any1 any ideas what the whistling is when he changes gear/decelerates? correct me if im wrong but, as its got anti-lag, it doesnt have a dump valve? so it the whistle some sort of anti-lag dump valve if u get me lol
@joneebee WRC cars don't run with dump/blow off valves as they would negate the effects of the Anti-Lag. The noise you can hear is caused by a reverse air flow entering the compressor section of the turbocharger.
I have an sti,i cant put in to words how cool it would be to have this car..im so curious as to what kind of time this car would run in the 1\4 mile, any ideas suggestions? Better yet..Facts?!
i know in Australia coz we hav rally .. Targa Tasmania which any1 can enter.. there are shopz .. say for $100,000 they can convert a normal Lancer Evo to a rally spec.. i know there is a shop not far from me that do rally.. it's a suspension shop.. but i waz told they were dodgy.. dont know about Subaruz but maybe at a Subaru Dealer/Factory or a supensionship that might compete in Rally's in your country
Seriously, you got an sti and don't know the basic restrictions imposed on WRC cars? google it. WRC cars are quite limited (for example, inlet restrictor), only producing around 300 BHP. That translates to semi-fast 402m times, at best, these cars are beasts when it comes to cornering and are sublimely balanced and responsive, thats their real power.
this is a car..please use this model for the wrx road version and spare us the crap of the hatch.....please please please. I have to say the Evo is becoming better looking than the subaru....
you know this was recorded a long time ago, right? The hatchback is ugly yes, but Subaru aint even in the wrc anymore, because of the economic crysis they withdraw from the rally.
Nope,It's the Turbo/Wastegate blow,In the car you have a button to press so you ALWAYS have Pressure from the Turbo , He turn the button off and the pressure ''PSSSSSSSSSSSSSSTTT!''
theyre fitted with anti lag so there is constant pressure to keep the turbo spinning, as JAEGARNT says, when he turns off the system, all excess pressure is released in one big wad
haha...wanna get that sound?send ur scoobie to the prodrive guys and tell them to modify ur engine according to the wrc spec because the stock wrx engine only share same boxer design with wrcar..but instead of "on the shelf" parts wrcar uses specialized parts all around that only available at prodrive...
sounds nice and aggresive realli i fort in this vid . but a bit of a let down 2 this years wrc was tht there was no lancer evo . are they bak for the 2008 season
well i think that person who finks subarus are blanaced wrong i must say he dusnt have a clue wot hes speakin about . i own a tommi makinen raciing ex rally spec impreza wrx sti and yes it did cost me a bomb but it was worth every penny . i dont now abut citroens and fords but from experiance of rallyin in the scottish highlands that a subaru impreza is the car for the job .. yes my car is very gud . but the world rally cars are even better in every compartment ..
Check out the discovery channel series "Engineering the World Rally". It basically documents subaru's WRC efforts for the '06 season. The subaru boys themselves were forced to admit that 1) their car is slow (well, slower than the WRC-class compettion) and 2) their car does have a high-speed handling problem.
this car is balanced wrong, the mass balance is far from good, it has tendency to understeer. Rally of Ireland showed it well. 3 Subarus went out off the road same way. Something is really not good.
Fail too see much understeer in this video, all I see is predominantly oversteer. You can't generalize the car's setup just from rally off's, those off's could be from a wide diversity of factors such as driver error, bad weather, etc..
KuostA: I mean't that this model of Subaru is generally balanced wrong, on this movie it looks maybe more oversteer, but always something was bad with mass balance. Find on youtube video called 'WRC Rally Ireland 2007 - SUBARU Highlights'. You can see what happened to: Chris Atkinson, then Xavier Pons and then to Kris Meeke. Is it coincidence they went out of the road same way? Maybe there were more factors, but I claim Ford and Citroen is balanced better.
50sec is cool, glowing brakes at 2:20 is funky... this is why i love subarus... i would give anything to be able to drive even half as good as guys like solberg.
The "hawk" noise is from disabling the anti-lag system. What they do is create a combustion in the exhaust manifold using an air-bypass valve which keeps the turbine spinning. It is loud and not the best way to prolong turbo life.
At about 48 he turns it back on, you can hear the difference.
the turbo spooling back down. the audio is a little distorted ( due to the internet) but you can hear it on most High performance turbos. check a few of the dyno vids on youtube. you'll hear the turbo actually drown out the exhaust note, when filmed from the front. same concept just more exagerated because the WRX is at idle.
Hey guys, most of u don't know what u're talking about, saing: "I want one!" who wouldn't? But!!! u have to be a millionar to own one like that. The Impreza WRC cost 600000.00 British Pound(s) = 1208946 US Dollar(s)
i have to agree! i went to the subaru world rally teams open day at banbury! got talkin to the techs and they aint cheap! £75000 for a gearbox! very nice to sit in tho!! in my element sat in one of many petters cars!! good day out!!
no really backfire most of the time. its anti-lang. little explosions in the exhaust manifold to spool the turbo thus creating none to very little lag.
Yup..glowing break disks after extensive breaking, and even more visible at night. Not too uncommon nowadays on WRC cars. This effect is also common in GT racing.
oh man, so amazing.
