Do I really have to answer that question for the hundredth time? Check in every reply to this post. It makes a huge difference. It proves that your calling me out on stuff, when you have no clue what you are talking about. You never experienced it, but you talk like you've been there and done that. I'm looking for auto dudes that have made similiar power and you comment like you have or know everything. You have a 14 second car that you brag about saying that you beat on it all the time and your built IPT tranny has not failed so it must be bulletproof and can handle anything. That is my point. Your claim is irrelevant as you have not reached that level. And since your such buddy buddy with John, I'm sure down the road when you do upgrade the turbo and blow the tranny you won't even post that.

As far as setup goes, you don't have the slightest clue as to what my goals are, I learned early in the game, to set something realistic and not try and do something twice.
You are early in the game..... Once again your implying that your so experienced. Did you buy a bigger turbo before the Big 16G and downgraded because you learned early in the game to set something realistic and not try to do it twice? First of all your running a Tial 40mm external gate with a Big 16G turbo.... Do I really have to get into that? My turbo inlet is bigger than your whole turbo and I was running a Tial 40mm on that. The old Tial 35mm can be used on TD06 20G's and even efficiently on Buschur's BR57 T3/T4 turbo. The newer Deltagate 38mm's are used on T3/T4 60-1's. And you have it mated to a 2.5" exhaust.... I already mentioned your 272 intake cam. It's all mismatched throughout your whole setup which is why your car isn't even making good power for a Big 16G.
98TalonTSi said:You also don't have to tell me about traction, I know too well on street tires, but I've got slicks, so the higher the RPM, the better my 60'. And do you think that 14.2@102 was with half those mods? Literally all I had was an exhaust, intake, and B16g...so a 2.3 is not that bad a 60' for FWD AT and neither is a 102.
Even with slicks a 4000 stall on a Big 16G is way too much if your car was making the right power for what you had. Which just shows me that your car is very slow as a Big 16G at around 18 psi which it should achieve by 4000 rpm would make a lot of power where traction would be very very bad even for an AWD. Go to the track today. With your mods now you'll probably see a worse time slip than when you just had an intake, exhaust, 16G, etc. It's not mated right with that turbo. The only thing that would help you if you didn't have it before is the dsmlink. The DSMLink is a great asset for an automatic as it retains timing through shifts.
98TalonTSi said:Well, since all that's going on is insults, and you're the first person to bust me for trying to always help people, now I'm really done with this thread. I'm the type of guy to ask the questions and that's how I know the answers, get it. My conversions with John go far beyond than what I'm sure you can comprehend just by your posts.

I'm telling you facts and experiences I have been through. I'm not insulting you. You called me out for what I had to say and you reply like you know everything, so I had to point out that you have no clue what you are arguing about. No related experiences to back up what you are saying. I don't mind that you help people if you have experienced something yourself or know something first hand, but you put your 2 cents in a discussion that you have no knowledge or comprehension about. You sat there and ran all over Eclipsei95 when you have less experience and a smaller setup than him. He wanted info on people running an IPT with a big turbo and you, a small turbo guy, comes in talkin' trash. So I had to call you out on that. Then you try calling me out like I don't know anything. And then you keep bringing up John again. Your DEEEP conversions with him. Get off his nuts! I know he has more experience and a hell of a lot more knowledge about auto trannies than I do. I never claimed that I was better than him in that. I was just seeking for him to prove what he was claiming. Simple as that. All I know is I personally own three 2G Eclipse Automatics- 95 GS-T (Race car), 97 GS-T Spyder daily driver, and a 95 GSX street demon and have been modding them since 1999. I have done everything you can think of to these cars. I know a lot about these cars from real experiences and I just don't appreciate a newbie, who acts like he knows all, commenting about something he has no clue about.
