THAT IS the word that sums up the Dreadnought at this very moment. I had high hopes for our mean little wagon, our Cutlass-waving marauder on the high seas of the American highway, but, alas, the wind is still out of her sails. I have been working on replacing the little 1.8-liter stock engine with a built block. Everything was going so well. To give the little wagon a bigger punch, I went with a set of EJ20G heads with Delta Camshaft regrinds and an EJ255 block with CP forged pistons. I assembled and installed the engine myself. To my chagrin, the first attempt at starting the car resulted in half the gas tank flowing out the tailpipe. This, I think, ruined the en- gine, as cranking an engine over with that much fuel is bound to ruin the rings or the bores or both. We did get the fueling issue resolved and the engine started, but the car runs very roughly and was not happy. To make matters worse, she would spit giant clouds of oil smoke out the back. A compression test shows two cylinders at 114psi and the other two at less than 90psi. Not good at all. The next step is to pull the engine, tear it down and see what gives, then start all over. Hopefully by the time you read the next issue, we will have a running car. Cross your fingers. —Travis Geny Project Big Power STI OUR PROJECT STI has taken a bit of a back seat to other cars lately, but the good news is, it is running. Tim Bailey, our Technical Editor, reworked the turbo kit to take on a huge Garrett GT4092 turbo. While the car is in a mild state of tune, the fact that 800cc injectors are too small for lots of boost on this snail means the car is putting down a measly 500whp. That figure, once the secondary 1000cc injectors have been installed, should jump to well over 700whp and possibly as much as 800900whp. That is all just hype and hope at this point, but 500whp is nothing to balk at. In the meantime, we will be waiting for an AEM EMS plug-and-play stand alone for the drive-by-wire system and also looking at installing a dry-sump system on this car. But that will have to wait until Tim’s RS is finished (see next page). Until then, his racecar is his daily driver. At least his four-year old daughter does not mind. Apparently, Daddy’s racecar is much more fun to ride in than Mommy’s stock WRX. http://RacingBrake.com http://SubaruGenuineParts.com http://SubaruWRXParts.com http://Subiesport.com
