I just bought a Perrin "Y" intercooler hose for my 02 wrx and I'm just wondering if will improve my quarter mile time with my new Perrin "Y" intercooler hose?

 

It should help your spool up a little. It'd be better if you got the turbo inlet hose as well.

But, I think learning how to launch and shift better (no matter how good you are, you can always improve) will help your 1/4 more then that hose.

 

Thanks Bro

 

How can you improve your launch/shifting if you have an automatic like Cohn?

 

Brake torque the ****er.

 

Gotta have a high stall torque converter. The Automatic WRX is worthless with the stock TC...

 

My brother-in-law in San Fran has a 02 auto WRX and I think it's slow.

 

it is.

my stage 1 wagon ran 16.2 at best.

after tc mod, 15.2, which is still pathetic.

 

IC (intercooler) hoses don't make a noticeable difference in ¼-mile times or trap speed. Neither do lightweight underdrive pulleys. Unless your drag racing skills get you consistent time slip numbers, you won't be able to tell the difference. The power these mods add cannot be felt by the seat of the pants unless you have one damned sensitive ***.

Not every power-adding mod results in big jumps like tuning or exhaust so there's nothing wrong with IC hoses or lightweight pulleys on the '02 through '05 WRX.

Auto wrx's are sloow, i beat one in my probe gt before :-P

 

I've been beaten by minivans that weren't trying before my TC mod. It's really pathetic.

 

Hahaha at least you look good doing it :-P

 

Are you going to Sacramento Raceway this Wednesday?

 

I was beaten by a Honda Accord V6, I wasn't really ready though.

 

I let a maxima 3.5 get me the other day from a roll.... i underestimated him & took off in a lower gear than i shoulda, i started pulling back at about 120 but it was getting dangerous so we shut down
