I know I haven't really kept you guys up with all the Subaru builds coming in and out of TopSpeed, but i'll try to change that. I just thought I would throw a thread up about this car. It's on the dyno getting some Doug lovin right now and doing really well. We did not build the car, but have the privilege of tuning it. Very nice looking build with some great parts! Both Doug and I are excited to see how she does. Here is a top level mod list: Build Motor Head Games Heads 272 Cams Custom Turbo Kit GTX35R w/.63 AR FMIC Here are some pictures guys, I'll update the thread as it goes.
I doubt that. The block isn't pinned so Doug will stop at less than 25psi of boost to keep it as safe as it can be. Not that it doesn't have the capability of making that kind of power, but the question would be for how long
My EJ205 wasn't pinned and was bone stock engine......27 psi DAILY for 150k miles. My built tractor motor wasn't pinned....27 psi daily and 32 psi race fuel....still running last I heard but prolly doesn't even have 5000 miles on it.
Thanks Doug for the help! We only had 1 little hang up which was the Tial 44mm was leaking. So I had to buy a new Wastegate . Me and Doug had it switched out in no time then it was on to making Powa .
Really awesome car... Over the last decade now of tuning subaru's I have learned what works and what doesn't for big hp stock sleeve builds. Even still sometimes things surprise you, but in an effort to keep this one around for some time I kept the boost pressure to 25-26psi. It made 540whp (sae) and 550whp (std) correction. Yes I could have easily turned it up to 32psi made one or two pulls on the dyno for that 600whp number. But how long would it last before it oval'd the stock sleeves or worse cracked one.
