Ah, right - yours might not have them then.Gerry H wrote:Not me. Mine's an old classic don't forget. At least if they are there, they're well hidden.
So is this the equivalent of an idle control valve?
It is not the same thing as the ICV afaik.
STi Time Attack 2008 - new dyno figures !!
Massive Update !!
Well, what a perfect start to the day !... an inbox full of pictures and updates and progress on the car 
Jase and Mike at Area 52 Autosport have been very busy putting it back together and I am thankful for them for the huge number of pictures they are taking for me to use in the project thread along with the undoubted superb work in the build itself.
Anyway, go get yourself a cuppa, there are quite a few pictures !!
Lets start with the Front Mount...
See what I mean about it being huge !
The standard bumper bar was removed (weighing 10kg iirc) and the APS kit bolts on to replace this. Despite the APS kit being literally enormous, the weight of it was 18kg, so with the weight removed in the TMIC there probably isnt a lot in it weight wise, but it will performa so much better.
If you look at this photo, the 2 yellow dots show the amount of exposure that the std front opening on the bumper allows access to:
Obviously there is a lot of frontal area of the FMIC not in the airflow so some modifications were done to effectively double the exposure at the front. You can see the yellow dots in this picture, now well within the opening.
A tight fit in the tubing coming up through the inner wings. This still needs to be totally resolved but may require some of Stu's speciality percussive maintenance
The Turbo:
As the FP Green is a turbo that can grow with you, there are a number of choices that can be made on turbine sizing, inlet size and some other secret bits .... Jase set about creating the perfect version of the Green for my car to run on. Whereas this may sound confusing, there are in my mind essentially 3 types of FP Green. One targeting 420bhp, one 440bhp and one 460bhp. These are relatively cautious figures as Jase's own 2.0L made 444bhp on the 420 version at 1.6 bar.
A choice of wheels:
Some pics:
The one built for mine (trade secret new design
)
This turbo will deliver LOTS of torque with a huge range of useable power that will be particularly important for the first two rounds of Time Attack at Donington and Knockhill. I will of course share dyno plots once it is fully mapped and singing sweetly but we are aiming for combined power and torque of over 1000
The Turbo and GT Spec up-pipe nicely wrapped ready to go on:
Now onto the engine.
The std sump pickup and windage tray arrange (looking up from underneath the engine):
The Cosworth sump windage tray showing the rubber flaps that stop the oil splashing up on hard cornering and keep it within the sump. The flaps open downwards to allow oil to drain back down un-onbstructed.
Cylinder heads going back on:
An example of the blanking plates that theyfabricated to block off the Air Pump system that is there for emissions, or rather WAS there for emissions but now is in the box of bits left over. Another saving of around 5 kgs of weight and gaining a lot of space back in the engine bay:
Almost all together:
With Turbo mounted:
Cusco Twin Plate Clutch going on:
APS Intake pipe in place that replaces the std narrow corrugated pipe.
From the Turbo side:
Engine going back into the car:
And almost all in place...
There is still a fair amount of work left to be done but the finish post is definitely in sight now.

I am hoping not. I kind of miss the thingIWANT1 wrote:That intercooler is Mahosive.
Not long till its time to run i guess.
Heading up there in the morning to get a few jobs done hopefully:
- fitting of seat
- fit passenger 6 point harness
- prepare rear tow hook for painting
- make template for splitter
- plan fuel system chages
Plus see what can be done to stop the washer bottle fouling the FMIC piping.
