Should be an awesome ride on the street, not long to go now.
Is the subaru ecu reprogrammable, or are you going after market?

My brother's Type 3 just munched a gearbox on the dyno. Under power in 3rd gear with just under 14psi boost at 170odd hp atw at just on 4000rpm it took all the teeth clean off 3rd gear. The thing makes 250hp plus but I guess the torque simply took care of the teeth rather easily.
ACCEPT THAT SOME DAYS YOU ARE THE PIDGEON AND SOME DAYS YOU ARE THE STATUE
yeah thats right, but it depend on the gears in the box, unlucky for me my third gear was the fine tooth gear which is a weak point away, hence it macine all the teeth of( photos on my members thread).if you have the larger tooth gear and are gentle with the clutch you should get away with it, i will find out fairly soon as im about to get my box back together and back to the dyno so time will tell.
BEING ASPIRATED FEELS GREAT BUT BEING BLOWN TAKES THING TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL....
clutch engagement, take it easy........PFFFT!.........tourque when it comes on boost will strip gears every day of the week........but hey, i hope it lasts a while for you👍
according to dangerous, he ran into the 10s with a similar box as mine and that was with his blown engine which would have heaps more torque then ive got so should be ok under boost now with the 1600 kombi 3rd gear, much larger teeth than what i had..

You can't see it, plus underneath of the car is all black. On the future to do list is re-do paint. Though gearbox is first - what a crap job when it blows! The more we squeeze in the back, the more crap that needs to be removed to take the g-box out.

Yep the stuff under the guards and around the engine bay. Considering it was body colour when you put the car in, I thought it would have been matched. May as well do it right first time. Although, if you're happy with it, then I'm happy.
Personally, I'm just amazed they turned around this job so quickly. It wasn't that long ago you had the 1916 up for sale. Kudos.
Yeh they did give me the option of matching the colour once the POR15 was on, but the amount of stuffing around, additional cost etc. didn't seem worth it. YOu wont see inside the wheel well and you wont see much of the engine bay firewall - its tight!!! Plus the car colour is dark, so the black looks fine to me.
I see your point though, green would be nice, but came down to time and dollors - but Westi did offer.
Turnaround is great, would of been quicker if it wasn't for some dodgy parts i bought.
Whatever we can fit in!!! It will be near the g/box with scoop.
Wont make nats 🙁
Turns out the clutch problem i bought up in the past hit back - there is a problem with the way the pan was converted from auto - so new tube needed and a bit of a play to make sure its all good. Pain in the back, but we were pushing it anyways, let alone upholstery.
Come on Mick, there must have been some progress in the last 2 weeks. Any new photos. We are all here waiting for the big day, but not half as much as you!
Kev
I thought rebuilding a VW would be cheap - Shit I was wrong, just don't let the wife know !!!!
The clutch cable tube was not worth fixing, so hydraulic it is. The cylinder on the gear-box leaver is fitted, the lines are yet to be run.
Air to water intercooler radiator is mounted - basically sits right under the gearbox THERE IS NO ROOM!
We are waiting on some sensor stuff - some bits have come and are getting tested. All the little fiddly bits add up and take time - we should get an engine start this week - im not goona guess as to a finish time.
Im starting to miss the car a little more now, though things have been really busy, therefore i don't notice it as much.
