of done a group buy for the cage lol
I take it the carpets & rear swat are staying out then ?
Good luck with the list

There is something missing off that list! It starts with an M & has an O in it.

[Anger]

Mushroom... Mogwai

MOGWAI??? I have no idea what that is but it did make me laugh. Try saying it really fast five times Ha! Ha!

[Anger]

Think of Gremlins Nige

Is it....

Moist?
Mingehole?
Mahogany?
Missionary?
Moonpig.com?

Give us a clue Nige!

I had to pm him in the end. It's all a bit hush hush.

Oooooooh, Secret Squirrels!

[tbtstt]

I was going to take an educated guess, but if its a secret I won't...

[Anger]

Getting the car ready for Cage fitting

[Tomma]

blimey how long did that take!?

what sort of cage are you putting in?

[Anger]

ive been doing it an hour here and an hour there mate... prob about 5 hours in total
All the front is stripped as well now

Ive got a Safety devices roll cage from a Time Attack car

Nice one James, Going to be fully caged then for Germany

[Tomma]

That's a lot of graft!

Should look pretty smart and serve its purpose too!

[Anger]

The car had a few grand spent on Stereo equipment before I got it and they went a bit mad with sound deadening.... Dynamat is a bitch to get off compared to the normal subaru stuff mate

[Tomma]

Must of shed a few kilos tho, are you going to do anything else interior wise once the cage is in?

I'm sure i've seen a couple of imprezas with the spare wheel well cut out??

[Anger]

Will be stripping the back doors and cutting the spare wheel well but will prob wait till later in the year with so much coming up fast

[Anger]

Been after a spare set of wheels and just got these

[Hongkongfooi]

Genuine bbs challenge? Very nice, would be my wheel of choice on a p1 but just as nice on a newage

[Anger]

Compomotive cxt's mate

[Anger]

All sound deadening removed, couldn't believe it was on both skins of the rear doors, they have gone from sounding like a Golf to a classic

Roll cage should be installed for the weekend and my Rotas have gone off to Maggs at Ruislip tyres for a refurb and a change of colour

Nearly ready to start the interior painting soon what will do a lot for the looks, still deciding if to cut the spare wheel well out as I can't be arsed to fabricate another backbox hanger

Will update pics later in the week

I like the wheels mate. :EVO:

[Anger]

Think the hearse needs lowering now.... Two scoobs to mod Do'h
