Car felt good, Feels like can get more out of it. We squeeze 21 psi out of the stock turbo. Holds it to about 5500 then drops off to 16-17 psi right before i shift.

A little video compilation of it on the dyno and the run.

I spoke to 2 WRX owners there and showed them the slip and look at my car to verify it.

To say the least im happy with the time but there is still more to come.

Special thanks goes out to Junior@Turbotrix and Sean@Millenium Autosport for all there help.

 

Driving that car must be like riding a fat chick, fun till your friends see you.
Congats on your pass though

 

 

Nice accomplishment, but why do they pull such pathetic mph? I would think a turbo car would have more in it than that? I assume the ET comes from the AWD launch?
Again, not bashin just curious.

 

The car put all its power down tot the ground. That is why the mph is low. But it is high for a AWD WRX.

 

Nice! I have a local friend who's gone 12.7@106 in a WRX wagon but he's also running a bigger turbo and FMIC.

 

The "low" mph is because of the amount of power the subbie is putting to the ground. Thats about all a 249rwhp will mph at w/ that weight. Imagine an Fbody w/ 249rwhp...Subbies are light but not that light. The e/t is from the great traction he is getting with the AWD and aggressive launch. Its all about putting the power to the ground fellows. 1.74 60's arent too shabby.

 

Good job Barry, so whens the bigger turbo going in??? Hey you never know when your gonna have to get some diapers real quick.

 

Not big turbo yet, I want to put this record out of reach. Still have more things to do to it. Just kinda a funny how a pushrod guy wrecked a boxer record

 

those cars are very surprising and handle damn well...oh yea, and pull 1.7s at the track on cheap nitto 450s!

 

sweet dude, that car looks just like mine except i have stock rims and limo tint

the mph is low guys for the same reason a WRX gets raped against 2 wheel drive cars with similar power doing punches on the highway..AWD is a big drag..60 foots are killer but they slow down starting about the 330 mark or so, at least that's how mine feels.

nice time with the mods for sure man, nice job.

 

congrats great times!!

What is the fastest you guys have seen out of a STI with boltons?

 

chris i don't visit the scooby boards alot but a couple months ago i saw a bunch of people posting mid 12's with basic bolt on stuff with STI's.

i think i saw one guy with a 12.60 with basically just exhaust and a boost controller.

 

That is pretty impressive for a car you can drive winter time Too bad they look so bad with that damn spoiler...

 

i agree the spoiler is way gay. i like what they did with the front end and hood scoop and what not for 04 vs my 03 but that spoiler..ugh

car still looks alot better than an EVO..man those are fugly.

 

Great times I also like the '04 models better, but still hate the wing.......does Subaru offer a wing delete option??
I still say I'd like to see someone keep the STi drivetrain; but swap in a TA Performance Aluminum Buick 3.8 turbo motor .
That would be sick!

 

Mine didnt come with the wing. I added it on. I have the factory wing with wing risers.

 

I kinda like it

 

Don't those cars have a 3.90 gear set?

 

Yah but they have a big 2/3 gear drop off, and is 4th 1:1 or less?
