Profile says he has a 240SX, but his mods include a SMIC and non sequential, so I'm guessing he has an FD.

Failure of a thread, either way.

u should have put about 23 cars on him, give or take or a few. I think you need a rebuild, must have low compression.

100-125.......... Healthy motor
85-100.......... Good enough for now
Below 85.......... Motor is tired, rebuild is around the corner

what year is your FD?

Do you have full non-sequential or "poor mans" non sequential?

My friend has a 94 with a fresh motor, downpipe, RB cat-back and Greddy hard intakes, he pulled like crazy against an 06 STi.

sorry i meant to say far as i know! another thing i should let you guys know is that my turbos have been smoking a lil thats only if i dont start my car for while or sumtime every now!

JayShadow

and you dont see a issue with that, given the mods you have?

^ what you mean? I dont understand what your saying, sorry

Sideo

I think he means with the exhaust opened up that much you need at least a standalone and mabye some bigger injectors.

Sprockett

That's not entirely true. You just have to make sure you don't boost past the stock levels. As long as you don't go past 10psi, you should be fine. An open exhaust allows for boost creep, however, and that can be bad (leads to going lean, then detonation, then new motor time)

Ya havnt seen My boost go past 10. i had a feeling something was not rite wen i was racing him and was only able to put 2 cars on him from roll. from wat i read alot peeps that raced sti beat them pretty gud wit similer mod as me

Just Go Single And Then You Absolutly Destroy Sti's All Day...even Smoke Z06 Corvete...

tafkamb2

RX7Crazy_84

iTrader: (1)

true i could go single but right i am just trying to figure out, if theirs somethign wrong wit my engine or the turbos? cuz every1 else have done better wit my similer kind mods against sti

1994 Mazda RX-7 0-60.....5.3
1/4.....14.0

2006 Subaru WRX STI 0- 0-60......4.5
1/4....13.0

STOCK FOR STOCK STI WINS...BUT THE RX7 IS A 94 AND THE STI IS A 2006...12 YEARS OF TECHNOLOGY THEY BETTA BE FASTER....

YES I AM AWARE OF THAT! but from roll its different story

jdhuegel1

Not really... From a roll will definitely help but doesn't mean you'll just automatically win.

People have a very hard time understanding that the FD just ISN'T that fast. They CAN be, and are very fun to drive... but where they excel is on the TRACK where thay can take advantage of other aspects of driving; not just shifting in a straight line.

Don't beat yourself up about it.

Drop another 10-15K in the car and you'll be up with the times.

Or just drop in a Corvette motor in your 7....I had one...had to sell it...I loved it....***puts on flame retardant suit***
