13.9 @ 102, 13.6 @ 100, 13.4 @ 101. I had a 1.8 and a 1.9 60', but mainly 2.0 and 2.2. Man, my gears are short. Especially 2nd.

Chris is right. The car breathes like an emphazema patient after a certain point. Part of that IS tuning, but my assessment is that it really felt like it sort've hit a wall. I was going against a 12.4 @ 116 Z28. I seriously had him until 1/8 mi where he started edging away....then really started to pull away.

I didn't see anything higher than 14psi no matter what I did. My fuel is still very rich. I purposely went down with 92 pump. My intent was just to see what I had and what the state of my tune was. Good news, though. No knock.

I know it's just butt dyno, but the car just feels so much more powerful in certain spots. It's really making me scratch my head.

Lastly, I've got a boost leak (hence 14psi). After I left the track where I was seeing no more than 14 from 1st through 5th gear, I did a couple of quick 5th gear pulls on H1. At first, the turbo begins to spool like normal, then you can hear a big 'leak'. It sounds like it's either in the gauge pillar area, or around where the BOV now is.

Hard to tell.

...met Burk? WRXGRL's bf. She saw a new PB of 14.7. Jon and Richie's bro, Nino, were also. Jon is seeing slower times by .2. I suspect my PWR ic may be the problem. Nino brought his folks BMW 725? That is the most pimp car I've ever seen. He took it down once, but the tc was slowing him down. That thing has an electronic trunk raiser, a push-button starter, and a TV screen in it stock (well, as options I guess). There was also a silver STI there pulling consistent 1.6 60's. Jeremiah and fambly showed up to root me on, but I think I provided negative entertainment.

 

It wasn't negative my wife really wanted to go because she had never been to watch drag racing and wanted to check it out she said I should try it some time...

 

Pat, for those of us too lazy to see what you ran before... what did you run before?

I went Friday night (had duty last night), ran my typical mid 15s at 87.x mph. I still can't launch out of the hole like you WRX guys can, I guess I just don't have the torque. I did manage a personal best 60', and that was only a 2.141 - of course I blew the 3-4 shift (even I gotta wonder how I managed that ) so the run was for nuthin'. I was running on my Kumhos, aired up to 44psi at all 4 corners, still gripped like crazy, just a little chirp from the fronts when I launched.

Pat

PS - Met a guy named Brandon running a silver STi with Tein Flex suspension, ridin' pretty low. We went head-to-head once which wasn't much of a battle obviously. Looks like he ran a 14 flat at 94mph - I think that's the right timing slip.

PPS - Brandon said he had put his car on scales (not sure where) and it weighed 4100#. Poor guy actually believed it, too. I didn't have a chance to pull out his Owner's Manual and show him the curb weight, but I told him, "Trust me, those scales were f**ked up! Your car weighs about 3150 or 3200#."

 

Pat,

My best was a 12.79 @ 104.

Update, I'm leaking. After making about 5 passes, I brought it home and put my rubber mat underneath. I'm leaking. Also, I pulled my ic pipe off down by the pass. fender. There was a good bit of oil in it. I put the catch can on.

 

good to see the beast in it's new form pat sounded so DOPE!

Anyway, I know you'll have a fast *** car once you have it tuned correctly!

I"m down .2 but that doesn't mean the IC isn't working It's probably have to learn it and when I come down next week I'm hoping the times will be better.

the good things about this TMIC is that the times were VERY CONSISTANT! 3 BACK TO BACK runs of the same exact ET whoa!

Jon

- sorry I couldn't stay longer... Had to take Nino/his wife and my girlfriend out for a V-Day Movie (50 first dates)

I must say that movie was ****en hilarious! go see it if you haven't already!

Jon

 

STI City, you're launches looked nice.

Jon, I hope you can see some better times and traps with that thing. Seems like it'd be a waste if it doesn't give you anything.

 

Anyone see my ****ty interview on 10pm news last night... LOL
