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.

suaveflooder · 12-19-2013, 12:24 PM

Here we go again! Can't wait to see the progress!!

CSG Mike · 12-19-2013, 12:35 PM

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.
