Geez you'd have to be keen to take out a S8 on a road course. They do well for their size but it's still a whale.

 

Too big to be fast on a street course... but sounds awesome... this one has a very nice exhaust setup from llama.

Bought a 3inch stainless exhaust because quite cheap and shiney..

Looks loud sitting on the floor..:o

You know something is gonna be loud when it's sitting on the floor and you can already imagine the "Crap... My neighbours are gonna hate me" amount of loud it's gonna be.

It is indeed the EJ205. I think what I'm gonna end up doing is sleeving the CDB I blew up to 2.2L and then stroking it to 2.35. 

 

Something different that's not really done here and is known to work well overseas.

I like the sound of this... making me want to go down that route of making mine a 2.2.

I'd probably do a combination of stroke/bore - more stroke, for torque. Gotta have the 8000rpm redline though, WRX STI 6 speed gearing woooo

 

Thats the point of what I'm doing. 

 

With that 2.0 CBD you retain the strength with sleeving, and then convert to dual thrust.

 

go to 2.2L 96MM sleeve rather than the 2.5 99 (or 99.5 - 100 depending on your route), and hiff in a 2.5L crank. 

 

You get to keep for the most part the RPM's of a smaller 2.0 motor while having some of the torque or the 2.5. It's a good middle ground that not many people in NZ have caught onto yet, and I'm gonna run with it and see how far I can push it. 

 

Closed deck, sleeved and forged internals could see me well.

I've only heard of my car in nz with the closed deck 2.2l stroked to 2.35l which is why I bought it, might be a couple more but never heard of them. I believe the reason you don't see them in nz is because we never got the closed deck 2.2l block either domestically or imported from Japan (aside from a couple of 22b's).

Pretty sure he means boring out a 2.0 CDB and sleeving it, compared to yours being a factory 2.2 cdb.

Do you happen to know the rough weight of a 96mm piston?

I've read that the weight of the 99+mm pistons don't play nicely with the cheaper h beam rods (eagle h beam etc) and those engines are more prone to rod failure.

It must all help with engine longevity at the high performance end (lighter pistons being easier on the rods).

I'm probably gonna buy a V7 STI EJ207, close deck it, and forged internals - kinda like how the Speed Academy fellas are doing at the moment.

I'm gonna be building this engine up for a while, with the intent of throwing it in the car once it's all done, and I have everything ready for the swap to happen, like Haltech ECU etc as well.

 

First, MCA coilovers & Whiteline for the suspension, and upgrade the transmission/diffs, before engine happens.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
