Hopefully in the next couple of weeks,the motor will be on its way to being brought to life.I have been some what indecisive about where to send the engine to get all machined up and assembled.

Some of you might think im being a bit pedantic about the whole thing,but you when you have spent the money i have spent on this thing im sure you would be the same.

After some discussion with a fellow forum member this morning i have finally deceided to give the task to Paul(DiRTgarage) and crew.

Im sure you know of his mental 9sec quarter smasher. I told Paul that i wanted someone who will take the time to make sure everything is spot on,and not to cut corners. Paul has assured me this will happen and will look after me.So ill be making the trip up to Newie sometime soon and will be giving constant updates on the progress.

Once it's getting reassembled and you've worked out exact dollar signs it'll come together and you'll start to feel great :/

I'd love to do what you're doing, looks exciting and engrossing. You'll be having some serious fun when it's complete :/

Love the pics. Keep em coming.

good to see your using paul. he's a good bloke and im sure he'll more than look after you :/

Thanks Shane,

Happy to be on board with Dave to help out with his build. Parts are off to the machine shop next friday and will post pics of progress if Dave gives us the OK to do so.

    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
    • LOL, all of the CAI like Craig I just need to put a hole saw through my bumper Done and dusted, the car runs, which is nice, I'll take it for a spin when the weather clears up Just need to put the bumper back on for good
    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
