Default Hi All,

Hi All,
I'm new to this forum and haven't been on a Subaru forum for quit some time now. Last one I was on was RexNet as a member then a vendor.
I have recently bought a 2004 STI it had 105,000km at purchase with quite a few bolt on mods below:
Engine:
- GT Pumps GTPS02TS Twin Scroll Turbo (Ceramic coated turbo housing)
- GT Pumps dump pipe journal
- Genuine C Spec Turbo mount
- Link G4 ECU
- 800cc SARD injectors
- Grimmspeed 3-Port Electronic Boost Controller
- Stainless Equal Length Headers & Twin Up Pipes (Ceramic coated and heat wrapped)
- Stainless 3inch into 2.5 inch exhaust system turbo back
- Weapons-Grade down-pipe & high flow catalytic converter
- Process West FMIC (Black pipes and cooler)
- Process West Cold Air Intake with K&N High Flow Air Filter
- Perrin Silicone Intake
- Hyperflow Oil Catch Can & Billet Battery Bracket (Black)
- Hyperflow Top Mount Oil Cooler with Braided lines
- Cosworth Oil Control Baffle / Windage tray
- Spec C low profile oil sump and tubing
- 500HP fuel pump
Suspension/Wheels/External
- Tein Coilover suspension with EDFC
Whiteline roll centre adjustment kit
- 18 x 8 ROTA Grid wheels with 235/40 Tyres
- Perrin Anti Lift Kit
- Perrin 24mm Front and Rear sway bars
- Kartboy Heavy Duty Endlinks
- DBA slotted rotors front and rear
- Intima pads front and rear
- Blue Alloy Racing Wheel nuts
- Custom Black headlights
- PU Black front lip
In car
- 3 x Centre mounted Defi gauges (Boost/ oil temp/ oil pressure)
- Pioneer head unit and supporting speakers amps etc
- Kartboy short shift kit
- Mongoose Alarm system

As you can see quit a bit done when I bought it, usually I do all the mods and it costs a fortune so this time I bought it with the hard work done. Apart from some extra handling bits and pieces I added.
Well so I thought...... With all the mods done and tuned to run more than stock boost on a stock bottom end it wasn't long before the bottom end let go.
So now its engine build time... Target builder is Michael South who has worked on my cars before and I have never had an issue with his work.
Look forward to being on a forum again talking to like minded people.

Cheers,

Scott

Welcome. My block was built by MSR, and can attest to it being of excellent quality. Looks like a nice build you've got there.

Default Pics up

I just added a couple of pictures.
When I do finally get around to getting the engine built I will definitely post some progress pics.
Thanks for all the great comments.
Cheers
