186Kw in the new money.

I'm using a high flowed TD04 because
I just want something very responsive
and great for the street.

Plus I don't want to break anything!
If I build another EJ, it will be for someone else!

More pics to follow :)

going in the car tomorrow morning and then
down to coolangatta for a run in!

take it up in the hills for running in - the best thing you can do is put it under load, accelarate up and down the rev range and give it the occassional full on squirt to 5500-6000 rpm. Don't be afraid to let it boost up.

DO NOT baby it or sit on a constant speed/rev for more than a few seconds.

I'd take it around the neighbourhood first for about 50kms - change the oil - go for a blast up in the hills for 100-200kms and change the oil again - then drive it normally for and other couple of hundred and you will have one properly run in, healthy motor.

That is the plan. It will have a vigorous life :)

I probably won't get out of 3rd gear once I get going.

I'm sure there is places that have them but for the price of the genuine ones, then why bother :???:

I think H-top blew this motor up Paul? He cleared a lot of subaru stuff out. I went down to Brisbane and got an ej20G closed block long motor off him that he was offloading.

Yeah, ended up having an injector hold
open 400km down the track and hydrolocking
cylinder 4 :(

it's all gone now.

She ran very strong and pushed her very hard.

Was just cruising at 100 when she just went boom.

Broken heart
