lightly moded MY03 sti running 13.057 quater mile?
 

Hey everyone im new to this site i own a MY03 WRX STI i have taken it to woop ass weds a few times now and am constantly running mid 13s with the best time being 13.057 from what i have read that kind of time would mean the car is heavily moded but from what i can tell the only mods are diff back exaust turbosmart bov carbon fibre boot lid and turbosmart boost gauge (boost spikes to 19 - 20 psi) and i also was using methanol in the intercooler spray tank and stripped the car right out. Would those mods match those times or are there mods that i havent yet noticed? maybe a ECU reflash?

those kinds of times sound pretty much right for your level of mods.

Go a full turbo back exhaust and retune and you should see mid-high 12s with a good launch.

Thanks for the reply whar would be a good launch i would usually hold it at about 5500 to 6000 rpm and just drop the clutch on the last orange gets the best times but the driveline must take a hiding as the smell of clutch can be smelt in the car all the way home and evan the next day.

+1 That's a pretty normal time to be honest.

thats good to know i thort i may have missed somthing when i purchased it as there was a 2009 WRX there with aftermarket exaust running around the 15.300 mark

Stock boost is 16.5 psi (1.1bar) isn't it?
Running 20psi, I'd hope she's had a reflash mate.

Yeah that's the smell of your clutch (possibly standard) one slowly frying away, not your driveline. To many of them in one night and you wont have a clutch to drive home with. (I know from experience.)

Thats because it was a WRX and you have an STi probably :)

I dont think it has had a reflash but it defantly peaks at 19 psi dosent hold it for long tho and if im in 6th gear and put my foot down it will climb to 20 psi for a few seconds then back down to about 16-17psi maybe the turbosmart gauge is out? or i have a probelm some where
