Infamous1 Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 I would think that its sucky. I went near 107 on the stock turbo, stock pump and injectors, and he is a full 6+mph slower. The launch wont affect his trap speed so much. But I was at 500ft of elev. Elevation really effects power and trap speed, at that altitude 107-108 mph STi's usually trap around 99-100mph.

mwiener2 Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 So here's somethign interesting. Last night I was driving around with my tuner and we noticed I'm only making 10psi... again I've got some kind of boost control problem. I think there's dirt or soemthing stuck in a vaccum line or the stock BCS is failing. I didn't log at the track, but it's possible I made those runs on 10psi instead of 18psi. I guess I'll never know till the next track time. My Mods List (Updated 8/22/17) 2005 Outback FMT Running on Electrons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mwiener2 Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 (edited) cause she still pulls like a banshee at 10psi at 18 psi i'm out of my compressor efficency range, especially at the higher rpms. so at 10psi, i don't get the initial monster torque, but the top end HP is only 15-25 whp less since it's a much much cooler charge temp I didn't feel like it was pulling as hard as she normally does....but i was focusing on other things at the time Edited June 7, 2008 by mwiener2 My Mods List (Updated 8/22/17) 2005 Outback FMT Running on Electrons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKLGT Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 argh!!!! So, not the LGT anymore, however the new car: 08 STI Stock with AMR CAI Cobb AP V2 I added a new map tonight from AMR and also tried one from PDX. I had better results from the AMR map, so thank you Rob for helping me out last minute and through the technical difficulties. 55 deg, AK Raceway Park, 70 ft sea level +.5269 RT 1.7940 60' 5.3542 330' 7.7641 ET @ 594' 8.3061 1/8 ET 83.02 1/8 MPH 13.0370 1/4 ET 104.19 1/4 MPH To compare with my best run ever in the LGT: Ran on 8/15/07 55 deg (about the same temps and conditions) +.5188 RT 1.83550 60' 5.3112 330' 7.7051 ET @ 594' 8.2362 1/8 ET 84.72 1/8 MPH 12.8650 1/4 ET 105.43 1/4 MPH So you can see where my 4th gear shift is really hurting my #'s. However, the trap speed definitely shows the car can run 12's, now I just need to drive her there! Wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle yeah!!!

Car and driver tested the 08 STI and best they could do was a 13.5. C&D also uses a correction factor, which means they have some multiplier in there to make it like the car was run in perfect conditions at 0' sea level, etc..

Really? I never knew, that is crappy, just give us the straight numbers you obtained from the tests. The magazines really need to show us time slips.

AKLGT Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 (edited) well, we're not at 0 ft sea level, but 70 ft is pretty damn close! and overcast, good temps (could have been 40's for optimal turbo happiness). Frustrating me because I know it's ME that's preventing the 12's and NOT the car at this point. I'm half tempted to swap tires or something, get something a little less weight than 18" wheels. Eh.. we'll see see. drag radials would be sweet. Actually one point of the night, I thought I killed my rear diff because I shot out of the hole so hard it jerked to the right. So I let off the gas a little, make sure the car was still running... oh well. And I think I need some shifter bushings. I missed 3rd on 2 of my runs. I mean, I went to shift into 3rd and it would NOT go in! I was getting extremely pissed! But I figured my times were decent since one of those runs I still ran 13.28 with missing 3rd and trying to stuff it in gear. Phew! my clutch is STINKY! added Timeslip http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v384/trdvibe/Test%20N%20Tune%20June%2011%2008/TT1303.jpg Edited June 12, 2008 by AKLGT Wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle yeah!!!

collegemt Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Here is what I could do with the upgraded turbo (vf4018g) at bandimere speedway in colorado (elevation 5800ft) R/T: .240 60': 2.196 330': 6.030 1/8: 9.232 1000': 11.943 1/4: 14.206 mph: 99.44 Not bad, but I am not completely satisfied. I think when I get a retune from RP I should be in the 13's. The car is much more consistent now. I ran 14.5 and 14.3 for most of my runs. Preciously with the stage 2 tune I was running 14.9 and a couple lucky 14.58's. I did weigh my car this time: 3300lbs without me in the car. Not bad for a limited 2008 model.

Infamous1 Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Well atleast it is faster, only thing that concerns me is Legend's car ran a bit faster on the stock vf40 at the same track. However based upon your slip, with some better drivng your car has a 13.9xx in it as it sits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't really have much until 4K, it should have more power alot sooner. It pulls great up top, just needs more torque down low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your car doesn't need a re-tune to run 13's. That mph should be good for 13.7 or quicker with a 1.8 60'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acqui Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Why are the traps so low? I noticed this in several LGTs that ran at English Town. They put down some massive 1/4 times but the traps are usually on the lower side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
