Nice looking Outback. I really love that color. But you have to want to turn the wick up on that thing :)

I agree ^ passing 330/380 on less than that- There's A LOT of room between you and I. However, like you, I also lost my first motor :(

Yes I know my engine could do more, but as brob1986 pointed out, a track tune is different than a street tune. I specifically told IAG I would be tracking the car and wanted the engine and tune to be able to hold up.

 

@OppositeLock, I don't know what the weight of the car is. I took out all the extra stuff out of the car, like spare tire, floor mats, rear head rests etc. Outbacks are supposed to be couple hundred pounds heavier than WRX's.

Here is a few more videos of my Outback at VIR. Two of the videos are of full track sessions.

Any mods to enhance cooling? What water and oil temps do you see? My tuned stage 2 setup doesn't allow more than 5 or so all-out laps (no traffic) before I need to take it easy due to climbing temps.

 

I'm all stock as far as oil and water. I haven't had any issue, my temps don't go up any higher than normal street use. Oil temp is usually around 100C (the OEM STI gauges are in metric) and water temp gauge is right in the middle.

 

I have saw some guys install oil coolers and larger radiators.

I have a similar build with a similar hp/tq result. For the same reason...at the track, it doesnt matter if you can hit a number once, it matters whether you can hit the same number minute after minute, session after session, track day after track day.

 

I took almost 70 tq off the first dyno run to what I actually showed up at the track with. Still happy with that choice.

Sorry for belated response but I'm running LGT rear calipers. DBA rotors all around.
