Tim Bailey's WRX STi
 

Current Modifications:

This STi is the PDXTuning test platform used to develop and refine all our FP turbo packages.  The addition of CP pistons makes Tim’s motor very durable and a great testing platform.  This car has been dyno tuned, drag raced, and driven on the track for more miles that have put on in regular everyday driving.  However, the fact that this car is a track beast in no way takes away from eats utility as a street car.  In fact, Tim keeps a baby seat snuggly fit in the back seat for trips to and from daycare…  Yes, this 11 second PDXTuning beast is a daily driver for Tim. 

Tim managed an 11.9 @114 in this car on pump fuel in its current configuration – approximately 390 whp @ 22 psi.  0n C16 race fuel and 30 psi Tim’s STi put down an amazing 524 whp and 510 ft pounds of torque.  Unfortunately drag racing this kind of power led to the demise of his now under-rated Exedy hyper single.  With a proper clutch this setup should be good for a mid to low 11 second run.

Goals for next year include a high 10 quarter mile time on this same turbo……  Tim is now collecting the parts for a second motor and heads…. With a little help from COBB tuning and Cosworth Tim’s gonna need a second drive train in short order.
