Perfectly fair. Didn't realise it was part of a design/r&d process, cost would be held close to the chest.
Out of interest, what mods were done to get this setup?
- 2 x turbo's
- dual entry FMIC???
- Dual exhsts ??
- Obviously, fuel system (pump and injectors)
- Driveline strengthening???
- engine internals??
- Flywheel changes???
- What kind of ECU??? Clearly the NA Subaru one won't cut the mustard any more, lots of new parameters to worry about
I'm interested in how far you had to go to keep it safe.
I've got an itemised list somewhere I'll track it down and write it up on here when I get the chance but so far yes all of the above except for driveline upgrades and engine internals - that'll be part of stage 2. We also got a twin plate LA clutch from HKS (extremely rare and hard to track down and delayed the poject significantly). Also, the exhaust is a partly dual and partly singular but very large bore just over 3" all the through. We are still infact using the factory ECU with a Haltech interceptor. The factory ECU required some serious and ongoing alteration but so far is holding up well - which means the fabulous SI drive still works you can really appreciate the difference between them you literally get three cars in one:
I mode - the normal pottering around town with adequate overtaking power, I don't feel shortchanged in this mode anymore.
S mode - 80% throttle initially and then full throttle uncannily reminiscent in sound and feel to early 911 turbos with crazy lag (you gotta be awake to drive in this mode).
S sharp mode - 100% throttle response all of the time with no lag at all a complete ANIMAL to be feared and respected.

should cost me around $1500 to do the whole lot as already have an exhaust. TD04's are good for 21psi till 6000rpm on a 2ltr, then need to drop it to 13psi by 6500 so the turbo doesnt overspin. with 1.5 litres pumping the TD04's, you loose 25% flow, so you can run 21psi right through the rev range.
