Hey guys, my cousin owns a STi so we were having a little fun with the two cars.

First we went from a dig. Lights turn green we both launch it, I really bogged the run so there was no way of me catching him (I noticed the STi's 1st, 2nd and 3rd pull really hard). I wish I had a 6 speed tranny . He beat me by bus lengths at that point, those cars grip and launch really hard.

Second race (Final race) was on a 2nd gear roll on, we were both doing 60 KPH so three honks and we were off, I held him off in the entire 2nd gear (side by side), 3rd came along and the STi started to walk me a little, by the time we hit forth he had about 2 cars on me. Well clearly his car makes more horsepower then mine. Then again, I am running 15 psi on a 14B with stock fuel injectors.

Pretty good when you think of it; 15psi on a 14B and you kepth up to a STI...

I would call that moment priceless.

Ghislain.

I got to run one of those last fall just after I got my fmic installed. Not sure what all he had done but had the usual lowered, exhaust, rims, etc. From a roll I was pulling on him the whole time. This was with boost set at 17, defently a fun car to play with.

Yeah The STi's 14 psi VS my 15 psi on a 14B I think I did well. My larger FMIC definitely helped me specially at top when your stock intercooler starts to heat soak. So maybe some 650cc's hell I can go with 950cc injectors (Thank you DSMLINK) and maybe turn up the boost to 18-20 psi on the little 14B until it quits lol. I think I would have beat the STi if that was done.

What kind of turbo does the STI have?

Its like VR39 or something like that, well its good enough to hold 18 psi to redline on a 2.5L.

The fact that the STi has more displacement helps a little too

And much better gearing, those 6 speeds are amazing. I need some 650's and need to boost 20 psi lol.
