Final was 334.5hp and 411.6tq
The cross comparisons you'll see stage2 basically is 250ftlbs at 2500rp . Now its closer to 300ftlbs near 2400. Comparing a stage 2sti most tuning and customers want to be around 300 @ 3000rpm. So now bring on the flame wars from STI owners and 4thgens on stock setups.

Cam timing took about 25-30soft pulls before JohnJohn got air-fuel dialed in. Then about 15-20 hard pulls turning up boost along the way. About halfway through we blew the connection to the top mount so got another stocker in there for now. The Perrin one will be on order asap. Few other things will be worked out with some e-tuning due to the elevation changes here and octane levels. Then we'll work on mpg's etc. However I did average 27.6 on the 500ish mile trek home.

My initial impression Driving...umm, putting it lightly "holy shit". VERY driveable, powerband comes on smooth and linear. Not really a big HIT, guess that's to be expected though because of our turbo&exhaust housing. Second thing, I need larger injectors duty cycles iirc are around 92% so it was mentioned we could squeeze a hair more out but not much.
So what does all this mean????
1- Our turbo needs a bigger exhaust housing
2-get a fueling system to support higher boost if going with something other than our vf54.
3- A header and (yes and I'll spill the beans) EFR 7064 WILL be happening later winter
4- my paitence was tested but I'm beyond satisfied and expectations were higher than anticipated

Guess it doesn't get any more official then that!!
Pretty dam excited to see that and makes me feel like everything was totally worth it!

Wow!! What an awesome shot!!!

That's brilliant

Thanks guys. I'll share a few more when I get around to a computer.
Right now I'm driving across the US for the largest Subaru show in america called the WickedBigMeet.

Small update besides the pics...
New coils are on and holy smokes there is a DRAMATIC difference is performance. Literally feels at speed that car wants to be pushed harder and harder very controlled when cornering no "bumpsteer" over soft bumps. My shoulders and back don't hurt after a long drive either. The teins were 7kF and 5kR iirc. The HKS are 8k all around.
Little story on how I got them if you're familiar with Nameless Performance (big exhaust company and new sponsor with Cosworth) shop owners purchased 2sets of these for his 4thgen from Aussiland and then realized once he got them they were for a 5thgen. Soooo a guy I know bought 1 set from him and decided to trade in his car so I bought them before turning it into the dealer. Only 2sets of these stateside that in aware of

Minor update...going to do a reverse intake manifold and fmic this fall so stay tuned. Along with some cosmetric changes you Aussies should appreciate

Cosmetic changes are on hold...was in a front end collision this past Friday so now I wait for insurance and pray to God nothing happened up inside my engine bay. Feners are blown out to the sides, face is pressed back into the radiator along with the hood being curled up.
Definitely a sobering moment but I'm OK, no damage to myself or other occupant's in the other vehicle. Sad day but she'll be good as knew I'll know more with the next few days

Bugger, sorry to hear that mate! At least you are okay - certainly not the type of "cosmetic changes" you wanted I'm sure! Hope you get it sorted okay and there's no other serious damage.

OMG so sorry to hear. Im glad you're ok. Just hope the car can be repaired to its original condition.

Sad day indeed. Towed to the auto body shop this morning, now it's a waiting game.
