Link me to your local forum :banana:

im actually from Norcal. not socal

San Jose California


hey i have a guy thats i think close to your area he has a STi from norcal its Full exhuast catless and a tune.. ill ask him where is he from, and im sure he can run your Jeep


hahaha i wouldnt be interested running your Jeep tho. but maybe your cobra would be a good run if faster than the time you ran 11.8
My bad says So Cal in your Avatar.

San Jose uh? I got family up there. I'm PCS'n from Alaska and may make a stop in San Jose to see Family on my way down to So Cal. I'll be in the Jeep tho. Having the Cobra shipped.

Let me get my tune for my 150 shot and then give me a chance....:beer:

Link to our local froum up here in Alaska.... Fairbanksforum.com

I'm not trying to take anything away from your kill, srt8 jeeps are bad ass. however, there is no way in hell your friend ran 13.1 in a 2.0 wrx with the stock turbo, unless he was on race gas with every bolt-on known to mankind. stock turbo wrx's typically run low/mid 14's, and upper 13's with full bolt-ons, at 100mph. with the vf22, he's still a low/mid 13 sec, and only if he pulls a 1.6/1.7 60ft.

anyway, your jeep should rape him just as it did in the 2nd race.
I hear ya bro. But yes with every bolt-on he did run a 13.1. I PM him on our local forum and hopefully he will chime in here.

Cheers

My car and 13.2 on stock turbo. If you are doing 13's with an STI that has bolt ons, learn how to drive. Same goes to WRX owners that can't pull better than 13.5's with full bolt ons. The car had 12's on it on the stock turbo if I could have gotten the 60 foot down but I couldn't with the stock clutch on it way out. DSS, just because you own a Subaru does not mean you know what you are talking about. A vf22 is the largest turbo IHI makes, still compared to the larger units from MHI, Garret, etc it is not a "big" turbo. It is a medium sized turbo. There have been PLENTY of owners with vf series turbos doing faster than 12.5's so I have no idea where you are pulling this "only 6 have gone 12.5 or faster." My guess is that it is coming out of your ass. I essentially have a turbo back, sti header that has been ported, cobb uppipe, 06/07 wrx injectors, 255 walbro pump, utec, avc-r boost controller, turboxs fmic and an act light weight flywheel with act heavy duty clutch. That isn't every bolt on in the world. I still have my tgv's and such. Running against the Jeep, I wasn't on straight pump gas I was on a pretty good tuned map that was tuned for 8 gallons of gas and 2 gallons of Xylene on 23-24 psi. I'm POSITIVE the car has 12.5's or faster with a better tune and we will find out when I get to VA.

Everyone else- Thanks for the nice words, I LOVE the wingless/scoopless look. They are actually Seibon carbon fiber bits that I had painted. I love how subtle it looks, even with that front lip and how aggressive the front looks. Here are some more pictures:

if you actually count how many folks that went faster than 12.5s on WRX

theres only 4 of them

all 4 of them are on 110 octane or higher race gas and ( maybe a built tranny) all suby owners know how weak wrx tranny is.

Since EVERYONE in the world posts on nasioc or the 1/4 mile registery. That is obviously out of date, just this year in AK a guy did [email protected] on a VF34. You are a typical think you know-it-all off of nasioc, go crawl back under a rock in the off topic.

look at this quote.. ( last updated 04 - 08 - 2008 )

if you read it carefully you will find that theres only handfull of people has ran 12.9 or faster on stock turbo and ( all of them are atleast on someknda race gas )

so running 13.2 w/ 1.9 60 foot and saying if you cut down the 60 foot 12.9 hahaha
its not easy as you think bro. i mean look at your trap speed 102mph i dont care if you can pull off a 1.6 60foot its still goin to be very very very very hard to hit that 12.9


I've decided to freeze updates to my old post on quick times for the stock TD04 turbo on :

http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=527449&page=2

As of today 3/14/06, I'm starting this thread for TD04 turbos with sub-13.000 second times, so it is easier to find with common search terms like "registry" etc.

List of fastest known stock turbo new Gen USDM 2 liter WRX

Rules are simple -- You must be running a USDM WRX, with the stock TD04-13T turbo on a stock internals 2.0 L engine.
You must validate your claim with a time slip, date and location of run.

Listing is ranked by ET with earliest date for identical runs ranked first.

P&P is allowed with the stock compressor wheel, but will be noted with an * entry.

Use of Nitrous must be declared. Anything else goes.
IE. WI Alcohol, high octane fuels, weight reduction etc. are all acceptable.
Please post weather conditions with your listing, and relevant mods so others know what works on the stock engine/turbo setup.

For those who can only run 1/8 mile times, conversions will be made using a conversion factor of 0.63505 or 1.57468 to convert from 1/8 <--> 1/4 mile ET's.

IE a 12.999 1/4 mile ET is equivalent to an 8.2550 ET on the 1/8 mile
.. a 13.999 1/4 mile ET is equivalent to an 8.8901 ET on the 1/8 mile


[edit 4/22/06] Timing slips that show obvious timing errors will not be accepted. They will be listed as a near miss,(probable run), if the driver can document other near 13.000 times at my discretion.

congrats that your car runs 13.2 on stock turbo 2.0 WRX so major props since its rare for 2.0 wrx on stock turbo to be that fast. i my self has ran 11.7 on stock turbo. 13.5 is no easy task for a 2.0 wrx and trust me i know. your " seems " to have a 12.9 when it was stock since your ran 13.2 w 1.9 60foot but the problem with that is the trap speed. its still goin to be very very hard to run 12.9 with your trap speed, not saying its impossible but yes its very hard

TGVs dont really make a difference on a turbo that size, and FMIC on vf22 is not ideal set up. since that turbo has plenty of lag compared to vf39 and vf43

STi headers are the same as WRX headers ( i think you ment to say ported and coated OEM headers ) which i believe im one of the first few heads that did this.

as for AVCR boost controller, its tuner preference what he likes to use to controll the boost

your other mods injectors tbe and fuel pump catless uppipe are all standard mods of a vf serious upgrade from 2.0 wrx

well really only one way to find out if you car can hit 12.5 or faster is to actually take on the track. so make sure you have this on video hahaha



here read this and you will find that VF39, VF43, Vf34, VF22 will basicly make almost the same power. with just different spool and peak and taper

IHI VF38
The VF38 is a twin-scroll that utilizes a Titanium turbine and shaft. This turbocharger yields tremendous spool-up but offers less top-end than the VF36/VF37. The spool capabilities of this turbo are demonstrated on the JDM Legacy GT, which reaches peak torque at 2400RPM.

IHI VF39
(250-325whp, Bolt-On)
This is the standard equipment turbocharger used on the USDM Subaru Impreza WRX STI. It can be found on all model years from 2004-2006. The VF39 utilizes a thrust bearing design and the P18 exhaust housing.

Though they are prone to cracking, VF39’s can be had for very cheap if bought used.

IHI VF42
This is the standard equipment turbocharger used on the JDM Subaru Impreza WRX STi S203 and S204. The VF42 features a twin-scroll design with a slightly larger compressor than the VF36/VF37 turbos and different turbine design (more blades). The VF42 is a roller-bearing turbo and is similar in size to the VF22 turbo, but the twin-scroll exhaust housing yields faster spool-up and a superior top-end.

IHI VF43
(250-325whp, Bolt-On)
This is the standard equipment turbocharger used on the MY07 USDM Subaru Impreza WRX STI. It can be found on both base STI's and STI Limited's. The VF43 utilizes a thrust bearing design and the P18 exhaust housing. The primary difference between the VF43 and the VF39 used previously on STI's seems to be the stiffness of the wastegate. The VF43 has a stiffer wastegate designed to reduce boost creep issues. Info

I have indeed seen that and I know that the vf22 flows the most out of the ihi turbos due to the p20 exhaust housing, mine is also ported on the exhaust side and wastegate. I'm probably over 500 cfm on the 23-24 psi map and the avc-r held more peak boost than the utec's ABC did, plus I like being able to have 2 different boost maps. My trap was so low at the track and my 60 foot was so bad because my clutch was on its way out. I'm pretty sure that with the clutch/flywheel I have in it now that I would have touched 12's on the stock turbo. The tgv's free up more power on bigger turbos for sure but on a stock turbo they say you can expect 15-20 whp and about the same torque so with an upgraded turbo you'll see more gains. I also have a meth kit and such that I need to install and get tuned for, so hopefully once I hit VA I can get all of my little stuff put on, tuned and get to the track. I think it would be awesome to run low 12's on a full street trim wrx w/ a vf22 but I'd be happy with 12.5 or faster. On the header, I meant STI header. I had a borla on the car and it cracked a few weeks ago so I switched to a ported STI header that I got for free. I'm also in need of leaning out my afr on my xylene map because I'm in the high 10's right now and PDX suggests low to mid 12's on the mixture I use.
