nice man, its a great feeling. I was there two weeks ago before turbo failure.

Im well jelly Hopefully still be there to support as greg is going up.

Failed a WOF yesterday. All the usual reasons, too low, too loud and tyres. Going to VADZTER's today to borrow his sweet rims till he gets his car back on the road

Failed a WOF too...not for noise though. For borderline steering rack bushes.

I must say though I am impressed with Farmer Auto Village in TGA. Very professional and dont care about the noise or rims or anything. Just Subby enthusiasts themselves.

They mentioned the wheels arent quite true but non - failure on that.

Even gave me free coffee and gave it a wash.

Going back on monday for the replacement bushes and wipers. All up $150. Inc labour and gst.

gotta new water line for the turbo as i relocated top tank......

installed topped up the water chucked in some 98' started her up and re set fuel pressure.

now just gotta change oil return off turbo and get flange welded onto midpipe then she's good to go 8)

Love finding a good mechanic Swindog.

Purchased some Black lockouts, some decals for my Brakes and dropped my Sektas off for Powdercoating.

Now I wait lol.

[Jakee]

Put the new wheels on. RFRB So happy!

Lol.. While mag wheels get powdercoated......

A little boy waits....

Got my engine in.. just need $$$$ for fabrication :

Should be good for up to 300kw atw. Yes it has brembos, 6 speed, link g4 and all suporting mods.

*edit* and air con + leather ;D

[funkytown]

Looks like a very tidy build

but 300kw supported via a TMIC? sure its larger but i doubt it will cope, GL and let us know how you get on.

Yes i know.. :-\ I just refuse to have a front mount. Ive seen 250ish kw from other top mounts. ill be happy with anything between 240 and 280 tbh. Im not really looking for max hp. just good all round driveability (and tidyness)

hey what injectors are you using, top feed or side feed as i am looking for fuel rails (aftermarket) for top feeds and wondering what your ones were?

[boon]

Bought it a bigger rear swaybar. Maybe it won't understeer so much any more... slowly but surely getting there!

[funkytown]

fully agree.

What i think you will find is that it might allow you a peak in the 260-270 range (at best) but it will heat soak under normal driving conditions so a sheed load of timing and boost will need to be pulled for your normal driving conditions, I'd realistically estimate you'll see it tuned for 250ish max, which imo is still deceptively quick and will be very drivable.

What engine capacity and turbo combination have you got there out of interest?

just by the by, what ive found even on a FMIC set up, that from about 25pi onwards your charge intake temps seem to increase very rapidly, which shows that both turbo and or IC set up are nearing their respective limits. To offset that a larger blower would be required (more efficient) but you'd lose boost threshold and driveability.

Aftermarket top feed rails with 1000cc injector dynamic injectors. The brackets for the rails and the seat for the injectors in the manifold were custom made for the v4 sti intake.

Cool sounds good, who made all that for you?

as I am thinking of going bigger injectors as i have v8 pink ones but not sure if they will support the power i want in the future above 250kwatw.

You should defanatly change them if your wanting over 250kw.

I just had a guy who does all my alloy repairs to do it. anyone who can weld or machine could do it.

[funkytown]

they wont support >250kw mate. thats more or less about their peak.

you can put 1000's in on your factory top feed rails afaik, and they easily support 300kw,

I run sidefed 800s to support 300

I have a new garrett (like t3/t4 sort of) and just a rebuilt forged 2l :-\

i enjoyed my car with this engine and link g4 on 12 psi with a vf28 and grey 330cc injectors. (174kwatw)

Fuel delivery requirement is generally held to be ~5.25cc/min per hp.

565*4=2260cc/min

2260/5.25 = 430hp

430*0.74 = 318kW @ flywheel

318*0.85 = 270kW @ wheels (approximate drivetrain loss of 15% pulled out of my @$$)

I believe the injector cc rating is at 100% duty cycle (not recommended...) so yeah if you want significantly more than 250kW atw then bigger would indeed be ideal
