I can't believe there aren't more GC guys with turbos or more to my liking swaps pulling some numbers.

give us time geronimo, give us time. :D

there are some out there but don't really like to show it :)
some were here but now gone (write off) :(

GC cars??, I'm lost

I just posted one:

Though I don't do 1/4 mile because I don't want to brake the tranny. Besides that Subaru's aren't ment to go fast in a straight line they are meant for rallying ro track use. Well that is my personal opinion.

RS-T (http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=302328)

yea, I just want to see what I am in for... I just got my 2000 L and am going crazy to get my swap done. If all goes well i'll have a USDM swap done by summers end and a complete V5 body upgrade. I would like to do brakes and seats this year, but I don't think i'll have the cash.

I would think a US motor in an L would run very low 14'2-high 13's stock. I will be running an up pipe down pipe, cat back, unichip or the like and an EBC.... so I think for this year i'll be happy.

I just know that a lot of swap are out their happening... and wanted to see what people were getting out of them.

I love my SLOOOOOOOW subie. :D Wheels, tires, and ground controls soon. :devil:

Once the install is complete I'm headed down to the DYNO and I'll post some GC8 numbers the STI RA should be awesome....:devil:

My car was never designed to hit the dirt. Only drag/track/show plus (up here at least) the drag strips arn't even open so can't really get some new 1/4 times now can we. I'll be at them as soon as they open. I've also gonna dyno my car in a month. So just wait :D grnlantern and I should be there on the say day so we'll see what the old turbo Rs's can do ;)

The last time I ever ran was like 14.2 or something. Should be a lot lower now.

13.5 on 7psi but now car is in hospital getting haltech e6k installed and other goodies when she comes out hopfully low 13's high 12's still on stock tranny tubo has been on for 25,000 miles trick is DONT SLAM GEARS

Me too me too... My 1995 is getting a heart transplant soon...

Imprezd~

We don't want to embarase (sp.) the WRX guys with how fast we are with how little boost we have. At 9psi, I'm way faster than a stock WRX. :D

Easy, Mr... I have both... and 9psi you may be faster than a stock WRX but watch it....

:D

Imprezd~

9psi? I'm faster then a stock WRX at 4.5psi. :)

I still have to run my car out on the Road Dyno and see what it looks like. I have previous numbers from NA stock ECU and Haltech E6K runs, so I'll have to do a nice comparison.

Don't know about 1/4 times... no tracks open around here until March - April at least. Hell, it's snowing as I type this. :)

You = high compression 2.5

me = low compression EJ22T

But yes, at 4.5psi my car would be slower than a WRX :)

What it's stock...

:lol:

Stock Sti parts and a few things..

stock with a UTEC huh. ;)
Besides, I'll only run a little over 100mph in the 1/4 mile

So cocky, for no reason.

From the "Official shootout Results" thread:

here are the 2.5 guys . .. . .

25- Dan S 15.454 89.11
26- Cory R 15.484 88.83
27- Matt S 15.609 88.98
28- Thomas B 15.616 87.13
29- Brian E 15.672 85.43
30- Jeffery S 16.346 85.13

Pretty close finish between the # 1 and # 2 2.5 RS!!!

You guys should worry more about breaking into the low 15's before you start getting cocky.

"Man, I spent $4K in mods and I can barely beat a stock WRX. It was on 7psi, but my $hit will blow at any boost over that. Now that I think about it, it'll probably blow anyway."

:lol: :lol:

:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

You missed the obvious humor in our posts... It's ok though, i'm getting used to it.

Eric

PS: Even after I spend $4k i've spent less that you originally paid for your car.

Hahaha, what a troll.

I could make an RS do low 12's for $4k... don't know for how long, but it'd do it!

Fact is, RS vs. WRX is opposite ends of the spectrum. You're talking midrange vs. high end power. High end will obviously help you more on a strip where that is what you use from about the 60' line on.

*shrug*

Funny, I'm still N/A and I've spent less $1500 in the power dept (cams, chip, intake, headers, high-flow, pulley, ...) and I'm neck and neck with a stock WRX through tripple digits, I beat most but every once and a while I get nudged out. Not sure where uber-troll got those numbers, but those are obiously basic N/A bolt-ons... dork :rolleyes:

haha this thread is funny.

anyway in the spring time when I get the new clutch installed I should be able to dyno my car, couldn't do it with the stock clutch as it slips from the huge amounts of torque. I prob wont take it to drag strip.

MadMax

I was dead even with a WRX and I was running 0 psi (N/A) and no tuning! I diddnt get a chance with my friend again after tuning.
Dan:D

Hey, TypeC,

I did 14.6s N/A on the track. Turbo I'd say low 13s @ 6psi. I don't know where that shootout took place or how much boost those guys ran, or whetever. Go over to "www.ludespeed.com" and click on "results". Don't be surprised at the numbers those guys ran :eek: :D I think you're just full of it.

~Anthony.

Again, those times that typec posted are fine for basic bolt-ons. Since I haven't actually quartered my car I can only speculate what it will actually run but knowing that 8/10 times I'm at least 1/2 a fender length ahead of a WRX through 100 mph (after that it gets ugly) I should be in the 14.7 ballpark (not rice math, deduction). I dynoed 147 hp and 160 ft-lbs, hp wasn't all that impressive but the torque curve is big and meaty. A WRX stock typically dynos 160-170 ft-lbs and you all know the weight difference :D

Jeez nobody else helped this guy, I don't think. :)

"GC" is the body style code for the old cars, the pre-2002 models, in the North American market anyway. (In the overseas market the new Impreza, with the "bug eyes" was introduced for model year 2001.)

The new Imprezas are "GD" body codes. The sedan is GDA and the wagon GDB, I think. Could be wrong on that one, though.

With the old cars, in North America the Impreza was a GC6, whereas overseas it was GC8. But now I'm confusing myself. :D

-S2-

BOY - what are your exact mods? did you do anything in the weight department? im very interested in how you approached your power because keeping up with wrx's without headwork/rebuild is where i want to be as well. pm me or post here. any info would be sweet.

Good for you 14's are definately respectible. :cool:

But sorry to say 6psi with a bolt-on setup isn't low 13's. I've seen too many dyno's (in person) and track times. But I wish everyone well on their setups, I'm just saying there is no reason to get cocky. Hell, 12's are only reasonbly quick. When we trap 115+ then we'll be cocky. :D

imprezey, I'm running cobb street cams, UD pulley, weapon-R intake, custom headers/high-flow cat/cat-back, I was running the
Pro-ECM now I'm running a GReddy E-Manage in anticipation of my turbo install. There are also some tweaks like custom low resistance wires and huge plug gap, tweaked the TPS, TB coolant bypass, SP ground mod, etc. The car dynoed 145.3hp and 159.2 ft-lbs at FIS in McKinney Tx. You asked about weight reduction, hp/weight and (more importantly) torque/weight between my RS and a WRX is very nice :D.

BOY

Where are you stationed? You in Tejas?

mike...

BOY - thanks a lot for the info. hopefully i can put it to use. good luck on your car.:)

Mike, I'm at Sheppard AFB in lovely Wichita Falls :rolleyes: .

I raced my car for the very first time last friday night, 4/11 at Portland International Raceway. My third pass of the night was my fastest. I had half a tank of gas and everything was normal on the car (ie, recommended tire pressure, spare in the trunk, etc). My only mod to the entire car is an Injen CAI. Here are my times...

R/T--------.506 (.006 from a perfect light, blah!)
60'--------2.015
330'------6.128
1/8-------9.569 at 70.91 mph
1000'----12.618
1/4--------15.186 at 87.61 mph

I released the clutch at about 3800 and made the pass in 4th gear. It was a high humidty night and about 50-55 degrees. Anyway, i think 15.0** is possible with a higher rpm launch(if you want to risk it) and possible better shift points. I was shifting before the redline, usually around 6k. The top end just isn't in these cars, it is all about taking everyone off the line and watchin them try to play catch up at the end of the track! Its quite funny actually.

I am getting closer now... I am starting to source a WRX motor and trans now..... just have to find a good source.

A while back I ran a 13.4@101mph. RS-T Ludespeed stage II with a ACT clutch and 104 octane fuel, 6psi. However I did not like way my shifter was shaking so hard. I doubt Ill ever do that to my trans again, I think it was on the very edge of breaking and the very thought of it breaking runs through my mind everyday.

J

New times with just my Injen intake. This time I removed my spare tire, jack, and the front plates that block the hood scoop and vents. Other then that, the car is stock. Also had 3/4 tank of gas.

R/T--------.610
60'--------1.979
330'------6.039
1/8-------9.465 at 71.37 mph
1000'----12.459
1/4--------15.005 at 88.51 mph

@ Portland International Raceway

Foolio, what kind of hp do you think you are putting out?

Dan:)

My project has begun. I have paid the deposit for my USDM drivetrain. Now I just get to twiddle my thumbs while I wait for it to arrive.

-Jon

I will be sending the money for mine soon, then I have to wait for my Mustang to sell so I have the rest of the money for the swap.

13's for a turbo RS should be nice and easy. However it takes alot of work to get a turbo RS OUT of the 13's. Mainly a built motor really... well if you want it to last. ;)
Im real interested to see what I run at the MWIC shootout this spring.

yah that jump from 13.1 to 12.9 is a beotch

well, I'm thinkin I'm pullin high 13's right now. runnin 5 psi with 8.5cr pistons on a 2000 rs. These numbers should change a lot soon though. Just got the new clutch and flywheel in, which helped a lot, only thing is that I'm runnin ultra rich right now with my fmu (to the point where my friend and I were having a sound off yesterday for our exhaust notes and after everything I looked in the back of the car and there was wet marks on the ground where the fuel sprayed out the back of my exhaust. If I'm runnin about an a/f of 13 right now, how much of a hp difference do you think it would make if I reduced the fuel to an a/c of 11?

sorry about the multi-post, my computer spazzed.

First things first... holy quadruple post batman.

brokemypiston, you've got a/f ratios backwards. 14:1 is stoich ("perfect mix"), the lower the number the less air (or more fuel) you're running. If you're running 13:1 you're way too lean for a turbo car, 11:1 is where you should be. If you're squirting fuel you're probably running in the 9:1 range (or lower).

whoops, just realised the mix up. well, if I was runnin 9:1 a/f now, if I switched and fixed it to 11:1, how much of a performance gain would that lead to?
