SubieFest – it’s an all out Subaru extravaganza that was on October 10th this year, in Rosamond, California. Each year it gets more and more impressive, and this year it was no disappointment. Eric Hsu, of Beyond the Dyno (now MotoIQ), attended this year and caught a few interesting pictures to show of some pretty [...]
Oh, Japan. When will you cease to put out tons of funny stuff that people overseas just can’t seem to understand. What’s a Kei truck? It’s basically a mini truck, like a Kei car is a mini car, except they’re trucks, you know with a bed and stuff. Often found in 4×4 configuration, they’re useful [...]

It’s all here in this insane thread as “Spudchucker” goes on a mission to supercharge his 2.5 N/A Impreza. Click “Read [...]
SeoulfulRacing has a handful of a Genesis coupe on display, this time a supercharged 3.8L V6 with 430RWHP. Thats more than most entry level sports cars!

No surprises here, a typical log manifold with a rather small TD04-based Mitsubishi turbocharger. Click here to see this thread on GenCoupe Forums. They have also fabbed up their prototype bar and plate aftermarket intercooler upgrade for the 2.0T [...]
I don’t know where this build orginated from (Sources say Autz in Korea, but I can’t find anything about them) but I’m seeing threads for it made on a bunch of websites like GenCoupe and LowMotion - what we have here is another member with the V6 model with an aftermarket turbo bolted on. This particular one has a [...]
Eric Hsu at Beyond The Dyno shares this Specialty-Z built 300ZX Twin Turbo build on his website with a few thoughts of his own. This 300ZX is a monster, with twin GT3071 turbochargers, a wealth of supporting parts, and a good tune. The results are well over 1000HP at the wheels, a true sleeper because [...]
Forced Air Technologies has a few pictures of their compound charged Subaru WRX STi and Subaru Baja XT. Compound charged, as in both turbocharged, and supercharged.
