It's going to become really, really long. Things we'll be testing: - Fluids (Engine, brake fluid, diff, transmission) - Brakes and Brake pads - Wheels/Tires - Forced Induction - Suspension - Aerodynamics Testing venues - Street driving (Mike will be forced to daily drive it at times for comfort, as well as the almighty "Girl test") - Canyons/Mountains/Spirited - Dynos - Track This initial post will serve as a directly of links to update posts. 12/19/2013 - Sneak Preview 12/19/2013 - Schedule for the first weekend. 12/23/2013 - Supercharger Installation and initial impressions 12/23/2013 - Dyno and impressions 12/23/2013 - Cold and hot start videos 12/26/2013 - Street driving impressions 12/26/2013 - Comparison with another FA20 using the same kit, but with breathing mods and a custom tune. 12/28/2013 - Testing at Chuckwalla Valley Raceway 12/31/2013 - Datalogs from CVR with just tires and the Jackson Racing Supercharger 12/31/2013 - Track Shakedown Video 1/21/2014 - Oil cooler testing and first 2014 86 CUP 1/27/2014 - More track testing and some sustained heat stressing For random (and sometimes faster) updates, add us on Facebook! http://www.facebook.com/CounterSpaceGarage And of course, some shoutouts. @B L U E S L A T E - For allowing us to use your car for development while our car is/was down. And for forcing us to live the hellaflush life. Church Automotive Testing - Tunes and the countless reliable miles driven on those tunes. @Evasive Motorsports - Inspiring us and being the go-to shop to when we started. We would not be here had Evasive not been around when we were just getting our feet wet. @HeubergerMotors - Clint is THE man to talk to if you want ANY Subaru. We got our 2014 for less than our 2013! @ImperiousRex - For allowing us to use your car for development while our car is/was down. @robispec - Always encouraging us to try new things, and pushing the envelope. West End Alignment - For the being absolute best alignment shop on the west coast. Chris and Darin are able to hit our specs every time, and give us feedback in ways that we don't see ourselves.

reserved for select pictures, as the thread evolves
The kit uses factory routing, except where the idler is added for additional belt wrap around the supercharger. As you can see, it's SUPER easy to inspect the belt. The factory tensioner holds the belt in place, and the belt itself can be replaced by just lowering the tensioner, same as stock. Big pulley is the crank pulley Silver = alternator. Down/right from silver = pulley added by the Supercharger. Right of that is the supercharger itself and its pulley Top pulley is the AC pulley. Left of it is the supercharger.

Car has about 580 miles on it right now.
Baseline dynos will be on Saturday morning, and Supercharger install Saturday afternoon. More dynoing Saturday night (if possible), and if we can dyno to make sure everything is going right on Saturday night, then we'll be hitting the track Sunday morning. We won't be changing any fluids for the first track day and dynos, but we WILL throw on brake pads and brake fluid (onto the stock calipers). No alignment, no tires. We want to literally baseline the car. |
