2001 Outback Dyno Readings

[AS]

After being disappointed by the wife's 03 dyno readings (see previous
posting), I decided to ask my friend to allow me to take the readings in
his 01.

The results:
Max HP 148 @ 5700 rpm
Max torque 136 ft-lb @ 3100 rpm

Yep...NOWHERE close to the 250-300BHP people have been bragging about
The dyno speaks the truth, most Sooby owners are telling stories.

Sounds pretty close. Which engine is it ? A WRX has 227 crank hp but will
dyno 165-175 at the wheels.

Were they bragging about MY01's or MY05's?

My '01 Outback was advertised as 165HP, so I don't see the dyno test all
that disappointing.

At the crank... so 130ish at the wheels is normal.
