ATW?

They aren't far from that now with 300hp ish at the wheels?

I mostly made it up, so don't quote me.

[Crash Dummy]

EZ suffers from then wall bores and open deck.
Any decent cyl pressure will move the bore and cause BHG.

If you manage to sneak some real boost in and it holds up, rods are weak as piss. Also the big end bearing surface is only 70% as big as it could/should be, so any det at all would punish the little bearings quick smart.

The guys are right to be cautious.

If I recall Marty mentioned something about if the bores don't oval we're all good. The open deck causing blown head gaskets could be a saving grace. If it'll blow head gaskets before it puts holes in the block that's got to be a good thing right ? good excuse anyway to open it up and build it. These can be converted to closed deck can't hey by adding dowels between the outer cylinder wall and the outer block casting ?

I was going to go sign up to the forum to argue with everyone

Mine was converted to closed deck, was welded up.

Yeah staying on the safe side cause i'd rather get in a few runs to see what its capable of than blow it up on the dyno and have to start from scratch.

A build isn't out of the question it'd just take some big dollars i don't have at the moment. But if the motor/car combo proves itself it could be entirely worth doing, no plans to get rid of it any time soon.

It's not worth it, just enjoy the awesome car that subaru should have built.

You only need to use 2 gears if you aren't in a hurry, 2nd is good from 0-80, 6th pulls good from 40-240.

Money spent building that engine properly builds 3 volvos, each one probably faster than the liberty.

Actually that leads into another question about a project like this.... how much of the costs (parts/labour) come from the 'show' budget/income.... as opposed out of your own pockets? If your own budget.... double kudos for putting your own cash out there to create some awesome videos for the rest of us to watch.

[myliberty]

What show income?

[nevans]

3 million YouTube views on the gramps series.

Sponsors? I don't imagine Castrol, Garrett & Haltech are charging rrp for their products.

3 million YouTube views wouldn't buy a bottle of JD and Idon't pay RRP for castrol, Garrett or haltech. What's your point?

[10sec rx7]

Um 3 million views pays fuck loads.. I know guys that get Hundreds a month from less than 10000 views...

[BigMuz]

It absolutely depends on who watches your stuff and how much someone will pay for a click from them and how often that converts to a sale.

The MCM demographic may not be the highest paying demographic..

YouTube earnings and sponsors products contribute to show earnings. I'm not saying it's heaps. It's probably very modest. But there'd be a bit.

[Cliffordcliffs]

Well,

I hope these guys make a packet load so they can keep doing crazy things and document them for us free to view.

No hate for moots, i reckon he's funny as.
