Last night we were finally able to break away from our busy shop schedule and get our TopSpeed Motorsports 2011 Project Sti to the drag strip. Even with less then ideal track conditions we came away with some runs. Making this the fastest 2011 STi that I know of. Our main goal all along with this TopSpeed Project has been to follow the K.I.S.S principal. Keep It Simple Stupid. No exotic ported heads, sleeved blocks, JDM cams.... etc. We wanted to build this one around a very mild well behaved setup. One that doesn't break the bank so to speak, but lays down exotic car numbers. Hard to argue with numbers like this that we have exceeded our goal. TopSpeed has done the following mods: TSM SS1 shortblock Invidia EQL race header Invidia catted downpipe Invidia catback Blouch Dom1.5 (10cm) ID1000cc Walbro 390 Inlet hose Cobb APv2 TopSpeed E85 Tune TSM Cai What we feel is even more impressive about this run is the fact the car is still on the OEM STOCK TMIC, stock heads, cams, and intake manifold w/tgv. For those video BUFFS :banana: http://youtu.be/s4BYd86SEsE Boost for all the drag passes was limited to 24-25psi at redline do to the TMIC intercooler not being able to support the CFM needed and currently the car makes 443whp and 486tq. With track temps around 55f last night traction was a big issues. I actually on one run got a 1.63 sixty foot but then spun hard going into third down the track. I really feel this car has a 10 pass in it with better conditions and surely one with a larger TMIC. Here is the timeslip Thanks, Doug TopSpeed Motorsports
I imagine they wouldn't. Good going still. With a cool IC and 70's temps that car has 10's. Are you guys planning on changing the IC or keeping it as is?
Whats the highest mileage SS1 block you know of right now? My money trigger finger is very itchy right now hnoes:
30-40k... but it really all depends on how good of care and if you let the car warm up. The worst thing possible for a forged piston subaru motor is to start it up bone cold and start driving. I always let me car warm up atleast before driving it.
Thanks....that's the only thing keeping me from pulling the trigger. I drive waaaaaay too much for that mileage.
Yo Grand Mamma drivin that thing or something! You need to get Cool____ to drive that thing for ya! He might turn some better times.
Been driving the car around on 93oct for the last few weeks.. Nothing new done to the car, since I am still unsure if I am going to keep it.
