He also said he would definitely run 12s if he get,
XS Cold Air Intake
DN-performance DownPipe Upgrade
Is this true? all that investment is very small to run that kind of excellent time...

He'll definitely hit the low 13's with that setup. Breaking into the high 12 is going to be very hard, but not impossible.
Check out this link. It has several Professional Tuners with their packages including HP, TQ, 1/4 mile and prices.

This link have actually peoples car and their mods with some 1/4 mile times:

These two links will help determine how his car will perform.
Hope this helps.

You can remove the BOV, Turbo Timer, and Short shifter from that list because they do nothing to make the car faster.
I would say he would run about a 13.3 maybe a 13.1 if it is a cold day. Those numbers on that web site are rather optimistic btw.

Well for BOV and Turbo Time, true.
Short Shifter does make difference in 1/4mile racing.
After all, shifting is all about racing with manual vehicles aint it?
btw,
there is this WRX guy ran 13.3 with just
ECU upgrade, up-pipe and another bolt-on mod.
how the hell did he get that time?

Sounds a little optimistic.... with a perfect condition vehicle I could see it.

Vishnu claims those kind of times with their stage 0 with:
- Vishnu-remapped ECU
- Main Power Pulley
- 321 Up-Pipe kit
They claim:
Stage 0
At the Drag Strip…
0-60mph: 4.5-4.7 seconds
¼ Mile: 13.2-13.6 seconds @ 98-100 mph

I saw a stage 0 with an exhaust and some other mod run a 13.6. So, it is a little optimistic. Perhaps with cold weather and a great driver, sure.

It's possible, but it would be an one time, perfect launch perfect shifting, kind of thing. IMO with those mods it would be very hard to run consistent 12.8-12.9s. Maybe not run those times at all and be low 13s is more likely.

also we should consider what tires vishnu was using on the strip
i don't think we could pull those times with anything less than slicks.
all those "hidden" costs in the times.

I don't think tires are really an major factor in running high 12s with an wrx, as a few people have run 1.7x 60' times with stock rims+tires. I have run numerous 1.8x with stock tires and rims as well.

ebc, uppipe, shifter, and ecu should give him low 13s...
w/good conditions, 13.2-13.3
w/great conditions, a 13.1-13.2
w/a downpipe & intake, a 12.9-13.0 can be achieved
w/out a downpipe, it is gonna be REALLY hard to break 12s

Wow those number seen really low!!
well i just got back from an import drag racing event, here are the no B.S. numbers
friends car:

1/4 mi 14.4
my car:
vf22 turbo, unichip, super sticky tires, uppipe, 3" turboback exhaust
60' 1.9
1/4 mi 14.0
friends car:
vf 34 turbo. utec, front mount intercooler, sti injectors, header, upipe, turboback exhaust, underdrive pulleyes. sticky tires

these are all real world numbers, im not saying that anybody typeing B.S. on their numbers, but there is always a big difference between the numbers people say and type and what i see when i go to the races, im going again tomorrow so mabe ill see some faster times, ive only been to 2 drag racing event, so mabe im not getting the whole picture, anyway this is my experience

Looks like someone needs to learn how to drive. You should have been in the low 13's. You must have been pretty pissed to only turn a 14.0 with all the crap that you have on your car.
deeman81,
Good looking numbers. Tell me more about your custom turbo-back. I'm working on one myself for around $400. You can see the details about mine here:

i dont understand!
how come a 6K rpm launch, a 1.9 sec. 60 ft. time anly got me a 14.0!! i had about a dozen runs that day all were big tranny killin clutch dumps and redline shifts
my vf 22 ran 17lbs all the through the powerband!!
could something be wrong with my car?

rednek wrx,
Were you keeping your rpm's in the peak range? (4500-6500ish)
Who tuned the unichip?

03-03-2003, 06:49 PM
as far as I know, doing clutch dumps at 6K RPM is not the wisest thing. Maybe that is why you are only running 14's. Try slipping the clutch, from about 4500 RPM to 5K RPM and you might see better results -- not to mention a more stable tranny. At that rate, 6K RPM dumps will require you to get a new tranny...soon!

that isnt the point... w/all those mods & a 1.9 60' there is something definetly wrong w/his tiime...
14.0?! thats impossible...
pretty much doing anything to a wrx, w/a good launch, would yield 13s...
he's got an upgraded turbo, unichip, bla bla bla...
somethin is wrong w/ur car, thats all i can say

I slipped the clutch at about 4500-5000 and pulled a 1.89 60ft time. I dont know why your car is not pulling hard topend. I thought mine was slow at only 97 mph

im taking my car in to get it tuned in a couple of weeks, to see if something is off, i was disappointed at first but after looking at everybody elses times it didn't seen that bad
Ex: 02 rsx typeS ran a 16.2...turbo civic 14.5...and a modded N/A typeR on drag slicks ran a 14.9
mabe it was terrible tack conditions, weather was warm and were about 3500ft. in altitude, anyway id like to try again at a different track
inthedeck
03-08-2003, 04:57 PM
the altitude definately has something to do with it. There's a calculation somewhere, that allows a person at such altitude to calculate what the car would run, when at a closer distance to sea level.
Maybe if you search for altitude, you might find some threads that contain this calculation. Or, as you said, run at a track that is not 3500 feet above sea level.
