5 speed quarter time
After installing a new ACT pressure plate in the SVX five speed and using a Gtech Pro and with a less than extreme launch we recorded a 15.33 quarter mile time at 93 MPH. I have no idea how accurate these things are but the time was about what I expected. I figure if I wanted to thrash it a bit harder, I might get it into the 14's. The engine is completely stock, 132K.

Brian-Did you run times on the car(or other SVX) with the 4EAT? I had a G-tech and my aggregate 1/4 mile time was 15.34, before the nitrous of course. My car hesitates pretty good from a standing stop. Just thought you might want some numbers to compare with. Keep up the good work.

That was with an upgrades catback and a K&N airfilter. Thats a respectable time on a Gtech. Ill take mine to the track when I get it back from you and let you know what I get here (as is stock) and then with our upgrades we offer. Also with and w/o a ZEX nitrous kit.

Did the ACT clutch set-up elliminate any clutch slipage on a hard launch? I'd like to know if it did, so I'll know if I should invest in one. Thanks,

The stock Impreza clutch was not able to hold the torque of the SVX engine, the ACT clutch does admirably. As far as eliminating slippage on a hard launch, my thought is that if you stomp the throttle hard enough and let out the clutch fast enough and the road is dry, somethings gotta give and I really don't want to find out if the clutch is stronger than the next weakest component since I fear what part that might be. |
