Round 2: Bone Stock '06 WRX TR 1/4 mile times
 

Some of you might remember my first thread with the results from my initial trip back in mid March:

I went to Richmond Dragway in Sandston, VA for round 2 today! The track is ~100ft above sea level and according to the National Weather Service conditions were as follows:

Temp: 55 deg F (at time of 1st run), 60 deg F (at time of my 2nd run)
Relative Humidity: 24 %
Barometer: 30.14 in. Hg
Dewpoint: 20°F (-7°C)

My car is 100% bone stock with 6,800 miles on the odometer. I'm running a 'true' factory stock set-up (nothing from the intake, intake resonator, turbo, intercooler, exhaust, engine management, etc has been changed). I used Shell 93 octane gas (had just over a 1/4 tank) and my tire pressures were set at 40psi all around. Only weight reduction I did was remove my spare tire (left jack in the trunk). I weigh 170lbs.

I got to the track early and my engine was able to cool for 1.5 hours before my first pass. I made 2 passes and launched at 5,000rpms w/ clutch slip. I'm car #22:

Run 1 (I bogged the launch)
60ft: 2.0688
330ft: 5.8446
1/8th: 8.9866
MPH: 79.44
1/4: 13.9679
MPH: 98.53

Run 2 (decent launch)
60ft: 1.9433
330ft: 5.6327
1/8th: 8.7650
MPH: 79.31
1/4: 13.7468
MPH: 98.25

This was a cool turbo-charged twin rotary RX-7 that competed in NOPI last season and was switching to NHRA this year:

Cliff Notes: Bone stock '06 WRX TR goes 13.74@98.25 mph

isn't the new wrx 2.5 vs the old 2.0?

great times man, Ive gotta get up there soon!

Correct. 2.5L turbo rated at 230 crank hp - even though it dynos at +25whp and +30wtq over the former 2.0L WRXs.
Thanks!

wow that top mount looks alot smaller what up with that.
they bump up to 2.5 but they short change the tmic?
since its a 2.5 whats the diffrences in the 06 wrx vs the sti?

Great times again, get those 60' times down a bit and you'll be in mid 13's. Thats impressive!

Yeah, the TMIC is tiny! :rolleyes: Heat soaks pretty quickly if you get on the throttle a lot in warm temps...

Not exactly sure. The shortblock is the same, but the STI has different heads, larger TMIC, larger turbo (VF-39 vs TD04) and more boost (14.5psi vs 11.6psi).
Thanks. I paid 23K + tax & tag for my WRX TR. I'm very happy with my stock times when the only upgrade I've done are the floor mats! :lol: :lol: :lol:
