WRX vs VR4

Well I havent really raced anyone in a while, not that I don't want to I just don't see a point most of the time because already know what I can do as I've been past the stage of mashing the gas 24/7..anyways before I even get into the race I'll let you guys know what I've got done so far:
-Full TBE
-Headers
-TurboXS UTEC (engine management)
-up-pipe

vs VR4 (TBE and up-pipe)

Well I'm coming home from work last night, feeling the nice cool air flow through the car, and come to a stop light a few blocks from my house. It's silent out and I could definately hear a nice exhaust tone coming in quick, and to my surprise I notice its a 3000gt. I was pretty impressed as here in Canada the 3000gt's are extremely rare. I wanted to see how bad I could smoke the slouches (thought it was an SL :nono: ).

So the other light turns yellow and I get ready to launch....rev her up to about 5200 and light goes green, i can hear the car spooling like mad wanting to unleash its power onto the pavement via all 4 tires then BAM!!!!! I fuckin rocket out of the whole and shift into 2nd instantly and then i hear it.....fuckin HKS SSQV and im like omfg its a vr4!

I look over to my right and he's right with me, fucking AWD launch too! My heart is beating like a freight train, this is gonna be the best race I've ever had so far I thought to myself. Note this is the first time I've raced with my newly tuned car and I'm shitting my pants not knowing i easily gained like 30whp from it. Shift at 6800 rpm PSSSSSSST, damn havent heard my bov like that in a while (usually shift with no boost), and we're off to the races in third.

At this time he's actually at about the passenger side door, and I know the VR4's pull like mad in third gear so I just keep it to the floor and pray I can keep on him, PSSSSSSSSST fourth gear, jesus christ we're going fast, but I'm keeping the same distance on it and I finally let off at 210 km/h and we havent moved an inch..........

I follow him into the gas station to give my baby some 94 octane for a job well done, I nearly shit my pants when I talk to this guy and have a seat in his hot ass car. He gives me a huge hand shake and congrats ......best night of my life!!

i'd love to hear more story's from you, cause i was really into that one. nice kill!!

i didnt even know you had a wrx, were's the pics?

and quit being a stranger :tongue:

:iagree:

You need to get into some races more often. Very well done.

yeh nice write up dude, good race too

Nice kill! Get the bigger injectors and fuel pump in quick!!

fuckin HKS SSQV and im like omfg its a vr4!
Laughed my ass off at that part :grinyes:

well written, err typed but good kill. Vr4's ain't they like 12.9 bone stock?

I think they are more like mid 13s stock

Thanks for the compliments guys, I usually just browse AF but now that I had this race I'll be back for more! :grinyes: When we talked at the gas station we pretty much had the same times, high 12s /low 13s so its a damn even race! I'll get some pics of my car when i upload them all on my site!

hmmmm i don't see a wrx with a stock turbo touching low 13's high 12's. not enough power to do that. with the stock turbo maxed it makes like 10whp less then a bone stock evo. hmmm yeah so low 13's is possible ( with a perfect driver ) but high 12's, nope.

I got pulled on by a WRX back when I had my SRT-4. The guy said he had a bunch of Cobb stuff...no nitrous...stock turbo. Considering parasitic drivetrain loss and all that, he would have to be into the 12's to be able to pull an SRT-4 w/stage 2 and exhaust from a 70mph roll. That Neon was easily a low 13 second car and likely into the 12's with better tires and a better driver.

Who's to say how long that little turbo will last, but apparently high 12's can be had with it.

quit interesting. i either underestimated that turbo, or hes not telling the whole truth. well only the true wrx guys would know. anyone?

i know for a fact a P n Ped stock wrx tubro will handle mid/low 12s stock one everything it can handle, I can handle 13.0 right now, and the vr4 a 13.1? all i know it was a really close n crazy race and Im definately pushing my stock turbo to the max as it is, upgraind turbo is obviously my next step

very awesome race, yeah post more.

You've written this story very simple but yet so very effective. very nicely written.

My buddys dad has a VR4 and it is indeed a nice sound that comes off that motor. But a stock VR4 that doenst race much does get alot of clutch wear when it's raced by the son of the owner. :icon16:

I can't stand that smell when it keeps hanging around the parking lot.

great kill.. boost joonz jew.. sounds like a cool race its always nice to run into a vr4..

You wouldn't happen to be apart of Vitalomotion as well?

as a matter of fact I am...do I know you?

most likely not...haven't been on the boards much. I just saw that you were from Kitchener and some of those cars looked familiar.

are you apart of LAC?

awwwwww sheaaat, w-siiiiide!

are you apart of LAC?
Kinda. My brother is though, he is the one with the 2003 Eclipse that has the Razzi kit.

13T turbo in a wrx, I would sincerely believe they are capable of 12s...being that they are one of the currently hot 'upgraded' turbos for the vr4...granted we take 2 of them, but they are good turbos, and I wouldn't doubt 12s at all.

Good kill. And your car is lookin' sweet. Very clean, I like it.

Thats a sweet race man well done!

Yes the turbo is VERY tiny, still I have seen it run mid/high 12s with a bunch of supporting mods. My next step is bigger turbo + fmic......should be low 12s

yeyhhhh london

Guywithacar, what part of london?

near adilade and oxford

Teh Sooby looks groovy :thumbsup:
