Boxorbeast 2005 STi ~
Hello all, decided since I'm going to put some work into my car I'd make a driveway thread so I could get tips and suggestions on what I could do further ~
I was going to sell the car, but received little interest so I decided just to keep it and work it a bit more. Car was purchased in 2009, with 18,000 kms. When purchased it had the following - EJ257 block (I don't know why he did it) Full mandrel bend TBE APS Front mount APS cai whiteline antisway bars upgraded fuel pump adjustable coil overs HKS blow off valve Autronics ECU with launch control/antilag [U]picture of it back then [/U] [IMG]http://img842.imageshack.us/img842/8806/stockk.jpg[/IMG] at around 34,000 kms the ol EJ257 gave in. car was consuming alot of oil. White smoke came out of the exhaust, idle became bouncy, oil spraying out of the BOV..... biggest nightmare and around the same time this was all happening driving along casually and then coolant starts to piss and spray everywhere inside the car on passenger side ~ heater core. So it was time for a rebuild. Engine out first time [IMG]http://img856.imageshack.us/img856/8265/bayl.jpg[/IMG] Stuffed EJ257 [IMG]http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/9358/27065905.jpg[/IMG] Brand new EJ207 [IMG]http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/5652/stishirt.jpg[/IMG] For the rebuild I went with Brand new EJ207 Brand new GT Pumps GTPS03 turbo New heater core ARP Head stud kit I was planning to fix it and just sell it off, but due to a change of circumstances in my life I decided to keep it and work on it more.... Currently the engine is out of the car again getting machined, it is receiving: Cosworth 2.2L Stroker kit Cams, Springs Head machine Oil pump Gasket kit Custom Garrett GT3076 kit External waste gate Headers [U]Car as is today[/U] [IMG]http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/8783/dsc00436ur.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img690.imageshack.us/img690/4624/afdh.jpg[/IMG] Thanks for reading, tips and feedback on build would be appreciated!
