Best et was 9.49 @ 72 mph

I was pretty happy with the little 4 banger!

That's flying man. Let's put a bigger turbo on it.

Well to give you a baseline. My 91 2.3 5 speed with 3.73's and ponies runs 12.1's in the 1/8th miles. MPH was maybe high 40's-mid 50's MAYBE.

I think we've got a big t3 that needs to be rebuilt. It's a Precision SC61. It made 440rwhp on a 2.4litre engine at 24psi. Precision charges 185.oo to rebuild it. That's all you man.

Are those Mach 1 wheels on your car?

my god dude that's horrible I ran an 11.3 with my stock 2.3 notch

Best et was 9.49 @ 72 mph

I'm hopping my car will run that plus 1/2-1 second

by the way the t3 can push 25psi before you disintegrate the turbo 23psi is safe the IHI can do 22psi for a few passes then all you have is a shell left.

You need sequential turbos (first a .50 then a .76) so you don't have turbo lag! :lol1:

Well my 2.3 had 255/55R16 ponies and all my tools in the interior...

Turbos are expensive, and over 20 psi of boost makes those t3 life span much shorter. One of my next purchases for power (after suspension is finished) is a t3/t4 hybrid (not Chinese, been there) and run 25 - 30 psi of boost.

I think the car is capable of a 1/2 second faster if I could drive a bit better, and launch a little harder. And maybe another 1/4 - 1/2 second if I had sticky rubber.

The newer "good name" turbos in a t3 backside can make 30 psi and have a long life span. We have one on a Nissan 240 that pushes 29psi and has been doing it for about 2 years now.

yeah the 360 degree thrust bearings are capable of some high boost. I can't wait!

That's not bad. 9.49 convert's to a 14.6 1/4 mile. That's stock 5.0 territory.:thumbsup1:
