Sure, we may not be running as fast as the turbo cars, but so what? I have to ask, how many turbo DSMs run 14s or better? I'd say all of them. How many NTs? None currently in existence. Seems to me if you're putting in the wrench time and doing the tuning, it doesn't matter how fast everyone else goes. You set your own goals for your car and you work to achieve those goals. I think anyone who buys a DSM, any year, any trim, and puts some research into what they're doing and works to make improvements deserves respect. Pick on those who go insane at Pep Boys on the ricer aisle and bastardize their cars, not the people who run slower times because their not turbo imo.

. You've just contradicted yourself. By posting that, all you've done is open up a whole new can of instant 420A vs 4G63, which this thread was NOT about. Now before this turns into another war, it now does need to be closed... :laugh:

1fast97gsx said:This thread NEEDS to be closed. Not only is this the dumbest question I have ever heard seeing that an all motor 4 cylinder will never be fast and people arguing 420A vs. a 4g63 na is just plain retarded. I don't care if someone dynoed 225 whp all motor ... I bet the car still runs a 14.5 which is just plain ridiculous considering the mods that must have been done to the car to get it to that level. 420A is crap, 4g63 is nothing special either without a turbo. If you started this thread to build an all motor car then I suggest you change your pattern of thinking while you still can...

....but he is right, this is a n/t section. We would appreciate it if you did not come into our section to redicule us...ah f-that

GSGoinFast said:there arnt these problems in any other car groups, i think the few turbo guys who start these fights need to get their heads out of their asses, and i said few cause its only a select few that do it, the rest are great help to us.
1fast97gsx said:yes this is a non turbo section, however you guys should be looking at making your cars turbo, sc, sprayed or going all show. You CAN'T make a fast all motor 4 cylinder. You can't it's not possible. It pisses me off when you non turbo guys spend more money on your cars than we do and you by useless crap like a cold air intake, header and a full exhaust, cam gears, safcs and so on and run a 15.5. I just saw a post that said " I finally got rubber in 2nd " ... that's the dumbest thing I have ever heard. My friends automatic chevy caprice chirps 2nd. In the end you gain like 5 horses and drive around like you have a 400 hp car. I respect n/t guys trying to make their cars fast, but all motor is definitly the dumbest way to go about it. Either go forced induction, rice it out like 75% of the nt guys do, or buy a different car.
I've only seen mabey two riced out eclipses, that does not consitute 75%. If you are being helpful then by all means post here in the N/T forum, if you are just being a dick like this post suggests shut your fuking yap and leave us to our own devices. Godamn we all own a dsm thats why we are here, most of us are working with what we got, why damn the choice we made to get an nonturbo, does it mean you are better than us because mabey you could afford a turbo and we could not? Mabey some of us want a little performance, not the gear bashing tire melting balls to the wall getup you turbos guy seem to think you have. We understand the limitations of our cars belive us we hear it almost hourly, why keep putting someone down? Leave us be. Or mabey we could become unruley on the turbo only board, put out the same shit we get. :thumbdown1fast97gsx said:yes this is a non turbo section, however you guys should be looking at making your cars turbo, sc, sprayed or going all show.

my 1gnt 2.0 dynoed at about 123hp and 126ft/lbs with a stock engine with 64k on it. With a rebuild it dynoed at 127hp and 131ft/lbs.
My mods
Pacesetter 2.25" Mandrel bent and ceramic coated headers
freeflow cat
freeflow resinator
Glasspack Muffler
Port and Polished heads
5 angle valve job
320cc injectors
cam gears
underdrive crank pully
K&N
Ported intake Manifold
bored Throttle Body
190lph supra fuel pump
2g shift knob
Customed Geared Tranny w/ Higher 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th Gear and double 2nd sync
With these mods, My car dynoed at 195hp and 199ft/lbs at the wheels.
I have surprised many local GS-t owners (stock, and very lightly moded) and a few with 2g turbo kits, And I have beat 2 GSX autos (forget about the 5spd GSX, they tear me up off the line).
I ran about 3 weeks ago at moroso a 14.9@86mph (gonna bring the slip to school to scan).

, I thought it was pretty straight forward. It was not to be a 4g vs 420a thread, or a turbo vs non turbo thread. The only thing i wanted to know is Who has the most horsepower n/a? But I learned alot more too.Well that was how the thread was started. Just a discussion of what kind of power has been made by the N/T motor. It was fine until Mr. "I have a turbo and the rest of you suck" came and started the war.14.5 drift said:I didn't realize it would stir up such contraversies,, I thought it was pretty straight forward.

Agreed... I think it would be a great idea to "trade recipes" with eachother. If some of the negative posts were deleted this would be a good sticky about non-turbo setups and what kind of power they make, which mods people find good or not.... stuff like that.14.5 drift said:I dont wanna see this thread closed. It should be a place where yall can post up numbers and trade recipes. I did not mean any harm to either sides of the ship. I hope you guys can work through this so you can keep posting some dyno figures

Im happy with my almost running JDM N/A 4g63 engine. (at least i WILL be happy when its done) :laugh: dr1665 said:There are more of us than there are you guys and it stands to reason that we should not just drop our cars off at the salvage lot because they lack a factory hair dryer and a 10+ year old powerplant. People need to be able to make the most of what they have and not have others with similar cars bashing them.
... awesome! dr1665 said:It all has to do with what your personal goals are. If I wanted a 12 second DSM, I would have peddled Daisy long ago and got a nice 1G TSi AWD. I'm not interested in building a drag queen. I'm interested in making a relatively quick 2GNT and having fun with what I've got. I'm not dropping all this money into an all motor setup because I have illusions of grandeur and want to smoke all others. I'm doing it for the never been done before aspect. You can buy a decent turbo DSM, throw a grand into it and have something in the 13s or better I'm sure, but that's child's play. A fast DSM is a fast DSM. So what? Everyone knows you don't #### with turbo Diamondstars. Period. But not everyone bought one. Most people ended up getting the NTs and someone's got to put some effort into making the most of these cars. There are more of us than there are you guys and it stands to reason that we should not just drop our cars off at the salvage lot because they lack a factory hair dryer and a 10+ year old powerplant. People need to be able to make the most of what they have and not have others with similar cars bashing them. A turbo guy singing the tired old song about how the 420a sucks is just as pathetic as the 420a guy getting his panties in a wad and bitching right back at him. You drive DSMs. We drive DSMs. Let's drop the bullshit and start showing some of the class we're supposed to be going fast with, eh?
