Ah nice, what power levels are they good for are they similar to the STi 6 speed?
Regards, Subaru Collector 555. People are running 900hp through them with no problem and running 9 second 1/4's so stronger box than STI, and with more gear ratio options too. |

Completely different breed of gearbox and not really like any subaru box.

Why has no body told me this before! :cuckoo: Definently something I'm gonna consider with my WRX and will save me buying a used STi six speedfor £1500+ and hoping it doesnt brake. Btw if you ever want to go for 4/500hp levels check out Kinugawa on Ebay and they do some good turbos which can handle those levels are only cost £3-500 new. Only ever heard good reviews about them and there is a lot of variety. Thanks for that, Subaru Collector 555. |
Very interesting the vag 6 speed good skills!! How heavy is the box in comparison to the impreza 6 speed??
Also you could start doing a kit and sell as viable option to the sti 6 speed!! |

Wastegate hole opened up, not perfectly round, but I didn't want to touch the bit that was thin already.

So after a bit of thought and some financial maths I have decided to go standalone ecu.
Familiarity with the system, ease of mapping and the amount of options available were factors, cost was also a large deciding factor. So the piggyback will be comming off (ideal for anyone looking to map a classic or newage even for that matter) and I will be splicing the standalone into my loom. Already had it fired up and communicating in the living room, loaded a few basic settings and maps to get going. http://i959.photobucket.com/albums/a...psqsilinid.jpg http://i959.photobucket.com/albums/a...psf2qvkuwa.jpg |
Nice work as usual :).
Are you doing anything brakes wise as I have an idea for a cheap BBK if you want to PM me as it needs your machining skills. |

Today I stripped my spare 2.0 block. Ready to get the casings, sump, oil pick up cleaned.
Actually very tidy for a 100k engine, very little bearing wear or carbon build up. Just shows that buying an NA engine is a better option if looking for a base to build on. http://i959.photobucket.com/albums/a...psq9zxwrvj.jpg http://i959.photobucket.com/albums/a...psr1yql2jn.jpg http://i959.photobucket.com/albums/a...pswxtjvbj8.jpg http://i959.photobucket.com/albums/a...pscbrbnbaf.jpg |

So the 2.0 NA bottom end, block, crank and rods is the same as a WRX

Should bump the price of NA engines up lol |
Was going to say they look exactly like WRX rods.

Interesting.
Should bump the price of NA engines up lol This is why I would never re grind a crank, why make a sub standard, undersized and potentially softer (surface hardness) crank from a clapped out wrx? When a near mint understressed NA one is exactly the same and just what your looking for |

I doubt this is a new discovery, I'm sure all the engine rebuilders know exactly what they are looking at.
