I own a r34 gtt, awsome car, great power (208kw engine)(just a cat bak exhaust).

Few months earlier i raced a WRX(Stok AS a rock, no exhaust) in same year model (03-05), from rolling point i took him slowly but from take off the rex got at least 5 car lengths and we were slowly catching.

So i figured an STI would smoke me in a drag.

So tonight there was the STi(stok as rok aswell), 4 people in the car, in the skyline my cuz n me. We were teasing each other for a while until we came to a dead straight, nothing around.

so from 60 kmh both cars in 2nd and i was slowly leaving it, the front of his car ws about the bak whels of my car, there were a set of lights were he took of on us and left us about 5 car lenghts and we started pulling closer then he pulled away etc.

We were surprised but then i figured they are both 208kw(stock) and i guess the rear wheel drive would have an advantage from rolling.

but really i thought it would have done much better than a WRX, if there was 1 person in the STI maybe a different story DUNNO.

SO are u guys surprised or its a good result,

cheers,

You'll find that your GT-T doesn't actually produce 208kW out of the factory.......

He was probably held down by the weight.

A GT-T shouldn't catch an STi for a while (we're not talking Impreza WRX!)

I'd imagine in equal circumstances with equal drivers the STi would have done better.

At the drags or track, he would have served it to you.

My mate has a s14 with just a FMIC, BOV and turbo back exhaust and he rips 34 gtts with ease. The same car kept up with a stock WRX (just a bit faster actualy) from a rolling start.

So for your gtt to keep up with an STI, hmm, something doesnt sound right.

Huh?

If his s14 rips GT-Ts....then it should absolutely slaughter WRXs rolling start!

Right?

s14a's are significantly lighter than GTT's, the standard s14a turbo can handle 1bar of boost no probs.

true

it also depends on what mods are on the GTT :) cant expect a stock GTT to keep up with a modded s14/a

my friend's sr20 180 (not an s14 but i think its even lighter?) has roughly the same mods as me and definately does not "rip" my GTT

but stock for stock.. the sti "should" be the go, but throw enough $$ at it and it'll beat anything you want :D

    • Yeah nice idea, you mean to suction it to the gauges? I hadn't thought of that.
    • A few suggestions: Do you have the option of retarding your exhaust cam gear to bring the power band over to the left? VCT would be turned off after you make peak torque, you see the power/torque will decay faster with it left on all the way to the limiter Once VCT is turned off, you'll find the motor will take a bit more timing being ramped in Send its mum, more boost! Of course, depends on your exhaust pressure.

    • I was back on the dyno again yesterday after completely revamping my methanol injection system. I was making 440kw at 19psi. Great, this is more then I was making last summer with my old meth system at that pressure, and I figured it would be smooth sailing up to 30+psi. We continued increasing from there and by 25psi, I had only hit 455kw. Dyno sadly lost utility power at this point and I left. We seemed to be on course to hit the same power wall as last summer (477kw@27psi). This is a built RB25 S1 stroked to a 2.8. Built and ported head with Kelford 272/262 cams. Precision 6466 Turbo. Tuner last year believed the power wall is a mix of RPM limitations (Hydro lifters/Limit set at 7600RPM) and fueling. With my new meth system, we're seeing zero knock now but it still won't go up.  What else can I do at this point? Here's my train of thought.  - It's clear from the dyno graph that I would easily make power to 8500+RPM but I'm limited to 7600RPM. I could risk increasing my limiter, but hydro lifters have me worried. What are my options here besides going NEO head or solid lifter conversion? I'm rocking a 1.05AR turbine on my 6466. Would dropping down to a .84 help shift that power down in anyway? - We're only seeing roughly a 30kw difference at the top end with VCT on or off. Is this normal? I want to confirm VCT is working properly. - Should I look into other cam options?  - Should I just keep increasing boost and see if she wakes up later on? I would expect to hit 600rwkw around 35psi with my 6466.
