S15 SR T28/GT28R550cc injectorsO2 pipe and 3' DownpipeECU burn to remove boost cut/speed cut/rev cut and adjust for injectors and mafs18-21psi (don't run 21psi on this turbo regularly, as you will toast it, but occasionally is fine)Dyno tune w/SAFC to fine tune fuel curveGood driver, because if that WRX comes off the line well you're gonna have some work to do catching up.

A stock WRX??? You have enough to beat him with what you have. Stock WRX's are only rated at 227 crank HP and they weigh a good bit more than a 240. The mods Float posted would be good if you were racing an STi. But stock WRX's are a joke.

That would take an STi..My T3 setup takes down STis and I don't think it would even be as powerful as what you posted.. (did it with only 17psi of boost on a super-60 and no dyno tuning)

WRX aren't that fast once they are rolling, a stock SR can take a WRX out so I'd guess that CA with an SR turbo and 10psi of boost should be able to do it as well.From a dig your only disadvantage is the instant grip those cars have, once they start rolling they aren't all that fast so you'd quickly overtake him..

I also own a Spec-V, and my buddy with the STi that I raced used to own a WRX, from 120-160km/h he couldn't pull away from my Sentra, and it only has 175hp and weighs more than a 240sx.

Yea, I'm retarded. Somehow I read wrx and thought STi, don't ask me why.

A stock WRX shouldn't be an issue to beat with your current mods.

Never seen a WRX that was much of a challenge. Hell, I bet even an SR20 could smoke one.
