Congrats on the nice numbers!

Hydra is only scaled to 30.4 psi, and uses an internal Map sensor.. so you can not run more than that. Kinda sux, but we are in the works of trying to figure out how we can make it to run more.Originally Posted by Big Baller
chop out that 3bar map sensor and find a way to stuff in a 5bar.
Wow thats pretty crazy. Kinda sucks really, why in the hell would they do that.
Matt
I think Dan can work around it. I'm not worry about making it past 30psi.
Yea, you just proved my point.not much of a power adder there... should keep the bottle in the fridge and maybe mix in some alky, then it might be good for a couple hp.
What you would spray with water and why out of that kind of container by the dyno, I have no idea.
I thought it looked like a alky sprayer already
I didn't know you helped tune the cars up there Tray.
I think Tray is working there now, maybe he got a my first tuner playset as well.
LOL
Matt
You're too much. I always look forward, reading what you post Matt. LOL
i took the term "we" as meaning the shop...
what point did i prove? that it's a water bottle?Yea, you just proved my point.

But generally one has to be affliated with the shop in order to say we.
Getting work done there doesn't count as affliated to me.
Tray is a full time employee for Topspeed now, he works the front end taking orders, processing payments, and shipping.
Doug
he was working the front office when i was there...
Oh ok.
I used to hear him talk about this awesome job he had so I assumed he kept that. Didn't know he was now employeed at Topspeed. Good for him.
I think the biggest obstacle to going higher than 30 psi is still going to be the block. It is built, but it is not a closed deck block. It has upgraded internals but it is still semi closed. The main reason I went with it is because I know the weakness of the stock pistons not so much to make stupid power. I wanted reliability. To get into the closed deck motors of 2.5 or higher then you are talking double the price.
My dyno numbers are bigger than your dyno numbers
You proved that water is not much of a power adder (they said that it was a water sprayer)... but if it was alky (like I thought it was, initially) then it might be good for a couple more hp...and then maybe they could break 600.
It was a joke. PLEASE don't get all bent out of shape when there is no need to

Maybe I will throw one of those semi closed decks together this week and see if I can break it. They say 30 psi is the limit, I think It will take more.
Since no, one else seems to have the balls to push it to its limits.(not directed at topspeed but to the subaru community in general)
Matt
Matt, I can't wait to see what it will hold. I'm pretty sure it can handle more than 30 psi. Yeah I think closed deck is the way to go if you want alot more power......Matt I guess me and you will find out soon what psi the closed decks will hold...........LoL
shhh
shhhhh, I hunting "rabbits"
ha
(yes that was a gti crack Paul)
Matt
We have noticed that not all water is created equal, while the normal tap water usually does not net any HP gains, we only use Blue Ridge Mountain water . Which on a good day is worth about 15hp. I have seen some of the more exotic waters such as Evian net up to 25hp gains but its just not as cost effective.You proved that water is not much of a power adder (they said that it was a water sprayer)... but if it was alky (like I thought it was, initially) then it might be good for a couple more hp...and then maybe they could break 600.

Disclaimer: For those who can't tell this post is a joke.
Clark from Kingpin has pushed the EJ blocks over 30psi and most of them tend to crack the cylinder liners at that level. Even with no Det the liners will split from the pressures.
Doug
Edit: Guessing maybe that was your block I saw at the machine shop.
Doug, but where's the fun if you don't break stuff?
Breaking stuff is fine... when its your own car. Not customers, I have not met many customers that have said "ok now lets push it till it breaks, just to see how high we can go". In all honesty there is not much point of pushing this car another 30hp when you wouldn't even feel the difference.
Doug
Doug I know.......I'm just messing with you again.
nope
I "ass u me" you mean at eagle machine. That is incorrect, my machine work is done by Ball engines in Lilburn.
Matt
Hey uh who is who here? New to the site, not a local but that seems pretty impressive. almost 600 to the ground? damn. think I might have to be doin some more work in my piece before I debut in the ATL. later
there is always someone faster than you.
Oh I think there is more in there
I think there is more than 30hp being left on the table, thats why I want to break one and find out.
Matt
Matt, please let me know when you are going to do this!!!!!
I would love to come and watch this take place.
I'm Matt
Yeah 600hp is not bad. There are a few other really sick subarus that are about to drop as well.
I see you Val.
Come on
more 600 awhp? is everyone able to do this or is there one shop? where I come from there is no import power. only domestics.
there is always someone faster than you.
shops
I use Batlground, you will find that most people in the subaru community feel pretty strongly about their shop of choice.
Matt
Come on Val...I miss seeing your post.
who made the 592?
there is always someone faster than you.
That would be
That would be ********
Dan(WRX STI) made 592whp on his Sti.
well that was very insightful.
He did it himself?
there is always someone faster than you.
sorry I forgot you were new
Its kinda an inside joke
Topspeed built his car
ok. for a sec I thought I had been on here for 30 min. and already an asshole. but thanks.
there is always someone faster than you.
