06 2.5RS with Eaton Supercharger

I'm at a loss.

(But it is pretty cool.)

 

Which part? The grill welder?

 

could be worse.. could have tore apart a perfect STi and be building a drag car in his garage....

 

I think mostly the unbridled desire to ruin a perfectly good car.

 

I find that funny. I do have to give him props for fabbing up his own SC kit in a weekend though.

I wonder how it pulls. 10.5:1 CR + 4PSI = Fun times!

 

somehow I doubt it was done in a weekend

 

Couldn't they have done it without cutting an atrocious rectangular hole in the hood with a long ass belt coming right up out of it?

I mean, people have fit superchargers under Subaru hoods before.

I wonder if he tuned it appropriately.

 

FTA:

Doesn't appear so. I agree with the "fitting the supercharger under the hood" statement. I do applaud his desire to blast go fast bits to his 2.5i, though.

lol wow. It looks like it has a laser canon on the hood. It's a twisted metal car!

 

Hmm...not sure what to think about this one. That's almost as unnecessary as the 502 cubic-inch Chevy crate engine I saw shoehorned into a mid-90's Honda at the big Car Craft show in the twin cities..but not quite.

 

I like it.
