Not sure why you don't think I'll come close. If I drive the same way and only pick up 3mph on pump gas, that will put me at 12.5@109. I don't think 3mph (~30whp) is a big stretch for adding a cat-back and MBC w/MR BOV to eliminate some leaking. Adding 110unleaded will allow me to lean out more aggressively on the S-AFC (as you know) and increase boost. This should net another 2mph or so, I would hope. The problem is that I have an MBC to control my boost (raise the peak and control the taper). Your boy here claims that the STOCK, FACTORY BOOST DOES NOT DROP BELOW THE FACTORY MAX (20psi) at the top of 4th. Hell, even WITH an MBC, my boost drops slightly below 1.4bar by the time I hit redline. How could it NOT taper without an MBC when the ECU automatically controls it...and since the BOV leaks at 13psi. It makes no sense whatsoever that his boost sticks at 20psi in 4th and doesn't drop at all, when everyone else's does, unless he has modified it somehow without mentioning it.

As for the AZ guys, you can't really compare ETs. Those are just an indication of driving/traction, not of power being made., so the guy with N2O is obviously making more power (118mph), but doesn't drive so well. The other problem is that the guys in AZ show definite signs of being affected by elevation, but somehow that law of physics doesn't apply to Idaho...

 

for one my car spikes between 22-24psi on my guage and falls to 20psi by redline. so I dont know what to tell you.

Second, for the comment about the nitrous car. Just incase you didnt know, when you run nitrous it is not affected by elevation or temp. It runs the same no matter where you are. His times will get better with more seat time.

 

The nitrous portion may not be affected, but the rest is definitely affected. There are lots of guys out there in 05s with cams and all the bolt-ons who have a lot of trouble beating my times. There is no explanation other than elevation. Tuning is important, obviously, but when my only mod was an S-AFC, it's hard to justify the discrepancy in ETs and traps.

Also, you are claiming these ETs and traps on STOCK BOOST, but you are nowhere near stock boost. In fact, you are running higher boost than almost everyone who has boost control. Most people only run 20-21 on their MBC, with some choosing to do 22 on pump. You are claiming that your "stock" boost is somehow running higher than anyone else who actually has CONTROL of their boost, so it's hard to call it "stock." The only thing stock about it is you supposedly haven't added boost control (or modified the pills or restrictors).

 

They need to learn to drive then.

Also, stock boost is a relative term. I've seen "stock" boost fluctuate anywhere from 13 psi and dropping to holding over 20 at redline. The top-RPM taper doesn't seem to be as apparent in the '05's as it is in the '03's.

As far as stock boost goes, you gotta keep in mind that the engine is nothing more than an air pump. Make it more efficient (either by adding an intake and / or an exhaust) and guess what? It will run more efficiently. ie: the motor will now have an easier time holding a higher boost level. FWIW put an exhaust on any turbo car and see how it will affect the boost pressure.

Out of curiosity, where is it that you read that the '05 BOV leaks at 13 lbs? I've never heard of such a thing.

As far as driver skill is concerned, whiteevo311 is NOT new to drag racing. He has been driving FWD cars for as long as I can remember and last time I checked, it IS harder to CONSISTENTLY drive / launch a FWD than it is an Evo.
I see an awful lot of crying in this forum all because someone is a better driver than the other guy. DO NOT let your pride get the best of ya. Keep practicing and you'll get there.

 

good times...i need to get to the track.

 

I didn't read that about the BOV; I tested it myself when I pressure tested my system. I couldn't pump beyond 13psi, because it was all coming out the BOV. I had to plug the BOV intake-return-hole in order to pressurize my system to 24psi.

I think I practiced enough to "get there" as you saw in the other thread, but my point is that he's at nearly 3000' elevation, and I'm near sea level. It doesn't add up...

 

i think most in this thread are failing to realize how possible times like that are....especially considering it was done at night. In the night, on the same mods as his, with the addition of a 50hp wet shot, I ran 11.7@118mph
congrats on the nice times....11's are very close!

and also wtf did that subaru do to get a 1.6 60ft!?! that's impressive
