Agreed, with a budget set in place its the only real viable option. Im going down the path of upgraded sards, used them previously with good results but if decaps work as shown and its cost effective then its a step forward nonetheless.

330 @ 60% duty cycle = Decap ftw :)

I agree with Luca, under 50% duty cycle with 345 on decaps for me too.

Also apparently sards are more difficult to tune than decaps with verso?

is funny how there is some evo's running high 12's with just an exhaust :p

Sard's are more difficult to tune all round....even with a MoTeC its hard to tune them.

I'm running Sard 650s and Sean told me it would be tricky to get them right. They are fantastic apart from a small stumble around 2500rpm when the car isn't fully warmed up. Every tune they seem to be getting smoother and smoother, so its really a matter of spending time tuning them.

From what I'm told, decaps are much easier to tune in that regard....easier to get it right the first time.

Didnt an 02 STi do a 12.7 with filter and exhaust?

Highly doubt it.

I'm quite sure it did, was it adam's white 02 STI?

lean??

[QUOTE=Thodd]I'm quite sure it did, was it adam's white 02 STI?[/QUOTE]
Yeah thats right it was adams!

Why do you highly doubt it for i dont see it being that unreasonable. . .

my 03 sti did 13.1 stock, with only a bleed valve set at 19psi...

also low 12's is very acheivebale ...

FP Green (new) $2200?

2nd hand turbo back exhaust or cheap china $800

2nd hand Ecutek /new Verso - $500 / 900?

ecutek tune $500ish

2nd hand front mount cooler - $800

this is assuming you already have Sti Pink injectors and a walbro pump

that package is EASY low 12's.. tuned at around 1.6 bar.

You wont squeeze it in 4g - but 5 for sure

Will a 205 handle the green for long though?

[QUOTE=TopGear]is funny how there is some evo's running high 12's with just an exhaust :p[/QUOTE]

Low-mid 12's are possible from just tune and exhaust in an Evo.

But lets not go there. :)

Steve's 7 had just a cat back and filter...

Oh you said dont go there :)

Care factor = 0

I can buy a motorcycle and run a flat 10 out of the box, for half the cost of a WRX.

My car is stock too........see what it runs.

Would you have the balls to do a 10 sec run on a bike though? :)

Depends if the other half opens the jar for him to retrieve them....

Hahahahhahahahaha

[QUOTE=teejay]Depends if the other half opens the jar for him to retrieve them....[/QUOTE]

Negative.

In fact, I think my other half would have no hesitation in ripping YOUR balls off if she found out you wrote that...and you know it too :)

Whats her email address?

Printscreen FTW!
