A lot further west actually... about 40 minutes or so lol

Yeah I knew it was one or the other, guessed wrong.

Matt I know uv now done diff upgrades, but how do think ur driveshafts and 5sp box will hold up to the big power increase ur planning.

Will u limit output or upgrade to titanium shafts and the strong 6 speed. Or r u planning a built auto !!

Old 5 speed is going into father in laws '99 WRX

Gearbox is being sorted shortly. Got the Pulsar to drive around while the Forester is off the road. No rush... not like I have had the garage or shed full for months on end before

[PUDZ RSC3.0RB]

Yeah well, what else is the man cave for.

Gearbox getting sorted !!!, divulging anymore here ?

Big update
New Roger Clarke motor is ready to go: sleeved, O ringed, closed deck, phased crank, ARP Block bolts, 14mm studs, H Beam rods with forged slightly oversize pistons with oil cooling squirters(R35 GTR has them) and billet nitrided crank fitted with no doubt some serious engine assembly secrets
On top of this there is brand new GRB EJ207 Dual AVCS heads, with deshrouded valves(yay for having a CNC lathe), beryllium valve seats+guides, optimal combustion chamber quench surface with cams that are best described as adequate for the job of an 8000rpm EJ257 For the price I paid for the engine, it was ridiculously hard to turn down... it sort of spiralled out of control from there so decided to go all out

New turbo is a GTX3582R 1.06 with twin scroll ATP V Band exhaust housing with the turbo to be mounted in the wheel arch where the factory milk bottle should be via custom headers, custom dump pipe and a TIAL MVR44 external gate. V band hose clamps throughout including the throttle body which is having the plastic inlet manifold rotated to have throttle next to the alternator. ID1300's with fuel pressure set at 60psi for better atomisation and a Magnafuel fuel pump, 5L surge tank with a DW65c acting as Surge tank fill pump(does 385L/Hr since it has no pressure) will keep the good 'Sugar Sniff' from the exhaust

Will change the rear housing for street duties thanks to the V Band Twin Scroll clamps with ease

Factory 5 speed has been making all sorts of noises as those of you who have been in it recently would know so... I am about to bite the bullet(pending sale of my Pulsar) and order a 6 speed box that also allows me to use the S Edition Paddle Shifter kit... Sequential with Hydraulic Clutch and Shift engagement kit, interfacing with the Launch Control and FFS logic in the ECU. So far, I have also reprogrammed the BIU + Dash cluster to display the manuals selected 'gear' on the dash like the 09/10 4EAT's so I do not need the 80's retro porn looking red LCD gear display that they 'suggested' I use lol. Existing Exedy VF clutch will remain. In the mean time, will be using a GRB STi 6 speed manual for cog swapping until the new Sequential box is secured and arrives.

Summary: New engine, new turbo and new gearbox time!
