So who has done an all out F8 build? I expect that at some point the pistons and rods will fail regardless of whether it pings or overheats. Building a top end is easy, but I can't imagine too many people have hypereutectic pistons and forged rods for the F8 lying around. ooh ooh (excited) what abou...

Do those people with F8B's (modified or not) get similar to original fuel economy? I'm having second thoughts about NOT doing the swap (assuming I find a comlete hatch). And I looked around, F8B rebuild parts are everywhere... so I might as well have a play with it. What are the limits of the F8B bo...

Water injection is a synch, and perfectly safe if done properly. Especially seeing as the system I will use will just be a small amount on over-run to aid with combustion chamber cleaning. I have used this exact system before on one of my cars (A 1990 Legacy GT) and it worked flawlessly for cleaning...

In that case I won't bother. I'll just tune it for 98, do some water injection, and drive it.

I have an F5A. The port job was only if I got an F8 and could do it while the car was still running around. I'm aware of the maths regarding percentages. I would have expected at least a 33% gain from porting, manifold, carby, and extractors on an old 202, and that's what I based the 10kw on. Of cou...

Hi all. I'm about to get my old mighty boy back. It's a bit rusty but mechanically sound. Now my question is, does the stock F5A respond well to basic mods (such as the the 1L charade carby that is rumoured to fit, and a bigger exhaust)? My plan was to initally run a basic water injection setup (vac...
