Question what kind of 1/4 mile times are you guys getting

I finally got to take my WRX to the strip and I am a bit disapointed. I could only manage 14.5 at 92mph. I have a TXS turbo back exhuast and K&N filter on the car. All of these mags are ripping off these times with the stock car. What gives. I was not afraid to let the thing fly. After a couple of runs I let it rip and launched at about 4500rpm and slipped the clutch a bit (tires did spin some) and I had a 1.92 60ft time, but the car seemed to die for a second when I shifted into second gear. It bogged down some then took off. Am I not making the 1st to 2nd shift right? Should I slip that a bit too (I was slamming the gear). I am waiting for the unichip to come in from TXS and I am hoping that this will help get the car into the 13's. What is everone elses experience with the stage II setup. Am I not doing something right here? I thought that I would fair better at the track. I case you are going to ask? It was about 50 degrees outside and at night. so it was a cool night. Let me know what is going on!!!!

My best so far with a Vish-XS stage 0.2 is a 13.52@99 with a 1.87 60'. Mods are:

Blitz SBC-ID set @ 16.5
TurboXS Turboback
Unichip (Currently using TXS's Stage II Map)
TurboXS Type H BOV
Vishnu Uppipe
Vishnu Pulley
Colder plugs (whatever came with Stage 0)

This was rolling on Subzero's with 225/45/17 Azenis. After the Turboback was installed, I get a little wheelspin at the launch. Currently launching at 5K with slip and shifting @ redline in every gear (crossing the timer in 4th). Still working on the launch though. I think an MBC would probably be worth a couple tenths from what I hear.

something is wrong. Where were you shifting. The best stock time people have posted is 14.1. My person time was [email protected] with a 2.0 60' time. I obviously didn't know how to launch then. People have run 13's with just exhaust. I ran consistant 13.8@96-97mph with just mbc (1.8 60').

Your 60' is decent, the only thing I can think of is you are shifting too soon. Your mph is way low.

I am shifting at 6500 to 6700rpms and I have even let it go to redline a couple of times? I am not sure what is going on. I thought that it seemed a bit on the slower side. All of the dyno results that I have seen shows the power of the WRX dying off at about 6200rpm should I shift then? It is very frustrating. I thought that I should see more results? Something has to be wrong? It just doesn't seem to really pull right away in second, could I be banging the clutch to much and let it slip more? I am confused. Help!!!!!!!!!!!

keep practicing. you can't just read 100 posts on how to drive fast and expect 14 second 1/4 mile times. practice helps a lot. also, try to keep less than 1/2 tank of gas in your car.

this is what I am talking about. This is not the first time that I have been to the track. I used to take my mustang there. So I am not that new at it. Just new with this car. I am not sure what is going onmaybe it is the track that I am running at? it is up in the mountains a bit, but I am unsure of the altitude? Would this effect it dramaticly? What about the fact that I did this with a set of 18's on the car. I know that everyone says to run the stock ones when you race. But I would like to have a good looking fast car not just a fast car. I am going to go again in about 2 weeks and I think that I will put the stock wheels on to see if there is a big difference. Hopefully I will have the rest of the stage II kit by then as well. keep the info coming it might not help but it is interesting to see what you guys are running and how my car compares

Very simple. You are not getting a good launch. I know its hard to believe but you are giving up about 3 tenths and 2-3 mph with your slow launch. I am not bagging on you and you did very well for racing that car for the first time. I did worse my first time out.

The only way I have ever found to get 1.7 and 1.8 60 ft times is to hold at 3000 rpm. Then floor it at the second yellow. When the tach hits 5500 rpm let the clutch go. Dont pop it. Just let your foot straight up off of it. You should not get any clutch slip. You should get some front wheelspin. Hold it WOT till 7000 and the go for second.

I bet 3-4 more runs with this launch will get your 14.0-14.2

I concur 100% with this method

The problem of course is that the stock clutches only last so long with this method when you start making over 300 wheel hp - - - don't even try one of the aftermaket clutches - I tried 3 of them and the stock one was the best for drag racing - - like I said trouble is that after a few passes it can start to let go and slip when you slam it hard

Agrees that the aformentioned method will eat the stock clutch quickly ( it did it to my RS) but the bit about the stocker being the best clutch..... thats silly.

Exedy/ACT/JUN hybrid setup. and loves every minute.

Oh P.S. My RS ran an altitude corrected 14.8 @ LACR. N/A. to stay on topic.

All I can say is that I have about 110 passes on my stock trans and stock Clutch making good power and all of my launches where like I describe. I dont slip the clutch and since I do not slip the clutch it does not get glazed and therefore slip like on your car. Slip the clutch and it will go bye bye in a hurry.

thats funny. I have always slipped my clutch and made decent 60 fts and probably as many as 70+ passes. I am still on the stock clutch.

that's exactly how I launch. Not only do I get 1.8's but I get them consistanly. I can run 1.8's like 10 times in a row.

Also, your mph is so low because, as I guessed, you were shifting too early. Shift at redline and then tell us how you do. You should get 13.9-14.1 with your mods.

I am going to have to give the suggestions a try and see what happens the next time that I make it to the track. Last night I just received the rest of the stage II kit in the mail. (unichip - mbc) I am planning on installing them over the weekend and then to the track I will go. So no one thinks that the 18in rims has anything to do with it? I was looking at some of the other threads and they seem to put down the larger rims when it comes to going to the strip. The next trip that I make to the drag strip I am going to let the clutch fly and redline on all of the shifts to see what I get..... Thanks for the help guys. I will let you know what times I get!!! Still would like to see what everyone is running. I get a kick out of these little 4 cyl and the way that they knock down most of the newer v8's.

overinflate your tires a little (40psi), that seems to help (me at least).

Everyone seems to have their own idea of the best shift points. Me included. My personal experience is to shift right at 7000 rpms for the best times. I tried shifting at 6500 rpms and lost .2-.3 tenths in the 1/4 mile. My car runs best at 7000 rpm shifts.
I ran 13.3 @ 101 with Turboxs stage 2 set up shifting at redline in all gears. Thats with 17'' prodrives 21.5 lbs wheels.

Use the strip to your advantage. Make a few more passes with our recomendations and then install the unichip at the track. It only takes 10 minutes. Then tell us if you speed up or not. Thats the only way you will know if it helps. Or Make some passes with it and then pull it out.

The 18's will slow you down. I have 18 inch wheels/tires that are 39lbs total while the stock wheels are 40 lbs total. I loose 2 tenths and 2mph on avg if I run the 18's. They are the same overall size and they are lighter but they still slow me down. The weight is more towards the outside edge of the rotating wheel and they are harder to get moving. If you have your stockers you will will drop down.

But I bet those 18'' look nice. I would gladly trade .2 tenths for some nice looking wheels.
