    Porsche, VW, etc don't rumble as Subaru, no. Perhaps they did at one time. Other boxers could, however, it will depend on 'other' design and eventually exhaust headers. How Subaru came out with the rumble is makes me curious. Perhaps their first entries into WRC. Don't know.....yet.

    I was referring to power. They don't rumble, I was being sarcastic! Hahaha Nice! What turbine your running currently? How much power are you putting down? Very nice!

    There are quite a few Manga that are close, but then again they are Manga and not Anime. Manga = Japanese comics. I like ID because of the technicality. Fourth Stage more of course. Did you know the series is still on going? It gets even better!

    Subaru N/A's can produce some decent power if modified properly but again so can some of the older boxers from other manufacturers but it will be a price factor too.

    My current turbo is a Blouch 2.5R putting down plenty of power.

    My current turbo is a Blouch 2.5R putting down about 351whp/372wtq, on a Mustang Dyno. It's plenty of power.
    Nice! Any thoughts of E85? I would! Hahahaha

    Shiet now were off topic! Sorry MOD's!

    Yes, something that I realized after being told about the live action movie, which was my first experience with ID. Not a very good one though.

    Yes, it's absolutely amazing because of its technicality, and 4th stage is truly amazing too. I only heard it's still going on but haven't looked into it yet. I know some huge fans and they give me updates...etc.

    Off topics...as long as it returns after this.

    E85 is quite awesome for Subaru and most cars really. Thus far, it would require me to upgrade my injectors to at least 1000cc, where I am 850's now. Other problem would be that this area, does NOT have E85. However, if I was able to run it, I would be running over 400+ wtq with my turbo.
    I'm quite informed by my performance tuning shop mechanics and tuner.

    Yea that live action Chinese movie ain't cutting it! If it was your first experience with ID then that sucks. So boo boo and they butchered the original Manga story.

    Yea Shigeno didn't stop writing the Manga. Animators have been catching up and they will finally release the first episode this year. Pretty much Takumi and friends head to conquer Kanagawa! If you don't know where that is it's pretty much the Tokyo area. It's also mentioned that is the "hotspot" of the "scene" so it will be a challenge for Project D.

    Yea, E85 is gold but hard to find! Really huh, I don't know about the 08 + but you can get away with 850cc on 05+. I guess it's pretty much dependent on the tuner.

    I've heard and seen those attempts...eventually they upgrade to at least 1000cc to get max power.


    Sorry folks...we'll get back on topic...

    Do you know your IDC's? I'm assuming their almost max since you claim you need 1000cc to run E85 or your turbo has a high lb/mm rate? All you need is 30% more flow than stock since E85 gets sucked quicker than normal pump gas. But I'm sure you already knew all this, hahahaha. Would like to see pics of the beast and awesome setup!

    West - thanks for getting all this info on the site, its excellent. I still like this car, styling is definately more European and American than the original FT-86. Production model debuts at the Tokyo Motor Show in Oct/Nov (?) this year. Can't wait to see the final version.
