T66 FD v. WRX with big turbo & C16 ***VID***
 

Last weekend I ran this fast WRX. I don't know how much boost he was running, but apparently he has a "big turbo" and was running C16. Both cars had passengers to make it fair. I was running 20 psi which is only making 425 whp currently. My mechanic and I are in the process of trying to figure out why the power is 25-50 whp lower than it should be.

The race was from 40-140. I started a bit behind him, but the road ends rather quickly, so I was trying to get started as soon as possible.

I got quite squirrely in second when I hit it (though the video doesn't really show it), so he got out on me pretty hard. I ordered my Nitto drag radials on Wednesday, so that shouldn't be a problem any more. I reeled him in nicely though.

Anyways, please don't link directly to the vid. Go to the linked thread below and download it from there. The owner of Need2Speed.com is kind enough to host the video, so feel free to take a look around while you're there. He makes tons of cool videos, and you can find most of them in the Kills section.

Good kill. Thanks for the vid.

Link didn't work for me...:(

Really? Did you left-click the link in this thread, then right-click-Save-As on the Need2speed thread?

looks like the site may be having temporary problems. This link works: http://www.need2speed.com/Home/cgi-bin/ib/ikonboard.cgi



Then clicking on any of the forums from there returns the same error:



"Ikonboard CGI Error
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ikonboard has exited with the following error:

/your/path/to/Home/cgi-bin/ib/Skin/ did not return a true value

Sounds like a nice win though :bigthumb:

windows media says cant play......need codec?

Nice vid. Your fd sounds awesome. That wrx was friggen quick. Any stats on the wrx?

R.K.

What do you trap Piano?

Hmm... got the video downloaded from home just fine..


Cool vid, nice kill!

Your car and your videos are awesome. I just got my big turbo FD, but I have some experience with Nitto drag radials, and you will love them. Your car will be completely different. I just got some 255/50/16 BFG drag radials because the newfound power was annihilating the stockers. Good luck and be safe

P.S. : MB kicks ass!!! I used to think it was the most boring of the colors until I got one. It is so pearly and sexy

wow that must be one big turbo on that wrx.. :s

nice kill :)

For that WRX to hang with a 425 whp FD, it must have one helluva setup.

Your car is clean as hell and very fast.

Word. I wanna know what he has done to the WRX. Is it an STI with a bigger turbo or a regular WRX??

im assuming since the wrx name is green he is using the FP Green turbo which is good for 400-450 whp. heres a link to the info for the turbo.

Yeah I got some codec message.

video don't play for me all I hear is music

still wanna know if its an sti or not

the movie stated its an 03, they didnt make sti's in 03, 04 and 05 only.
its kinda hard to see but towards the end of the video it shows just a tiny bit of the hood and part of the hood scoop. that scoop looks like an 03. i could be mistaken but i drive an 04 wrx with STi hood everyday and the view of the scoop is different.

It would be only a dream for most people, but I'm confident that I'll be able to afford it someday.

I'm not sure what is done to the WRX. I know what the video says, that's all. I don't know the guy. The race was setup for me. Had I actually gotten traction in second, I would have pulled him a bit in second, and much more in the other two gears. Regardless, I won.

OMG!!! Your FD looks so much different since the kit! You still have the best looking MBM I've seen to date. I'd love to see it in person. In fact, here in a few months I'll be back in Florida, so maybe I'll swing into Tampa and search for it!!!

Update:

I did some searching and found some posts by this guy on our local "racing" forum.


Pretty stout WRX if I do say so myself.

at 20psi it really moves!! ever run more than 20?

can you verify exactly what turbo he is using?

good runs...now run him at his own game...a dig...;)
