G'day G'day people...This is the first message I've posted on the forum in AGES...anyways here's what I wanna ask...who's faster on a straight drag: WRX vs R34 GTT? My R34 is pretty much stock with a intercooler...i've drag a mate's wrx (current model) which is stock as well and showed him who's daddy. But last night, my galfriend's friend (some stupid kid) drives a wrx too (previous model; looks pretty much stock except of a loud exhaust) wants to drag me and was bragging to my friend that he would whoop my arse...which i heard and laugh cause i dont think a stock rex can. Opinions please...thats if you understood what i just wrote...haha =)

Show him who's daddy I say... um the WRX should be able to out maneuvre you, but in a straight line I think you'd have the upper had with a more torquey engine with a better lower end acceleration.

Dus he have subwoofa!s?

You are talking about on a drag strip right?

:rofl:

WRX ~ Only seriously modded sti's have been quicker than mine.

An 02 sti ran a 13.6 at heathcote, my best was 13.8, if I had the same mods as him it would be a lot closer...

just stir him up and tell him to launch at 7000rpm, then u will win easily as he will be sitting there after his 7000rpm launch with a broken gearbox.

I've raced plenty of rexes with fmic, safc and exhaust and owned them after switching into second gear.

When my car was stock I use to have runs with a lot of WRXs. Win some, lose some....... it all depends on whos got more cash hehehe (usually them hahaha). But from experience, from stop start they usually have the upper hand but u just have to play catch up. Usually on rolling start, the tide would turn and he/she would have to play follow the leader. Also I love the smell of their clutch when they have a few hard launches.

i've seen this bleed valve thing come up a few times, what exactly do they do? sounds like a pretty cheap mod...

cheers.

a bleed valve is essentially a wastegate. it bleeds off pressure before the wastegate and in doing so tricking the wastegate to remain shut and produce more boost.

on the topic of wrx vs gtt....i currently own a gtt and my previous car was a wrx...i love them both, and they are about as quick as one another at the moment....

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.

      Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary?

      I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.
