there is a sweet rom mod for evos where flat-foot shifting is beneficial, basically you get a rev-limiter between shifts, so as you are shifting you are hitting a rev-limiter which keeps the turbo spooling

Im not a drag racer so I don't see any benefit from it, but I can see it helping quite a bit for 1/4 mile times

 

yea some say this and that it helps for those really design to keep the boost up. but think about it tho. even if it does help to keep the turbo spooling the whole time. it wont matter cuz u wont be puttng that power to the wheels when ur shifting. so if you shift slow it will not be beneficial. so driving mod will still be the major thing to have
sorry
if this dont make sense.

hahahahhaa

 

I daily drive my car when it's running lol. when it's not running well then it's just a big pain in the ***. At times I wish I would have just got an sti and left it somewhat stock.

flat foot shifting does help with large turbos.

 

it doesn't

LOL good one...kinda what i look like sitting next to a 34 ton hydraulic log splitter, not like last century chopping by hand.

true dat, dirt never gets old

 

My Subaru is supposed to have somewhere around 73hp. I used to daily drive it but it needs a transmission now.

 

Yeah +1 for the flatfoot - it probably doesn't matter as much for stock turbo, but large turbos no matter what RPM you are at, take a certain amount of annoying lag time to overcome inertia. BB and ceramic turbos mitigate this.



+1 on the STI. For what I've spent on my WRX (and I'm sure Davon feels the same way) I could have BOUGHT and sti AND fully built it.... with a 2.8l, cosworth cams and ported heads, etc. and be making like 700hp w/ a gt35r or something

I need to start a new thread called "HIGH HP bugeyes/non-stis from hell sound off" to discourage people from modding their wrx and just get an STI instead But then these days tuners got it all figured out what setup to run and crap, people probably don't make noob mistakes like back in the day anymore.

I know a certain '04 black wagon owner would jump into that one...

 

real men do it at the track

 

It would be sweet to drive a crazy fast car like that everyday.....but like you said....you need a beater to drive when it is broken.

How is the gas milage dan avon7?

I saw an article today about the twin turbo lingenfelter Z06..it still gets 25 mpg on the freeway! Amazing for a car that has a 0-100 time of 4.3 seconds.

 

dan avon is my hero! hahaha

 

My car only has 410whp daily driven with pump/meth and on race gas 463whp and 425trq :RockOn - not mine:

 

37 whp ftmfw!!

 

Having had 5 turbos, 3 motors, 100K+ miles and thousands of dollars spent chasing big power over the last 4 years with subies I have learned quite a bit and could offer some very sound advice.

But you guys wouldnt want to hear it

 

I'm no where near your mod list but I feel the same way all the time.

 

lets all sell our subies and get a z06, the fast stock car that i would leave it stock
