Default STi Stage 2 at 1/8th

we finally got to take out the STi to the local track. Here are the results

1st run. 60-1.758 ET- 8.623 MPH- 79.109 Clutch slipped in 2nd/3rd
2nd run 60-1.822 ET -8.942 MPH- 76.122 Missed 2nd Clutch slipped in 3rd

I feel like the second the run was the best. The first run was in the right lane and felt the some tire spin in the top of 1st. I took the second run in the left lane and the car gripped much better in my opinion if I didnt miss 2nd that coulve easily been a 8.4 or 8.3 run. Open for opinions or advice.

1.7 is a good launch, but your car seems to get slower down the track. stg 2 sti's are easily capable of runing 8.0's at 86mph. possibly need to shift faster.

you might be right. I also has to do with the fact we drive for about 45min to get to the track and didnt really let the car cool down before we ran it. I still feel like a new clutch would bring some of that top end back too.

All the little things add up, trust me...



'05 STi
Cobb Stage 2
Helix catted down-pipe
RiftsWRX pro-tune
BFG g-force sport tires
62***176;

I've pulled a few 1.6's, but without the RE070's I don't expect those to be the norm.

I wouldn't say easily, the norm is 8.1-8.4. 7.9 and 8.0 are possible, but highly improbable unless all the conditions are perfect, and you've got time to do several runs (cooling off in between).

Normal (good) Stage 2 STi numbers:

60ft: 1.77
330ft: 5.30
594ft: 7.66
8th: 8.22
MPH: 82-83

Whats your opinion on that second run? I just think if 2nd gear wasnt missed it couldve been a 8.4 to 8.3 run. we plan on going out there next week but this allowing proper cool down before each run.

Were probably going to put the stock turbo heat shield back on too. The underside of the intercooler on the left side was very hot. I think 8.2 next week is not out of the question. That 8.1 run posted was at 84mph so weather permitting I think we will be righ on it.

Far from easily. More like protuned stock turbo sti's, possibly with high octane/ meth.

Im protuned with meth and my best is a high 8.0xx low 8.1.

It's hard to tell with a missed gear. Remember, a lot of things come into play; ambient temp, elevation, heat-soak, tire condtion, track condition, driver ability, even if you were running on an 8th or full tank of gas.

The conditions you need to make a great run:

1. Go at night.
2. Look for ambient temps to be 65***176; or less.
3. Have no more than a ***189;-tank of gas.
4. Start with 35 psi in all your tires, and lower as necessary.
5. Avoid the water-box.
6. Do a slight tire-chirp before the tree to clean the tires.
7. Try 1 high-rpm (6,000 rpm) clutch-dump to get a feel for the track.
8. When shifting, concentrate on shoving your left foot into the carpet, your right hand will do it's job just fine.
9. Run the car to near redline in every gear.
10. Practice, Practice, Practice...

I'm hoping to get a 7.9 next year with a 50/50 alky/water set-up. I feel the car is capable of an 8.0 as it sits, I just haven't been able to put everything together to make it happen.

^ Sounds like you need some practice too. I'm basing my opinions from my results when my car was a stg 2, a long time ago. I ripped off 8.0's every time I went to the local 8th mile, txs tbe and utec that never had a custom tune.

All Stage 2 cars are not created equal.

For example; my only performance mod (other than the AP) is a Helix catted down-pipe, not a full TBE, which certainly makes a difference. Also, I only gained an average of 10 whp/2 wtq with my pro-tune, which shaved a mere .026 off of my 8th mile time.

Absolutely, I'm just saying that some cars are down on HP, so it's not reasonable to assume that every Stage 2 car will pull an 8.0.

That is true not all cars are going to put down the same numbers.

Yeah yeah, whatever...lol.

On a more serious note, do you think a TBE pro-tuned Stage 2 STi wearing the original RE070's is capable of a 7.8 without meth/alky/water inj.?

i think so. a stg2 sti with a custom tune should see high 7's. there are a few floating around this forum somewhere.

or you could go with a 35r and hit 7 flat

BTW, to go along with that timeslip, it might be helpful if you posted your exact mods. GT35R + ... + ... + ... = 7.0.

UR 35r kit, tbe, injectors, fp, utec, fmic, + topspeed tune on vp import (stock block/heads). the 7.0 is my best et to date, never been able to duplicate it again, but I've run a few 7.1's on my new cobb stg2 block/heads. I've also trapped as high as 102mph, compared to the 95mph on the 7.0 run.

Was this replacement for progress, or did something give under the GT35R's strain?
