Nightmaresmk Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Of course it's a "taboo" outback that looks like a catfish. Body mods are normally frowned upon along with setting an off road styled wagon up for track use. I love it. Keep us updated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boxkita Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 subscribed for....interestingness. The exhaust I built is already a single but in thinking about building a new one and doing a blown diffuser when I think of blown diffuser, Im envisioning this (when you're done, please post a night shot): Build my car Boxkita Track days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustinsonger Posted November 9, 2013 Author Share Posted November 9, 2013 Sorry guys no update yet. Waiting till class is over to get it done. But soon. The kittycatfishobxtmustachefaceangrything will be even more interesting Haha. Oh and Boxkita, that's almost exactly the same thing I think of every time I think of hot explosive gasses getting forced into a stream of compresses air coming out the back of a car...

dustinsonger Posted November 15, 2013 Author Share Posted November 15, 2013 Whoever's black legacy that was tonight thank you very much for making me want power now, ya jerk. Haha. Oh man you guys, update I guess. Looks like I'm going be rebuilding the motor now. I think she's losing her rings finally at 113k. Need to do a compression test to make sure but she's burning a lot of oil and it better not be my vf52 that I've only put 5k on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxkita Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 I'm zooming down the carpool lane when pass a wagon that had a catfish front end. By the time I realized I was past. Waited for you to catch up. Big change from last time I saw it. The rumbly exhaust sounds good. Kept looking for the diffuser, where is it? more power? You're gonna need alot to that black legacy.

dustinsonger Posted November 15, 2013 Author Share Posted November 15, 2013 The splitter you mean? Its off right now. Pain in the ass to drive around the streets with it on Haha. So that was you then? Sorry I didn't recognize you Haha. There's no way you were flooring it on those pulls then, you werent pulling on me much, if any Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTEASER Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 The exhaust I built is already a single but in thinking about building a new one and doing a blown diffuser I hate to be a debbie downers but good luck getting the coanda effect to work around the aerodynamics of a wagon.

dustinsonger Posted November 15, 2013 Author Share Posted November 15, 2013 The coanda effect is not being applied in the diffuser... the diffuser works off of applying the bernoulli principle and a blown diffuser just takes that affect and multiplies it. But in reference to the wagons body you are correct in that the coanda effect will be hard to achieve across the whole surface Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I didn't recognize you Haha. There's no way you were flooring it on those pulls then, you werent pulling on me much, if any I was dead on my feet tired and crappy tires, mostly 5th gear pulls. I couldn't get the down shift to work (too tired). I was trying to find your phone number to get you to pull over. have to meet up some day and see the latest changes.

dustinsonger Posted November 15, 2013 Author Share Posted November 15, 2013 I wanted to stop as well but I was in a pretty bad mood (hence the driving like that Haha. Don't normally do that) and I was in a hurry to get to puyallup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dustinsonger Posted November 17, 2013 Author Share Posted November 17, 2013 thats my buddy, his porsche that i built canards and a carbon splitter for is behind my car in that shot and hes taking rolling shots of it while im getting shots of mine haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustinsonger Posted November 18, 2013 Author Share Posted November 18, 2013 Oh and I want to apologize for my misuse of the coanda effect in the blown diffuser. I was confusing it for basic laminar flow. You were correct gteaser. It will be a pain to get it to work but its a pain in any car. The only people to use it effectively are f1 teams with millions of dollars of r&d and mine will most likely be a giant waste of time but honestly, why not try? It will be interesting either way.

dustinsonger Posted December 4, 2013 Author Share Posted December 4, 2013 definitely wasn't my scene though. that whole audi/vw world is a sad place to be. Im a nissan guy at heart (and i dont mean 240's), my first car was a 1984 300zx that i spent way too much money and time building, but i learned alot from it. Mostly because building an import in wyoming is a very lonely affair, especially when your wiring in a standalone among other stuff. But i ended up with over 480 rwhp so no complaints in the end http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s89/Dustinz31/DSCF0137.jpg also had an r32 skyline and a 200sx (s13 chassis with a ca18) when i was stationed in italy. also had an evo 9 mr that my ex took in the divorce. http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s89/Dustinz31/Ebo/2010-10-30_13-24-36_617.jpg then finally after the audi tried to kill me for like the 7th time i got rid of that and bought my dream car, a manual boosted wagon.

dustinsonger Posted December 5, 2013 Author Share Posted December 5, 2013 I've always wanted a wagon to build. Seemed like a fun way to always get interesting looks from people. And it really came down to an 05-09 outback xt or an Audi all road and after all of the crap that my Audi put me through, plus finding an obxt with a 5 speed I jumped in. Definitely never saw myself in a Subaru but hey, its worked out pretty good. Now that I'm getting the suspension worked out this thing is really coming into its own. I will always miss my 80's Nissans though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
