there were 2 at elvington and dont suppose they were that impressive, but heat soak took all the power, i ran a 13.1 and missed 3rd gear with a 1.71 60ft time which were consistent with all my 4 runs but believe me when the temps are normal no other out of the box scoob will get near it
According to my secs monitor the intake temp only came down as low as 47 degrees but was mostly in the mid to high 50s and with the ecutek running everything gets backed down considrably after 35 degrees.
Besides the type 25 isnt just a straight liner it goes round bends like no other impreza.
I for one am over the moon with it and also with dealing with Iain and wont be changing it for a very long time

Ian Litchfield's 25 did a 13.3
Also 136.5 against the two Type 25's 142-143 at the end of the 1.25 mile...
Not that much in it really, maybe not even a cars length in the 1/4..
I ran a 13.04 last year with the same car but got better starts...
Mmmmm
Just as a note the if the WR1 really does hit 100 in 11.3 seconds it would have been well infront... i I mean a long way... err judging by the type 25 ... errrr i don't think so.
I want some of those 16 extra BHP's they put in the WR1. they must be different ponies...

not got a type 25 but i have a type R with the STi 2.5 lump, it totally transformed the car, the torque in higher gears is immense, MUCH more drivable, shame im having to sell it 
http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/showthread.php?t=337112
as for the 1/4 mile time, managed a 13.2 at low boost and running well under power! last month, as the engine only had a couple thousand mile on it.

Nice to see you actually read my post then dazza???
From the start line at the scoobyshootout my power was down to around 330bhp because of the retarding from the ecu but believe me if it wasnt backing down so much there would be a whole lot in it compared with your sti in fact it wouldnt even get a look in
