Not mine since my car is stock :) Easy roll on start since the one before didn't go so well, or thats what i heard.

was told this car has cobb springs, su mount, 225 tires and ap stage 2

idle off start

[mleblond]

so 6-7 seconds....thats what my car should do on sunday?

the one time the ap actually gave a read out and the owner launched the car it said 5.3

from a roll should be about a second longer which is what is shown here so if you idle off that is what you can expect yes

[Fobio]

wow...FMIC w/ new maps and the owner might break 5 sec?

on a track with the spray on stick stuff maybe... might need 235/245 tires. not sure i'd trust the ap read out vs. needing real equipment as well

[mleblond]

R-compound tires should help :)

using the "rough" calculation of an HP/0-60 calculator:

0-60 times in sec = Car weight in kg/(Max HP x 0.9)

And a theoretical weight of car w/ driver of 3350lbs or 1520 kg, and using some algebra:

Max HP = 1520kg/(5.3 sec x 0.9) = 318.66 @ flywheel

These are some generally accepted bench-racing concept, so take it with a grain of salt...but it sure looks good at this end! Esp since I may have given the driver less than his true weight... ;)

Car dynoed 274 before ap, based on 10% drivetrain loss that would be 305hp at the crank... so if ap is worth 10 that'd be about right for crank hp

[mleblond]

Niice...when is the next dyno session from the local guys in Toronto? Im surprised nobody dynoed the AP yet.


Did i say i loved my car yet? :chuckle anxious for stage 2....so close :) (less than 24hours)

i am afraid to see the result :chuckle... waiting for fmic, fmic map and 93 octane

[mleblond]

yeah 93octane maps are a must....
yeah FMIC and that inlet piece pat is gonna sell are just getting you ready for a turbo upgrade :P

Guys guys... stop spending so much money on the car. Pay the car off and buy a different car that you won't need to mod. Like GT-R or something!:chuckle:chuckle:gone

[Garu]

Anyways, I've gotten 5.7 seconds with stage2+, that was just practice run I may be able to pull off 5.5 if I flat shift.
It is really really really hard to launch this car seriously. There was a quote somewhere, 'this car is harder to launch than a rocket'.

the thoughts crossed my mind

[brecker]

This car is pinched at the balls for 0-60 times cause we need 3rd gear to hit it. Let's just imagine what the times would be if 2nd was all we needed :chuckle.

Anywoo: The beta Stage2+(L) map seems to be holding up. I did ask Christian to dial in a little more power :) Does anyone else notice that this car settles a little after resetting / flashing the ECU?

[WeatherB]

Wow, didn't know this car could actually break lose in first gear like that. And no, I don't mean dropping the clutch. :)

Wrong wheel drive.

and 2nd!! :)

[WeatherB]

and 2nd!! :)

Really? I think mine is broken.

Does it do that when stock as well?

[Garu]

Should be little bit when in stock.

[3GFX]

Wow that vid was awesome, that's incredibly fast. It just goes to show that the car need more traction. It would launch like a sucker if it was anything but front wheel drive. hehe.

Stock - sometimes, just find a slightly imperfect road that's a little dusty :chuckle

I lost grip in third a couple times in the last couple weeks by just rolling into it. For those that want power get the CP-E downpipe or a full TB !! :hawt

Heads usually turn because either the driver or the car is weird. :chuckle:chuckle

Nice! weird is good right? :loco

So what is stage 3? Upgraded turbo? Since FMIC is still considered stage 2 :whoa

Stage 3 would be getting rid of MS3 and getting an STI.
