STi didn't make it out of the hole very well. But props to the truck.

just about any modded new age Diesel will give just about any import a run for the money. Deisel's make mad torque and will kill ya off the line. That and gearing make for some good launches

12.35 with "just a chip" I find that hard to believe

I've seen some of those chipped diesels, and man are they fast!!!! :eek:

12.35 with "just a chip" I find that hard to believe

It could happen.

they'll gain over 150HP and over 200ft/lbs of torque with a good hand held programmer or custom tune. It wont be a superchips setup, but something along the lines of a predator, LS1EDIT, or HP Tuners software.

But then again, why brag about your setup to anyone? I'd rather keep the hidden tank of propane a secret if I had that on a deisel truck. ;)

Its not shocking at all. Welcome to the world of diesel.

This is true. Diesel's have really good power and can be quite fast if the gearing's right.

Also, a full 5" turboback straight-thru exhaust on a Powerstroke makes the sound of a helicopter turbine winding up. I'm talking 140 dB, shrieking, ear-piercing, thumping noise. Ask me, I know 'cause my neighbor has one and uses it on a daily basis.

a dura max with just a chip does not run 12.3. That truck had numerous bolt on's

damn lol

regardless the launch, that was pretty much a stock STi based on time and trap speed... and as such, didn't stand a chance.

def

I wonder how much power that truck is putting down. Last time I saw a truck that fast it was running just over 650 Hp.

Sounds like you need to do some research on the subject.

Sorry more than just a "chip" in that truck. I've ridden in a chipped 250 Frod Powerstroke truck with a 4" exhaust and intake mod. In 4 wheel high, he pulled a 1.9 60ft with an 11.7 @ 85 1000ft. In 2 wheel we left two fat patches to the 330, I guess 800ft/lbs will do that.

Now thats pretty damn impressive for lugging around close to 8000lbs but its sure a far shot from a 12.3 1/4.

Yeah I own a F250 powerstroke and there is no way you are running 12.3 in a truck with "just a chip". I would guess there was some propane somewhere on that truck. :)

maybe propane and a nitrous kit from bullydog but who knows these days it doesn't take a hole hell of alot to pull large torque and hp #'s outa diesels anymore ...just my .02

I own a Duramax Chevy Quadcab and, yes, there is no way that a chip alone will do that. I plan on adding the Edge Performance Module and Banks 4" turboback exhaust. It will easily make 800 to 900lbs of torque to the ground with maybe 350whp. It might do 13's with just those couple mods but, not bad for a tow pig!!!

last time I was at the dragstrip in Byron, Il there was a chevrolet diesel truck that was running mid 11's. It was pretty cool, and the best part was that it towed a car to the track.

Buddy of mine has a supercharged diesel truck - it makes mad torque around 500 ft/lbs but due to really low gearing, he uses his to haul horses, his whp is around 250. He is always playing with it, trying to get a little more out of it, but his gearing sucks for anything remotly like racing.

Don't most trucks with large engines have really low gearing?

Lightening excepted.

is that your best excuses :banana:

Who said the truck had just a chip? They do not run that time with just a chip.

Go to the duramaxracing.com website and read about the truck. If its the same truck at that website running low 12s @111mph , it has a ton of serious mods.

So I love how these stories get started.

Turbo + Diesel = BALLS!!!

is that your best excuses :banana:
What's wrong, were you expecting a myriad of excuses as to why this certain car is not the fastest in the world? Cars get beat, especially when their opponent was running low 12's. Go troll somewhere else.

Yes, diesels are nuts. The only limit to the amount nitrous/propane you can run is how strong your head bolts are (no lean burn). A lot of guys just disconnect their wastegates also and run all the boost that the turbo will run. I talked to a crazy old guy that was into that stuff, he also left two piles of rubber on the ground when he left.

just to state the mods, intake and exhaust(exhaust was not really needed) and two boxes,( some do the same with a single box) did have a little bottle for that run, without the bottle add a half of second(12.8)

another nice thing if the track is a fair ways away you can always haul the fithwheel their, weight for this truck is around the 7700lbs, what is the weight of the wrx

Great run. But you shouldn't say "just a chip" if it's not the case. Nice troll...I mean, try, though. :)

watch spike on saturday/sunday mornings, they have a show called "trucks". Every once in a while they do a diesel show.

Diesel engines love boost. They cant make turbochargers efficent enough to give them enough boost. Plus, I believe most modern day diesel trucks use direct injection, which is a MAJOR advantage when making use of boost.

Dont underestimate the diesel. Especially if it's blowing black smoke out the tailpipe.

chip or chips, seam to be a bit touchy, to be name calling, :lol:

Not this time ;)

i wil say these cars wrx really do perform well for thei sise, lot of technolgy in them as well :devil: cannot be taken lightly

yeah its cool to have a 12 second truck, but that guy must get like 2 mpg- on the highway

yeah its cool to have a 12 second truck, but that guy must get like 2 mpg- on the highway

actually just the opposite, most guys are exsperiencing around the 20mpg with the mods, a bit better than stock :D

Is this or is this not the same red truck 2002 2500 HD 4X4 Crew Cab
that is running an upgrade Turbo, bolt ons, engine management, NOS, etc?

Thats like saying a stage 4 WRX + nos is just a wrx with a chip.

yes. you are correct sir. From the website:

Computer tuning, better flowing intake/air box and 4" exhaust helps the Duramax make over 500 rwhp on diesel fuel and over 600 rwhp spraying nitrous when drag racing

i bet it handles around the turns like a champ.

their is no update out for the current turbo, hopefully in the future, neat to see what happens then, dodge boys are seeing huge numbers with that alone, stock duramax boost is 19psi, with the boxes it is about 32psi, hopfully a aftermarket will take to around 50psi, when they ever come out, major reason they say is the location under the hood, with the fire wall and ect.very close, :furious:

has there been any other races agaist the diesels lately

It could happen.

they'll gain over 150HP and over 200ft/lbs of torque with a good hand held programmer or custom tune. It wont be a superchips setup, but something along the lines of a predator, LS1EDIT, or HP Tuners software.

Do they really leave that much on the table with them where they could gain that much without even changing out the exhaust?

Edit: I guess the rest of my question was answered with the post from the website.

i have yet to see a 'chipped' deisel run better then 14 but mostly because of our elevation and the fact they are all running 35" tires min. so i guess it could be done. Some of the guys though run deep in to the 12's and top of the 11's with their full set up. (Calgary AB, oil rig guys)

self explanitory

Running 12's in any factory diesel truck is highly unlikely with just a chip. Although its not that hard to get there... (turbo, fuel pusher pump, tuner(s), injectors, supporting mods)... Some guys have put bigger turbos on and run ridiculous tuner setups w/out fuel mods, but I've seen quite a few trucks blow up that way. I'm not saying that its impossible, but highly unlikely without at least a turbo and/or fuel upgrades.

1000 HP and 1700 Ft/lbs. gave him a 10.59? That thing must weight a ton, anyone have any idea how much a truck like that actually weights? 5000lbs. is my guess.

Diesels seriously own. 30-35:1 compression and 100+ psi of boost <-- of COURSE those things are moving, even in a 5-8000 pound truck :)

about 7000 lbs

i bet it handles around the turns like a champ.

:lol: really... do we have to be hating on the TRUCKS? These are trucks, for christ's sake. I bet our EVO/STI handles towing 10,000 pounds like a champ

in that link that guy with the green f350 says he runs 135psi! thats about 115psi of boost more than my engine lol

that f350 in the link is ****in insano. 135psi of boost i bet it sounds like a jet

a firefighter friend of mine has a lifted chevy silverado on 37's that he uses to tow his track car around. Ironically that thing gets better gas mileage than my wrx EVER did cruising around town. The last time he brought his supra to the track some dumb bastard bet him 5k bucks his modded mustang (five-point-slow) would light his doors. Sadly for him, that wasn't the case...my friends truck ended the day running a 11.64 in the 1/4 and 5k bucks richer.

(I have to laugh when i look back at it...his lifted truck beating up on that mustang was like watching someone beat up on a kid in a wheelchair...he never even had a chance!)

Take the bottle off and run these guys (they run a TBE and tuned for race gas). MY06 STi weighs 3298 with all liquids full. Seems like about even modding, right?

Don't get me wrong, I like what they're doing with the truck. Just personal preference on where you want to start. I personally don't want a fast truck. I want a fast car. To each their own.

i missed a shift once and got beat by one :lol:

In my area there are a lot of Rednecks that think their trucks are fast, and they last about 3 feet, too bad there isn't something like this around for me to play with.

It could happen.

they'll gain over 150HP and over 200ft/lbs of torque with a good hand held programmer or custom tune. It wont be a superchips setup, but something along the lines of a predator, LS1EDIT, or HP Tuners software.

Power gains of up to 40% with propane or LPG fumigation. Anyone interested can look that up.:alien:

Makes me wonder what a small turbo diesel wrx would do? Isn't that in the works for Subaru?

last time I was at the dragstrip in Byron, Il there was a chevrolet diesel truck that was running mid 11's. It was pretty cool, and the best part was that it towed a car to the track.

Sweet. :)

Id love to have that F350. I like going off-roading and "muddin"(call me redneck, I dont care) and I love going fast in a straight line. It might not be able to go into a turn that fast, but for something of its size/weight..its very respectable. Oh, and you can tow your mobile home with you too. Id love to see what it runs with a 30ft mobile home trailer on it :lol:

i run a 12.0 with my 07lbz all day long with just a turbo, ppe chip and tranny upgrade in medicine hat

now add nitrous and she would be low 11s, my buddys cummins runs low 10s...

when are we gonna see a impreza with a diesel motor that pushes omega boost?!?

saw a supercharged cobra get beat about half a cars length by a big turbo diesel..def. mad power

136 psi!!! I thought 36 psi was alot of boost.

i will try in figure out how to add one of my own

I love the thought of diesel performance.RPMS stay way way down. The stroke has to be big, hence a big engine, big vehicle doing bigger things. I hate the little engines attempting it...
I wonder if they will have a fuel change just for little engines, between deisel and gasoline.
In just the past 15 years (I have been around rigs my whole life). The changes are phenomonal and reactions to the track times are surprising even now.
From 60 mph "to the hammer" with 40 tons on to shifting just 9 gears today into an 8% grade and feeling your belly drop to no slow down with the same weight is incredible (for me anyway- imagine going to florida in a 1978 freightliner .) Not to mention "burying the needle" .
I like the trucks, no redneck stereotypes coming from me. The standard for fast leaves 11 seconds 1/4 fast for everybody.. ya know what I mean? regardless of what is really straining and what really has power, the guts of it all is surrounded by standards. :rolleyes:

bgd73, not to pick, but...

The stroke doesn't have to be big...
The engine doesn't have to be big either...

If you don't believe me, look at Audi's R10 race car...
Its a diesel, its small, and it is detuned...
It only makes 800 ft/lbs of torque, detuned...
Unlimited tune makes more power than most big rigs ever dreamed of...

Diesel performance is just getting started, and it is here to stay...

as for my buddys cummins he runs twin turbos making over 100psi boost.... lets just say alot of air

as for his weight... over 7000lbs... hp over 1300hp@2000tq
