This is my daily driver. It's acquired the name Turbs. It's a plain old 97' Outback, a common sight around Fort Collins, Colorado, but this one is a little different. I've made it to be sturdy, fast, all-purpose, and all weather.
It's had lots and lots of different engine/ FI setups, so I'll list them all here, in sort of chronological order.
First SC build (fall/summer 09)
- Eaton M62 roots supercharger
- 06 WRX TMIC
- Turbo XS BOV
- RalliTEK PP6
A few shots, see build thread link in signature for the whole thing.
A couple variants of this build:
First, smaller pulley + TMIC:
Experimental non-intercooled, relocated TB variant:
Another non-intercooled setup:
FMIC version with relocated throttle body (awful, awful drivability; lasted about a day on this one)
Giant pulley with electric clutch, FMIC:
Then, the madness began: Twin charger? Yes...
My all-time favorite SC setup: TMIC with big pulley, and a sneaky intake design. I miss this.
Then came the turbo setups:
-JC Sports Turbo Kit, TD04
Another funky variation for the intake:
Then, I sold the turbo kit, and pieced together a WRX-style turbo setup:
-Megan header, TD04, stock WRX TMIC
Bigger VF34:
Then, I blew that engine around 250 WHP on E85
So , I found a JDM EJ20H, and resealed that, and threw it in:

History:
I got her in December of 2007 from Nice Car Subaru in Fort Collins, a hole-in-the-wall shop that rebuilds and sells Subies. She had a brand new short block, a rebuilt transmission, new clutch, brakes, tires, and CV joints. Mechanically, it was basically a new car. This car has been through a lot.
