Personally I dont like doing comparison runs with a launch. To many variables. Thats why I like 20-60, or in my car 40-80 or 60-120 as I dont get traction in the lower speeds.

I hear you. Not something I'm overly worried about by any means. Just want to show possible owners what the drivetrain is capable of. Was good to get it out on the road for a change. Been a few months since I have driven it. Just hoping weather holds out so I can get some good video saturday. I think I may skip the 60-120 one though Andrew. LOL! maybe with my new drivetrain I'll do that one (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

With 300hp It comes in pretty quick (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

This is my setup on about 12psi. This is about 300hp, something to look forward to.

Dang that was fast Rich is buying my drivetrain. So it is full steam ahead now. I am pulling the drivetrain this Saturday. Need to go through all the wiring with a fine tooth comb. My original wiring diagram needs redone for the new owner. My original one has changed when I did my new ECU. Anyway time to move on from my NA 2.5.

Time for my 2009 2.5 Turbo motor from a subaru forester XT. I did a thread when I got it. Basically the car was Tboned. Guy bought it for the front clip to fix his wife's car. Turned out he knew the guy who owned the car before. In talking to him he found out there was a recall on the motor in his car. He got factory replacement motor at 70k. So my motor has a mere 15k on it. My plan is to relocate the turbo to the front of the motor using Outfront motorsports header. It does mean I need to flip my intake or get a different one. Only because I want to setup a/c & there isn't the space to flip it & have all the accessories on the belt.

Sounds like we both have builds to do. Glad to be hooked up with a good/sound entry level suby swap to begin with. Good history, good seller.

That Add is funny (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) .

Well Arne I am going to just tear into my car Saturday I think. Another drive may just put me off. I am inspired to get my drivetrain out & off to Rich. I take a drive Saturday the 45min down to Cars & Coffee. I am more likely to stretch that drive out longer. So I better just buckle down & get my heater going in my shop. Going to be a cold day so think I'll clean up some while I let it heat up. Then pull my car in & get busy.

I have my core unit in the fresh air box which McMark built for me. The condenser is there in front of my radiator already. The compressor will just be in the stock spot on my motor. So I just need to run my lines. Wasn't sure where I plan to run my lines. Considered just going through the center tunnel with them. Possible down the side of the longs like the oil lines typically are run. I just remember you bought all the stuff to make your own lines. So figured you are my new best friend (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif)

If'n you'll pay the shipping both ways I'll send it your way. PM me when you get ready to do the AC or before you buy any parts for it. Kent (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
EDIT: I'll send you the hole punch as well. That will take a few hours off the job by itself.

Okay well I've got a few picture. First 2 are of my 09 2.5 turbo motor on the stand. Then my car on the rack & an underside picture from the back. I've got to go do a few things now so plan to pull the motor in a few hours

Didn't make to much progress yesterday. Ended up having a busy afternoon. Went out for a while in the evening. Got may radiator lines drained. Unplugged a few things. Went to take off the outer CV's & 3 out of my 8 bolts were stripped. Anyone have a good trick for getting those? I have the official 8mm starred bit to pull them. I did not strip them trying to pull them. That was left for me unfortunately (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) . So after a while I gave up & called it a night. Hope to go out for a while before the super bowl but we'll see

Cut the heads off with a grinder. Once the head is off, they usually spin out by hand if the PO didn't put thread locker on them.

They make drifts you can drive into them, and back them out. But another solution, just unbolt the trailing arms.
