Agreed not the good news Nige,but hopefully we will source JDM big port heads again without the crack, which will/can be difficult

GTX3076 63A/R is turbo which we would like to have and Neil recommend us too this turbo

Little update:

We're bought Syvecs S6 PnP again for our wagon and we will go with I/O Expander,not sure if we will go with Syvecs one or TimH I/O expander,but from speaking with Tim looking like both I/O expanders are comparable in many ways,price will be hope so too comparable


Features on I/O Expanders are nice like on board barometric pressure sensor,on board EGT amplifier,on board 2XCANbus and GPS and plus have on board Bosch LSU amplifier,which will allow us to run Bosch LSU 4.9 which are regarded as good wideband sensors and they're cheaper too

Block should be assembled this week,but main issue are now heads, which we will need to have,we are want to run 2.5L heads but looking like we will go with JDM or Spec C heads,two guys selling the JDM Big port and this week,when everything will be OK we are going for them,hopefully they're OK and without the cracks

As sim says sounds awesome but I dont have a clue on the tech stuff

[jura11]

Hi guys

In many ways is simple thing

When you in future will be buying Syvecs S6PnP you should be OK with standard inputs/outputs what have Syvecs as standard.

Here is our example:

We are running right now out the inputs,we have currently fitted Oil Temperature,Oil Pressure,Fuel Pressure,ACT(Air charge Temperature),NOS control and LC(Launch Control) switch.

In total is 5 inputs,now we have 1 free input and one EGT(K-Type/Thermo),which we can use on the NOS bottle heater/FFS(Flat Foot Shifting),Fuel Level sensor etc...

If we are want to use all those functions we will need 4 extra inputs and this I/O expander allowing us to have all this plus extra we will get Bosch LSU amplifier(as standard Syvecs using only NTK sensors,which are in general expensive),GPS(great for datalogging on track days) and other functions which I post above.

All those sensors(oil pressure,oil temp etc) you can always datalog or if you want them to see as gauge you can go route of the JTi Toucan or Digital dash.Toucan with all sensors is good investment on the Syvecs/AlcaTek,everything is all in one and you don't need at least gauges for everything if you want to see

Second good thing to have those sensors fitted is your mapper can adjust them,for example if oil temperature is under 70C you are in have limited performance(Limp mode) or if your Fuel pressure drop under value which has set your mapper engine will cut(this happens to us on Brands Hatch,at the end Fuel Pressure sensor has been faulty and he cut the engine to protect the engine) or when is Oil pressure too low,engine will cut or will go to Limp mode etc.,

Broadly speaking is worth the money,many people will carry out the driving(on track days or on the fast road driving) too with very low oil pressure or low/very high Oil temperature,with this Limp mode you will be forced to take car on side road or on the track days to Pit and check if everything is OK,at the end can be just something like happens to us Fuel pressure sensor has been faulty,if its just faulty sensor is good day,rather have faulty sensor than broken engine

First investment is higher,but at the end you will need gauges to have for controlling all those functions,if you are comparing price for Defi gauges(One gauge usually cost around £100-£150,some more cost) and you will need at least 3(with fuel pressure 4) and if you want to see the your AFR(Lambda) this means you will need 5 gauge(but you will need with integrated Lambda amplifier/controller and cheapest cost around £120) plus you will need sensors etc and at the end will cost you lot less than Toucan and full sensor pack

Shame Toucan is only available for Syvecs and AlcaTek,but when we are speak with Tim,he working on the OBD version for cars which have OEM ECU

Hope this help guys and if you have any question please ask,I'm happy to answer to your questions

Little update:

We are bought Saturday H&S Rotated setup with GT35r and Turbosmart Pro-Gate Wastegate.This kit is good,but we are now deciding what will be best to do,keep the this kit or go with Front mounted turbo setup:boggle:

With front mounted turbo setup our wagon will be unique/one off and really we are decided go with Front Mounted Turbo setup and GT35r,my brother like this idea

We are have promised ScoobyClinc GT30r,but seller decided to sell to someone else,shame about this,we will be running GT35r for now,if will be too big and laggy on this setup,but don't think will be laggy,just due we will eb using few things which will bring the spool to lower RPM

Still we don't have JDM Big port heads and looking like on Wednesday we are gong on one set have look,hopefully they will be OK for our build,if not we are stuck:tear:

[jura11]

Few updates:


Neil started build the block which should be ready this week and will send me the pictures later on and i will post when we are receive them

We are today been at Leeds pick up again JDM big port heads and we are nought again wrong set,everything is OK on them,just head faces are not flat,they're have spits and will needs to be skimmed and this will ruin compression

At moment we are have 3 sets of the heads,one set of the cracked heads,which are OK for moderate power,but not for 600bhp,

Second set are Spec c heads,but on them will needs to be done valve reseating(as Neil said,he never seen Spec C heads in such state),plus there are missing cap bolts and valve caps

Third set is for which are been today are not good too and for us are useless,as Neil said,they will needs to be regardless skimmed but we can end with compression and in our case,is not the best option and Neil those don't recommend to use

Literally we are fed up with that and really is almost joke to have 3 sets of the heads,which are in such a poor state,in our case we can have build whihc is without the problems

Today we are learn,our mum have stomach cancer(we are spoken with sister about this,she said looking not good) and really not the best start to New Year in every single way:censored:

Hi there

Not sure,we are not been at Neil,as Neil said block should be finished this week and after that he will be doing heads

We are still don't have heads,if we are not source the JDM big port heads,we will be going with UK STi heads

Jura

Hi there

CDF droplinks we are running,they're OK,just would advise to use different bushes on them(speak here to Alyn@AS Perfromance),although we are still running same bushes as we are bought them

We have them fitted only on front and at rear we are using adjustable rear droplinks

Jura

[jura11]

Little update:

Engine is built last week,just waiting on painting on black and later on Neil@Slowboy racing will send us pics

Today we are been at Jap Performance parts and bought the JDM Spec C(S204) heads,after ringing almost everyone,we are bought them and they're in great condition(no cracks etc) and Neil has been happy with them like we are

Price for them has been OK and fair,wish we are contacted before about the bare heads as we don't need cams,valves etc.

Neil will start work on the heads this week and heads should be ready in couple of the days

Hopefully now everything will be without the problem,but with our luck not sure

Here are promised pictures







We are very happy with this


Jura

[ralliart didz]

looks very nice jura you lucky chap

[Steve_PPP]

That looks awesome mate Black finish in the block looks cool.

[jura11]

Thanks guys really appreciated for comments,Neil done great job




Jura

[Hongkongfooi]

Looks quality jura

Excellent stuff Jura. Going back to the cams. At Jrm cams turned up there with both names stamped on them Kelford on one side & Cosworth on the other. Strange but true.

[jura11]

Thanks Tim

Thanks Nige,Cosworth using for their cams Kelford or for their rods Carrillo,Gates timing belts for their timing belt kits etc.

[jura11]

Little update:


My brother has been in USA to buy few last bits for build and looking like we are have everything(just guys from No Limit Motorsport will send us OEM Engine Gasket Kit,they don't have this at stock,they're sold last one )

We are bought those bits:

TCK328RB(Gates Kevlar Timing belt kit)

Subaru OEM 11mm Oil pump

Cobb Oil Cap

KillerB Performance Oil Baffle / Windage Tray

NGK BKR8EIX(which should be OK,but still we will need get Racing 8's_

OEM Engine Gasket Kit(which should be sent to us this week)


Neil said everything should be put together this week or next week,after that on the side of the turbo kit,we will see what needs to be done or not,but hopefully everything will be without the problems



Jura

[jura11]

Quick update:

Looking like wagon should be on road end of the month or beginning of the April if everything will be going as should and without the problem

My brother(Latso) wants to start his Pilot course (0-APL) in June and me,not sure,I will keep posted and updated,but looking like now he decided move to his new job and start his Pilot course

Here is quick video what I've taken few months ago and finally I got time to edit the video




Jura

[jura11]

Quick update:

We are been today at Neil@Slowboy racing and we are speak about the project and progress,at this stage doesn't looking good

We would love to have fitted front mounted turbo setup,but looking like this will only prolong build and will be too expensive to fit,which means we are selling this kit and we are now deciding what will be best rotated setup with 30r/35r or simply stock location MDX321V/SC54/MDX555 and run 75-100hp NOS jet and AEM water methanol and with this stock location turbo we should make 600bhp

Plan is to have car build and enjoy,but looking like our wagon can be soonest on the road in April

Just wish we are never went with 2.35L build


Jura

[Scooby Hoo?]

Chin up guys. I know that projects always have there problems and need a lot more work than a basic engine swop. But when you have the car back on the road all the little problems will soon be forgotten and frowns will become BIG smiles.
To quote Buzz Lightyear To infinity and beyond

[SUBARMAN]

Good luck to you!!

you still got the twisted kit jura because its well worth putting a gt35r or a 30 as spool is

stick with it it'll be great!

[jura11]

Thanks guys

More news we will reveal in next few days


Jura

[jura11]

Few latest updates:

Hi guys

After much more deliberation,deciding what to do,we are deciding to break project and we are putting stop on the project for time being(we will decide in coming few days what to do),we are taking the wagon from Neil@Slowboy racing..

Reasons for this are simple,this project cost us much more than we are expected in first place and cost us lot more than just money....

My brother fund this project few last months from his job pay plus he used on this project his pilot course money,but few days ago everything has changed too much in both sides

Project before what we are done before(2.1L),has been different in many ways like I've work and we are both worked and have good jobs and money has been our last worry

Neil worked on this project alone and we would like to thank you for this,our plan has have wagon on the road somewhere this month,but looking like we will have this ready maybe in end of the April,early May...

But we are lost patience and we are have fear,we will again receive our wagon in winter and due this we are taking the wagon from Neil and we will decide if we will continue or we will break this project

I will update everything in coming few days,when we will know what we will be doing,my brother has decided and for me this is worst nightmare(if we will be breaking our wagon,this will break my heart,its very sad for me in many ways)

Thanks for reading

Jura and Latso

[bonner]

thats a shame mate!! alot of work has gone into the motor was looking forward to seeing the wagon in a future meet!! hope all goes well either way good luck bud

[Steve_PPP]

Sorry to hear this Jura

[Hongkongfooi]

You have pm

[jura11]

Hi guys thanks,really appreciated for this

When we are started this project situation has been different,but when we are learn our mum has have cancer,everything has changed like in the personal matter or financially

Time will tell,if its good idea,but I know,would love to have finished this project and enjoy some track days and some drag runs

Wagon will be at friend garage and where we will decide what will be best

I will keep thread updated when I will know for sure what we will be doing

Jura

[jura11]

Few latest updates:


OK guys,we are been on Wednesday at Neil@Slowboy racing speak about the what to do next and we are continuing with the project

Looking like our Mondeo ST will be sold tomorrow or today and we will use money from this on the project plus we will need again buy second smaller car(friend selling his Lexus IS200 TTE for £500 which we are thinking to get as second car plus we are still have LPG from Impreza)

As Neil said is shame to break this project just due we are not too far from finish the project and he wants the finish this project.

Neil said he now don't taking the bookings for this week and he will be working on this project,as he said hopefully everything will be in place this week

We are bought yesterday last bits as Crank sensor,cam sensor,thermal spacers(Thanks Matty@Pole Position UK),HDI FMIC(Thanks Ian) and rotated setup(Thanks Ciaran),AVCS Cam/timing belt covers plus few other bits needs to be bought,but is not so much as before

Thanks for reading and thanks for support guys

Jura and Latso

[bonner]

good stuff would be good to see the wagon up and runnin in the flesh!!

[Charlie]

Can't wait to see what that 2.35 goes like!

[SpecB]

Glad you've decided to finish it!

[Anger]

I've never known anyone change there find so much that wasn't female haha

Glad your going to keep going with the build

[ralliart didz]

jura let me no what the lexus is like as a drivers car as ive always liked this model. the one your getting has the supercharger kit fitted,is that right.if so theres a kit on this site and he wants a grand for just the kit,so £500 for car is a bargain.http://leeds.craigslist.co.uk/ptd/3710451626.html

[jura11]

Hi guys thanks

Paul we are done just 100 miles with this and really our findings are good,nice handling in corners,awesome noise(he give us Japspeed exhaust) and everything is OK,everything is working as should,no nasty bangs,suspension is great(silky smooth on bumpy roads),interior is too good,just we will need sort few small bits(nothing expensive)

This model has come as supercharged but previous owner(not our friend) removed supercharger and this kit from craiglist I've seen,but at moment we can't justify buy this kit,maybe later on when wagon is on the road.

And again guys thanks


Jura

[jura11]

Few updates:

Engine is build and Rotated setup is bolted on(just Neil waiting on the heatwrap and gaskets for 35r etc),hopefully will be dropped to engine bay next week and then just run-in map etc.

We are bought yesterday last bits like RCM Big Cone(RCM25) and 100mm Spun Aluminium Induction Trumpet(RCM585)

Here are few pics of the engine etc.
