Small 16g limits

[KPEclipse]

are you going to run that turbo internal or external gate?

Or for him to meet me with my 50 trimmed 17 psi everyday 182,000 mile stock 7 bolt. Okay, it does run hot but you get my drift.

Ahh yet another 7-bolt that kicked the "all 7-bolts walk" theory in the ass. I love it!

My buddies 1g talon with a small 16g ran a 13.3 at 5300 ft. That is with stock internals... That's 12's at 0 altitude.

Well i guess the escort ran a 12.84 with slicks, we'll see mine should be getting tuned this week hopefully

 

[asd_gst]

escort = ford found, on, road, dead. so kill the little escort!!!

now i'm thinking about switching to an evo lll 16g and installing a set of arp head studs with 264/272 cams

 

[asd_gst]

just get valves, springs, retainers, and cams i mean if your going to put cams in why stop there?

 

[DeadlyEclipse95]

all that plus a tune for race gas...that car would scream

 

[asd_gst]

dont need tune for race gas, at least not to beat a escort, but seriously i would get everything for the head

 

[DeadlyEclipse95]

im still debating...i'm kinda curious what my current setup would run...

 

[webconnect]

Whats up with all this bench racing?

 

[asd_gst]

yea. but i know one thing
you car should be a beast!!! the guys face with the escort will be like WTF

 

[DeadlyEclipse95]

I know, its fast right now without a tune...however a good friend of mine is getting rid of his dsm and i might pick that one up as well

 

[KPEclipse]

that setup that you are talking about there is what i plan to have on by the end of the summer...if you get it setup for an external gate, race gas...you should be low 12's...thats what im looking @ considering my 14b @ under 20 psi went mid 13's

those cams are supposed to rip but be pretty street friendly, like i said thats waht i worry about the most..i want something to rip but i need streetability...i go everywhere in mine...if its not a street car get even bigger cams and just rev the fvck out of the car...

idk how i feel about valves and springs and retainers and all that, but if that's your cup of tea...go for it...its just hard for me to go spend all kinda money on that when i seen a 50trimmed car with the same bottom end as me, 1g head ported, 1g cams go in the 11s...why waste money?

 

[DeadlyEclipse95]

That is all very true...I however was trying to keep this a budget build as I have a 2ga Talon that is currently getting a HTA 35R, Built Buschur long block, AEM EMS...so my funds are a little tight right now

 

[KPEclipse]

well u can get a 16g for mad cheap...external wastegate (i know alot of people hate it but one of the wisemen run it) can be ebay style, the only thing that'll really hurt is the cams...

Forget about all these mods to the engine, you need to worry about getting the power to the ground.

I'm telling you right now your gonna spin the tires like crazy, and then run 13 seconds with hopefully a high mph.

That small 16g tuned right should easily hit 114mph on your FWD.

Without some kind of serious traction this escort is gonna walk you.

He has traction issues also....however I do have an act2600lb clutch in the car now with a set of mh racemaster slicks

 

[DSMsOwnYourV8]

How does he have traction issues when he has slicks? A 12.8 is by no means slow... Besides from the mods you will need to get there, I think your biggest concern is learning to launch your car, because that will make or break you in a 1/4 mile. I ran a 14.2 at 5300 ft, and I know my car is capable of running 13's all day because I took out my buddy from a roll who ran that 13.3 on his small 16g. Get a good launch and don't look back.

I meant when he had street drag radial...I'm not sure all i know is i need a hell of a tune to beat this kid

So, how'd it turn out?

 

[Black_Bullet]

All I will say is weight reduction....

 

[DeadlyEclipse95]

12.65 @ 114.7

 

[->PrOjEcTGS<-]

Nice... My goal is 12.5 before I cash in my S16G. Gives me plenty of hope.
