Depends.

Around a wet racetrack on a track day I did a few years ago, the WRX's killed everything else - including 2 modded GTR's (both Rexes were MY02 models, one stock).

Current Rex is pretty quick, and probably quicker around a track than an R32, but in a straight line I think the GTR might still beat it. Just coz the REx is ugly don't make it slow.

stock for stock, straight line, Subaru WRX vs R32 GTR

GTR /

Evidenced here back in 1990 in Australia when the roadtest cars were running low 13's....show me a WRX that has managed that.

Way to many variables at a 'wet' track day to be viable comparo :huh:

I heard if you add a 7" muffler back, HKS SSQV, and a giant wing, that WRXs lay down like, 2x the power of any GTR .... :huh:

Is that it? Too much trouble. What I heard was for every stick you have on the rexy, you'll get an extra 5awkw.

School holiday still on?

Why?

What was the poster actually asking? Straight line? around a circuit? I still think that normal drivers on a normal track (wet or not - the cars were sharing the same conditions)gives a far better representation of overall performance than 1/4 times (unless you are one of these people who can't handle corners and only care about straight line acceleration).

In the dry, the GTR and modded WRX were neck and neck in times, with the stock WRX (and first ever track day for that particular WRX driver) about a second off the pace. Given the GTR had over 450hp at the wheels, I think I can safely say that the stock WRX would have come close to a stock GTR's times, if not beaten them (it was hosing modded R33 GTSt's - wet and dry).

Current model WRX and a stock GTR - no contest. The WRX would kill the GTR around a racetrack - specially if the race consisted of more than 5 laps. But then what would you expect from a 20 year old Datsun?

GTR's are great cars, but c'mon guys - let's be realistic here.

Itd be good if the list actually had a WRX in it seeing as it was the question.. bet still fun to read.

Yeah true.

Exactly!

No point comparing the 2.

If you want to compare a R32 GTR with a WRX, it got to be the first generation models = GC8A (11/1992-9/1993) / GC8B (10/1993-8/1994) / GC8C (9/1994)

Compare the new WRX with the new R35 GTR.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.

      AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.

      As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.

      spot the stagea

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
