Dyno Results (for real this time)
-
WRX's need quickershifts FOR SURE the valve body would help TONS. Please keep me posted on details.
-
I'll be there, no guarantees on how well I'll do, but I should at least not embarrass myself. LOL
-
See ya there.

good job chuck, nice to hear you got it all together. Now we hope it stays together for you. The 5 speed trannies hold about 300 ft lbs of torque. it will be interesting to see what the Auto does. my trani has been holding up so far. But the clutch is dun. Just got my Exedy so we will see how that does next weekend. I'm gonna try some flat shifting this time see if I can pick up a couple tenths. prolly need it to hang with you..... See you out on the first..... congrats

lets race chuck.

Sure, I'm all for racing now that I'm tuned
, I just want to make sure the first race I do is at the track, don't know why, just call me superstitious or something. From what I can gather at nasioc, the auto should hold together until 400 torque or so, Phil @ elementtuning claims they have a 500 WHP auto running around somewhere, and I'd assume the torque #'s would be at least in the mid to upper 400's. So I'm taking that as good news.Now that I have a good idea on how to go about tuning my car, does anyone have a favorite inexpensive wideband that they like to use for tuning? I would really like to pick one up for this weekend so i can tune for some race fuel and 24 psi, just to see how much faster I can get. I know someone had said that Volkswagon has a wideband sensor that is pretty inexpensive, now I just need someone who has a reader to let me borrow it for a couple of runs. hint hint /cough dave /cough
Having said that, what AFR are you running on your race gas maps Shane? I was thinking like 11.8:1 would be pretty safe and maybe even 12:1 on C16, maybe just a hair richer if I crank the boost to 24. I guess the only way to really know is to start tuning and look for knock, right?
Chuck
PS. Now I just need to decide who I want to line up against first, someone who will utterly destroy me, so when I do lose it is expected, or someone who is about my equal so that I have the added pressure to perform...I'm thinking of losing my first race, less pressure and more chance for me to monitor to see if I have knock anywhere.

alright sounds good, wont be there on the 1st, ill prolly race on the 17th.

He'll annihilate your STI.

This is true, he definately had me out of the hole (its been discussed here before), but I believe I was starting to pull on you up until we both let off. I'm not making any excuses, he had me beat, a big thumbs up to him for that. Since that time I've stepped up a bit too: FMIC, CAI, not to mention tuning. At that time my car wouldn't let me launch. Period. If I got on the gas while holding the brakes, my car would die/sputter horribly. That has changed, and I'm sure things have changed for him as well. I'm sure he's gotten better at shifting, he knows where his car launches at now, he is probably better at keeping it in the powerband. Plus he may have gotten parts as well. This should be a good race IMHO. Of course I hope I smoke him , but if I don't thats cool too. Just be forewarned, on weekends I run race gas, and w/ race gas comes the urge to run 23 psi :eek:Basically what I'm saying is he is the man, IMO, until I beat him. Gee, now if only everyone could show that level of respect to each other on this board...........
-
Much appreciated, and no parts for me, just my trusty IC spray and 92 octane gas heh heh.
-
Assuming it was a stock STI. If any mods done to the STI, the STI will definately win. No replacement for displacement....extra .5L...pooo on you.
-
i said i was bone stock. w00t.
-
Stage 4+ WRX > Stock STI
Stage 2 STI > Most EJ20 WRX's period.
Where the STI takes in is that nice drivetrain, however with tjamz hope to do a TC it will be interesting to see.
-
Not "hoping" to get a TC, its ordered. As is the valvebody from levelten. Now to just find a 2.2 from a turbo legacy.......
-
thats a shit load of shit just to be as fast as my car or a lil faster. u gonna race on the 20th chuck cause thats when i am.
-
Lots of money put in that wrx tjamz. Well if you got a passion, you got a passion. I'm just losing it
You guys should definately race. I beat a stock sti a couple times way back in grand forks when all I had was an MBC and TBE. But then again, he had no idea how to drive so not much to brag on that one.
-
Umm...If I go 2.2 litre it ain't gonna be to be faster than you. No offense. The reason I want a 2.2 is to stroke it to 2.7 and drop a T66 in it, then mate it w/ an Easy Street auto trans. Theoretically that motor should make well over 700 HP @ the wheels w/ spray. IF I go that route, it's gonna be to get to Dave/Ethan speeds. NOTE: I am not saying for sure that this is the route I'll go, its just a possibility.
Its not really a shit load of money in either: $950 for the Turbo, 1200 for the FMIC, 950 for the UTEC, 200 up-pipe, 275 downpipe, 300 Blitz SBC-ID, 350 for the exhaust, 400 for the Torque Convertor, 450 for the valve body, $250 for the CAI, 100 for the Fuel Pump, 175 for the BOV. Thats just $5600 in my current setup plus the cost of the car 23,750 = $29350. Not bad considering a comparably equipped STi would have cost me 33,460 to get the same creature comforts (security, armrest extension, block heater, etc..). All you have me beat on is suspension really. Add 250 for hotchkis swaybars, 1600 for coilovers, 2500 for a big brake system and I'm still under the cost of an STi.
Now don't get me wrong, I love the STi as much as the next guy, I just think I can do better for less $$
