A picture from the night it sheared the rear axle...
After breaking axles, a rear end, and getting rained out on previous attempts, the planets aligned Saturday. I went back to the track with my new pro level rear axle/hub setup from DSS and got my first ten second pass. I went on to run several 10.4-10.5 passes as I got used to dragging the car.
My best pass for the day was:
The car has more in it. I need to practice getting into 5th gear a lot. It's very awkward and I'm really slow at it so my 1/4 mile ET and trap are suffering.
My rear tires are spinning on the rims and the tires are spinning on the track as well so I'll need to screw them before I try to go bigger. With that done, lower tire pressure, some seat time, and then more boost, I'm confident this baby has real low 10's in it.
Some vids:
6.68/10.48 pass (in car):

6.9/10.7 pass. It was early in the day and not a great pass but funny to see a Z06 get OWNED (out of car):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a81adXrzxFw
10.5 at 130 against a 10.6 at 127 muscle car. Awesome drag race (out of car):

Sweet run but... C'mon. A firebird  ? I wouldn't brag about that as a performance benchmark.
Seriously fast car, though.

That was remarkable to see you against what was assumingly a stock 500hp Z06 and eat it right off the line. It wasn't even a race...

What title? I had the GT35R on the stock EJ22T in my legacy running more boost than this.
Yup I'm guessing the Z06 was stock. |

I've seen those things take off in person, so it's a really good gauge of how impressive your is. You're only like 1/2 second off the former ESX door slammer the Julie Stepan use to drive. The team had it damn near the high 9's.

Thank god you didn't leave that motor in the legacy... 'cause it would have ripped apart the old chassis. I can't wait to find a nice donor shell for my motor and other bits.

| It did rip apart the chassis in 2 days. The doors wouldn't close. That's why I moved the legacy engine into the Impreza and caged it before driving it. |

The cage is being added onto. It will be a 10 point plus a few extras.
It has Brembos all around now, the wiring was cleaned up, a custom dash plate was made for the AIM Sports dash, and my fuel level, boost and EGT gauges were relocated to the HVAC control locations.
We just pulled the engine to see how it looks. As suspected the bores shifted some causing gasket transfer side to side on the head surface. I wonder how quick it would be without the leakage. Sleeves aren't in the budget for this year so it's going back together with some new head gaskets and I'll run less boost.
Some valve seats and valve seals also got hammered when the car broke axles allowing the engine to overrev momentarily (9000+ rpm). We'll rebuild the heads again, this time with valves and seals that can take some more abuse instead of using stock. Still no porting and stock cams. |

I had not looked @ this post since the 350Z track vid was posted.
All I have to say is WOW, consistent 10 second runs are nice....
The car is a monster!!!!!
I could imagine how bad the Legacy's body flex was as my low powered car's rr door dash-light reads open on high boost (for me) runs.

You're mixing up different portions of the build a little. It ran 33 psi on a 35R on a stock EJ22T longblock with no intercooler. Those are the autox pics towards the beginning.
Then I put an STi longblock in it and ran 11.4 on street tires with no intercooler.
Then we added an intercooler and DOT legal Hoosiers among other things like the DSS Stage 5 rear axle/hub setup to hold it together and it ran 10.4.

On the EJ22T with the 35R I ran 108 MON unleaded race fuel with meth injection and some big nozzles.
On the STi with the 35R and no intercooler it was E85 plus meth injection. |

You really need a dogbox in that thing. You'd be able to trap those speeds in 4th gear, AND cut time by shifting faster.

Thanks for the heads up. I had no idea. I 'll try to snag a copy.

No doubt that would shave a good amount of time at the strip. I haven't even flat shifted it on the standard box yet though. There's room to grow on the stock box.
It's an all around car so I accept the non optimal ratios at the strip and enjoy them street driving and lapping it. I still have less into this car and the whole build than the cost of the average used STi and it's enough fun as it is so I'm trying to keep it that way.

Thanks a bunch! Whenever I'm out lapping it I give rides almost the whole time if anyone is interested. |
