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.

A
drivers seat that is so intent on holding you in place that you had
better not have a waist bigger than 31" and NEVER leave your cell phone

time you get out of the car. |
