Err, I can't freaking drive.

2.2 60' with my drag radials. (This is on a 92 sentra btw).

I did however beat an EVO with bolt on's twice.

He was pulling 2.0 60's haha.

Wow that EVO owner can't drive or his bolt-ons made his car slower. Nice TQ numbers for your car.

Most tuned STis with exhuast are running high 12s. They typically make more TQ, but I'm sure your 92 Sentra is also a lot lighter so you too should have 12s or so I'm guessing.

Most? I'm sure there are quite a few, but I doubt "most" people are capable of driving that well. And given how people love to rag on anyone who doesn't post a high 12 with an STI w/tune and exhaust (gg internet), I have serious doubts about the "most" part.

If I could drive I'd run 12s.

It was my 2nd time ever with the car at the track. I'm hoping to cut a 1.9 60' sometime and hit high 12s.

you ever run it on street tires?

never seen a sti run 12's with just a exhaust. i dont kno where you drag race.

.....

My radials are my street tires. :)

If I ran it on actual street tires, god no. I spin until 3rd gear with the tires I had on it before the radials.

i've still yet to see a sti tuned with a exhaust run high 12's.

look harder

look harder
wow your cool

You are correct, my error. A properly tuned STi with a good driver can be in the upper 12s. My main point was that his Sentra probably has 12s in it as confirmed by his next post.

wow your cool
lol no really you need to look harder. :p IIRC the best time I have heard about was either a 12.6 or 12.7 with the avg. being 12.9. Again those times are with the few good drivers.

im not saying it can't be done, read my post again. i've never seen it. i've been to many drag events and alot of the the drivers can't hit 12's with just an exhaust tuned, i've seen them run high 12's with a dp and exhaust, and i've seen a crawford built sti run 13.7's. im not talking about times on the internet, im talking about going out to the track and seeing alot of modded sti's going 13.6.

I've seen a STi with like exhaust and a tune run 12s.

I'm going to go to a local 1/8th mile track and practice launching and see if I can get a 1.9 60' or so.

good luck on your quest to the 12s :)

good luck on your quest to the 12s :)
Thanks.

My entire set up is getting changed over the winter so I may not have a chance to make it into the 12s on stock turbo..

I'm building my head and putting on a sc61.

12secsti ran a 12.9X with his 06, tbe'd, and NO tune....

(guess his name isa giveaway...) <--- but refers to his 05 which was deeper in the 12's...

alot of driver involved, i believe, but the car CAN do it....

ese

well done Matt, I'm glad your hard work is paying off. Be safe

Patrick

ive never "seen" a non-tuned STi run 12s, in fact all I have actually seen have been 13.4 + w/ bolt ons. And that is physically seen.

I never believe stuff on the internet, people post vids saying "bolt ons" when they have full tune and other crap but are embarrassed about their times.

A guy running mid 13s told me all he had was cat-back then I see a utec map selector in his dash. :lol:

i've still yet to see a sti tuned with a exhaust run high 12's.

Few people run 12.9's in stock STi's, they're just effin good drivers. Think of it like this, if they ran 12.9 stock then doin high 12's in a tuned STi with an exhaust system and OK driver sounds very logical.

+1, like i said i know people do run 12.9 with a exhaust tuned, but i've never seen it with my own eyes.

I ran a 12.9 @104mph with a TBE and intake but im also at sea level but it is possible if you know how to shift and launch

well done Matt, I'm glad your hard work is paying off. Be safe

Patrick
Thank you Patrick.

Haha you've heard me complain about this car just about as much as anyone. I'm glad that it is finally running how I've been saying it would haha.

Also, I'm going to probably start working on the suspension so haha, only took me a year.

in the Jan06' issue of Motor Trend, the driver did 13.0 with the 06' STi with 1400miles on it.
STOCK...

TBE will make it go 12.9 with ease. imo.

A guy from Motor Trend already stated that they they adjust their times for atmospheric conditions. So that time was never actually run, just calculated based on whatever they actually did run. Again, until I physically see an STi with just exhaust run 12.9 or with a tune run 12.5/12.6 , I think it is a very rare occurrence. It's just too many people get depressed over all the internet times they read that they then make up their time or lie about their mods when they post.

I ran a 12.94@107.5 with just a TBE and SRI, NO TUNE, stock weight.
I ran a 13.01@103.9 stock exhaust stock intake with weight reduction.
All times were run at New England Dragway at the fathers day subaru event.

Matt, now you can come on out to autocross!!!

never seen a sti run 12's with just a exhaust. i dont kno where you drag race.

I have seen it.

Hell its been done bone stock (rare, only a couple guys have done it)

Halfbaked, what the heck do you have done to that thing? 106mph is moving, it seems way fast for an SE-R, are you faster than most of them?

If this is as fast for an SE-R as I think it is, congrats. If its average, then wow. I didnt know they were that fast. I always did like those cars, I almost bought one when I was looking at my WRX in 02

+1, like i said i know people do run 12.9 with a exhaust tuned, but i've never seen it with my own eyes.



It looks like you're stating that the exhaust is the " tune " when it is in fact two separate things. :alien:

sr20det swap, stock turbo, 3 inch exhaust, 650cc injectors, nismo fpr, z32 maf, profec-b, boost set @ 15 lbs. other things here and there, but just basic mods.

It definately moves, I've trapped at 108 and I know I was trapping faster then 106 sunday but the lane I was in was messed up.

The car is faster then most stock cam stock turbo se-rs I believe. I made 276 whp and 302 ft lbs.

I just looked, there are a bunch of se-rs trapping over 105 on stock turbos. I think I could trap 110ish on my stock turbo. I just need to learn to drive a bit better.

And get some better suspension set up.

i kno its 2 seperate things.

matt, those are some impressive dyno numbers

matt, those are some impressive dyno numbers
I think I was more impressed then anyone when I saw the power my car started making, it definately shocked us.

I think my car is a freak or something.

Patrick when ya wanna go for a ride? Haha, you haven't ridden in it in a while. I actually have all my gears for once.

Congrats! should try again friday :0) I will be heading on up.

well Matt, it has been too long since we've hung out. I hear you and Jimmy are now both 21. Ryan told me about some of the fun :-)

Any car events coming up?

There is a drift day saturday at turner field.

Just a bunch of amateurs out there drifting, it should be fun. You should come stop on by, its like $5 admission.

I was told I can't run at commerce because I don't have a battery kill switch. :rolleyes:

No you can run at commerce. Why do you need a battery kill switch if you car is in the 13s?

Because I relocated my battery to the trunk.

It is hard to run intercooler piping with my battery still in the front and instead of getting a smaller battery I just moved it.

doh. Small battery for the win.

Commerce is a bad track anyways. I doubt I'll run again this season. Next season 11s for the win tho!

i've still yet to see a sti tuned with a exhaust run high 12's.
2 weekends ago at mir, i ran a 12.9 @104 on the third try with a 1.70 60' time. The tune makes the difference (agile automotive rules!), as I still have the stock axleback exhaust.

never seen a sti run 12's with just a exhaust. i dont kno where you drag race.
what about dp, cai, & pulley? stock ecu, stock axle back.


12.9 @105 @ 1200 ft elevation :devil:

now that guy was fast. haha those were great runs, going out december 3rd?

Back to the original topic of you beating that evo when you were running a 13.5 that guy must suck ass at driving. My friend drives an 05 evo and with a tbe and an elec. boost controller he ran a 13.4 here in wyoming. So at sea level im saying mid to high 12's.

now that guy was fast. haha those were great runs, going out december 3rd?
yep its posted in so cal ;)

will have my injen phantom fmic on by then.

i've still yet to see a sti tuned with a exhaust run high 12's.
I just ran 12.987@104.86mph with a 1.780 60' on a 31 degree track. That was made possible with a SPT cat-back and a EcuTek with a modest tune on 93 octane. I am also a novice drag strip driver. Check out my other thread in this forum Xotic tuned......
Just thought I would through that in.

That's probably exactly what I would have run if I would have had a 1.78 60', instead of a 1.70 60 ft. That's erie. Your name isn't Trey, is it? BTW, good run. My tune is also a conservative 93 oct tune, with AFRs in the high 10s.
