    Well after farting around for a year, we have made great progress over the past few months. We expect her to drive soon.

    I will work on a mod list but this will take some time, look closely much of it is pictured below.

    It was so incredibly loud with an open downpipe.

    We may need to pick up that side exit pipe from Javid.

    INDEED!!!
    Brandon (Allpro Subaru) did an amazing job and the time frame he completed was as impressive. Car cranked first attempt and anyone who saw the nest of wires before he got his hands on it can really appreciate the work he did.

    It is my old turbo and delette's old motor. I was able to hit 517 on c16 with a m10 meth nozzle with that turbo. It is now running a m15 so with that and q16 it should still be close to 500 even with the top mount.

    With the better spool from the top mount it should be a very fun setup.

    well getting ahold of Coolrex's car really got the ball rolling...Brandon from Allpro was absolutely KEY in making this move so fast with that amazing dash install.

    to be road worthy-headlights and corner lights, emissions, registration. or swap tag from other scoob and use hand signals. lol

    finish tuning, cage, seats, and some driving locally to ensure noting comes loose at 100+mph...45 is much more forgiving

    Finally got rid of the last cel today. Its ready for emmissions.


    The next step after getting it registered is to get the suspension set up . Right now the rear end responds about a second behind the rest of the car when you turn. A very odd sensation.

    Not too good. Old numbers were 480 and not pushing hard. It needs a real turbo on and not some poor mans worn out turbo.

    420 I'm not saying that....rick himself texted me and wasn't happy about it. I told it hot as heck right now and that doesn't help. And if there are issues like Matt said then it'll get better once Doug finishes. More can be had....

    It's my old motor. Made 480 on gas and meth. But temps were freezing....day it snowed so much. Also I had a real gt35r. It now has a cheap copy of the gt35r.

    haha that was on the 2.0l...I never said anything about "not being happy" with a damn thing!!!
    I sought 425-430 on pump/meth and 500+ on Q16, that being said we ended the day at 442/392.

    Remember this setup made 517/517 on koko's and its nearly identicle. With Q16/meth we may very well match **beat** your #'s, hell its making more than koko's did without racegas! ;)

    I'd like to say, EXCELLENT job Doug AND way to hop into mechanic mode to fix all the little issues that always involve my cars and dyno's. lol

    Here is the plot and let me tell you despite the late hit, it is scary as shit WOT'ing 2 consecutive gears in that tiny car...DEFINITELY time to hook up the front sway! ahhhahahaha, I guess I forgot to tell you about that part Doug.
    anyways here it is and a few other runs, maybe Matt can post up just the one run.
