Engine Stage 2
Reality Checks for Comparison
As previously explained, using the different types of facilities now available to us we decided throughout the year to constantly measure the vehicles performance.
All figures and comparisons are based on the Spec C with Engine Stage 2 - TEST2 configuration. Also please remember this is a Newage, so has increased weight over a Classic shaped Subaru.
Using the RaceLogic Driftbox
0-60 3.85 seconds
0-100 9.50 seconds
Times above attained at Bruntingthorpe in 27deg ambient temps.
Using EcuTek Road Dyno
40 - 60mph = 2.0 seconds
50 - 70mph = 1.9 seconds
60 - 80mph = 2.0 seconds
70 - 90mph = 2.3 seconds
80 -100mph = 2.8 seconds
Times above ran in 4th gear.
Avon Park Drag Strip
1/4m 12.5 seconds
0-60ft 1.6 seconds
Times above in cold conditions (i.e. cold strip using cold R888 tyres) which resulted in the car wheelspinning in 1st and 2nd.
Based on the results above you will see the car can certainly shift. Admittedly it is'nt going to win any awards for it's times, but for it's level of tune and it's weight, the car is very quick. Most of the results from above were also taken during none ideal conditions. If everything came together on the day, I have no doubts that the above times could be bettered.
Sometime ago a well known glossy motoring magazine did a comparison of various Subaru modification packages available. The most powerfullest conversion was a package by one of the biggest respected Subaru tuners at the time, with a Newage car producing over 430bhp/390lbft and costing over £15k for the conversion.
For comparison that car produced the following times:
Another Tuners Newage Conversion results - 430bhp/390lbft
40 - 60mph = 3.8 seconds
50 - 70mph = 2.7 seconds
60 - 80mph = 2.3 seconds
70 - 90mph = 2.4 seconds
80 -100mph = 2.8 seconds
All taken in 4th gear.
0-60 3.90 seconds
0-100 9.40 seconds
1/4m 12.5 seconds
Again.... this clearly shows how fast the Spec C is at this modification level.
