Time Attack Impreza Dominates GP Circuit | SubiNats 2019 | fullBOOST

We first saw Michael Garland’s Subaru Impreza around 18 months ago where the car was initially setup in naturally aspirated form. Since then an ever dependable JDM Subaru EJ207 2L has been fitted with the only internal change being a set of head studs. Externally a Blouch turbocharger helps make 375hp to the wheels.
Michael was competing in the annual SubiNats event at the Phillip Island Grand Prix circuit and came home in first position in the GotItRex sponsored Super Sprint class.

I'm convinced there's a VL somewhere in Melbourne missing its turbo boys after hearing this car. 😉

[@gemini3558]

MafiaboysWorld hehe haha lol 😜👍🇦🇺

[@tmmtmm]

needs REX747 plates

[@wobblysauce]

Choo choo

[@WahringRaceWorks]

Awesome review on Michaels super clean build. Love this car

[@gregbrindley1581]

Great coverage boys.

[@tepidtuna7450]

Great video, subject, narration, direction/editing and driving. These videos are severely under-liked. +1 from me. Time attack is growing and very interesting. I love drag too and hope to see more time attack videos in future. Good work lads.

[@joebaxter4235]

Sounds like a night in Bankstown NSW. fullBOOST becomes fullSICK.

[@trickylifts]

absolutely love this car

[@nismofreak33]

damn this thing moves! hell yeah!

[@pswmetalmonkey]

A subi that hasnt blown up at the track yet? amazing!

[@lukenevell5900]

Oh yes 💪💪💪💪💪

[@jonty3000]

the pigeon is staunch

[@GMH383]

What steering wheel is that? It looks really nice and beefy.

[@ttamn92]

I built a semi competitive GD WRX for time attack back in the very early days of the program but I couldn't think about the cost to build that level of car now even then it was around the 70k mark for my shop to build the car with myself doing most of everything after hours spending as little as possible but the level of vehicle I see now is both inspiring and shocking knowing what it takes to reach that level.... I darn sure miss those days though!!!!

[@9002alex]

That things hauls ass. Nice work. Simple yet effective package. Don’t need to spend 100k to make a good track car. 👍

[@VS666]

yeah, only about 99k should do it

[@9002alex]

Varg Sutton whatever way you look at it that’s less than 100k isn’t it haha

[@dukess2k213]

love 2jz gte

[@riseauto9551]

Any footage of the GC when it was Naturally aspired

[@MartinMcMartin]

He must have had a VL turbo at some point, to still want that burp chirp.

[@9002alex]

Also for reference, a 911 gt2 does 1:43s around the track. Nice work

[@ShainAndrews]

He whipped a 1:41... with some decent traffic blocking the fast lines. There is a lot more potential in there. Amazing stuff.

[@fullboost]

A lot of these times also come down to the driver skill not just the car.

[@9002alex]

That 1:43 i was referring back too the car was driven by warren luff. So yes you are right haha, driver skill plays a big part

[@ShainAndrews]

@@fullboost Absolutely!

[@eddieyap4830]

hi can share where you buy the dashboard?

[@Rannd]

Which Blouch turbo is on the car though?

[@robertcurnutte24]

What’s the car weight?

[@normalsalaryman]

now im waiting for the internet engine expert to show up and say "turbo flutter is bad for your turbo" LMAO

[@i_am_tinny_man_2267]

so your saying turbo flutter will prolonged turbo life compared to using a BOV?

[@normalsalaryman]

@@i_am_tinny_man_2267 no bov wont destroy your turbo, antilag and over boosting it is.

[@tmmtmm]

boosting your turbo is also bad for your turbo. Best just keep it in the box that it arrived in.

[@i_am_tinny_man_2267]

normalsalaryman who said BOV will destroy your turbo? I asked you if you think a BOV will prolong the life of your turbo or is it better not to use a BOV and let it flutter?

[@normalsalaryman]

@@i_am_tinny_man_2267 i dont say BOV will destroy turbo, boosting +overboost and antilag WILL kill ur turbo..... running BOV or not(fluter) wont affect the turbo life, even if it does,its not that much...less than 5% i suppose

[@tbGTR]

what suspension is this on???

[@ahmedibrahim-ok8rh]

I wonder about car weight !?

[@idontpaytaxes6250]

No music, thank goodness.

[@Kneedragon1962]

Nice work. I think Australian superbike run about 31.5 or 32, but I could be wrong, and I can very clearly remember Rossi getting penalised 10 seconds, so he dug deep and tied together a string about 12 consecutive 29.4s or so, on an NSR500 2smoke... ... and I think a V8 supercar does it in around 28 dead, but they've got heaps of aerodynamic down-force... I know Qld Raceway but I only know PI by reputation. If you can get under 1:50 at a track day, then you shouldn't be in the slow group. If you can get a (fairly) standard road bike, (10R, Gixxer thou or something) on legal street tyres around there in less than 1:40, then you should get a competition license and start adding a bit of race glass... A stock 1000 street bike, on good soft road tyres, with a good A grade rider on, would be able to do about 1:36 or 7... and most of that's not engine, that's tyres, and a bit less weight.

[@wobblysauce]

Yep, depends if running 3 or 4 groups on the day. 2:00 is the other.

[@nickl4815]

Just the standard heads from 96? Or 99 Big port?

[@fullboost]

The earliest EJ207 engine is from the Bug eye STi

[@klootzakklap]

What kind of bov is he running ? Love the sound of it !

[@mattvee2667]

klootzakklap no BOV

[@ShainAndrews]

Yup... that's what you should take away from this...

[@Themayseffect]

fast is fast..but with the amount a ground clearance there, I reckon you can still do a decent rally attack with that setup lol.

[@idin1976]

McPherson suspension is only efficient as a relatively high ride height. You need serious geometry correction to have the suspension work and have a low ride height. Not ideal design. This is why Hondas do so well in Clubsprint and Open class of WTAC. Double wishbone, light weight and good engines.

[@tmmtmm]

@Ed Jack you mean the massive front mount intercooler to enhance the hectik dose

[@jordanp6420]

I have a JDM V8 EJ207 with cast pistons, I wonder if I could get numbers like this... What do you guys think

[@jordanp6420]

KZbinsucks didn’t answer my question, pointless comment.

[@WickedMachineWorks]

The car looks quite high off the ground. Is that a limitation of the class he was in?

[@tmmtmm]

can only lower a car so much before it hurts performance unless you're willing to completely re-engineer the suspension design.

[@wobblysauce]

​@@tmmtmm Yep, same with stiffness.

Not a big fan of wrx's because of the vaping stance boys but this one is awesome.

[@fullboost]

That whole vaping thing is not popular here in Australia.

[@fullboost]

I've seen people vaping at the track but it's not common. When we've been in the US it seems to be everywhere, I've never understood that fad...

[@mountainconstructions]

Not bad from a 23 year old car

[@timjrvine]

Talk about getting the chassis right first.

[@noturbo]

Saabaroo

[@TheCanadianBubba]

The amount of time spent blowing off the boost means they could put more gear in it... no ?

[@fullboost]

What do you mean?

[@TheCanadianBubba]

Is that not the blow off valve we are hearing so much ? Wouldn't a taller gear keep the engine in its usable power band longer ?

[@TheCanadianBubba]

Or is it more that there is so much boost being produced and used up to that point that it must instantly be vented when the driver lifts off of the accelerator ?

[@fullboost]

I don't believe there is a BOV fitted to this engine, the noise is 'flutter' on throttle lift.

[@TheCanadianBubba]

I see, would have thought that for any noise like that to come from the car that it would have to come out the exhaust or be released via a blow-off valve or wastegate. And that otherwise, it would impede operation or take too long to restore a proper manifold pressure to be a competitive setup. I must be mistaken. Thanks for word

[@bnz500]

Having it surge like that is so dangerous. Hes going to blow his jocks and make a mess all over the seat..

[@AD690smcr]

The blow off valve would be really annoying

[@traceypotts9425]

370 hp is nothing these days lmfao
