Didn't even feel it! Drove the Gorester to work today. That's one great way to enjoy a commute... It definitely needs working fans on the intercooler and the radiator. The heat soak gets pretty bad after a bit and you can feel it way down on power.

I've always wondered because you always hear turbo'd rally cars make that sound but my only turbo experience is diesel pickups. Or am I being whooshed?

Yeah, that's what the choochoo/"dose" sound is caused by. If you get a single PSHHHHT that's a blowoff valve, but when you get the flutter, that's either no blowoff valve or one that is set to stay closed at too high of a pressure. When you come off-throttle, the turbo is still spinning, but the throttle is closed, so the compressed air in the intake manifold has nowhere to go. Normally, blowoff opens and releases pressure. With no blowoff valve, the compressor keeps pumping air into the manifold, the compressor stalls, and some air sneaks back out. GFB explain it better here. It's bad for the bearings in the turbo, but it's relatively hard to crash a journal bearing turbo like the one in the Gorester, so ain't care. Racecars/rallycars will often run without a BOV as they have wide, sudden changes in throttle and running no BOV keeps pressure up during shifts or brief moments off-throttle at the expense of turbo life. In a racecar you don't really care about turbo life as long as it's longer than a race, so.

You wont really hear it on the Turbodiesels either, as they pretty much run wide open air all the time (hence why they idle at 100+:1 AFR's) and vary fueling to vary output, so even when you lift off your throttle you just pump heaps of air through the engine with little fuel.

Just had a coworker I've never met before follow me to my office to tell me he loved my "no fucks forester". This is a super professional office and the fact that some random dude said "no fucks forester" in his first sentence to me kind of makes everything wonderful. Edit: ahaha my boss just asked if I'd seen "that rat rod Subaru in the parking lot". There's like 5,000 employees in this office. Adiabatic fucked around with this message at 13:35 on May 3, 2016 |

Or a deep, primal longing, one which the viewer never quite realized he had within him. A sense that there is another way to live, a jungle way, a way of fire and blood and dust and raw passion and uninhibited desires. This car says to an ancient part of the human soul that it doesn't have to be this way, this grand edifice of normal life, this beige, comfortable, pedestrian existence.

I was kinda thinking it would be like a top down view of the crank and the four pistons. Sorta like this but more sexual and also with the rods on the correct sides. Seat Safety Switch fucked around with this message at 05:05 on May 6, 2016 |

I'm down on boost (I think) Boost gauge gonna get on got, same with a new rear O2 sensor for the dang AFR gauge so I can have some feedback Junkyard trip SOOOOON to source me a 2.2 shortblock. If I'm going to NEFR in July, I'm bringing a spare engine with me. Radiator and intercooler fans are also on the list. I replaced both headlights and one of the turn signals. Waiting on the other turn signal to show up so I can get the windshield done and get it inspected. Thanks Dr. Fozzenstein for instructing me on how to actually drive this thing... apparently lots of left foot braking and praying are required. On the advice of the good doctor, I'm using my left foot to do all braking for a while in order to acquire some finesse.

Honestly if you $400 shortblock it I can get it turned around in a day now. Just get new headgaskets and a new timing kit and work with me on a weekend I can come down.

Really anywhere with a hoist is good. These don't need lifts at all. If you're swapping shortblocks grabs a stand too, else just the hoist and a flat piece of land.
