Two months ago I dropped off my Outback at Rallispec in New Jersey to have a new built motor and 6 speed transmission installed. The plans started pretty simple, mild upgrade to the internals, TGV delete, upgrade the injectors and oil pickup, etc. At some point a big Bloush turbo was added to the list, along with an upgrade to the intercooler, downpipe, and entire fuel system. Today I finally get to learn the sum of its parts.
Any predictions? In her previous configuration she made 200 at the wheels.
UPDATE: it took a while to get the dyno results because the guy who built my engine, who is also my point of contact at the shop, wasn’t there for the session (he had to fly to California to build the motor for Bucky Lasek’s white GC).
Assuming all guesses were whp unless stated otherwise the winning guess by Price Is Right rules goes to gmporschenut with his guess of 337 hp. Absolute closest though was BeaterGT, whose guess of 350 was only off by two. The Outback put down a whopping 348whp/339wtq. Corrected this comes to about 425 bhp. That said, thanks to the SI drive I’ll normally be keeping it at a pedestrian 280whp (345bhp) for daily use and only toggle the big powah button when it’s needed.
The plan is to pick up the car at the end of next week, along with another. But more on that later.
