Project 2.35
 

After my 2.1 went bang 3 months ago after 2000 miles at 503bhp, ive now got Stew@ TFS Racing to build me a 2.35 cdb build.

Power wise im aiming the same, 500/500ish would be nice :D

2.2 block

Turbo wise it made sense to rotate at the same time

MD321V compared to GT30

Will update as much as possible when things change

James

Good to see you are rebuilding the trooper James.:ok:

All the best dude.
You deserve some luck !

Wont be long now mate. Maybe Germany soon to! :twisted:

Germany is the Aim Nige :)

Good man :drive:

Hope it works as well as mine does :doubleup:

I hope so Chris :)

You should be happy with it once done

Good luck with it, should be safe this time

Nice one James.
Keep the updates coming.

Hey Rich
Hows yours ben then, Any issues, Its running bog power, wondered if its been worth all the effort and dosh.

Oh and when am i going to get a ride in it matey:wink:

Yeah going fine, no issues with it (it's not an Evo), at the time with afew issues it wasn't worth it but now it's done it's def worth it, I know alot of people get fed up with there builds when they run into issues but it's def worth sticking at it. Don't really get over your way much now but if I get a spare evening I might pop over lol

Good luck with the build James - look forward to seeing it up and running again. Still loving those Brides....

looks good James :)

Loving it mate, those seat look the nuts. :cool:

As said above, it will be good to see it back on the road mate and will be a cracker!!

looking good and will continue to be a beast no doubt.....

Rich two years of going to the Ring 4 Scoobs with blown engine's. One in flames at the side of the track on my 1st visit . Bad Build & wrong turbo did for me + some bad luck. Not the cars fault. Im sure if i had the same build on a Scoob it would of been the same story. Anger is only having this build now as his went bang. Was that down to it being a Subaru or a bad build? Anyway glad yours is running well Rich & may it stay that way. :lol:

Scoobs and Evo 's go pop as much as each other even in bog standard form, The early evo had crank walk, all scoobs eat bearings (mine did and was 100% standard)

I'm on the fence with both these cars as love scoobs but got a soft spot to own a evo3 at some point,

its just all jap turbo's pulsar's are the same but more weaker lol along with 200sx.

Anger your car does look great tho and the s202 spoiler suits it big time , should be puka when built then..

Another one is the rx7, as soon as a tip goes thats it lol, but got to say its probably one of the easiest engines to rebuild :-)

Little Update

Brides are in and fitted the Hyperflow Monster FMIC

Stew has all the bits to start the build now and should hopefully be starting next week

Just a couple of pics of me spraying the fmic and the old Hybrid to show difference in size

Blimey mate, just a little bit bigger then :-)

Weighed both and without the bumper bar the monster weighed slightly less :)

Never liked the gaps or route of the Hybrid mate

Our cars should be ready about the same time ish. As mine needs a map. Mmm Dave Rowe or James Rumsey both very good with Motec. Then Germany {MMMWWWAAAAHHA} evil laugh. :twisted:

got any pics of the brides in the car anger

Couldnt get any decent pics with the sun so bright yesterday mate and where the car was parked, will take some Saturday afternoon... all i can say is that your a lot lower when sitting in them

i will pick you up a cushion from the oxfam :mrgreen:

Come on the Trooper :twisted:

UPDATE

Engines built and ready to drop back in, would have been in but someone forgot to order the gaskets i was suppose to order :D

Car should be back with me later this week, just need Simon to put a base map on and then to start the running in

Wrapped the headers with a different wrap that you dont need to wet and no itching after :)

Looks like the Magma wrap I have to go on my downpipe - not sure about the cable ties though! ;)

Well done dude, wont be long now,

Nearly there, just a few bits to fit back and muck about with

Sweeeeet, looking forward to seeing this when its done :ok:

Superb mate, glad it's come back together for you.

So, overnight to Cornwall and back is it?

:ok:

Fantastico!!! The storms back. Now lets go thunder on German shores. Only 2 weeks to go mate. :twisted:

Hurrah, it looks like a complete car again! :doubleup:

It's like reading the thoughts of a young Winston Churchill :yeah:

Good luck with it James, it's going to be perfect when it's all mapped up and run in :ok:

I'm loving those Bride seats, absolutely gorgeous, good effort!!

Good luck with the mapping today I believe or is it tomorrow ?

Just the base map Chris

Nice one James:ok:

Good news James - good to see the trooper back and hopefully better than ever!

Errr your changing that system for Germany? :lol:

Nope :)

If your having that on for the German trip it must be louder than mine & i got banned!
Are you like me taking a bung? :drive:

That engine bay of yours looks like a plumbers nightmare. Complicated or what! :lol:

They just didnt like you for being a Northern tit.... Adrians is louder than yours ;)

And thats with pipes removed from a standard car

James is your system RCM and am I right in saying it has no silencers at all

Silenced middle section mate... theres a pic in post 1 ;)

And yes full RCM

Oh yeah, see that now. I'm getting the getting system :-)
