I got Turboxs stage 2+ Turboxs upipe and I was just wondering if anyone with the same or equivalent stages run at Bandimere? And what type of 1/4 mile times did you get. I'm just curious since I didnt get the chance to go to Bandimere last month to run. Let me know, thanks!

Vishnu 321 SS uppipe w/ Thermotec header wrap
HKS Downpipe w/ Thermotec Header wrap
Stock catback
Vishnu IC Hoses
UTEC

14.28@94.75 in mid 80deg temps. I think a time a little closer to 14.00 in cool weather is possible for my setup.

Wow, you got that time with the stock cat back. Thats awesome! I thought the stock cat back was pretty restrictive. I hope I can pull those times with my setup. Its all Turboxs except the axel back(scorpion/prodrive axel back). Good times justDSM!

Anyone else?

I ran a 14.125 @ 97.2 with a 1.890 60' last year with a completely stock exhaust system, -- all stock headers, with pre-cat, stock turbo, all stock turbo-back.

EBC with torquechip II at 17 psi, high octane fuel and I've taken some weight out.

:lol: SOME weight? AFAIK, Larry has the lightest WRX in the state (and probably quite a few other states). ;)

I ran a 13.504 with stock exhaust including downpipe. Caution, I now have a small crack near my wastegate flap on the turbo housing due to thermal loading. But I did that. It was a vishnu stage 2 minus exhaust, very similar to a TXS4 minus exhaust.

Thanks for the kind comments on my times. Looks like Hotrod has me WHOOPED! :) Good job Larry!

I was full weight (3100lbs) w/ good ole piss water 91 Octane. I'm positive w/ some race fuel and cooler temps I could have done a 13.9X. I was seriously restricted in the ammount of advance I could run.

JustDSM:

Your doing very well, with some high octane and the ability to tune with the Utec you will be able to knock quite a bit off that as you get it tweaked.

Your actual race weight was probably pretty close to 3300 lbs with you and the fuel so I have a significant advantage on the weight side. I scaled at 3085 with driver and the fuel when I ran that.

Okay I confess, several hundred pounds out. :devil:

Jeez Larry! What have you taken out?! :) Your figure is probably within a few pounds of being spot on. I'm about 180lbs and I had close to 1/2 tank of fuel.

He took out his engine. Boy can that guy run! :lol:

I've just taken out bolt on stuff to this point with the exception of scraping the sound deadner everything can go back to stock if I wanted to.

I still have a stock weight battery, the stock front seats, stock weight flywheel, and pulleys etc.

If I wanted to throw some money at it I could easily whack off another 100+ lbs.

Last time I weighed it , I scaled at 2980 with me in the car and half a tank of fuel.

I expect in time to get down to the mid 2800's

I've just applied the racers axiom "The best way to lose 100 lbs off a car is to find 1600 ways to remove one ounce"

Larry

Good stuff Larry. I don't know your goals/plans, but it sounds like your on to something :) Back in my DSM days and even before that I was doing the same thing. Nothing but a dash, steering wheel and drivers seat remained in my old '93 Ford Probe GT. (no laughing!)

If the WRX was paid off and I had a nice comfortable car to drive on trips, I'd be pulling weight from mine as well. The car is already just too bloody expensive for me to rip into it.

On a side note, who (is it you Larry?) has the fastest stock turbo'd WRX in RMIC (thats run around 5800ft elevation)?

I think that title would go to moorewrx he ran a 13.6 something IIRC on the stock turbo, with all the exhaust upgrades (up pipe, down pipe, unichip CAI etc)

I expect to run the same kind of times some time this year but have not to date.

The changes I made over the winter bit me, I had a loose Y pipe at the Import Sport Compact Challange (it blew off the next day) and I couldn't hold my normal 17+ psi boost. I was only running mid 14's.
