neo head, 26 bottom end. 26 manifolds, best of both worlds.

That involves more effort... I'm talking just getting a s2 25 AWD from a stagea and dumping it in as is.

Will cost $1k + labour and most importantly look like a 25 hence providing epic fanboi butthurt

Mike likes to over complicate things.

Need to smash the mantra of KISS into his head.

We don't think it's done any other damage, can't find remnants anywhere else. No bearing material floating around and bottom end APPEARS fine from a wiggle and inspection.

Pulled out onto riversdale road and gave it a little bit in first gear, went to change at about 5k rpm, looked down mid change and saw light was on and gauge was at 0 so turned it off and pulled over.
I have a feeling that pulling out and crossing over but still driving parallel with the tram tracks is what did it, all the wheels having different amounts of grip. Started raining 5 minutes after I pulled over too just my luck! It's a standard pump, getting replaced with an N1. I know it's not an amazing replacement but I'm not spending a grand on a Tomei pump, and this brand new versus an almost 20 year old standard pump, should be fine!

It's also getting a sump baffle extension thingy, kinda like the Tomei style with trap doors, only its an extension welded onto the standard baffle.

Oh and did I mention -7s! Hnnngggg

I'm about a second or two slower than you on most tracks, I don't know how to drive yet though...

Will be repairing intake manifold gasket and switching to E85 to squash these detonation problems before the next day.

Got a wedding on the 31st of Jan, so no Philip Island WRX Round 1 for me... :( Was hoping for a late summer PI

    • Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂
    • After drying a few days, time to put her back together 
    • The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.
    • No worries at all 🫡 I think the most satisfying things to make are the little bits that are just impossible to find or they're no longer manufactured. Generally I always try to replace parts with OEM wherever possible. This little project is also great because it'll never see the light of day, but strengthen these brackets so it's not just relying on the little standard screws in the headlight plastic. As soon as I saw the standard brackets and screws I thought, "well I'm not going to install with just the screws, the plastic tabs will just snap off". It's crazy how expensive everything has become yeah. But I suppose that's supply and demand; granted it's a lot easier to get brand new genuine parts these days which is fantastic 😊, I don't have to get totally reamed at the local Nissan dealer ha ha We sure are lucky we have all these manufacturers making parts these days, a few really great Australian companies too like Platinum Racing Products and Fit Mint Automotive, what a time to be alive ❤️ . I've got my eye on the RB26 head by PRP as mine has a very fine hairline crack, so that'll need to be addressed some time in the future. If you have any requests or odd things to make feel free to let me know and I can have a crack at making replacement parts ✌️
