What have you done to your car today?

[petrolheadjman]

Slash it isn't even his daily driver so when he does drive it, doesn't really matter how its fuel consumption is

[Guest vf20/21bg5]

yep just like my beast, fuel consumption is not a factor as its not a daily driver.

[Guest]

went and looked at it.then went home

i don't really see the point of two boost settings unless you got uncontrollable power (traction issues). I would just change to high anytime i wanted to boost or overtake anyway haha

factor.in what the boost means. Mine is 12@200kw and 20@275kw... Its been said before,for me low boost is quite simply less chance of hitting someone in the city... The car even at 200 is plenty to fast on a.close ratio box.

Fuel economy doesn't even factor

...i do like what you say bout 12psi = 200kw and 20 psi = 275kw....does that meen ill be hitting 300kw at 22psi if im already at 220kw at 11psi?

you both run diffrent turbo's itl be hard to tell.get it back on the dyno and crank it.

[CUDDAS]

^^ if you dont it'll be your rear drive train that lets you down, you should pick up that r200 set up that tony has got info on if you want to run RWD, & try crack 500rkw.

you've got the basis to work off, 300rwk should be a walk in the park that's like chipping a silvia na... i'm kidding, 'may' even surprise a few skidders out there too

[Guest]

its quite weird how a 5mt can hold 300kw but a convrted rwd box cant?i thought being rwd it would take excess pressure off the box?

[WRXONP]

Its mainly the shock that brakes stuff . . Ie clutch dropping . . .

[Guest]

tru.i thought the only weekness would be diffs and mayb a few axels.lol u cant blame them for breakin if your droping the clutch at 7000 8000rpm

i have a v5/6 5mt converted professionally to rwd, the "wrx bible" i have says tha the v5/6 5mt had a stonger casing, way more supported then the models b4 and gear strengths were hardened a differnt way too......plus none of that matters as im going "Dog box" soon anyway

im not a clutch dropper at all ...i wait till the turbo kicks in to do my damage....and to be honest you are right ,its the harshness that breaks things ...but im a smooth transitioner 8)

Trust me, the "Subaru performance handbook training WRX edition 3" by MRT performance austrailia dont say things unless its truth, as thats the reason i bought my v5/6 5mt as quoted from thr book (i can take a pic of the page where it states that if you want more info?)

[Guest]

thats not the end of it, you should read the rest!...to be honest the v5/6 wrx were the best models of all :...from what i read...the later models become to heavy in the chassis with all thr crash strengthening etc

[DRFVDR]

yup I did, it was a good read, one of the reasons my GT would scare the crap outta early STi's nothing like a pod,an exhaust and 16 psi
