All that aside, that is freakin' cool. Now you just need to find a way to get a driveshaft coming off the exducer... you could have the world's most powerful Dremel!

That engine design is "ghetto" personified. PLEASE don't take your neigbors with you when you blow up your house! 
Did you see the "Junkyard Wars" episode with the rocket cars? Somehow they didn't use a fuel pump... but they did use a GIANT turbo from a diesel engine.

Basically we built it for the heck of it. It gets kind of boring in Indiana. We built the engine before the junkyard wars episode came out.
On a side note the engine produces roughly 300 lbs of thrust or 250 hp. My name is subaru sucks because they do not stand behind their product, they are very quick to blame everything on abuse or driver error. I only made one claim not multiple like the monkey douche bag said. If he only knew what he was talking about. I love people that think they know everything.
When it warms up we are building either a cart or a mini chopper for the engine. Not to sure which, I don't think I have the ***** to ride a home built jet powered chopper a well over one 100 mph.

I'll only ask you not to call me a douchebag once. I'm not the one who attempted to defraud Subaru of thousands of dollars in bull**** warranty repairs.

My local dealership denied my warranty when my engine blew. (running lean is not a good thing) That is beside the point, every time I took it in I took the MBC off so no one ever saw it on there. they got my car pulled the dipstick, saw there was no oil on it, placed it on the lift and saw there were no external leaks and said it was not an issue for warranty repair. I fought with them for a week about this. The svc. manager told me that I had four days to come and get my car or they were charging me storage. I was PISSED. I went down to get my car and the manager would not even talk to me. I spoke with the guy below him ( smug little bastard) he told me that subaru wants five grand for a new engine with a one year part and labor warranty and that they are not allowed to work on it. I went off on him I grabbed him up by his throat it took three service guys to pull me off him. They called the cops. when they got there I had to explain my case to him, he said that he did'nt blame me but, he had to make me leave. So i left eight days later a recieved a summons for a protective order. I went to court the judge told me I am not allowed on any of that dealerships lots ever again. I had to pay 150 bucks and that was that. Then I called customer dealer services and got no where real quick they told me that I would need a lawyer to get anything done, well I could not find a lawyer to take the case without getting certain paperwork from the dealership the dealership told me that I need a lawyer to get the paperwork.
Now I am stuck with a junkyard motor from a wagon, not a big deal this one runs better than the last. It is BS that subaru does not stand behind their products. Other than that I still love my car.

Yes I'm to stupid to read and understand my warranty that is why I have a breech of contract suit in progress. And that makes you a now it all douche bag. LET'S NOT GET INTO A BATTLE OF WITS HERE, YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY UNARMED.
