From memory that engine isn't very old at all - What do they do during this Refresh ?

Sorry I can't help on the rotated pointt.

 

Refresh will comprise of a complete tear down .
parts replaced
ACL race bearings
Clevite h/p bearing set
RCM head gaskets , spec to my build
Subaru block seal kit
Rocker gaskets / cam seal ect
inspection of bores and rings .
Perhaps I worded my original post wrong omitting the fact that the engine is running better than it ever has done but in my experience this is the point where the motor will let go (sods law)
Plus im experiencing ……. clutch bounce , hence bringing a long term project forward as I don't want to have the engine in and out which is time consuming and inevitably expensive.
On another note I cant believe how long the clutch has lasted , 50k at 400 /500 hp

 

Have you had a look at Perrins rotated turbo kit? https://www.perrin.com/shop/turbo-kits/rotated-turbo-tuner-kit-for-garrett-turbo

 

So it looks like ive purchased a new turbo for this set up its a GT3582R ( I had good weekend on Ebay) Its externally waste gated capable of 675 hp , I think its reasonable to think I could get to the high side of this as I already have W/M injection.
Im having my house valued next week.....and working overtime .

 

A 600hp Forester... yes!! That's going to be a handful!

 

"Getting the house valued" hahaha does Mrs Lockheed know you're selling yet? Hahaha

 

Yes She knows we have been experiencing some difficulties with some neighbours, and are getting out of dodge while the getting's good. We will be probably be moving to an up and coming town where house prices are cheaper (and probably the neighbours too)
This will free up a bit of cash . she wants another horse / pony and I want a much needed power up grade 🤣

 

Ah well best of luck with everything!!! Hope it all goes well!

I was gonna say though, she may suspect those 60's if you have to sell your house..

 

Is your block CDB already?

You can use impreza downpipes on these to an extent, RCM do an Impreza rotated kit that's gold plated. Have a look at Tuning Developments and talk to Mike Jones. They have developed their own hand built exhausts and I have one for my MY15 STI. It's fantastic quality and Mike has even built their own rotated kit now which should fit your car.

 

Its a 2.35 closed deck stroker exactly the same bottom end as the Lateral car .
Do tuning developments have an add on ebay? if so ive wondered about that .
The main problem I can see is my fmic pipes it seems very congested in that area.

 

You might be OK with that setup as you'll have to relocate the header tank anyhow.

I think Tuning Developments do sell on ebay too but relatively sure there rotated setup isn't on there.

Link to the kit on their site.

Does anyone know what the most power someone has had out of a Forester?

600 must be getting up there?

 

the grey goose has some pretty impressive numbers , well into the 500's whp .
Ive just read some very scathing reports about Tuning Developments …..

 

How does your gearbox like all the extra power?

 

It can't speak so it can't tell me ....I've heard of the six speed being driven by 700 plus hp

 

So by reaching the 600's you'll be entering a realm of advertising gigs! = £ 😉

 

I hadn't even thought about that but now you mention it

 

Is it dry sumped?

 

No I have a RCM baffled sump .

 

This will suit my needs , so now to save up for a new v band turbo...…….. apparently this kit will support up to 900hp with the correct supporting mods ……..
Ill be happy if I break 600 UK hp

 

So this turned up the other day , I wanted some private time with it before I displayed here.

On separate note I notice its from Oz so I could of gotten one of the drongos to post one over.

 

New turbo might have over done it

 

I like your new turbo. You didn't over do it... You did it right!

 

Thanks @Nasarog , I said it before and ill say it again its a real shame your avatar no longer walks.

 

You could loose small mammals in that compressor intake!

Good choice on the ale btw

 

Why thank you Neil ……. Squirrels ? no no no not ale that was just some one pretending to be me

 

I've mocked this up as best I can with out any bolts but this is something like how it will look,
I'm taking the car off the road this weekend to make some sense of how this lot will fit,
I wish I just had a head light to fix. 🤣

 

....HAH!

Can come fix my headlight if you wish...

I'll throw in a packet of chocolate digestives...
