*laughs* If you're REALLY bored, you can figure out how to reinstall my turbo timer and hook up the Pioneer Carrozerria LCD screen back up... swap Legnums?

(I suck at electrical work, by the way)

 

[Guest]

[Nick]

 

[Nick]

what are they joe cant make out in photo

TD04L's off XT Forester!
These need the STi actuators and one needs some oil feeds.
Other than that, perfect, ready to go!

Get the ECU, Fuel pump, injecs, AVCR and lets see how they go! lol

This thing is already Hella fast! Can't wait Joe!

 

[SiliconAngel]

Glad to hear you're back in the game, Nick - don't scare us like that again man!

 

[weeaazz]

noticed you have tanabe coilovers,what do u think of them?are they good quality worth recommending?

 

[Guest]

james hell yea, but if you have the coin go tein's. i think the rebound rate is better in tein's.. when i put my coilovers on full stiff its a little softer than nicks car witch has tein's..
yea im getting there. i got my SAFC, now just need to install and tune. with the TD04's im not going to waste my time getting the metal replacement oil and coolant lines, im just doing all my lines in braid(oil and coolant).. the car feels great, as i said it now needs a tune and then ill post power figures..

 

[Guest]

when are the td04's going on???

 

[Dr_Josh001]

Well done mate! Did you and Nick do all the welding yourselves? Looks really professional. Love that air box. Have you got a cold air pipe coming up from the fog light vent?

I reckon that 300awkw ambition isn't far off with those TD04's!

 

[Madhav]

Excellent work guys! Do keep us all in the loop from start to finish. I've got 3 x td04's in storage at the moment, but unfortunately my income from the stock market is currently non existent... I've even got a mate who's very eager to see it happen and wants to lend me the cash to make it happen.. and I'm gonna be overseas for 10 weeks come October where the car will be available AND Rpw says they'll happily take the project on.... all very tempting I tell u. Good luck.

 

[Nick]

Will do guys.
This is Joe's machine, I am just standing on the side telling him he NEEDS to do it! lol
Mainly becuase I wanted to, but I have to sell mine because of the wife! SO I kinda NEED it also!
Plus mine is auto. These sorts of mods need to be done to a manual.

Very keen to get the two turbo's on. Joe has got some good ideas on how to sort out the radiator fans etc. Clutch is the next thing on Joe's list I am pretty sure.

I will post up a pic of the BOV setup, it looks lovely!

 

[Guest]

thanks guys, nick, thanks again cause you have helped me a hell of alot, even before this car you helped with things on the foz.
the TD04's will take some time but as nick says clutch is next because its almost shagged..

josh cant take credit for the welds as i dont have a welder YET! a guy i know did it for me..
im very happy the way the car is turning out and it is responding to the mods very well..

Plus mine is auto. These sorts of mods need to be done to a manual.

I'll put this theory to the test...
