The new engine.  The block is a 2000 model 2.4 v70r 83mm piston type with Mahle pistons, new rings and has sten parner h section rods with arp studs. The head is from a v70 t5 2005 with the vvt cams and the vvt deleted with blanks made. So they are now fixed much like the 850 items with 15 degrees of adjustment. The head has the smaller valve stems and is ported and polished. It also has solid lifters s60r head gasket. With a k27 and an early revision map on it produced 436hp and 408lb torque on 15psi during the mapping on the second mineral oil running-in stage. |

Street cars with turbo engines featuring more than enough horse power are not usually my thing, probably mostly because they seem to often come in the form of unsympathetic Subaru's with owners to whom carburettors and drum brakes are as foreign as boost control is to me.
But, this is a totally different beast. You've build this using so much ingenuity, and it just keeps getting better. I just love it, and I'm looking forward to see how you'll evolve it!

Swapping bits from one to the other:  And back in:   |

So, as I can't work on the car at the weekend, I thought I'd start making a new slam panel. This is how it looked before I started:  Then measure and mix up some black gel coat:  And brush it all over the original panel:  Leave it for three hours to go tacky, lay down the carbon fiber, then mix up the clear resin and brush on:   Leave over night in a warm shed Whilst it was left to harden I cut out some logos in yellow carbon vinyl. Next morning I sanded all the rough bits off with 120 grit wet or dry, then stuck all the logos on: you can just see the carbon effect on the vinyl:     Next stage is to mix up more clear resin, and brush on.   And that's how far I've got so far, I need to leave it another 6 hours before brushing on more resin, then let it set for 24 hours before I can wet sand it all and finally polish it all up. Note that this is not making a carbon part, but much like vinyl wrapping but with real Carbon Fiber A couple more pics with the third application of resin, all the unevenness will be sorted during the colour sanding tomorrow.     I'm a bit dissapointed that you can't really see the carbon effect on the vinyl. |

To bring this up to date again, the first time I cranked the boost up, the new engine split a liner, so the head is off and I will be doing a mod to the liners and JB welding the split one next week.

Time to make a new Intercooler, start with another Noble M400 £16 off ebay:  Chop off the bits I don't need:   I need to build this bit back up and join the pipe back on:  And a quick pic of the new calipers against an old Subaru 4 pot:  |
