1/4 mile time 05 sti
 

Hey guys just got back from kwinana and had 1 pretty good run with the new cold air intake and then after that couldnt do it again or get quicker....i got 13.058 and after that non stop 13.2 13.4 the colder the night got the worser times...i think it could be from the aps cold air intake that i just got put on was cold for one run and then after that too much hot air getting to it ...seems that my launches are alot better with constant 1.8's now but times are getting slower after adding the aps.

So best i achieved was 13.058@164kmh but couldnt do it again or come close from it always .2 off....previous best time with normal stock air box intake was 13.1 all day on a hot night.

what use think??? much appreciated

A tune with the aps CAI would better your times overall compared to the box.

Would it be better if i had a K&N panel in the stock box over the CAI...?

yes it would be better. thats what your car is tuned for.

[QUOTE=mr_psi]yes it would be better. thats what your car is tuned for.[/QUOTE]

Car hasnt been tuned at all ...just put TBE and CAI Without tuning.

In order to take [B]full[/B] advantage of any mod your car needs to be tuned. Otherwise it can be a costly exercise. That is why many of the members have all their mods put on at once and then have it tuned accordingly. = happy days :D

is that the only mod you have done? If so its a good time and will probably not go any quicker

Yeah! As Pete said, thats a good time for a stock car with just TBE and Intake...

Save your $$$s and get yourself a tune for the mods and you'll be straight into the 12s!

boost solenoid + tune? Maybe fuel pump?

I was getting constant 13.1's when I had TBE & intake done, so your times are about right. The only reason I can think of that caused slower times is maybe your shift timing, if your taking it to redline try shifting earlier.

Thanks for the info guys...

I really wanna crack that 12 before i get a tune...but i dont know if im gonna keep the aps on any longer.

Shifting last night was really quick....alot faster than my first run but just couldnt crack into 12's was getting slower times, which i found funny :S.

do use guys stay in 4th end track or hit 5th before the line?

Huh? As said in this thread multiple times already, your times aren't bad for the mods you've done. There's a good chance you wont get it much faster (consistantly) as it is.

Go get a tune, it'll make the most of the mods you've done, and most likely put you into the 12sec zone.

Also make sure your not over/under fueling. Does that not worry you? You have a very expensive car so whats $1000?

Yeah i think i most likely will just get the tune before going again...but might just get it tuned to the K&N Panel filter rather than the aps Cai.

What sort of times will i be looking at with a tune? on them mods.

In regards to fueling the car, are the fuel pumps different in STi 's compared to WRX??

Depending on the answer fuel pump upgrade may be in order too.

What RPM's were you shifting at? When I had the VF35 still on I always shifted into 5th as the VF35 has useless top end. Next time you go down try shifting gears at different RPM's each run (ie one run shifting @ redline, one @6500RPM, one @6000rpm etc).

Thanks for the info dude...i think ill be down there next week to try out the K&N Panel filter if its not hot.

I was shifting around about redline and then tried before redline so it wouldnt bounce off the red line....i set the shift light at about 6500rpm so i would know to change at that exact time so it wouldnt bounce and slow my times down....do you usualy ride the cluth a bit while changing gears so you dont get hops or do you just change really quick and get that hop between gears?

[QUOTE=Serbaru]....do you usualy ride the cluth a bit while changing gears so you dont get hops or do you just change really quick and get that hop between gears?[/QUOTE]

I wouldn't be flat changing, but I wouldn't be riding the clutch either.

Have you fitted a rear sub-frame lock kit yet?

Hey mate...nah i havnt aye.

whats the purpose for it?

It tightens the rear end, stops the diff "banging" on hard launches/firm gearchanges.
reduces the movement between the diff and the crossmember, and also between the crossmember and the body.

i read up about it...is it like mainly for race use and what not, says not recommended for daily use.

So all you have is a pod right? no exhaust or anything?

How were you planning to get a tune for the pod, or K & N filter if you dont have any form of aftermarket ecu?

Not trying to be smart, just its not making a-lot of sense.. : ) (I have an 05 sti as well, got 13.5 dead stock, 13.1 is a fast time)

Also note that modding the new age subarus without ecu changes generally will slow it down, or worse, possibly cause some damage.

Be careful dude.

03 STI TBE k&n panel filter fuel pump tune 260hp@ the hubs 12.58
so with a tune thats what you wopuld expect

Do you rev the tits off it or short shift? Wicked time.

Crap thats fast! Get ready to tune my car Sean! Feb 2nd. haha

I think i change around 7000rpm mark maybe a tad earlier carly done a 13.0 in it but she is gentle on the shifts shows how much time can be lost in gear changes coz her launch was good

[QUOTE=RUSSGT]Crap thats fast! Get ready to tune my car Sean! Feb 2nd. haha[/QUOTE]
Ha Ha i am always ready as long as it isn't hot like today ....

[QUOTE=gtr_eta]Ha Ha i am always ready as long as it isn't hot like today ....[/QUOTE]


yeah that dyno room would be a like a sauna today.

Quit for the day dyno room hit 54 after several power runs this morning ...
No point trying to tune these cars...

fark crazy temps

stuff that. so how long will it be before waynes there drinking beer?

He has been and gone too hot for even the onlookers ha ha

[QUOTE=gtr_eta]He has been and gone too hot for even the onlookers ha ha[/QUOTE]


haha. when its a little cooler ill come down and say hi. its been a while since i have been that way.

How long are you leaving it between runs?

I'd suggest parking up for longer with the bonnet up and maybe even some ice packs on the intercooler and intake pipe. Let everything cool right down.

Everyone wants to get as many runs in as possible, but whats the point (apart from practising shifting) if your going slower?

Wasn't wed the hottest overnight min of the summer so far? The cast alloy of the APS intake is definately going to hold the heat longer than the plastic under those conditions.

Nah i have a turbo back exhaust and just the APS CAI Which wasnt the best.

Nice time as well man for stock...13.5.

Im gonna get a verso tune done very soon.

ah, ok..I need to read things more closely hehe...TBE...

13.5 is about the norm without being too agressive..I think my 60ft was around 2sec with that time. : )

Mind you, its modded now, havent been back to the drags yet..Should be good for a low 12...If I get interested enough! : )

Pete,

How long have you had the MY05 for? What happened to the bugeye?

When's the next Dambuster?

hey fffred! : )

Had the 05 sti for over a year, the bug crashed and burned man! : ) Me being silly, no injuries though but the car died..

Dambusters ey? Its been a while...they still happen but not so public these days..p-wrx so big now ; )

Can I ask what is the approx 1/4 time for a stock Bugeye STi, and roughly what would you expect it to be in same model with TBE, CAI, verso and fuel pump? I gather that is the general starting point for mods for the model (excluding suspension etc)?

Cheers
