I guess I could if I ran e85, put a GT5 turbo on, and some bigass cams. Please no, I do not want that to be a challenge. I want this to be the FINAL round of power modifications to my car!!!!!

178.4mph @ 8000RPM. 189.5 @ 8500RPM I think I would want to do some downforce mods before attempting that. I do have limits for my risk tolerance. FYI most of the times I was close to death were not by my conscious choice!

Also, how do you know my approximate name? Are you on Manchat?

No. While I have MT drag radials sitting on wheels in the garage, I will not be doing a hard launch at the strip. Those drag radials are for street destruction as needed. We will see what happens with the RS3 at more boost.

I live my life a quarter mile at a time.
Nothing matters.
Not miataturbo.net and all their bull$hit. Not politics and who Scott votes for that won't be president. Not his membership and how many times He'll be banned.
In those 11 seconds or less...Min is free.

I hope to see well over 130mph. With a 4 second 60ft lol Like Sean, my goal is 13s 1/4 mile @ 150+mph

BTW scott if we go to capital or whatever together i want to line up against you and get video. I think it may look very interesting. Small "street friendly" turbo vs. "bear raping" turbo. If we launch similarly, power under the curve should show nicely.

I am fairly certain he will take you til about 4th when you'll finally blast past him going 80mph faster or something ridiculous like that.

Seen it too many times now

If I have time and if I resolve my daily driver crisis, next Saturday.

Regarding my daily, I think I will just buy another high mileage forester for around $6000 and move all my mods over and sell the one with the blown engine for $2000. I will buy a manual.

Much cheaper than $35,000 for a 335d.

Another Forester sounds like a good idea. Manual sounds even better.

Looking forward to more vids/pics.

320whp feels fantastic on mine. You've seen my plot.
370 will feel just dandy come spring and e85.

I don't intend to go any higher than that. Might as well get an STi and go for 500+ at that point, which disqualifies it from daily driver status.

I have to buy yet another turbo. What do you think i should get? Lets say 300-320hp. 16g? I dont want any more power mods than what i already have- sti ic and 3" dp and exhaust.

lopsided turbos like the hta68 need a ton of boost to perform good. also anything with a 7cm hotside crap on a 2.5 IMO.
On pump gas, with no meth, if you want a HONEST 300-320 like me why not just replicate my setup? td06 20g 8cm of your choice or td06 18g 8cm of your choice. 750-1000 injectors. the rest you already have. You can even push yours harder if you want since you have way better gas than our **** CA 91 and probably get 330-340.
on pump gas a 16g or hta68 is better suited for the 2L's

Danym that quick, downforce is diffidently a very good idea at that speed.

I know your approximate name because I happen to be very good at utilizing modern technology to get at information, public or otherwise.






I'm just kidding, I know your approx name b/c somebody else called you that on some thread or other and I happened to see it and start using it. If you'd like me to stop for whatever reason let me know and I will.


my goal is 13s 1/4 mile @ 150+mph
This makes no sense to me. The link to the GSXR 1/4 mile time I posed said it did a high 9 second pass @ 148mph. Why would your car be 3 seconds faster and have the same approx trap speed?

you mean slower?
cause he intends to spin his ***** off, like our buddy Sean running 12's at 127
also that was a semi-inside semi-joke lol.

I was thinking the ET would be faster or his trap speed would be lower. Or a combo of the two.
I'm confused, What's the inside joke that you're refering to?

a buddy of mine has a fast miata on some cheap crappy tires. he spins every gear besides 6th. ran the quarter 12.0 @ 127. Spun LITERALLY the whole way down the track. fae is a big fan of his, because he beat a liter bike and a corvette zr1 in his car. all he does is highway roll on street racing.

so fae will probably go to the track and spin his **** off to a 13.0 @ something insane like 140.

That is the , I guess joke lol
(semi-drunk post so disregard any potential errors lol)
