Subaru_dude Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 that thing's not gonna be able to do anything when it encounters a hill. it should do alright in mud though. get the sledge out, trimming those fenders isn't gonna do anything.

Jerry DeMoss Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Love that wagon! I would have done the same cammo paint job!I think it looks sick!I am sure it will make people look twice when you are running around at around 4,000rpm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burtonsnowman Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Word to that wagon. Remove about 13 square feet of fender, lift it another half a foot and get you a transfer case or two. Then you will have the best Sube in existance. (Oh, and do something about those axles...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why cant do anything when it finds a hill?ITS GOT 300 HP-read 215HP more than your car came stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The turbo needs high RPMs to spool. That engine ain't got no torque at low RPMs. Especially with those gargatuan tires. That don't help the crawl ratio.

Uberoo Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 they never said this was a trail rig,more of a mud runner.on the other hand if it was my rig it would have 300 hp and instead of turbos it would have a supercharger...all the power I could ever need...especially if the DR holds up to kinda power...

That don't help the crawl ratio. I'm sure it has more then 150nm in the low RPM's, I think that shoud do for most hills you need to go up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allied Armament Posted January 11, 2007 Author Share Posted January 11, 2007 Just watch out when you see this thing on the trail because the driver aint slowin down for your grahma or you. Albie already dropped a nasty exhaust and bumper system on it and let me tell you that the bumper is for pushin pus5Y's off the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torxxx Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 lol. car looks awesome, but I dont wanna pay the axle replacement bill.... as for the comment bout turbo and lack of low rpm torq... remember the idea of mudding is WHEEL SPIN. once those start spinning, they aint gonna stop.

Allied Armament Posted January 11, 2007 Author Share Posted January 11, 2007 Exactly when those tires start spinning it aint gonna stop. If a stock Subaru can climb the hilll at our facility, this thing will climb just about anything! Once its up and running though only time will tell, never the less the fun will have will be worth as many axles as it takes!!! I LUV U PUL IT JUNK YARdS, and axles don't take longer than 20 minutes to change if you know what your doing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan86GL10 Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I love the turbos suck comments. As if the motor has _less_ torque at any rpm than some busted old ea81 or 82. Sure turbo torque insn't instant but it doesn't decrease the N/A torque of the motor, only adds. BTW turbo's kill NA on hills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phizinza Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Sure turbo torque insn't instant but it doesn't decrease the N/A torque of the motor, only adds. I'm not 100% sure on this with EJ's, but I think you may be wrong here. See, when they turbo a car they usualy reduce the compression of the motor. This in turn leaves you with less torque unless the turbo is spooled and is making up for the lack in compression. But like I say, this may not be the case with this motor his running. But I know it is for the EA turbos. I'm not saying the turbo is a bad thing, and I agree it would have plenty of power all the time. But still I like high comp N/A engines. It's a bit like riding a 250cc 2stroke vs a 400cc 4 stroke, I like constant power, and lots of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offense intended, it's just that I have seen Albie drive before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casioqv Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 As if the motor has _less_ torque at any rpm than some busted old ea81 or 82. Agreed. Turbos actually add tons of torque, even at low rpms if the turbo is small, and the TD04 on the WRX engine is tiny. I have a TD04 on my Volvo Turbo, and it produces 10psi of boost at 2000rpm. I can't even go full throttle on my stock EA82 at 2000rpm without lugging the motor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allied Armament Posted February 16, 2007 Author Share Posted February 16, 2007 The cars up and running and ready to rip! Albie has already ran it several times and says its solid as a rock.... Can you say 40-50 foot roosters ! Qman your right Albie should bring a trailer i've seen him drive too , its gonna be good. Remeber the event is on the 24th of february. Lifted Subaru Races will be held! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Oh my God! ... I like your Wagon, It´s Crazy & Beautyful! It´s a Monster Subie! Guns and Subarus.....Me like. Yes, but to be Perfect... Can I change the Guns with Girls? so the moral of the story is, find someone with an '04-'05 STi to take the photo next to, and eff the dealers and what they think Well... ... on the other hand if it was my rig it would have 300 hp and instead of turbos it would have a supercharger... I Agree! Make sure you get vids. YouTube 'em for all the other people out there. Yes, I´ll Love to Watch Videos of your Monster Subie! ... I Like it! I dont think the tires are big enough man! you must getvideos of this, and they better be high quality too. that thing is nuts, i love it!! I Agree, Absolutely! Good Luck on the Race!
