You will beat him if your car is running good, no boost leaks, not too much boost creep, and a good clutch. Lol, that Impala looks like a suspect car. I hope he likes cops pulling him over and trying to search all the time.

What 1/4 mile time should I expect with my set up?

Evo 3 16g (20 psi)
Denso rewired 150 lph fuel pump
Denso 660cc injectors
Xtd stage 4 four puck unsprung clutch
Jackel Speed Density (untuned till wbo2, just injc dialed in and antilag)
Stock sidemount with ghetto sprayer
2g throttle body elbow
3inch downpipe and full catback
2g manifold+PR o2 dump
Street tires

Im not a huge bench racer but I saw this thead and decided why not? Its legal here LOL.

Also a horse power guestimate would be nice as well.

Thanks.

So my brother bought a 96 impala ss, its a 5.7L LT1, 4 Speed automatic, and it weights around 4,221 lb. flow masters, and racing rims and tires is all he has on it. wiki says it makes around 260 horsepower.

he is always making fun of my eclipse, and i think if i beat him in a drag race, he would stop.

my eclipse is almost stock. s16g, 3"exhaust.

do you guys think al win!!!

her is a video of his impala on youtube.
YouTube - ‪My 1996 chevy Impala SS LT1‬‏

If he has 4.10 gears, unrestricted exhaust and sticky tires than your car would lose pretty bad, my old 1996 Lt1 Trans Am with 4.10 gears, cc503 cammed, exhaust, intake, tunned LT1 pulled on ls2 gtos by at least a car length.

If he is all stock than you would jump him off the line and he would catch up but your car would be at least one car ahead of him by the 1/4 mile mark.

i have recently converted my 93 tsi to a 6bolt from my 90 laser rs. i have the following mods, 16g 15 psi bleeding to 19(porting coming soon so solve that issue). rc 550, walbro 255, front mount, fpr set at 43 psi, ported 1g intake mani, tubular exhaust mani, and 3 inch turbo back, with high flow cat. i am tuning with a safcII and AEM wideband. i know i need a logger, but cash is tight. i am keeping A/F in the mid to high 10s to keep it safe. we do not have an awd dyno anywhere close to my town, 500 miles is the closest. about what hp level should i be expecting with this set up.







*sidenote* i safely want to push to 20 psi with no creep. so any info would be great.
 
Please read the rules this is considered as bench racing. & Your fuel pressure is set for a 2g btw.
 
this is not bench racing i am asking around what power level i should be expecting, and if i am on a safe route with my set up. and didnt you just break rule number 2?
 
Well maybe thats just me, because " hp/tq # questions" sound like noob bench racing ROFL. I'm sure 1g set their afpr to 39 (not 100% sure). Is your a/r a wide-band(sounds like it is)? But you should be fine with the mods listed just set a good tune.
 
Asking about power expectations is still not allowed here


First line of the op:

This thread is for all those naive folks who think they can post a list of modifications their car has (or doesn't have) and get an accurate estimate from the community about how fast the car will go down a drag strip or how much power they can expect.

:hmm:

5 bucks says it was a merged post. Feeling lucky? :p
 
Ok, so I have a 95 GST with a 6 Bolt swap, rebuilt engine...it has a 2mm cometic head gasket (I know I shouldn't have lowered the compression that much but I was new to this and thought it would be better to have lower compression even though I didn't know the 1st gen had lower compression already, so I'm sitting around 7.3:1 right now), ARP head studs and bolts. Other than that the block and head are stock. I am running a greddy emanage with injector and ignition harness. The turbo on my setup is a HRC Super 20g internally gated at 15 lbs of boost. I have denso 680cc injectors that will be put in and I would like to see if anybody has insight as to what kind of power numbers I might be able to see out of this setup. I know I just need to run it on a dyno to find out, but the reason I'm asking is because the vehicle is not currently running and I'd like to get an idea of what power potential it's capable of to decide if I actually want to fix it or just sell it the way it is. With that kind of turbo how much boost do you think I could run? I also have all of the standard bolt on upgrades (i.e. 24v greddy fmic, greddy hard uicp, greddy bov, greddy 3 inch exhaust, fp intake, tubular mani). Any help y'all could provide would be GREATLY appreciated!
 
Actually it's pretty simple for someone to answer that has a similar setup IMO. What are the stock limits of the 4G63 motor in stock form with ARP studs and aftermarket gasket? The turbo is capable of 500HP max. (estimated)...I know there are people on here that have run 20g setups. So I'm looking for estimates, I'm not asking what my setup is exactly going to run. And the only reason it isn't running is because of a coolant line that needs to be replaced and the alternator. Other than that it runs perfect.
 
me vs 03 EP3(honda hatchback SI) = who would win?

EP3 has headers and full exhaust(full of leaks tho) LOL

tamper with this thread :rolleyes:

You will probably win. But if it were me, i'd get a manual boost controler and set the boost at like 14-15psi to make him feel like an idiot for racing you..

haha I don't race, I just wanted to poke a stick at this thread.
Theses Honda guys are just annoying always talking ish about my DSM, and they talk like they're freakin Honda is a Ferarri or something LOL its like "congratulations you own a freaking honda dude...." :rolleyes:

but a close friend of mine is the one with the EP3 and he likes giving me lots of crap and talkin down to my DSM LOL which btw has a nickname... Mayhem :thumb:
 
1'st gear lunch at 4k rpm.. feathers clutch okay not much wheel spin. While in first at 3k turbo kicks no traction. My mods are up to date... what can I expect? I'm guessing high 15's. Elevation will be @300ft above sea level.

Morale of the story????

I came close. I guess you can trust my bench racing advice LOL
