I have lightened the stereo setup in the boot & concerntrated the weight more toward the axle. yet to finish it off.

New Wolf V4 to go in.

Lightweight Flywheel & pretty blue pressure plate all thanks to ERD & NPC Clutches

300km/h speedo to go in next week

I was driving on the RS-R tyre the other day and I cant believe how grippy they are and how well they hung in there after 10minutes of understeering-over driving and our braking myself, ie they would have been way hot!

Shame I cant update the lap times in the Motorsport section, only Admin people can go back and update now :)

I forgot to get the print out when I was ther last, will grab it when the wolf goes in, plenty of scope for the Turbo left, can run the thing at 24-26psi I have been told by garrett & MTQ

I wont be using that much boost until I forge the motor tho, & even then I will probably be happy with 300-320rwhp as it is only a 2L & it goes like hell now with 280-ish @ 15psi & that should 300+ be with around 18-20psi

RB25Det NEO Engine/GBox/ECU has just been fitted & Mod Plated into the Lil War Machine :) so she is no longer a humble RB20.

Pushed the old gurl a little too hard at the last Time Attack Raceday & busted the Engine big-time. Cylinder 6 held compression when cold & leakdown test but as soon as the engine warmed up all sorts of nonsense started-loss in compression & leakdown failure. The engine idled rougher than a hairy goat.

So after careful deliberation & pondering what engine to replace the 20 with (ie 25, 26 or 25Neo) I decided on the RB25DET Neo Motor & Gearbox option-due to more modern tech & parts availability for future rebuilds.

Engine & Gearbox is installed & runs like a dream. Much fatter torque curve down low & with all the ancillary mods around it we got a respectible 222.9rwhp out of the Stock Neo trim with increased fuel pressure(pump®).

Big plans are in mix for her now with larger Turbo, Seimens injectors & that Wolf ECU I have lying around here somewhere. Also a half cage just to keep things relatively safe in cabin for the nutcase driver too :)

Overall goal is 350rwhp & final upgrade of Wolf V4 to a Wolf V550 as to run 2 fuel maps (98Ron & E85) perhaps to around 400-450Rwhp.

Only minors to fix like leaky power steering pump & we will soon see it back to bedlam mwahahaha.thumbsup.gif

use the mounts that come with the engine. they will sit the engine in the right spot. I did the same with mine.

todd ,

need to go for a strap with in it at some point.

    • 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.
