that would be a good route the 2.1 if your loking for the 400 bhp 450bhp as but then so is the 2.5 i want one of these 2.1 myslef as i think 400-450 is just perfect for the road i ahve heard thou that the 2.5 will go through the gears quicker as you cant hold the revs as long but this is only what i have heard and i take it you have a six speed or you have a new age sti any way

people think these cars are two a penny and movies like fast and furious and the quest for the "10 second" car compound the difficulty. if half these wee lads got into a fast car they would kack themselves at how fast they are. they have no conception of what is required and how much money and how much development time goes into building a project car with a lot of power.
sorry for the hijack guys.

2.5 are great engines with the right turbo you don't have to forge it. A 2.5 in a classic with a 20g is perfect and enought to see off 80% of cars on the road. Not much will come any where near you. 450/450 in a classic can be a little twitchy on the road fun im the right hands with the right driver but horror movie for some one who is inexperienced. I went throught standard to stage one running 330 then 390 then 420 now - little over 500 in a classic. Have you had your car remapped maybe try that and see how you go from there.

It was unplanned man. Even i didnt know that i was going to turn up. Could'nt refuse a play against a 355 therefore i could not resist myself. I just wanted to see how long it would last & now i have seen how long it lasted. So next time someone like me turns around & asks me if a sti V4 gearbox can take 400+lbs...i will say no just like you did lol. It was a good experience though . My next experiment will be on a V5/6 sti box
What you doing this saturday coming? I've had inside information that some seriously boosted GT-R Skylines are paying the strip a visit . What do you say
