It wasn't originally my intention to do this project I had an Impreza I was doing up. Sure I could buy a VTI, or even a VTI-S, but I wanted to do something completely different. Plus, I like my turbo diesel, 250-300 miles per tank, It's pretty quick with the tuning I'm doing, and it's only done 87k
well seeing as im not gonna be able to get individual pictures of the parts now >< I may as well fill you in.
just under a year ago I finally got round to fitting the Blox inlet manifold that I had bought months before, this resulted in (I'm assuming due to increased pressure or something) the stem seals and/or piston rings blowing themselves to b****ry and enormous clouds of black smoke.
So after some deliberation i decided to buy a wee van that i could use for work and take the car off the road while I got the stuff together to rebuild the engine and fix the problems.
it was about 10 seconds after that decision that i thought "well if its all coming apart anyway......."
so months later and hording parts for the best part of a year I now have the following!
High Comp B16B pistons
DC2 cams and dual valve springs
P28 socketed ecu (to be mapped once everything else is done)
ACL race series bearings
Super Street 4-2-1 2.5 inch exhaust manifold and adjustable decat.
shiny new Bridgestone Adrenalin RE002's on 16 inch black DC2 alloys
and of course the Blox inlet that caused all the issues in the first place
The Beard is excellent thank you!
I honestly cant wait to get her back on the road, Ive been dealing with the worlds most gutless berlingo for nearly a year and its driving me MAD
