Chuck, your missing the major point here of what i said pages ago especially regarding the FP Red, that turbo is a 60-1 based turbo they do not spoool that quickly, the Garrett GT30 BB series turbo's A. Spool faster, and B. Make more power than a 60-1 will unless you are running low boost levels say 15 psi or less.

Yeah a v8 spools faster, but it wont rev out as much either, when it comes down to it, a turbo 4 cylinder and a turbo v8 have about the same 3-4k power range.

torque is pretty sweet thing to have also

Nate..on the race gas thing, I said that the first time I ran, but at the time I was only running a boost controller and exhaust and thought I wasn't gaining anything from the race gas (which I probably wasn't, car wasn't knocking, I was only running 16psi on stock turbo, etc...) Once I stepped up to a larger turbo (though still small by your guys standards) and got on the dyno I realized that the diff between 111 and 92 in regards to safe power was about...oh....45 whp. I became a believer after that.

Nick T.: Yes, the Red is BASED on the 60-1, but the current version of the Red designed & flanged for the WRX/STi spools ages before a traditional 60-1 would. They are currently ball bearing and full boost is achieved by ~4300 RPM on a 2.0 Liter and ~3900 RPM on a 2.5 Liter.

Schell: I agree, torque is nice....thats why I have a suby...heh

Yes it is, which is why I had 426 lb-ft of it in my talon, well more than that but when I tried to dyno on a good tune, my clutch was shot.

On the topic............ Best I could run on pump gas on saturday was a 12.0 @ 114 w/ a 1.66 60ft. Then on sunday on the leaded 111 gas and more boost, best I could run was a 11.59 @ 121 w/ a 1.70 60 ft. Note that there had been NO tuning done before the drags at all. So I had to do some on the track. But with the hot ass weather I was always getting knock in 4th gear, sometimes even 3rd gear.

Joe's GT3076 see's full boost right around if not before 4000rpm.

From looking @ the FP's for the WRX they appear to be dry housings which would mean they are standard conventionl bearing not BB

[PSiedTSi]

you should always go one step bigger than what you want lol...after having the 50trim im thinkin maybe nothin smaller on the 240 when the time comes...im lookin at a GT3071R people have been making close if not 400whp on pump gas @ about 19psi or so

Your car looked and sounded really good with more boost.

Way too hot to be in a leather suit.

I thought the leather whip & mask were a nice touch though!!

I thought Sheldon Root's 8 Second pass in the Street Legal Vega was impressive, hard to believe he still cruises on the streets with it,what a freaky accident to shut him down early.

The guys nuts running those times on the street legal tires he has......(Correction, I errored, he is Canadian...... :eek: )

Yeah, that is a very cool car.... but whats with the tiny 106mm turbo? :eek:
