Turns out the boost issue is/was/fingers crossed wastegate blowing open. Added a helper spring. Now BIG boost.....

Yeah, double your spring pressure is about the max you should run. Hopefully your helper spring solves the issue.

12.387 @ 116.5 splitting cylinder wall before crossing the finish line.....

It looked awesome doing it though! I was there in my wagon thats a twin of yours but NA. It was quite impressive and I really would love to do that kind of stuff to my car!

Just went up to Lebanon Valley Dragway with my dad, I took my 1993 Subaru Legacy L Sedan 5 speed FWD and he took his Ram 3500 Megacab. My best run was 17.466 seconds @ 81.23 mph. That was half a second faster than my old FWD legacy wagon. My dad's best run was like 12.1 seconds @ 115 mph with his 7,500 pound truck. Oh well, I lost every race but I had pretty good reaction times and it was fun.

^^ lol you can always say "I live my life a quarter mile at a time, and in those 17 seconds....." you get the point

I just ran my car at the track. best time was 15.3 with td04, tmic(which was heatsoaked like a mofo) 3" TBE, k&n, mbc. not bad over my best stock run which was 16.5. won all my races except vs a 10 sec. MonteCarlo haha

That truck must not be stock. I know there are chip upgrades. According to the online 1/4 mile calculators, he'd be over 800HP, but I know diesels (unless he's got the Hemi??) are torque monsters.

P.S. It's all about the fun!

It won't let me embed the video for some reason so theres the link.
No video of my Subie no one was there to film me.

Hello everyone, long time reader now posting esp since I finally have a touring wagon. I bought the car stock and have done the following with a ton of credit given to 555bcturbo and my own sponge-like interest in these cars; vf-8, usdm wrx topmount, na 5spd swap (stock na clutch/flywheel/pressure plate), eibach wrx springs, mbc, tmic waterspray, wrx seats, boost gauge, etc. Completely stock fuel system and exhaust.

At street legals last week the best I ran was a 16.079 @84.48 with a .259 R/T and a 2.235 60 foot. I got seven runs total and they ranged from 16.07 to 16.38 with mph between 83.1 and 85.77.

I hoped to be a bit quicker (who doesnt right?) but was satisfied with it considering 10psi/stock exhaust/slipping na clutch. So anyways thats my two cents.

Welcome and feel free to keep the posts coming.

Ran my car at the 1/4 today, got a best time of 13.2 at 101mph, with a 1.8 60ft.... car weighs 3382 with me in it....
I LOVE the 6MT, i can launch the car hard as shit without worrying about leaving trans parts on the start line haha

Last night I did:
2.2
6.5
10.1
13.2
ET: 15.8

100% untouched 91 SS 220,000 miles with about 200lbs of feature car parts in the trunk

^^ nice work with the 15.8 on a stock car. What was the trap speed?

I3 68 MPH
Finnished at 83 MPH

Hi there!

I have '87 L-series wagon

It has got an EJ20 w/ td04 Turbo and intercooler from a Forester.
13" wheels
4:11 ratio 5spd manual transmission

14.7@90mph @7psi

Ran my (still) stock Touring Wagon on saturday. Best run was 16.79@79.97mph, with full power-braking. I'm sure I'm loosing a 10th or 2 in the 2-3 shift which just isn't kicking as hard as it used to.

But the TD04/AWIC/3"TBE/550s/Robtube I'm piecing together should make up for it. Until the trans explodes anyways.

Made 10 runs with my TD04, Apexi Intake, 3" catless DP (open), diamond coilpack, and JDM AWIC w/'09 STS-V heat exchanger and Jabsco Cyclone pump. And a hallman pro mbc.

Best run was 15.96@83.55mph hitting fuel cut 100ft from the finish, compared to my 16.79@80mph last time. This is still on stock tune/fuel system. I'm actually faster hitting fuel cut before the finish than if I dial it out, by 0.5 seconds.

It should also be noted that my trans is shifting slower than it did on my March run. All that Auto-X is making my poor 4EAT sleepy...

Looking to to a first time 1/4 mile at pir soon any one going soon?

Ran a 15.01 last year on a vf39 ej20g cd, awic, 3inch turbo back, coil overs, ect.... This year is unknown since I work nights this summer but fmic please get me faster...

Well it wasnt a 1/4 but it was an 1/8 and my first time at the strip.
Best was a 10.7495@58.78
Got videos of every run too.
@266,915 miles
Fwd 5spd sedan LS

All stock, first time ever to the strip, best time of the night in my '93 Wagon.

16.4 at 89 mph at bandimere. That was with td04, 06 tmic 5 speed 3in tbe on 11 psi. Waiting for rob tune to show up then ill run it with same mods but td05 16g, 550s with like 16 to 17 psi. Hopefully itll be in low 15s, high 14s and id be happy.

If your car is running well now, the Rob Tune should push you close to 250 WHP, and into the 13's - Calc.

That calculator does not accommodate for altitude. Where 5280ft above sea level in Denver. 13's not likely. Lower 14's maybe.

16.4 seems a bit slow . Is this car automatic? I would think 15.5 sounds more realistic w/ your mods.

Went to bandimere last night with the rob tune installed. Ran a 14.473 @ 94.3 mph using the launch control. Really impressed with the tune.
