Wednesday or tuesday? Can't see the deal anymore

Thanks guys! If I were to say remove the A/C from my vehicle, can I rip out literally everything attached to the air con or for some strange reason is this not advisable?

I have what looks like a hairline crack in the exhaust housing of this here VF30 What does this mean for the turbo?

rears will be different. 95% sure.

Purchased a lot of things; - Clutch assy and linkage for manual conversion - Gaskets intake manifold/exhaust manifold and piping - silicone v6 under manifold intake - new 10mm oil pump - silicone radiator hoses - lightweight crank and accessory pulleys - 1000lb engine stand Getting excited to finally start on the build

leaving now be there 8ish?

hopefully i can get my project going before this date haha. When is the last possible time to confirm?

hey ross, theoretically could i keep the oem bh/be coolant crossover and heater hoses if i was to go straight to FMIC?

Wanting to borrow a mobile engine crane for some work i have planned. Not sure of dates yet just probing for interest at this stage. Will be a box of beers or something else in it for you. Needs to one that breaks down into pieces so i can transport it in a sedan. Anywhere in between wellington and Palmerston North suits me. Thanks

K stands for Kit?

Ill come over I need to do my clutch if people were keen/had the tools??? Where is your place? haha

I'll just be heading to moera looking for the subies. I don't know of a place called moera fish supply..

Those BC golds wont work with this model.

What I did is headed down to pickapart and found a BE sedan like ours that didnt have a spoiler from factory and stole the rear tray and rear high stop light and it bolts/plugs right.. PS: I didn't actually steal it but it cost me next to nothing

What I would recommend would be to do the front and rear separately if you didn't want to do it in one hit. Save for all the front, install. Save for the rear and then install.

His is road tuned with a guy overseas I think. Hit him up, I'm not too familiar with what you can get done on the V7 ECU.

Pretty sure Kris pran is running a more complex setup around the 300kw mark on the standard V7 ecu. So it might be time to find a different tuner?

Yeah thats cool I currently aren't too fussed with huge power. I like to make use of what I've got and do something a little bit different. Just cause why not? Problems I'm running into currently is driveline. Because our 3rd gen hubs are different (rear multilink) its going to be tough to do a 6 speed swap (afaik) so might just get a 5mt with LSD R160. But I was thinking don't the newage legacy run 6speed with multilink rear suspension so potentially could look at doing hub swap with the rest of the driveline? I obviously need to do quite a lot more research on the topic.

Unfortunately I'm working tonight so I won't be making it.

Woops yup I realise the difference between v7 and v6 heads. But there are ways to wire in avcs withou replacing whole loom or adding to it, which is what I meant in original post. Thanks for link.

So I would like to get some input on building a setup around the 300hp atw(220kw) mark on the BE5/BH5 platform. Some key ideas that I'm hoping to explore with this thread are; - Expense/cost effectiveness for a 300hp build. - Future proofing (more kw down the track). - Stable and reliable, everyday/weekend boost. - Making use of whats easily available. Alright so say we have a standard REV A/B/C Twin turbo manual EJ208 with all accessories to start with. Before any engine gets near the car it will be stripped down and rebuilt no questions, probably by me with a friend. Uklegacy seem to think the 208 open short will take around 400hp, similar to the WRX 205. If the 208 was used in the hypothetical 300hp build would it be worth upgrading the internals then and there or is the open deck going to limit the overall safe power output of the engine too much to warrant forged? Where to go from this point perhaps an ej207S? The internet seems to think that when the twin heads were made, subaru shat out airflow gold. Would some money be saved by keeping these and just converting them to single turbo etc? Will over shim effect a 300hp weekender/occasional track day vehicle? Port and polish will be happening regardless. What other options, Ver6 heads, wire in AVCS for v7 heads, swap shim over for shim under and cam shafts? I have a VF30 lying around with some v7 headers which should do the job(stock turbo position). When does the wastegate on a VF30 lose its effectiveness, would it just be easier to fab in external before I get it all together to realize it cant handle the pressure? I have access to a full workshop so keep that in mind. Will be custom fab downpipe/exhaust and FMIC piping. Despite the reusing cost margin would it just be more effective to buy a 207 with ver6 heads on it? If I end up reusing current gear I might be able to afford a link. Anyways the whole point of this thread is.. If you had a BE5/BH5 and was looking to make 300hp in a single turbo application, how would you do it? Any and all opinions welcome! Thanks. INB4 Buy an STI. EDIT: Also the internet seems to think that some later model EJ208 may have been semi closed, anyone got information on this?

I did ask a simple question with my post.. Tbh its up to the opinion of the forum inhabitants. If they don't think its up to scratch then start a riot, obviously.

Worthy?

Buy from the site Ross just linked. Decent prices and OEM spec. Aftermarket and such can be hit and miss on amazon/ebay.

Yeah strike can be allgood. Been a few times with work/friends.
