Well I finally got my Na-t project tuned and went out last night for some fun. My setup is a 7mge engine 9.4:1 compresssion, Ct-26 at 8psi, 7mge ECU and AFM, SAFC and LM-1 Wideband for tuning. Here is a pic of my setup.
Anyways, I left work and decided to go on a night time cruise. I ended up driving by a Mobil gas station and saw a stock WRX probably 2003 or 04 sitting pumping gas. The kid looked up when I went by. I slowed down to around 40mph and waited. I wasn't sure if he was coming or not. In a bit I saw his headlights coming up on me pretty fast. We were on a two lane road I was on the right hand side he was on the left. When he was two car lengths back I downshifted into 3rd and put around 5 car lengths on him. Then I slowed down so he could catch up, but he flew by me so I went wot again and reeled him in putting around 4 car lengths on him before shutting it down. Then we raced from a dig at a light, he got the jump on me because I spun a bit in 1st but after I got traction it was all over. I tapped my brake lights to signify that the race was over. I was surprised at how easily I took a WRX. My car in stock N/A form got absolutely raped by any WRX modded or not. Before my 1/4 mile time was 15.2 @90mph.
Next kill was against a 95 Honda Prelude that had basic mods such as intake, headers, exhaust. This race started at a light. It was two lanes. I pulled up next to him and was just minding my own business. I pulled away slowly from the light as did he. Once I was at about 30 he punched so I did the same. We were nose to nose for a second because he got the jump on me but after I got spooled up it was no contest although I was impressed with his power from a roll at 30mph. I put around 7 car lengths on him and then shut it down. All in all it was a rewarding night. I was very happy that my Na-t worked well and I didn't have any problems. For doing my first turbo conversion by myself I think it was definately worth the time and money I spent on this project. Thanks for reading. Later.
