    personally I would not put a front mount on, this won't gain any power, if anything it will probably lose power.

    I did this mod and lost 4 kw atw from 210-206 on my 2000 type ra sti. The lag from the piping is bloody annoying too. Capper tuned the car beofre and after so it was done by someone who knows what they are doing.

    Disagree.....

    I didnt notice f all lag on mine..

    Talk to any tuner of race cars or the like and theyl say start pushing ab it more factory power through and/or using on the track fmic is that way to go.

    just curious but some new subaru legacy wagons are 3.0L .has any one every used a 3L block from one of those before?

    there a none turbo motor from the start.so i guess some forges new rods ect.

    /quote]

    yup there are a range of builds around the world using the ez30(x) motor.

    2 have been built in Tauranga.

    Cole Armstrong (V R34 Drift Car) has a retna coupe with a dccd 6 speed setup, brembos, cage, forged EZ30R wtih a rather large turbo on it. Dont think its been tuned yet though.

    The other one is gtoing to be 700+hp and has had ALOT of money spent onit will all become apparent in due time thoughy

  3. PBMS do a "Street" spec baffled sump that is $200 and you send your sump and they weld more baffles in. Best value for money..a full race sump will be in excess of $1.5k

    For hamptons id definatly have a sump of some sort after popping my motor there and seen and heard of many others killed there by oil surge issues

    errrr well to a point.....Whats his name from up north has been running his EJ257 with V3 Sti heads and has had numerous turbo setups over 3 years and last i saw was pushing 360kw....Has had ALOT of tuning htough as he road tunes himself and spent alot of time on it...

    However being pushed on the track day after day would be a differnt story.

    Are you talking about SKRMER?

    Think he's talking about RAC who had a Holset HX35/40 hybrid last time I heard anything about his car. As far as I know his car is not SKRMER.

    Yes i am talking about RAC and no it doesnt have the plate SKRMER....

    Offtopic: Wait... Your saying you'd go for 300kw on a factory motor? Seriously dreaming if you believe that. To take a page from jersey shore..... GRENADE ALERT.

    /quote]ive read plenty of times people getting 270+ from a standard block without fordged interals, but with lots of a/m goddies, did i mention above that they would last tho? haha so nope im not dreaming, its way possible that a standard block would do that

    if you get down to the basics right - a short block (ignoring CC rating) is 'dumb', itl make pretty much the same power forged or not. factory heads stand up to a much more of a beating (longevity wise) than short blocks do which really is my point.

    Sure you can wind a factory shortblock up to 300kw for a nanosecond and it was asssplode everywhere. For some one of your knowledge and background its a poor comment and misleading on your part.

    When i talk about a motor making up to 300kw - i mean i want to drive it off the dyno - like any paying customer would. If that wasnt the case I'd ask why you yourself have forged your motor? It would make 300kw in factory format no? no i think not.

    i do beleive later model factory (v7 ej207) onwards do take more power than earlier ones reliably, but not to 300wkw, 240-50kwkw is about their peak (reliably speaking)

    ive fordged my motor so i can push the farken thing to 4-500kw when i choose!....bet you will say im joking but this build of mine is only the begining so i get use to the power of 300kw under 2 rear wheels...ill turn to awd when the power gets to 350kw +

    Is this before or after your tuner repairs your new engine for you?

    And no need to get personal. Funkytown was just stating pretty much well known power figures from standar EJ20T engines.

    am with madmike on this the most ive seen on a EJ207 was 270kw and that was pushing it.

    No matter what condition the motor is in the part thats not going to hold power is going to be your rods and id put money that a factory ej20 would not make it to 300kw at the wheels that is.

    What fails with the rods. do they bend/break? or pound the BEB to s***? cap bolts break?

    they come out top and bottom of the short block so not too sure what breaks first but i have pulled 3 apart and the bolts and bearing were still in place

    Not always...My rod snapped and it didnt pop out the block...not sure what order it happened in but hte rod snapped and the cap bolts sheard/cap flew off and flatted out as it flew around the sump at whatever rpm.....no noises after either just run on 3 cylinders...wasnt till i took the sump off and a rod fell out the bottom that i knew something was wrong lol

    Just after some info...

    Are these nice big HP numbers on standard internals ie:

    Are these OEM standard internals? (with or without rebuild/refresh)

    Or aftermarket OEM spec parts?

    or OEM parts which have been Prepped for high HP output?

    There are some big differences in the above list.

    The one i was referring to was RAC's car was a brand new off the shelf EJ257 short block with a v3 sti reconned heads from memory.

  10. errrr well to a point.....Whats his name from up north has been running his EJ257 with V3 Sti heads and has had numerous turbo setups over 3 years and last i saw was pushing 360kw....Has had ALOT of tuning htough as he road tunes himself and spent alot of time on it...

    Because am running B4 heads I went down to STA and got one of these aftermarket intake manifolds and they also had a very nice fuel rails and now i run top feed ;D ;D easy ;) ;)

    /quote]

    I'm running V4 engine (EJ20K), ya was told to give STA a call as they have rails to make this work.

    Will keep you posted how things go.

    Not sure what your talking about buying from STA Parts but their quality of parts of late has been crap and i wouldnt be buying anyhting that your relieing on keeping your motor running especially fuelling.

    top feed sti pinks 565 (decap to 800) with rails

    $250

    what abt them?

    /quote]

    Yes thought bout that, but how reliable are deccapped injectors???

    Also, what do I need to go from side feed to top feed? Rails only??

    DTech motorsport "recap" them i think is how they do it with bigger caps and they flow 800cc+ they use them on alot of their race cars etc so no problems all spray tested etc
