1/4 mile times
Hi all,
Ive a 93 wrx with fmic,20g, 550cc inj. simtek, fuel pump, gtspec headers etc. My santa pod times are all around 13.2 or 13.3 should my times be better? I give it full board lauches holding revs to 5500rpm then lauching.
Ive put the info of one of my runs below for info.
1.892 - 60 ft
5.493 - 330 ft
8.470 - 1/8 et
81.38 - mph
10.968 - 1000' et
13.205 - 1/4 et
102.40 - 1/4 mph
I did have a small blowout at the gasket of the header side of my up pipe so not sure if that would affect it much?
all info is appreciated.

i just did a 1/4 mile in my 1997 uk turbo running 20g and fmic autronic ecu fuel pump 550cc injectors and got 12.96 best run usually about 13.1 so you seem dead on too me mate.
taking the launch control off next time apparently that should reduce times woohoo

with only 200 at the wheels i ran 13.63 at 104.95
When i go next it'll either be 280 or 290atw so im hoping for resonable 12's so i'd say you should be getting a bit quicker than that.

You could try flat shifting between 1st and 2nd........
I managed to get my p.b down to 11.9 using this method and side stepping the clutch.......dccd set to just before orange light ..

Sounds like a problem with technique. I've never taken my Scoob quarter miling, but I'd be gutted to get a 13.xx. To put it into perspective, my best run at the Pod in my old turbocharged Clio 16v - so front wheel drive remember - was:
60ft - 2.298
330ft - 5.900
1/8ET - 8.779
1.8MPH - 84.71
1000ft ET 11.196
1/4ET 13.359
1/4MPH 107.36
Perhaps not quite what you wanted to hear, but that was running at around 230bhp, admittedly at around 950kg but still, I could never get the 60ft out of the 2 second bracket. I always reckoned the launch was what made the time, simple as that. Get the launch spot on and the times will come tumbling.

cheers everyone for the help and info.
Since those times ive now got the uppipe gasket replaced and it seems fine now and ive also fitted a P1box and diff for the extra strength.
Ive seen alot of lightwieght pullys about recently do they make ny real difference to acceleration?

Already been said. Don't hold the throttle at 5.5k, bring it up and blip the throttle. Then dump the clutch and away you go.
I've got launch control, it's called my right foot.

my 93 wrx...andyf 20g...550s...apexi boost and ecu....similar spec to you!
11.9 was my best time with a 1.8 60ft.
agree with micky...my launch control is me right foot too...
do a few runs that ya comfortable with then do a flat out launch mate...you win some or ya loose some....

You win some, you lose some. I won both of them.
Practise staging, traffic lights may help; and if you're wanting to beat someone, go on yellow. By the time you dump the clutch it'll be green.

ask your mapper to increase the revs on the launch control, had to test a few settings on mine.
Sorted it for the road tyres, but as had to raise it to 6000rpm when we fitted the 888's.

Again, this is general advice, and may not suit the 4wd system very well, but the most efficient launch tends to be with a little bit of chirp from the tyres - i.e. a tiny bit of wheelspin momentarily then you dig in and go. I.e. err on the side of a high rev launch/wheelspin rather than low revs/bogging down.

And i thought my times wernt bad even with a 60ft time of 1.89.
with a 60ft time of 1.89 i didnt think i could improve that much
