I'm happy to say that I cracked a 12 with the Std turbo on my final run at WSID tonight :);) ;)

ET: 12.993 @ 104.40mph (60" 1.777)

After so many 13.1's and 13.0', it was good to finally get there :)

Also ended up winning 3rd in the reaction time competition, so a bloody good night all round :D

hey congrats i saw u running, impressive and i like the stock look!

would you mind listing your mods and what boost you run? i would like to run a 13, (with full street tyres) but need a few things changed so im interested in others to compare..

and btw the black wrx ran a best of 12.6 not 13.0.

apparently there was an accident at a roundabout nearby which stopped people from being able to get into wsid, the lady at the food shop told me, this would explain the lack of people.

Thanks mate :)

My current mods are:

PowerFC

EBC

FMIC

3" turbo back exhaust

Splitfire Ignition Coils

K&N panel filter

HD clutch

I was running 0.8bar (12psi) boost.

Good luck with the 12 ;)

sounds exactly like my car but i also have adjustable cam gear, and sheilded pod(no difference, only good for making annoying noise!)

i will be running with sticky normal tyres 255 wide toyo T1-Rs.

at the moment the car only runs 97-99mph and 14.5(on old tyres with crap 60') so i need to get a retune then i will run it.

anyway, the miss wednesdays all looked like they were 12, or else skanks, apart from the one tall one, im surprised your all interested!!!!!!

What's not to like?

Hmmmm, on second thought, im not sure what i was complaining about, your right!!!!!!

btw, i remember u saying you would be back when the weather is colder (ie now) to run a fastER time, have u been recently, hows the car now? larger turbo fitted? :)

The story is in my signature! The one year anniversary of my M Coupe being taken off the road for modifications is next Thursday 25th August. Same night I got booted from WSID after running a ten second pass.

Oh my god, i cant believe that was a year ago, it seems like a few months!!! that was the first time i went to the drags (to watch)

so whats next, 9s?

Yes definently is 12 second passes now the new 13 seconds

My brothers old car a S15 200 and and it ran a 13.2 which seemed really quick 2 years ago and was pretty much invinsible on the street but nowadays is concidered quite timid

As time goes on times will always tumble and i think in about 2-3 years time 12s will be average and 11s and lower might be considered quick

each to their own i say......ill be pushing the limits of our setup before reaching for the gas tap

Thats a fair call, but age and wear and tear is against you. In a stock car i did a similar thing, 2 years later when im ready to lean on it everything i replaced 2 yrs earlier is worn and needs replacing again :D

Make hay while the sun shines, get a few gas passes in, see what times it runs, then go back to running without the gas. Hell see if you can get near the gas time wihtout it by improving the setup, clutch etc...hate to reach the stalemate with your current setup driving for 6 months for 0.1sec only to kill the thing with the first hit of gas :(

Still think all you boys should just throw these engines fof yours into tubbed LJs with auto boxes :D

basically i put mine on gas as my 1/4 mile times were not upto scratch due to having a small capacity engine not being able to drag the stall up to its needed rpm. i had a 3400 stall and the when te engine was cold and the box was cold it would stall up no problems. when it was warm or hot after a few runs it would stall up resulting in low 12's at 124 mph and 2.2 sixty foots. the 40 shot gives it enough extra hp to get it on stall and give me consistant sixty foot 1.5's which in a 3460 pound rwd car is pretty awesome on street radials.

i would like to see some 10 sec GTR's run these type of sixty foots in RWD mode,

i never wanted to put mine on gas, but it was the only way to drop my sixty foots and get the car consistant. dont know what others think but i teckon tens out of a stock internal and stock head 2.5 ltire engine thats done 189540k's is pretty damn good.

would love to see what she will do with a plenum, throttle body, head work bug cams and some internals for longevity.

Shane,

Good effort and nice _Zoom_ feature. The world is full of weak c**ts who will never (or can never) give credit where it is due. Just go by the opinion of those you know and respect.

thats precisely what i do Mr Blonde, and thanks for the positive comments.

i take it you have a zoom subscription, i have too wait for it to come out at the newsagent. sucks.

well in relation to this topic for me the bench mark for a quick-ish street car was being able to do a 13 and run at over 100mph. now it's definately being able to go a 12 and run at over 105mph. maybe even 110mph. so for me 12s are the new 13s no doubt.

    • @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
