I just looked at the raptor site. That sub 5.5 second 0-100kph is quoted with the supercharger. That is insanely slow for a supercharged 3.6R.

 

I will accept sub 4.5 second 0-100kph with 40% increase over stock HP.

Not being a car guy I had no idea what to expect. I'd owned three civics prior to this car and all had been automatics. every time I asked about upgrades on them everyone said it wasn't worth it you don't have a manual. So they never got modded. Finally with this 3.6 and people are starting to mod it so I can do upgrades and feel like I'm not venturing out into uncharted territory with no guidance or people to lean on.

If you are at least a 91 tune with an intake, you should be under 6 seconds.

 

Did Raptor use a completely stock 3.6R, add headers and a tune? What octane? What conditions?

 

I've had several ~5 second runs but they were all at 70 or less degrees.

 

...

Yeah I tuned with 92-93 depending on the station that I filled up at. As for where Raptor's getting their numbers I have no clue...and they may not have gotten numbers since ItalianLegacy probably hasn't been tuned yet...oh and it looks like the page got updated it's now sub 5.5 0-100kph.

So does anyone think we could get them to do a group buy at 25% off actually not sure I'd want to spend even that much on it just yet since I have the 100k warranty and taking that out probably isn't as simple as my current setup.

Add: intake, exhaust, and tune.

Do: 5 seconds flat

Have intake and tune. stock exhaust though. And will test again without the AC on as I know that takes away as one of the previous test tunes were showing 10 seconds speeds with the AC on...at first I was like WTF you're making my car slower than I realized I was awfully cool for a 90 degree day and tested again and it was back down to 7 -7.1 seconds.

Since Raptor says they only make the 3.6r a 5.5 second 0-60 with tune, I don't see my intake alone getting me anywhere close to that.

Did a 0-60 in 6.66 seconds with the AC - on, traction control - off, and not a launch control full throttle this morning. Will have to try it again without the AC and full throttle.

Not bad for a 3.6R I think...

Talking about the new wrx.

 

Is anybody else seeing what Subaru is doing with their lineup?

Seems to me that they are making room for a smaller subcompact.

Think about it. The 5th Gen legacy jumped in size alot, now the new wrx is similar in size and even looks like more of a natural continuation of the 4th Gen legacy.

I see a 98-01 Impreza sized or maybe even smaller car coming in the next few years to compete with such cars as the Yaris, Fiesta, etc.

Don't worry they're just bringing back the baja. Lol

Toads are harmless Jeni!

Watching everyone do auto-x makes me wonder if I'd do well at that. With there being no lines directing you where to go I'd probably either double run or short a run.

maf sensor and injectors are both upgraded yes.

What did they upgrade to? Part numbers would be nice

Where did you get the headers?

 

 

 

All I've seen from them EZ36 is related is your car's SC kit, I'd imagine the SC kit also comes with headers though?

Does not come with the headers but they're not that expensive for the current 3.0 h6 edition

I can't wait Fred!!!

 

love it. cross on the mirror showing just how much you're being thrown around too.

Its Friday...why am I not drunk yet??

working on it give me time. had to go in early this morning to let the cleaning crew in so I left early

Thanks... I wasn't impressed with them. 3 emails and no response just to have the chat guy tell me the email was disable and one guy quit working there. I said you might want to update your Contact page then. Then "Dewwy" did his best to get me to not order anything and succeeded.

thanks I'll avoid them as well. But than again the funnel would be useless for me now.

RaceRom feature for EcuTek may be getting close.

 

Here is an e-mail from AMR:

We

are in discussion with EcuTek to push the 3.6R's

compability and further help the community.

 

We would like to know your opinion on "what

RaceROM features would you like to see on your

vehicle?".

 

Thank you for your time.

Sent and email as on my way home I dropped down a nice back road and tested logging on the ECUTek and got a 20 for airflow and noticed some air flow intake warnings

I had mentioned going with a specific HPS straight coupler because I used a 9" filter.

 

I bet it sounds throatier than before.

you tell me

Sorry for the loose trash flying around during the initial acceleration which caused me to no stay on the gas fully. Air bags from the shipping container :lol:

Some said it couldn't be done. I'm here to say it can. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/05/29/sehe7a7e.jpg

Went and picked up clamps during the test run video to follow. Takeda intake with 3 inch coupler to 90 degree 4 inch to 3 inch reducer. 6 inch long 4 inch diameter pipe to K&n rc5171. Which actually tucks in completely under where the milk jug fit, which I was surprised by.

Stock LGT hoods are probably cheaper. Plus all he needs is the scoop for the tmic. But all of this is of course theoretical.

I was just thinking about function as well as lightening the car

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes it would be a direct fit. 3.6R with TMIC FTW!!!

Why not go with the carbon fiber hood. Light and useful.

Awesome as my EcuTek should arrive this week for me to start tuning. Btw can you pm me the contact information for the tech you've been working with?

It will shine when super charger goes on.

What was the cost of the super charger?

First page updated to reflect valve body upgrade...thanks.

Did you just install this? How does it feel? Worth the money?

I'm reading it as WRX / 5EAT meaning it works on the WRX as well as any other 5EAT but that might just be me being hopeful.

Tell us how it goes and if you feel any difference.

Current look. Lower grille is just sitting there for the photo as I haven't figured out what connector I'm going to use for the LED fog lights so that the bumper can be pulled without damaging the light wiring.
