bushbasher Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 wow thats not bad! What does the car tip the scales at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archemitis Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 yes! real numbers. so if you went that fast, at that time you should have way more hp than..... just kidding seems reasonable for a boosted subaru. everybody thinks they will have a 10 second car when they turn up the boost. was it fun?!

avatar382 Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 Hey how much boost are your running? I want to take mine to the strip too, I'm just terrified I'll grenade the tranny launching... :-\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calebz Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 . everybody thinks they will have a 10 second car when they turn up the boost. 10 seconds is about right... If you turn the boost waaaayyy up, your car will last about 10 seconds:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorganM Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 10 seconds is about right... If you turn the boost waaaayyy up, your car will last about 10 seconds:) buhahaha Good to see some real numbers. Care to elaborate on what mods you have?

mattyg41383 Posted August 27, 2004 Author Share Posted August 27, 2004 Sorry i didnt get back to this sooner, I am moving back in for college. I am running 15 psi. tips the scales at 2360 with me in it Mod List... Keep in mind Ive only spent about $150 on everything (car included) *2.5" downpipe - made it from a few pieces of truck exhaust *Dynomax Race Bullet Muffler - Jegs.com *Saab 900 intercooler with Home Depot steel piping *"Boost Controller" - put a plastic Tee in the line that goes to the wastegate, creates a boost leak so that the gate doesnt open until 15psi *Its an auto tranny as well thats about it Ran times of 14.91, 15.02, 15.03, 15.13 wednesday night Next time i get out to the track, Im gonna put a little more boost into it and hope it doesnt blow up. Its had about 15 runs with higher boost, so its held up so far -matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattyg41383 Posted August 27, 2004 Author Share Posted August 27, 2004 I'm gonna try about 18 psi next time out. It seems that I need more fuel on the top end, it pulls hard but it tends to lolligag the top end, Im thinking more fuel. Ill look into fuel pumps, regulators.

calebz Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 Its probably lolligagging because the stock turbo doesn't do anything above 13.5 psi very well.. Never heard of one going to 18. Are you still running the stocker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you still running the stocker? Yeah its the stocker, all stock internals also... If i blow it up, Ill just throw another block in it and try something else. I heard the efficiency is less than 100% at 13.5psi or something like that. Ive got a boost gauge and its showing 15 without moving around much at all. Runs strong.

mattyg41383 Posted August 27, 2004 Author Share Posted August 27, 2004 Using the horsepower estimator equation, and accounting for a ~25% loss through the auto, the engine is puttin out somewhere in the neighborhood of 180-185HP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myxalplyx Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 Hello Matt, This is really cool information. I'm excited for your bro. You are doing exactly what I wanted to do, in an automatic to boot. Congrats! I can't wait to read up on more of your results. BTW: What were your 60ft times with your runs? 2.3-2.5s? I'm hoping so because if that's the case, you could very well get in the mid to low 14's with a torque converter upgrade. Good luck bro! I'm rootin' for ya.

mattyg41383 Posted August 27, 2004 Author Share Posted August 27, 2004 you hit the nail right on the head... We called East Coast Converters about a month ago and they said they could lighten up the torque converter for a higher stall. I was planning on doing it over the winter cuase Im back in college now and dont have time to go home and mess around the shop, plus i had to pay tuition. I might get some cams done as well. as far as what i listed earlier, thats all the mods that are done to it. Well, i pulled out the passenger seat, left the back in so i can stretch out while Im waiting in the staging lanes. Also pulled out some nonessential stuff; AC, center of dash, spare tire rack, crap like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJM Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 Coolness....thats pretty cool that the XT only weighs that much...even tho its was lighten'd up some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subafreak Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 Nice! Was that FWD or AWD? And what does that thing way? I got a 14.7 with my SVX so your REAL close:brow: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archemitis Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 ya, thats damn light, my hatch weighs 2100 lbs. and its pretty much gutted. didnt see 4x or 2x? auto tranny keeps the boost all the way up throughout the run right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also: 2300 lbs sounds damn light... is your car AWD or FWD? 3AT or 4EAT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wedgy will detonate at 13 psi or so unless I retard the timing... 13psi on a VF11 is a bit different than 13-15psi on a VF7 I can run 12-13 all day long at stock 20btdc with no problems.. well , I could before the motor got tired.

mattyg41383 Posted August 30, 2004 Author Share Posted August 30, 2004 Its a FWD auto, so the boost stays up. weight = 2360lbs As i said before, some mods that i want to do over the winter would be, Torque Converter, Cams, maybe N20. If i get home at some point, Ill check what I have for timing. -well, back to class, might post later on tonight if there are more questions.
