Hi everyone was wondering what kind of 100-200 kmph times everyone is getting would be helpful if you say what the car is with what mod and aproximate bhp and also how you have measured the 100-200 (dragy,vbox record speedo then time it etc)

I have a blobeye sti with around 400 ish bhp (gtx2971r, fmic, rcm intake, decat and a few other things.

My verfied draggy 100-200 kmph time is about 10.8 seconds incline -0.5.

Really just want to see how I stack up agaisnt other subarus and if my time is ok.

Thanks

I tried once last year with my classic Type R, 2.1 stroker with avcs heads and a Spec C 6 speed, MD321T. 100-200 9.38s measured with Dragy, 4th and 5th. Quite a slow shift to 5th, still not 100% natural shifting a rhd car in a lhd country, 100-150 was 3.17s so there's some potential to improve the 100-200 time. Various issues with the car so I haven't been able to get more than roughly 360 bhp on 98 octane (310-315 hp at the hubs).

Have a look at the leaderboard in the dragy app, there are some Subarus there.

To be honest I don't care that much about the acceleration figures, it's not the best car for that. It would be faster in this interval with a Hawkeye 6 speed as well, should make 200 km/h in 4th I think.

Thats a damn impressive time still mate. Thanks for the response

The weight of a classic sure helps performance, no need for monster power really

No problem

does my 150-200 time look a bit slow because my 5th gear feels quite a bit weaker than 4th

If your car is a UK version it has the longer 5th and 6th right? That would explain it, the JDM gearing is shorter in 5th and 6th so the revs don't drop as much.

I don't have any experience of newage cars but perhaps I would expect a slightly better time for a true 400 bhp? But it depends on the weight, gearing and aerodynamics too. With the long 5th you may drop out of the power band slightly.

As a comparison, 13 years ago I had a Saab 900 turbo, with the 325 hp it made 100-200 in 10.8s, later with 421 hp on E85 it managed 100-200 in 9.4s (100-150 in 3.7s so this is where the Subaru shines, long 3rd gear on the Saab 170-180 ish). These were Racelogic times though.

thanks mate the car is a uk version and i believe the top speed in 4th gear at 7000 rpm is about 98mph and 130 ish in 5th at 7000 rpm point taken ill try lose some weight and try again newages have a kerb weight of about 1470kg so ill try take this down a little


As for the revs they dont seem to drop a great deal changing to 5th the revs drop to around 5500 or there abouts I wasnt really looking ill look closer next time.

Haven’t timed anything but noticed my car was faster in 5th than in 4th???
My mapper found out that the NPS was engaging under full boost but only in 3rd and 4th so retarding itself and slowing it down. Told me it was quite common in the Impreza

Akram124

Hi sorry im a bit of a noob could you tell me what the NPS is? Seems like the issue we have is simillar as mine is quicker in 4th but slower in 5th and I can understand higher speeds needing more power as more drag to overcome but when I look at the draggy leadboards for simillar subarus my 100-150 time is better than most who do a 100-200 in 9-10 seconds of course cant compare like for like but surely I should be in the low 10s or high 9s at least?

It does look like you lose even more time than me on your shift to 5th so there's some improvement there.

Akram124

100% not sure what happened there must have fallen asleep going to give it another go hopefully

Akram124

updated time but had a passenger probably a bit of a better time in there with some weight reduction and a better driver but I am greedy so still feel like the time should be better any thoughts?

That's much better and having a passenger ruins performance so a mid to high 9s time should be possible.
