What top speed are you all getting

 

70mph..........ive been told they will do 150 but would not advise staying that speed for long as scoobys built for low down go bang when flat out

 

105 - took me 12.4s to get there.

 

160 mph from a standard 2006 STI spec D and was still going

 

If you do aim for a top speed run - as soon as you stop accelerating, then back off. Unless of course, your car's sorted with a remap on a FMIC.

Personally, I wouldn't dare try it. If it were me, I'd positively hate myself - and would beat myself up a lot up LOL - if my bottom end or turbo died, when trying it! Simply not worth the ball ache and expense, just so that you can confirm a trivial fact to yourself.

 

Do you have any kind of knock detector on board, as well as a boost gauge in your line of sight? Must haves IMHO, if you're gonna attempt it...

 

i dont care ive hit 160 in my uk turbo could maybe of hit 170 but would need change my pants first

 

done 130 in my 05 stock wrx,

not bothered if it blew, its under warranty lol

 

sorry mines a ppp wrx

 

managed to hit around 120mph in my my93 wrx import and it cut out so im guessing it has a limiter as had my beemer doing 170mph

 

210.2mph Block and head castings were still standard

 

Yeah but you don't count. Show off

 

355 mph in a 1.5gl.could have gone faster aswell but i had my arm out of the window as i still wanted look cool to all the schoolys.

 

 

i got 160 out of my scoob with the old box on, but with this p1 box & diff. only does 150 tops.

but its alot quicker to get there , done this a number of times, and the engine & turbo still perfect.

then again, was mapped and got front mount.
boost gauge & a knock link put in. inc an oil cooler too, just in case
and change the oil regualy (10/50 pro s)

 

my mates done 165 in a 650bhp P1 , heard there was more in it , but he blew his oil pump while doing that.

 

got an uprated one of them on mine too
but mines a little lower powered than that

317bhp & 313 torque, at the moment like

 

mines wont go past 110ish , i think its maybe because its a jap import and limited ? i dunno, was a wee bit smokey aswell at that speed.

 

Had 145mph with more to go but will not be doing it again

 

Limiter in 5th, 95wrx

 

146 real speed not on clocks as they are miles out.used sat nav.
done 185 on a hayibusa as well.
97 uk classic with few mods.

 

mine was gps too. if i went off the clock, it was over 160

 

ive done 148mph in my 316bhp/316ft/lb bugeye wrx

 

ive cruised at 100 mph for miles on way to devon in my 02 sti thats been mapped so is that bad for the car ?it never missed a beat and if i needed to overtake it pulled like a train,was also 5 up with full boot,and it stopped when needed ! love it !

 

110mph, it took me a while to get there as mineses is only a 1.6gl, seriously

windyboy

PS maybe I should say "70mph officer"

 

Here is a chart when we ran at Marham this year and it will give you an idea on times of the cars. Mine is a hell of a lot faster now than it was when it ran that day

30-130 Results

 

You sure that's a P1 box fitted? I thought the P1 had longer gearing than that?

 

P1 should be the same as a UK turbo's 5th (167ish mph, limited to 155mph), 155@8k would be a type R's gearbox.

Thats what I thought as well

 

The only reason the old ones died was due to the air passing over the bonnet scoop at high speeds wasn't it? Leading the hugely large intercooler temperatures and therefore det, and bangs lol. I thought this was cured on the newages though.. with the dip in the bonnet, and the larger scoops?
