I went to an HX40 in 2015. Car was much faster but not as fun. I put an e3 16g back on it now.Best time 11.6@119mph full weight, 205 junk walmart douglas all season tires. Stock trans stock bottom end. Hell at that time too my clutch was slipping. Fully expect an 11.2-11.4 if I ever go back to...
If I take boost controller off all together, when it was on a 17psi spring setup it would boost to 22 and ramp up to 25+psi and still feel like it had no power.
I can get a log sometime. A/F's are in the mid 12's (on e85). I have the wastegate line ran correctly, just had the extra barb in the...
I feel like this has to be something stupid and simple, but I'm running out of ideas and patience.I put my HX40 setup on my car in April.
I never had an issue with my car on its 16g setup that ran consistent mid 11's on 23psi. Boost would creep from 23-26psi.
At that time I ran: evo3 16g, 2g...
Sorry Op for "thread jacking" but this seems like a good thread to ask the same for myself rather than making a new one.
What would people suggest for my setup?
7blade HX40 with BEP "Mitsu" .55ar housing
Stock intake manifold, stock 2g manifold.
BC 272/272 cams
Crower springs & retainers. 3g...
If I couldn't afford to spend $150-170 on a used good/known brand name FPR, I wouldn't be modding my car.
Intercoolers, piping, exhausts, etc are pretty hard to mess up and I'd run knockoffs. Something with your fuel system? No way.
honestly dont have exact measurements, wheels/tires are back home (im 3 hours away at my university).
I believe they're 225/45/17's. They're BFG KDW Drag Radials on 2gb GSX wheels. I had to stop running them though last summer because the clutch was on its way out and would more prone to...
Daily drive mine but I put it away for the winter, I do have a beater civic. Still I literally NEVER drive the civic otherwise as I have much ore fun driving the talon, but I'm not willing to fight anymore against the terrors of corrosion/rust with all the salt on our roads through winter. I...
Can I send a email now with my 3 best? I'm actually going back home (from my university) where my car is on the weekend of the 8th - and if weather permitting I'm going to try to take my car out for one last photo shoot of the year - if I take a pic or two I like more than the 3 I submit now can...
i need to get a decent video of mine. Mine is a 1g bov with the dodge mod, it straight up sounds like a tial even being recirculated. It's plenty loud
boost leak tested mine to 30psi holds solid.
best I got, need to get an outside video that'll actually represent the bov better.
Get a genuine 16g - honestly for the average person, small/big/etc 16g's are all going to be similar enough to make you happy.
In addition to what you said you already have - you'll need a FPR, the wally 255 will overrun the stock FPR, you might get away for awhile but it's really not...
advice? Stay away from chinachargers.
It's one of those things any of us has been in the scene for awhile got tired of a long time ago. I can't stress how much more it's worth to pay the $250-300 you can get a genuine good 16g for rather than getting a junk china charger to save maybe $50-100...
5 degrees is enough to warrant concern. I would try retorqueing but it sounds like you might be looking at pulling the head either way. Honestly I would lightly use some copper spray with an MLS. Never with an OEM organic gasket.
Honestly that detonation with that much boost could be enough to...
People say mixed things about the factory fuel lines - when it comes down to it I haven't seen anyone who actually had their fuel lines destroyed by e85.
My old 92 laser was on e85 in the 450-500whp ballpark for 3-4 years on stock lines without an issue, still were fine when I sold the car as well.
if the block/head are not PERFECTLY decked and matched then it could easily still be the headgasket. With your setup at that power, any imperfection will be obvious and cause such a thing.I had the same issue after installing a cometic MLS on my block that seemed to be perfectly smooth with my...
Very easily.I've been daily driving my car on E85 since I switched it over in February. Only issue I've had is my injectors gunking off I imagine because I doubt it has ever been on E85 before I put it on it, and it has cleaned out the fuel system. The last time I pulled them they were still...
1.7 on my 17" BFG 225/45/17 KDW Drag Radials.
Went back a couple weeks later on my 16" junk wal-mart all seasons and also got 1.709 as a best 60ft. The drag radials were still spinning as much as my all seasons, they are fairly worn out.
Best pass was the 1.709 60ft when I ran 11.6@119mphCar...
Stock internals have been taken up to 700whp+
For the average joe, I'd say feel safe with a solid setup and decent tune into the 500whp area.boost pressure does not correspond to what your internals can take since turbos flow vastly different, it varies. As others have said, this is an age old...
Obviously Justin is the man to listen to. However I'll chip in that anymore - you can find basic FP Greens for $400 or so now and then, and I think they're the perfect balance between the little 16g and moving up to something like a GT35R.
My FPgreen on my old laser made full boost around 3800...
This is my worry, I'm shooting for my 11.5 on my 16g friday at its 25psi, which granted I know isnt insane - but afterwards I'm dropping it down to 20psi again. I ran 11.9@116mph on 20psi, more than quick enough for my car on the street and I'd much rather have my 16g last than kill it by...
granted im on e85 but on my 16g I've found it pretty pointless past 25psi. I've ran it at 27psi and airflow was not changing, even ECMLink's power/torque estimates were not moving up much. I've ran 11.6@112 (with piping blowing apart in 4th before the finish) on it at 25psi so far, so I haven't...
I much prefer the control of a ewg. I had a lot of creep issues on my internal gate, switching to my tial helped a lot. I've ran 11.6 on my 16g and car has been great like this.
sounds identical to my issue when I did a fresh headgasket on my old ~450-500whp laser. Had the head surfaced but not the block, just cleaned it rigorously. Seemed perfectly smooth. Put a new MLS on. Didn't overheat or anything, held pressure good - however the MLS did not want to seal perfectly...
Well last week I decided I needed to burn through my full tank of e85 I still had, so I went on a nice long cruise through the country and made a few stops to take some pictures. Wish I had a better camera, my phone is all I have so it leaves a lot to be desired.She's not mint but she isn't...
nice, grats.
I've been considering trying to go for the 10 sec milestone on my 16g, though I worry I'd have to change too much of my setup to do so. Still on stock 6bolt, 2g maf, 2g mani, stock o2, - no porting. Then I definitely can't afford slicks right now. Running some BFG Drag Radials and...
best of 11.6@112mph with blowing apart my intercooler piping in 4th. Then my only other run I got in apparently their timers were off so who knows what it actually ran. Optimstically I'd like to think maybe 11.4@120mph.
So I finally scored a set of wheels, and tires too!Buddy cut me a deal on his 2gb GSX wheels with BFG Drag Radials on them. Now I should get enough traction tomorrow night to break something!Car looks a lot better too now.
Made it back home May 9th. My goal was to finally tear into the car to do the headgasket, fresh timing, fix more wiring, and some other maintenance to have it ready for the track May 23rd. I wasn't going to work on it til the next weekend, but luckily Sunday night on May 11th I got bit by a...
When my Spring break rolled around, rather than going on a vacation or just relaxing I spent the entire week working on the car. Re-doing more wiring, all new brakes, lots of new gaskets/seals to fix various leaks the car had, and swapping the 2g mani and tial wastegate on.Some general...
My goal for this car has always been keeping it simple but respectable.If there's one pet peeve of mine - it's all the people who think you need to dump 10k into a car to get past the 13's.
I go to the track and see evos/dsm's running GT35rs/HX40s/and other big turbos with built motors / built...
Your car sounds perfectly set up for e85. The 20g will do best for you for spool.I have my car on e85. Stock 6bolt, stock trans, 950cc injectors, hks fpr, walbro 255s, stock 2g MAF setup with DSMLink v2. I just have a plain 16g and at only 20psi my car has ran 11.9@116mph. The 20g on e85 with...
Went to an event at a local track if you can call it a track. Pretty much just a paved strip and that's it. Narrow, no prep of any kind. very little safety. Almost no rules besides needing a helmet. No timers. Just arm drops and a guy at the end to signal the winner. It's pretty much about as...
friend who sold me my first awd talon back in 09 did something similar for the hole in the radio bezel, looked great. I have the hole now with my car and would like to do the same thing.
Can you shoot me the price on the replacement disks as well for the 7.25? I don't need them currently as my twin disc isn't in my car yet and is still pretty much new but would like to have the price in mind for when/if I end up needing them as I usually do buy through STM (i do it for the...
Puh-leeze.I've had an FPGreen on a past car and it's a great turbo, but the 16g is no slouch at all and there's no reason for him to get a bigger turbo.
I'm currently on a plain 16g on a stock motor with bc 272s also and my car has ran 11.9@116mph. Half ass street tuned myself. I'm only on...
So I've found some useful information with searches, but nothing exactly what I'm looking for.I have a friend offering me a deal on his quartermaster twin disc that is basically new. Basically I can't pass it up to put it lightly. It's either going into my car or sitting on the shelf until I...
im running E85 on FIC 950s and a wally 255 on my 16g @ 20-22psi. Stock 6 bolt/stock trans. Car runs 11.9@116mph like this so far. Duty cycle for me is only at about 75%
