Good stuff Sean. Looks like scope for a bit of work if you can come up with something to fix the EMS. I've seen bigger wheels on a heater fan than those, although it might also explain why there is minimal lag/fast spool up on stock. What size injectors do they run? View of flow I/C capability?

What's the room like for fitting "better" manifold and bigger turbo? Bottom/Top mount? The higher capacity should permit good spool even on something much bigger.

Keep it coming!

The turbos are small. I was shocked when I saw the exducer on the exhaust wheel . And even a little shocked by the size of the wastegate. A big gate to control boost better with a little wheel. AKA small turbo chocking the motor.

Injectors - I dont know yet. I got a part number off them, they are Densos. They look very similar in shape and color to the new STI injector. Cosworth should be testing some of them next week, if the numbers make sense, probably the same injector. Subaru and Nissan seem to share some odd parts.

The intercoolers, the ducting to them, etc. You can screw that up much easier than make it better. The ducting on this car from the factory is simply the best you will ever see. Well at least on an 70k car.

You could rewheel the turbos. Eric from Cosworth talked about it in his blog. Said the turbos looked a lot like other Subaru WRX type turbos.

As far as room goes, not a ton of room. Same as a 350z twin turbo kit and space. So its for sure possible to put turbos down there that are 800 hp capable.

Now bring on the 4.2 liter stroker and a set of Disco Potatoes....

Works for me, I just checked it, and I am at a different computer.

Maybe it was just something quick. It should be ok.

I ain't dead , and I aint shawn.... but anyways.

Actually it was imported to the US as parts. Two cars. One is together. The other is about 90 percent.

I did however have to take some stuff apart. I am sure not too many people have got a chance to do it. I had to pull an exhaust and intake off.

That was a kick ass movie by the way. You Brits make good movies.

Good stuff, I can't believe how small the exducer is.

Sean did u get any weights on the car?

Trying to figure where all the weight is b/c the hood , doors and seats don't seem too heavy.

the Tranny maybe or that steel sub-frame Eric mentioned.

U guys find anything else?

They spelled it as Shaun of the Dead in the release here in the US. Im Sean, and I misspelled it Shawn not Shaun, and I have not heard of Shorn.
