I think your mechanic may be confused. You need an AFPR. They are a great thing to have as well. You can take your tuning to a new level. Oh and a big 16g is a fairly equal turbo to a t3/04 only the 16g will spool better.
Your right we have been bashing a bit. but the fact of the matter is that the 14b can't run that much psi regardless of what other mods you do to your car. Do you have any idea how fast that thing has to spin to boost that high? I am guessing you don't have an egt because if you did you would...
Ok this sounds similar to my one friends problem. He too only had a k&n and he was getting whooped by cavaliers and stuff. Now this may sound stupid, but, check to see if the wastegate is hooked up to the actuator. If thsi happens you will only slowly boost about 4-5lbs max. Due to too much...
Ok, so maybe the gs-t has a faster 0-60 than the Gsx. But do you really care that you hit 60mph .4 secs faster than a gsx when he is 6 car lengths (Guesstimate probably exageration) ahead of you? I race my buddies 350hp Gs-t light to light and I kill him I hit about 75 80ish where we do this...
why do you have a 13g? and anyways I think that around 195ish to the wheels is fitting and probably around 235ish to the crank. you should be good for low 14's with some nice driving. Remember this is purely my guesstimate.
what is the difference between big 16g's small 16g's and evo 3 16g's and is there any visual difference? a guy I know is selling a new one for 600 canadian dollars so I thought sure why not. but I would also like to know what I am buying too.
A mechanic who does frequent dsm work told me that with the proper amount of time, energy, and coin. One could cram a stealth tt motor and drive terrain in a dsm. Now is he full of shit? If not how much time, energy and coin we talking? I realize this will not be an unbolt rip out bolt in...
everyone has seen 2 fast 2 furious and I was wondering how the F do their exhausts shoot colored flames? computer? kit? How? and where can I find this? I know its rice. But everyone must admit when cooked just right, rice can be nice.
I tried the oven magic trick and I must admit it would have worked well, but I put them in and got to playing the new ninja gaiden (which is amazing) and when I realized what that smell was it was too late.:o
oh well I am going to buy a new set right now though.
at the local track a fellow student was running the school car a 1970 AMC Hornet it had a 403 bored out to a 407 for an engine and all the little giblets. She ran 702hp on the dyno and 853lbs/ft. anywho he busted the rear diff off the launch and spun all the way. I still can't figure out why...
I just have to say I am damn proud of you for posting your car getting raped. I can really appreciate a guy who admits to getting beat and then proves it yet.:thumb:
I used to own an 87 GTA with tuned port 350 headers, 3 inch exhaust, filter, injectors, shift kit, it was a bitchin car but when I got my talon she blew the doors off in every aspect except burnouts. Get a boost controller and take him.
I pulled up at a light beside two guys in their Sunfire GT with exhaust, and the passenger yells "hey buddy you wanna race?" I looked at them kind of puzzled and the driver said "No way dude we can't race him, those things are triple turbo v-6's."Another time a civic dx thought he was the...
whenever I used to race on the highway in my trans am rwd or fwd talon when I stage I would do a nice little burn out that way you clean up the shit underneath and on the tires, plus you warm them up a bit. give it a toot. You will be suprized.
no offense but, first things first, did you actually look? If not I suggest your nearest part source, mitsu/dodge dealer, anywhere that you can go to get your oddball carparts. ie sparkplugs, lights, oil filters, they will be able to get you one. I am canadian so I use NAPA autoparts for...
what kind of gains can I expect from a factory rewired fuel pump as opposed to a normal factory fuel pump? what kind of boost could I run? My mods are all in my profile.
hey, I am going to buy reverse indiglo gauges for my car (which buy the way is a canadian version) which the gauges in in kilometers. will I have to do any recalibration to my speedo or do the numbers just line up like butter?
God dammit your right. It kills me but your right.:o as soon as he learns how to drive and the weather ripens I will have a few more little tidbits added to my puzzle codenamed "MILLA" and then I will introduce him to a little something called the liscense plate. Bamm!
a buddy of mine just purchased a spankin new STI and naturally came to me for a little race action. its was just me and some boys chillin so jokingly I said if you can beat Scott (97' chevy ext cab 5.7 vortec) then you can have at me. He toook the challenge for fun. and as I sit at the end...
seriously rice over wheat it is very easy to knock other peoples rides when you don't even have yours posted. "You can't win a fight when your hiding."
this happened to me the last time someone broke into my car. they popped the rod off of the key lock so they could unlock it then I couldn't use my key in the passenger door and the rod would sometimes jam.
boosted gsx just keep one thing in mind though when your car is done. you can burn away from this madness. and you won't have to listen to it anymore.:p And whats wrong with having a car a company rents out? All that means is the whole world thinks its so sexy they'll rent it themselves...
look at your fuses again there should be a 10 on the bottom right hand side that is for all of those lights and what not. if it ain't the fuse check the wires leading back from it. good luck.
I have a 91' Talon TSi AWD and my car will pop/miss once my boost climbs up around the 17 psi range. I know its a lac of fuel but, what I want to know is what do you guys suggest I do to stop it. ie. install ?????My mods are as follows: Custom exhaust W/O cat, FPR, manual boost...
Custom exhaust W/O cat, FPR, manual boost controller, K&N, modded air can, Oversized Valves, ported and polished, forged 9:1 JE pistons. These are my "Power Mods" and I was wondering what kind of gains can I expect from a chip?
I personally like the sound of the apexi n1 but if you want deep for cheap put 2¾" all the way back w/o cat and a backwards cherrybomb to keep the cops off of your back. thats what i did, i love the sound, it helped the hp, and it cost 225 canadian for everything includin install.$50- 2...
I think that if your timing belt slipped your valves would bend/break, and mess up your pistons at worst. I don't think your rod would break.
I blew my timing belt about 5 months ago the belt had 3500km on it (around 2000 miles) and she slipped my valves all bent and put some nice dings in my...
I have a 91 TSI AWD with Oversized valves, ported and polished, manual boost controller, ACT 2600, K&N, Modded Air Can (open), and Custom Exhaust. I was wondering how big of shot should I use. I want it to be a nice gain but not so big I hinder my cars reliability.
