I have an 89 TII, with a BNR stage 3 upgraded t04, 550cc prim's, 1100cc sec's, 2 1/2 exh, microtech, greddy 2row fmic, TB mod, streetported motor, intake, and the other basic stuff.....how would i do at 11psi, at 15psi? anyone race a new STi yet?

Well I think you should go dyno your car.......How does one go about tunning on a stock ECU??? Personally with those mods I would think you would eat it up. At 15psi your probably nearing 300rwhp, or maybe I am wrong?? And 300rwhp on an FC is pretty fast.

 

Ahh I over looked the microtech, tune that babey good, and you'll devour them for sure.......I'd say you'd break the 12's no prob if you can drive it good.

 

at least a fair match

 

get a 3' exhaust, it'll help

 

Completly confident in a hands down win for you.

 

I think with those mods you are running faster than 12s assuming you can hook on the track. You should beat him.... A new STI here was running consistant low 13s w/ 1.8 60' times.

 

if it's tuned and you can drive you'll rape 99% of the cars on the road

 

Excellent! i was expecting to hear such good news. I am going to get it tuned once i have the money. I also live in WA and we are starting in on the next 9 months of rain so i'm not sure when i'll get a chance to race the STi. its a friend of mine's from work. He totalled his highly modded WRX and decided to upgrade. anyway thanks for the input.

 

hope you smoke him.

 

Won't his 550cc primary's be choking him, along with the 2 1/2 exhaust? Or do small primary's not matter when running a Microtech?

 

550 primaries won't choke him because he has the fuel where it matter int he seconraries all thaugh 1100 do seem a bit small but tunned properly it should be about right... I thin you will rape him.

 

You would walk off and leave him on the road. The best MPH that an STI could hope for in a 1/4 mile is around 103. At 11-15psi you should be approaching 110mph or higher. The WRX/STI was designed for a broad torque band at 3500RPM and peak HP at 5000. It really starts to drop off after 6000RPM.

The STI is a nice car but it's not setup for drag racing, although it still does a good job.

I'm debating getting one. They are quick cars, they are geared really low.

But in a 1/4 it will be close, it depends all on your traction and 2nd to 3rd shift.
