I Dyno'd My Supercharged Subaru

Eaton's are used by a lot of manufacturers. Ford, GM, Dodge, Mercedes, Aston Martin, Toyota all used Eaton at some point. M62 and M90 are probably the most common superchargers on the planet.

Bravo dude, that’s insane… 400tq at 3100rpm

[@FoulDeformity]

If that was on e85 corn juice, that hp/tq range seems about normal...I think on 91 it should be in the lower 300 range. +/- margin of error of course from various factors. Anyways, very cool and unique build and videos...cheers!

[@RandySpycyWeinr]

Unmatched when it comes to smiles per gallon.

[@TexasGTO]

It made way more than I thought. But honestly after seeing the numbers I started to process you put a smaller pulley on it and it's made for v6. So it does make sense that it makes more power than I initially thought.

[@grimlogg174]

Let's blow up a CVT next 😆

[@justindurr6349]

[@StormHawksHD]

That is insanely good power. Lets be honest here, if you boost a wrx ej25 to those numbers it'll throw a rod or blow a HG. The EZ30 is an insanely good and slept on platform.

You seen Ali Afshar? He's one of the subie kings w/o a doubt (along with toni rigoli from Oz) subaru puts their factory warranties on his street car builds He kept setting records for fastest/quickest awd subie in the early '00's, one was an 1100hp street legal full car with radials that ran 8's in the 150's (0-60 1.9 secs) Then he took a 3.3 from an svx & stuck it in a brz & twin turbo'd it to 1400 HP (iirc, old memories) & was hitting 7's Look him up, not hard to find vids here Esx motorsports, enjoy!

Exciting stuff. Just found this channel last week and binged most of it. Here we are🤘😎🤙

[@AlternateRye]

Buy a legacy spec.b 6mt if you are worried about the price of the STI 6mt. It will save you about 1-2 grand depending on where you get it. The downside is the open front differential, and the 1.1:1 center diff. However, they do have taller later gears, which a lot of people(including myself) find very enticing. They are abundant online. Anyhow, this build is very impressive, I aspire to reach your kind of fab work myself one day, since I am just a hobbyist myself. The armchair commenters are just unaware of how these things actually work and what is worth putting more effort into and what isn't.

[@justinallan5037]

I'm glad the algorithm sent your channel my way. I love your approach to hot rodding: just get it going and drive it! The obvious next thing to do IMO is take it to your local drag strip

[@garrettautenrieth2375]

I had issues blowing up 5speeds. I ended up putting Lucas oil 250w gear oil in it and haven’t had any gears break yet. Its been taking over a year of beating with 500hp and 450 torque!

[@emperorbobarino]

I think the engine setup and power are perfect. My suggestion would just slowly start feeding it STI suspension, drivetrain, and brake parts as time a budget allow. If you still like it after all that consider wheels, job done. Such a setup would probably be one of the best, most well rounded Subaru builds ever done.

[@DustyKelley2000]

I just stumbled upon your channel man, and I have to say it is extremely refreshing. Nearly every other channel I've watched gets caught up in throwing the best, top of the line, over engineered everything at something just for minimal gain. And let's be honest, your average car enthusiast isn't going to have the budget to waste money on many of these high-dollar parts. You sir, have easily earned a new follower.

So I got a couple sets of motor mounts here I could send you... also I have been wondering if the 5speeds did work with the H6 motor. It's a swap I've been thinking of doing for about a year to my 2001 legacy wagon. And yes I blew up my transmission as well. I'm on my back up trans but I don't have a backup trans for my backup transmission in case I need another back up transmission. And yes a 6 speed swap is in my cars plans soonish

Quick maf's (20%) tells me around 450hp at the crank. Impressive. Send it! 😂

[@eurobeataddict103]

I was not expecting THAT jump in horsepower for this car, i was expecting 289hp at best, despite the fact that the engine is a flat 6. And i have found out, that you can make same power with a turbo, but knowing from your last video, you will blow it up. Great work, hope more videos come out soon.

[@Elver_Galarga_jugo]

I didnt think an M90 was capable of moving enough air to make almost 400whp, i figured youd make 300whp tops. Fucking love it!

[@sjhudon386]

You sure you didn't get a terminator blower by accident 😅

[@Carguylogan]

It isn't. Not even close. Those guys did something very very sus with the dyno software. Something went down, an M90 ain't making 400 wheel. Not ever. Has never happened on Earth. The blower whine is way too low pitched to even try to attempt a high power run- listen to it. That blower would have to have a tiny pulley and would be SCREAMING and still wouldn't make 380. That dyno is off by like 100+ hp

[@sjhudon386]

@@Carguylogan I didn't think so either. But I just watched Richard Holdener make 450 with a GenV M90 on top of a 4.8 Ls motor. His latest video series. Mind blown

@@sjhudon386 With a lot of pulley. This guy is running the stock pulley ratio, he says it in the video and you can hear it too. To make 387 an unported M90 would be absolutely screaming. And I still don't think it'd do it. This video is a stock M90 with the stock pulley ratio making 8 psi. There's no way it made 387 wheel lol.

Yeah numbers did seem a bit high, but I'm only as good as my tools, and the dyno is a tool. I had planned to go to the track today but it was closed due to weather. Trying to get some runs in before the end of the season

[@fun6243]

Top end lubricant is important. Mystery oil or Lucas oil treatment, I prefer mystery. The heat expansion on the head plus wet rings is better. It's been the difference between a re ring and more runs than not.

[@Mardy72]

Another comment for the algorithm. I'd love to see some upgrades done to this project, but not power upgrades. It's making great power and bordering on the the limit of the stock internals. I would like to see some thermal efficiency upgrades. I'm in Australia (g'day mate) and we have some fantastic companies down here that put alot of r&d into the supercharged L67 engine. Mace Engineering is one of them. The do a lightened rotor kit for the m90 which increases response and loweres inlet temperature. They also do air to air and water to air intercooler plates....thermal insulated spacers as well. Many other places make kits like this, I'm just using these guys as an example. I know you mentioned it was pretty knock free but any engine could benift from a cooler intake charge. Mo cold mo better. I expect the aluminium plenum is helping with a bit of heat transfer too. Would be interesting to see the intake air temps. Fenix radiators do a great upgraded radiator for the EZ30 as well. Over twice the thickness of a standard core. Benifits to be had from an external engine oil cooler ( over the factory one ) and maybe even a transmission cooler too....that might help that poor little 5 speed live a bit longer. Someone mentioned using 250w gear oil in the 5 speed...and i also 2nd this motion. A dash of friction modifier wouldnt hurt either. Keep an eye on the accessory drive tensioner pulley, they like to undo themselves and fall off. It's awesome to see you using an Aussie ECU as well 👍 I totally understand this is a budget build. Im 100% all for that. Im not trying to make you spend money, just offering suggestions and being part of the chat. Cheers 👍

There's a number of these making awesome power here in Aus, I met a bloke about 11 years ago now who had a gen 3 outback with the auto, supercharged with water to air intercooler and meth. Made 400whp and so much torque, it squated the towbar into the ground. These engines are sooo slept on, been saying it for years. Will eventually build one with forged goodies but keeping the stock comp. Given 10psi through a gtx3576r on e makes 400whp, 20 psi should see 500whp relatively easily.
