tbh it wasnt a ***** waving figure casing process, you said you werent fussed about figures, I just genuinely used the dyno to set the car up.. it made what it made, it then got sorted for the road where it lives.

Exactly mate, i wasnt and am not fussed on the figures at all. I was staggered that it did the numbers it did to be honest.
Its a handful on the road, and thats plenty ta very much. Does beg the question of how far it could have been pushed should we have been silly enough to do so?

would be interesting to see what racefuel would do.. but might just get to mbt and only make a little bit more.. I think it was close to mbt on 20% meth

A great read this Frayz and an absolutely astonishing car you've built along the way, it has inspired me for a far more low-key project of my own in the new year.
That is money/kids/other half permitting.
I've not used scoobynet for a while and stumbled across the project section about 2 weeks ago. Yours and emb's threads are the stuff legends are made of.
-On a side note do you or jolly green monster have any idea what caused the dip/drop
in curve between 4500 and 5500 rev's on the 573 run? Is it something that you'll likely look at in the future?

Yes it's because the torque was limited in the midrange to help longevity of the motor. The torque was capped and the boost profile slowly increases in the later half of the rpm range. We could have made big torque but in all honesty, as a road car 510ftlbs is plenty.

Pontificating
Just finished reading both threads over a matter of weeks 
Your drive and enthusiasm has to be applauded as much for the work on the car as it has for the content you've put on SN in relation to it.
Fantastic achievement, makes me wish I was 20 years younger without the wife kids and mortgage

Ah holy crap, another 39 pages to read, but I'm hooked so I've got to read it!! And may I say Frayz, you must have way to much money, firstly owning a cossie at 21 must have been a killer on insurance and then to modify a scoob to the level you have must have cost a fortune! Big respect to you fella!!

Frayz said it more than once over the years but that is one mighty fine car you have got there and its now got the engine to match. Congrats on all the hard work that has been put in by all parties envolved on this build from back to the day you got it. Please don't sell it, you will kick yourself I agree everything has a price but where would you go from this? Not had an impreza for over a year now and have tried a few other cars but still drawn back to getting another. Again top work but you mention there needs a final map so what do you think it will end up running

Many thanks again to you all for the nice comments. Even after all this time i cant believe people will still read through this entire thread, least of all the original thread.
Fair play to you
As said the car is tucked away at the moment as im quite busy with work.
