Some items you will need to reach your 12 second goal is larger injectors to support your 16G. You can get away with 550's, but if you ever intend to upgrade later you might want to go with 680's. You will need some fuel control, possibly a dsm chip with injector compensation. Also you need to free up your air flow with a full 2.5 or 3" exhaust. You already have the Evo III manifold so I would recommend a O2 eliminator down pipe so you don't have to replace your restrictive O2 housing as well. Get a high flow cat/test pipe or both. Finish it off with a good high flow muffler and cat back. You might think about getting a AFPR. It is not completely necessary with the 190lph pump but it is a good tool to help you tune with. You might also want a SAFC for finner fuel tunning. Make sure all your belts and plugs/wires and fluids are all in good shape, and turn up the boost and start tunning. You will also need some type of logging software so you know what is going on with you engine, and a good set of slicks might be a good investment since you will be making a lot more power and you are fwd. Good luck to you.

What kind of 60' did you pull off? Along with everything you have been told already I can NOT say it enough...Suspension suspension suspension, and some good quality drag radials or slicks. Traction is the key!

So according to your mods, you have 16g, 190 pump,

Stock exhaust?
what PSI are you running on the 16g?

 

[LTUDSM]

yeap i got stock exhaust,at the track a ran 17PSI of boost

 

[tstkl]

your running 17 psi with a 16g (big small or evo?) and stock injectors... maybe i should rewire my stock pump til i have the money for that supra pump i want... with an fpr and all the other necessities...

Man you would see a BIG difference if you were to do the exhaust. Finish the exhaust NOW!!!

 

[diddy456]

yep, move that boost out of there.

 

[LTUDSM]

so could i do better in 1/4 mile (14.8@94mph) or is it good enough for that time with mods that i got now??

 

[girlieracr4g63]

I ask again what kind of 60' times where you getting?


Wendy

 

[LTUDSM]

My 60 time was 2.450

 

[dsmsucks]

My 60 time was 2.450

Well I could possibly see you hitting 2.2 times but it will be hard because of front wheel drive. Damn awd be hitting 1.9 times and better

 

[LTUDSM]

now i'm planing to get 3 inch turboback exhaust and 550's injectors with the SAFCII ,if i put those mods in my car what numbers could i see on my next timeslip??

It all depends on your tunning skills. If you don't have the proper tune you can have a huge turbo and not go any faster than 14s. On a good tune you should be able to run in the 12s pretty easily with your set up.

I almost forgot that your fwd. That 12 second time slip will be a challenge because of traction issues. It's all about the 60' times. If you can get a good 60', your in. A stock awd pulls between 1.9 and 1.7 60', and a normal fwd is around 2.2-2.0. You might want to ask Wendy some questions about how to lower you 60' times in a fwd. She's definately got it down.
