Frayz's 550bhp+ Prodrive edition Impreza build...

frayz · Nov 8, 2011

The Bomber saw a swap to NGK Racing 8 plugs tonight in preparation for mapping. I was delighted with my idea of the removable fuel pump/filter cradle too.
The whole system came out in about 3 minutes, 2x AN fittings, 1x bolt and 1x multiplug and the whole assembly lifts out for easy plug access. The drivers side is merly loosening one jubilee clip and removing the turbo intake.
Also managed to source a USB to serial adapter and could recaliberate teh Innovate wideband to read Gasoline. So with the wideband reading correctly and proper plugs. Shes all systems go for some proper boost.
Woohoo

Well, what a day.

To put it blunt the day was amazing... i am delighted... and the car is in short, f'kin ballistic on the road!
Huge thanks to Simon, Charlie and CJ for their work on the car, and a huge thanks to my wingman MADDOG for coming with me.

Ive got heaps of thankyou's to do and say but the bottom line is:

525bhp and 480lbsft on plain Vpower at 1.9 bar.
573bhp and 510lbsft with 20% meth at 2 bar.

Hi chaps,
Been pretty quiet around the forum recently. So just thought id post a little update of some small refreshments on the car.
Rear Brembos have been refurbished in black/yellow to match my APs up front.

Rear diff guard got a freshen up

Rear ARB, brackets and links also got a jolly up with some fresh powdercoat. All fitted up with new stainless fasteners and new rear pads in the calipers.
None of this can be seen i know and there will be lots more going on under here, but at least I know it's all reasonably tidy again for the summer,

Also have some more bits and pieces going on but will update when I have more to show.
Cheers, frayz

Looks epic when are you fitting the prodrive bonnet vent?

frayz · Jun 4, 2012

Hopefully soon mate. It's being prepped for paint at the mo. Then I'll cut the bonnet and can get it welded and painted.

Took the old girl out for a drive last Saturday and upon coming home I gave her the usual inspection. Found some oil mist on my inner wing that I identified as PAS fluid.

On investigating further I found that my HP PAS line was leaking a small amount of fluid through the core of the hose.
I removed it before it failed, caused a fire or worse.
I took it to my hydraulics shop for a second opinion. They were very helpful as always and put the failure down to heat, and the hose being used slightly outside its rated pressure.
The shop made me up a brand new heavy duty hose there and then free of charge.
