I was just wondering if you guys think i could take my friends wrx. He just ran it in the 1/4 mile and he ran a 13.2. He just has some basic bolt ons.

 

Depends what you've done to your car. Personally I'd be asking for a rematch, and to do it on a circuit track, then see who wins when it comes to corners.

Edit: Just saw your .sig... yes you should be able to flog him easy, provided your car is tuned right and you can drive it.

 

More info please? 60' times? trap speeds? What about you? What do you run?

From a roll WRX's aren't so tough, but off the line you won't beat it without slicks and you'll be playing catch-up.

 

you think you are on stock injectors. and you have no fuel control. I'd say definatly not. if your luckey you won't blow it up. let alone beat him.

 

Hmmm very good point there Scott 89t2 It just hit me he has a T04, streetport, FCD and standard injectors/ECU? (so it would seem from the .sig anyway...)

 

has a fuel pump and 520's pushing 8psi

 

i don't think you can be him. owning both cars i'd say you will really only beat him on the highway. but that is a dumb place to race. And the wrx will be the rx7 on the road course unless the rx7 has tires and handling mods. Right now i'd pick my wrx over my seven, but the reason i bought the seven was so that i can kick some *** on the road courses. I realized the wrx just didn't have the top end and potential the seven does.

 

well I think that a streetported engine with a T04 (getting enough fuel... ) will do ALOT better than a 13.2. In which case it would beat a WRX(with simple bolts on's..) quite easy. I also think that WRX launches are overrated.

 

i know i know im working on the fuel situation as we speak. would 720's make me run rich?

 

it'd be pretty hard for a rex tu run without tires, hehe

 

Yes they would
You need a different ECU
There no two ways about it, you need someway to control the fuel you need to inject in.

 

I think im going to go with the S-afc what size injectors do you think i should use

 

I decided to to buy 2 720cc for secondary,
should I buy a SAFC or keep using the HKS f-con and GCC?

 

IMHO I wouldn't go anything less than a fully programmable ECU, like a Microtech or better yet, a Haltech. Especially for a T04 on a streetported engine.

What you should get depends on how much money you would pay, but above is what I would do.

 

If you only get an s-afc or something like that, I'd go with 4 720cc injectors. If you go haltech or another EMS I'd go with stock primaries(cleaned/blueprinted) and 1600cc seondaries.

 

so i could use the S-afc and 4 720's. plus like a digital boost controller. would i blow my engine doing?

 

Like others said you have a full to4 on a streetported engine. It looks like there is a good chunk of change already invested into that car, so why cheap out when it comes time to engine management. Yes you could have 4 720's controlled by a SAFC....but why not just go Haltech or another stand alone.

 

because it's a **** load more money. Why do it if i can get away with something else that's cheaper and that i know how to work. I don't like the idea of having something on my car i don't know how to use.

 

gsracer if you ran a 13.8 with those mods im pretty sure i should be high 12's low 13's

 

Man with a full T04 you can get in the low 11s with the proper full and tuning.

 

the wrx launches aren't overrated. i pulled 1.8 60' times stock. bone stock. Full drag camero that went up against me pulled a 1.6.

 

a WRX w/ those mods shouldn't be a tough kill...get some injectors and an AFC so u don't blow yer motor on the win as said before, proper fuel will make big power on a streetported T04. ever look at a WRX's turbo? they dont accelerate very hard, AWD is huge at the dragstrip!! WRX turbo's flow very very wimpy CFM's, even the IHI upgrades...great cars, but takes some real mods to hit 12's. A 7 should be much easier...could probably keep a stock turbo (ported, & w/ enough fuel)

 

Sorry I'm not much into drag racing so those numbers don't mean much to me, I dont have much to compare them too. I'm just going on previous experiences i've had with Wrx's. I believe it all comes down to driving ability, anyone can launch a 4wd but it's a fair whack harder to launch a 2wd properly.

 

Ok i dont think i have this clear
Does Greddy front bumber= Greddy FMIC ?
IS that what you meant to say?
Well anyway if you still have the stock IC then i would worry about those intake temps cuz remeber that stock IC is effieciant untill what? 6psi? So yeah thats extremly important when worying about blowing up your engine.
If you already have the FMIC then i wouldent worry all you need is that engine manegmet, and the bigger injectors then you'll be all set you should defetly be able to beat that WRX

I second that

 

yeah it has a FMIC but it has a trust front bumper it's made by greddy.
