Update as it now stands under construction. Its all in the hands of Stechnic now. The guys did a great job of fabricating up a new flexible oil inlet line to the turbo.
I have also ordered a new Innovative Motorsports Air/Fuel Ratio Gauge MTX-L Wideband O2 Digital Air/fuel Ratio Gauge so I can keep a closer eye on proceedings once the new motor is installed. Hoping to be back on the road again in a couple of weeks time.

In the mean time my mods are just about finished aside from new bigger alum radiator and gearbox oil cooler and a few other small cosmetic mods.
I am hoping to just enjoy the car rather than pump money into it. I have achieved 95% of what I had hoped now and goes like a shower of shit but very linear power delivery when doing WOT pulls. I took my mates Balsac and Impresiv for ride and both said the same things. It is very quiet off boost and pure porn when the happy foot can be used fully.
My focus and funds will be going toward building a new home for my family.
The old rental home is currently getting bowled over and building starts in 2 weeks.

The update to the Foz is all parts purchased and collected for the 6MT DCCD gearbox transplant. I had to source a Clutch Plate Assembly and Brake Assembly plus master and slave cylinders to suit. I managed to pick up the lot from JWS in Wangara (big thanks John). I have a HD clutch and flywheel, and rear diff to go with along with a number of other parts but mostly importantly a genuine Subaru 6MT shift knob and boot.
At the same time the new BBK-M Turbo (TD05-18G) will go in along with a Perrin Inlet Pipe, Process West CAI, Turbosmart Kompact Plumback BOV. To top it off I hoping to get my new STI Front Seats installed and some Cusco bracing as well. Please dont bother or distract Doug and Damo at STechic next week LOL
Following week it will be off to ASG for more tuning and I am hoping 210 kw + atwPosted 01-03-2012 at 08:59 PM by American Dave -
