Will be filming again this weekend- have had some trouble with the engine monitor talking to the engine control unit, other things, but have been running at 5000 rpm now- need to keep boost in check- working on that, the turbo is really whining at that engine RPM- look for new post by Sunday 01/24 (fingers crossed)
Wow...very cool engine choice. That thing sounds absolutely amazing! I wanna build a velocity and that might be the way I go now. How much has your build come to so far? Do you have a website with a build log?
Well- I really made a ton of extra work for myself by using the Subaru- in the end, it should be a superior installation to Lycoming, but only time will tell- certainly runs a lot smoother than an IO-540, and burns less fuel, but since it is a one off thing, I will really need to keep an eye on everything for the first hundred hours or so. please see updated video just posted to see it really running smoothly- just installed improved ECU that got it all together.
Sorry for the delay- don't get to the site too often- actually, I am hoping to post another video thiw weekend (01/22) I do not have a builder site- not sure how those guys have time for that- I barely get out to work on the plane!! all in- I probably have about 85k invested- will have about 110 or so by the time it is flying.
Little Subie Engine! Sounds so beefy, love how it sounds once it really warms up! VROOM VROOM! Good luck to you guys and your build!

not flying just yet- new video of improved ECU installation is just posted - you can really tell that it is making a lot of power now.
