phwoar. i reckon ive got about 250, so we might give it a good shake! smash all the hsvs there running 14s.

it sounds like you haven't run your car at WSID before correct?

if so, don't be surprised to get a few 13-14 second time slips before your 250rwkw gets you something like a flat 13 or high 12.

youre right. im realistically expecting low 13s, theres a lot of time to lose in the launch i guess.

I had 5 runs on my first time there in a 200sx.

first run was a 14.8

last run was a 13.8

every run I did, I thought, I'll change this next time etc and it kept improving.

lots of fun. espesially the 14.8 run, which was, wheel spin, wheel spin, wheel spin, wheel spin, rev limiter in first, second, wheel spin, wheel spin, wheel spin all the while swinging the rear left to right and back... rev limiter in 2nd, 3rd, bog... then eventually cross the line just hitting the limiter in 3rd.. lol.

haha must have had no traction at all! my car has tons, except when its wet lol. when i launch off the lights i might wheelspin a bit through 1st, little chirp into 2nd then off she goes!

yeh.. it was more to do with nerves and 45 psi in the rear wheels (which were 255/35/17).

I eventually got a 1.9 60" with good controlled launch and 19psi in the rears.

are you using your street tyres?

what are they?

255/40/17 bridgestone potenza streets, id say they are pretty high-end since they were over $400 each. i run around with 36psi, and it says on them "traction - AA" haha.

too bad they only last 15000km.

I think its do-able ... 240kw netted me a 12.4 that's with poor clutch and tires... Im confident i could post a very low 12 now.

Sti is fair bit lighter, so with the right driver who isn't nervous on take off should be in lower 12 second bracket.

it can be done no worries

i have a mate with a wrx sti 2000 model

239kw at the wheels

12.3 down the quarter ill call him to get the time slip and try and find a scanner at work

wrx's are so expensive to modify as well the power really has to be dragged out of them not like a gtr where u just upgrade turbos

cheers

how are they more expensive to modify? power fc + td05 (big wheel turbo?) + fuel pump + ebc gets em to 200 + awkw. they dont even need to change injectors till 250awkw..

same mods as gtr's, only gtr turbos cost alot more and gtr's need to upgrade injectors to get descent power/weight figures compared to the wrx

well he modded his wrx and i modded my gtr and he spent way more to get basically the same power at the wheels

does that make sense

      Rebuilt Rb25det issues

      By KyoyaR33 · Posted

      Howdy all,   I had my rb25det S2 rebuilt and finally started it today but have run into a few issues  Engine sounds like a a diesel easiest way to summarise like small ticking, gets louder when revs are slightly adjusted  The engine builder repainted the engine cover leaving no where for me to go off with lining up the CAS so have it as central as possible so not sure it that could be affecting it?, changed the gearbox fluid too but won’t seem to go into gear when running, and only 1 to 4 when off having a hard time finding 5th and reverse anyone got any ideas or a base for me to start off? much appreciated

      Well, no. It's an 023, which is pretty similar to an 040. Although it is hard to tell from the specs, as given.

      My R32 Money Pit & The Headaches That Come With It

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Hmm. Maybe the (other thing I forgot about!) Haltech removes at least some, if not all, of the problem I described. I guess there is still the possibility of getting it wrong if the AC is set up/wired up for the Haltech as if it was in an R34 (simply because it's on a Neo), and that's playing foul with the R32 AC computer.
