So how many of you run 13's or better in the 1/4mi? I often see some heavily modified VR4's, Z32's, 240sx's, mustangs, and DSM's around town, but have never had the opportunity of racing/talking with them.
Chris (2nd gen DSM w/ 16G turbo) and I ran into each other at Kroger today and did a 2nd/3rd gear pull on the way home. As expected we stayed even to the top of 3rd gear, where we shut down due to avoid a ticket.
Good run Chris...definitely a quick car. I'd like to see what would happen from a launch or from 20 to 100+.
Jeff
"As expected we stayed even to the top of 3rd gear, where we shut down due to avoid a ticket. " You do know you can get a ticket for just accelerating quickly in a "contest of speed" with another car right :p I'll probably get bashed for this until i prove it, but I would run a 13.9 or so on a level track.

That is true, in GA at least, if you accelerate quickly at a light a cop can pull you over for reckless driving and lane dragging. I hate all of these stupid rules. GO CATCH REAL CRIMINALS DAMNIT! Sorry just had to get that out.

Yea, true. Luckily Ive never gotten a ticket, nor do I usually race where cops are likely to be. Me and Jeff raced on Patrick henry on the straight away, and shut down right before the next light, so it'd be unlikely that a cop would have seen us between those two lights, and we didnt launch off of the line, as we had to pass the BT bus and be way out of it's way before we gunned it.
Good race man, just like I said we were VERY neck and neck, starting at about a 30mph roll or so, and then getting them up to about 85. Nice car man, sounds sweet as can be.

Thanks...may look like a piece of shit, but I fool a lot of people that way.
And yeah, I agree. Accelerating rapidly is usually considered reckless driving.
RGuy - I think I'd get a 13.9 on a sea level track as well...seriously. I ran a 14.0 @ 101 at bristol with the 240sx a few months ago.

Does anyone know that white crx w/ the black racing stripes, and the tall wing? Does he have anything done to it? I haven't seen/heard him driving, just seen it at the emporium and around campus parked.

Hm...maybe I'm thinking of a different CRX, but I raced one that had a fruity body kit, dark racing stripes (it was night coulda been black or dark blue), big wing, and huge rims, and it was an 11 second 1/8th mile car if that.

HAHAHAH I hate that car, no offense if any of you feel differently, but I SERIOUSLY hate body kits, especially if they make the car look that bad. That car to me looks like ass, and I feel he literally threw a TON of money right out the window. I think I gave him the thumbs down one day when he drove past me, I know he saw it. Im not an ass usually but jesus that thing is hideous. Sorry if I have a mouth here, but I like to speak my mind, so again if this offends any of you I am sorry I just feel I should be able to speak my opinion.
Back to the original topic,
My car is red, and looks stock mainly. The only ques on the outside are 35% tint, Konig Villan wheels, a Thermal exhaust tip poking out (muffler is completely black, so all you can see really is the tip), and my center tail section is clear (did this to seperate myself from another friend back home who had a 1995 GSX in red as well). Ill get some pics up here for you guys, I have some new ones taken.

Since it's raining out, and I cant seem to find any outside pics of her, here are some of the interior. I got alot of crap installed but tried to do it as nicely and stock appearing as possible, I think it turned out well.

Im a fanatic about taking care of her so she usually is spotless, however with the fucking blacksburg rain we have been having I feel like noah riding his ark having to drive through rain for what seems like 40 days straight. But seriously I have two of every animal in my trunk.

I dont approve of street racing, but sometimes if the conditions are right I will do a quick sprint, usually just up to whatever the speed limit is ie: 0-60mph just for fun.
But like they said if you are in town I definately would like to check out your 7, is it an FD? To tell you the truth I have been dieing to get a quick ride in one. Long story short I have tried many times to get a ride and literally everytime something comes up where I cant. I just wanna see how different of a feel the car has. Let me know man.

My FD is modded way beyond the use of that pile of shit Vacuum hose contraption you mentioned. I live in Newport News.down near Ft Eustis....not sure exactly how far of a drive it is to the blackburg area:confused:. As far as my Mods...i'd rather keep those to myself for now.. If you ever meet me in person....i'll show them off. But i'm not broadcasting to the world what is under my hood. I will say it has about every basic FD bolt on that there is....plus a lot of custom parts :D

It's a pain to drive everyday cause it's a little bit on the fast side. I run 800/600 lb springs which almost require wearing a back brace or kidney support, the rollcage takes up a little seat travel. It's blaringly loud. :crazy: It gets shitty gas milage. The clutch is a work-out just to press in. EVERY GOD DAMNED BODY FEELS COMPELLED TO TRY TO RACE ME......even if they are in a shit box car . The cops follow me constantly, waiting for me to do something stupid. Hmmm..what else?...NO power steering, no air conditioning, no heater, practically no radio cause you can't hear it at anything above 2K rpms....It smokes alittle between shifts because i have to run pre-mix 2 cycle oil in the gas tank. :smoke: This car is ran at VIR and Summit Point on the road course as much as my wallet will allow, So the car is phenomenal on the track....not user freindly on the street.
Are these enough reasons??
Nice. GreyGT-C you sound like my kind of guy. Track racing owns my wallet too.

I'm new to the board today, my name is Nick. Spinning my tires in most of first and w/o my headers I ran a 14.59; as in my signature. That was on a slippery track on a 60 degree 85% humidity day. I'd say it realistically runs low 14's, and when I finish up the supercharger around February/March I'll be in the low 13's (of course that's after I install a Phantom Grip LSD ;)) I have 90% of my parts together now, and it's just time to start putting it all together, except I have to go home to NY for xmas break, so like I said, a few months and I'll be boosting on stock internals, at around 5 psi, should be good for about 280-300 at the crank. With all this 20 degree weather tho, this thing is mad fast! Traction in 2nd is a big problem in these temps.

Jeff Taylor
12-07-2002, 05:26 PM
probe - very nice. It's not very often that you come across a fast ford probe. I'm not making fun of the car, just saying that they are supposedly difficult to make power with, due to the "flapper-door" style MAF.
I'd like to check out your car sometime, it sounds impressive.
Jeff
speaking of probes...I hear there are two insanely fast mx6 turbos lurking around the blacksburg area. A few years back when I went there, a guy there with a turbo supra got eaten alive by one of them on the interstate. said it made 390 to the wheels.
Jeff Taylor
12-07-2002, 06:52 PM
MX6's? Damn. I've seen quite a few modified MX6's around here, but I never gave them a second glance...Maybe I should pay more attention.

I'm gonna call BS on that! Unless it's a first gen Mx6..the old kind, I know a guy in Fla. with one that has 490 at the wheels..FE3, but no 2nd gens.
I had mine turbo'd this year, but I sold the kit and changed engines.
The MAF flapper door you speak of is from first gens, we have a VAF, and it's limiting, but not much. I have a friend who dyno'd his probe at 300 to the wheels, stock engine, T04E running 7 psi. Mine has 10:1 C/R so I'll keep the boost low and make more than enough power to keep me happy; it's a daily driver anyway.
I'd be more than happy to meet up with anyone..just name a place/time.
Nick
Mother fucker please. Of course it's a first gen. You can take that BS flag and shove it up your ass.

Jeff
probesport_gt
12-09-2002, 12:28 PM
Nick (My Probe is faster) has the engine swap (KLZE) w/ all the goodies and is building a supercharger kit right now.
I had the ZE swap for about a month, but am now back to the OEM KL03 engine with a few goodies and a nice nitrous set-up.
Rundown:
~Back in the day OEM vs. OEM = me win
~Nick boosted vs. me OEM= Nick killed me :p
~Nick KLZE vs. me OEM= Nick by a few cars
~Nick KLZE vs. me 55 shot= guessing me
~Nick SC ZE vs. me 75(or more) shot= ??? who knows.....
Nicks car is faster most of the time...but we are battling it out for fastest PGT in town. Its going to be a toss up here in a few months.
Jeff Taylor
12-09-2002, 12:37 PM
So what are the advantages of the KLZE over the stock engine?
Have you guys ever gotten any times in those cars?
Later
probesport_gt
12-09-2002, 12:59 PM
Well here is a quick run down:
Stock Probe motor:
~KL-03 rated @ 164hp 9:6:1 compression
J-Spec Mazda MX-6 motor: (drops right into a probe, no problems)
~KL-ZE rated @ aprox 200hp 10:1 compression
Both motors are basically the same. The same block, crank, ect. Just little diff. on the top end. Wiring harness works, ECU will run the ZE (just not to full potential) But direct bolt in swap. harness, tranny, axles, ALL!
Main Differences:
~KLZE flat pistons, higher compression, square ported heads for better flow, knife-edged intake mainfold w/ square ported runners for increase flow. No EGR
~KL03 oval shaped heads and IM, Fully Functional EGR system, lower compression that takes better to boost
Pros of ZE:
~more baseline hp from factory
~higher topend flow/ power
~Joy of saying you have a "swap" of "J-spec" motor!:p
Cons of ZE:
~w/ higher compression it makes it harder to boost
~A-spec ECU WILL run the motor, but not to its fullest, so J-spec ECU must be bought.
~Along w/ the J-spec ECU, you must get the proper VAF to work with the ECU.
~know to blow from oil starvation in #6 cylinder
All in all...its an aweosme motor:D
As for the KL03....its also a good motor. LOVES BOOST, fun to drive, but just not quite the top end beast that the ZE is. (but thats NOTHING that the juice doenst take care of)
Well I said quick...that wasnt:D oh well... I know I left alot out, but it was just a rundown. I am sure Nick will chime in with more info on the ZE.
His is awesome, but mine left a nasty taste in my mouth. Me personally, I like my 03 w/ nitrous, but riding in Nicks car still puts a smile on my face:beer:
Goofynick6
12-09-2002, 04:22 PM
Wes...you pretty much covered things :p
The ZE is nice because you can buy 'em for $900 and they have lower mileage (usually ~20-45k) and are a direct bolt in.
The higher C/R makes boost a little more dangerous, just have to be more careful with fueling, which is difficult on our cars, not many injector options.
The stock engine can handle 8 psi safely, the ZE, well I'm going to run 5-6 psi because I already figure I have 220 at the crank..and have enough problems with traction. I don't want to run low 12's or anything.
You asked about times, mine is listed in my signature, was with a poor 2.25 60' time.

Yeah Probes arent to everyones taste, but thats why I like the, Sure they are around a lot, but how many have something done to them other than an APC sticker and AutoZone Exhaust?
Rare= good in book:p
BTW: WagZ Awesome Z man!!

well i havent run mine yet in the 1/4 w/ the current set up but my buddies who have similar setups/hp w/ their Z are running high 10's - so thats pretty decent for a 3400lb car.
And as most people know the Z is not a good 1/4 mile car - its a good wide open car - i'll go against anything up to close to 200mph

probably the fastest honda...but actually josh's type r would have giving you a run for your money before he got rid of it. but yeah that is a pretty bold statement...and if anything should happen between you and wagz. ill put my money on wagz thank you.:hi:

You dont know me or my car so how would you say I think WAGZ would pretty much win but oh well Im not trying to start anything, his car looks pretty nice. On another note 550cc injectors seem pretty small for your car, dont you lean out??
You have one turbo, he has two. He has a V6. He has RWD. He has aerodynamics. One of his rear tires could eat two of yours. See what im getting at? Its always nice to see an underdog win though...but i dont see it happening here. And if you're planning on going 100mph+ on public roads do it in the middle of nowhere please.

listen guy...we know you have a fast hatch. but do not come on this board claiming to be the fastest import as one of your first posts. and do not try and hussle anybody here. we are all knowledgable people and we know a quick car when we see one. but *if* anything should happen between you and wagz...pullleassse set this up in another form of medium. and dont forget to contact me... i can video tape.

according to your sig turbo hatchy, i would have to guess you probably can't do faster than a mid to low 12 on a street... on the street, wagz will own you.. unless you run slicks on the street.. even still, he would probably own you.. not trying to trash talk or anything, just stating the facts as i know it.. if you have a timeslip or such to prove otherwise, feel free to add them.. but from what i've seen, a turbo hatch will only go so far on street tires and pump gas..

ya i'm also on street tires but can run race gas up to 26psi and about 20 on pump gas - if i put drag tires on i should be able to hit mid 10's

Are you the same guy that I heard about going to Roanoke on a sunday night and wanting to put money down that you were the fastest car at the races? Is there a clear hood on that car? I'd like to check out your car sometime and give you a run, for fun.

Ill answer them all. Wags thats funny. You say you should run 10's but you havent run it yet??? I dont understand why you havent run it yet? As for the others sayin I would only run mid 12's haha. Think what you like. Like I said you show the money I will race.
I am pretty sure you are joking about the clear hood cuz I would be damned if i had a clear hood, and I would never show anyone what I have. Just ask "sevensix" about my car...he wont say much, except not to race me for money
BTW I said I wasnt trying to start shit...And everyone has something to say...wagz i respect your reply cuz you very well may have a car that will give me a run.

i arrived at the mid 12s conclusion based on what i have personally seen.. i have seen a turbo b18c hatch that runs about mid 13s... several of them actually in my area, they all run about the same.. then there's altered atmosphere's drag civic.. it ran a 12.8 @ 14PSI on a huge turbo that i can't remember the specs of at the moment.. they used an AEM EMS t otune it as well (371hp i believe it was) ... you say you run 1 bar, which i am pretty sure is about 16 PSI.. so make it a little faster than the 12.8 they ran.. (12.0 on slicks).. and i come up with a guess of mid to low 12s on the street, and mid to high 11s on slicks.. altered atmosphere knows waht they are doing.. the logic makes sense to me.. if there's something i'm missing go ahead and correct me..

u best be careful when asking me to show u the money - i probably can pull more cash than you can any given day of the week.........here's a peak at what i keep handy (35k btw)
http://www.leadleader.com/wagz/toys/35k.jpg
The reason i say i havent run mine yet is b/c i just had all the engine work done and took it from 450rwhp to 650rwhp and am still finishing up some additional mods on it (going FMIC rather than my HKS SMICs, doing border 850 injector/rail kit, and a custom widebody rear w/ 18x12 HRE 540's and 18x9 fronts) - i just got her back from 2 of the biggest car shows of the year and took 1st in both - i built her to be a balls to the wall fun car that would be a show stopper - a 650rwhp national show winner (getting ready to be a multi mag cover car) is pretty good.
I say mid to hi 10's cuz i have fellow Z freiends w/ basically the same set up that run that left and right.
btw - i didnt build my car to be a 1/4mile queen - i built her to be huge hp, fast, fun, and beautiful - the 1/4mile doesnt intereest me and i've put $50k into my Z in the past 2 years in the upgrades and re-creation (not including the cost of the Z since i bought it over 5 years ago)
btw - did ur car used to have a black and white (maybe grey like unpainted primered) body kit and be parked at that bank right across the bridge in Radford?
*Bling Bling* I needed my Oakleys for that post....
Turbo Hatchy: You started shit by claiming to be the fastest import around. That was your first mistake. Trying to get everyone to race you because you *THOUGHT you had the fastest car around. That was your second mistake.
And everyone has something to say...wagz i respect your reply cuz you very well may have a car that will give me a run.
and you don't respect anybody elses reply because you think they dont have a fast enough car, or they dont have a 11 second car? no buddy, that was your 3rd mistake.
I respect those with fast/clean cars and/or those who have the knowledge to back it up. those indivduals strive to learn more in order to better themselves as a indivdual or better their own passion for the automotive industry without condescension and pretension. everybody here as far as I know deserves that same respect.

Wagz, Your car is on a totally different level than any car on this board with its completeness in every area. I do think that this race would be outstanding. I actually think that the hp to weight ratios aren't very far apart, and that they are both extremely impressive ratios. This is definitely a traction race and a driver race. Both of you guys are obviously bold spirits, and that is exactly what makes us want to race or build a fast machine in the first place. Let's get it on. There is a place. You guys email me.

My 550cc injectors are small. but they haven't leaned out yet. i run them at about 95%duty according to my apexi monitor. But my dry n2o system raises pressure quite a bit. btw, when an injector is run at 99-100% duty cycle, it stays open and gas almost just pours in. you will run very rich at 99% duty. don't listen to those crappy magazines that tell you that you want to run 75% and 80% at the most. also 555cc are good to about 400rwhp.
anyhow, i want to see both of you race! also, if your in roanoke oneday let me know. i'd like to see your car. a friend is building a hatch with a h22 turbo. no doubt the hatches are light at about 2200lbs. so lets get this race happening!

my z is still getting the new FMIC, 850kit, new better dps, and redone n2o lines finished up at the shop now - then it goes into my bodyshop guy for the widebody rear project and full paint job - keep in mind i do this to my Z for some show reasons and also for some magazine coverage, not for 1/4 mile races! lol
She should be done by mid to end of february from the body shop - those that have seen my Z in person (i think about 10 guys from this board) know i'm not talking shit - my Z is pretty fucking well done and is only getting bigger and better!
Finally - if i was to race some1 like turbo hatchy who clearly only wants to go a 1/4 mile for money - then i'd say its far to have a 0-100 or 40-150 race as well. Fair is Fair since he's the "fastest" import on the forum right.

I know there are other imports faster than that on this board.

I'm having 2nd thoughts though now that I've got the car running right. I'll probably end up waiting till I get used to the current setup...that or get mad when some of the domestic boys talk shit to me and go splurge ^_^

Yep You are right 1 bar 14.7lbs of boost. Thats what I run daily. Like I said I likely might be the fastest Import In my area. Wagz is the only one so far on this board in my AREA, that has stepped up. I said likely the fastest. But I will race WAGZ..not for the $1000's he was showing off...Ill go for about $500.

wagz? when is your car going to be done?
for this race, i think it should be a 10mph roll to make it more even for hatchy.
btw, i think one of the fast 300z's just went 6.9x in the 1/4

all my new mods (fmic, new dps, new n2o lines, big brake kit, etc) should be done within the next 2 weeks if all goes as planned (meaning no problems w/ relocation of oil cooler and instalation of FMIC etc) and then she goes to my bodyshop guy for the widebody kit install, full paint job, and molding of all the sideskirt and rear valence lines.
So i dont plan to have her back till mid to end of february - but i dont drive her in the winter much anyway unless its clear and no snow/wetness on the ground.
thats why i have my audi ;)

If there are cars on this board that are truly as complete as Wagz's car is then let's hear about them. My car is no piece of shit, but it is nowhere close to the level that Wagz's is on, and I have over 20k invested in interior, exterior, engine swap, turbo upgrade, drivetrain, etc. And that doesn't include labor which I have done myself. Completeness is in the details. I’m talking about the details in all aspects, especially in the plethora of aftermarket electronics and tuning devices involved with well-tuned turbo vehicles, and also in exterior, interior, and suspension enhancements. This post isn’t defensive or snide in any manner. It’s just that if there are more vehicles that are built to the degree that his is, then please point me towards them because I love nice cars. It isn’t every day that you see cars like that. Usually the cars in magazines aren’t as heavily modified as that.(most the time they are more ghetto than you would think) -Anyway. We should also keep track of the fastest cars on this board and organize a Spring Jam or some shit. That way we all have enough time to have most vehicles done for this year so we can run, meet each other, and sort out and end some shit talking. It would be fun. Natural Bridge/Elk Creek/Dinwiddie? Whatever.

That's what the big dog list is for.
I don't know enough about other people's cars on this board myself to make a statement like that, I was wondering if you did, that's why I said that. There are a few though that come to my mind. Don't ask me to put them on the spot.
I gotta chime in. A fast car, or saying you have "the fastest car in the area" doesnt mean anything really. I say we have Wags and turbo hatchy take that 500 bucks and use it towards a REAL track event. You'll even save 200 bucks. Or that can be what the "winner" gets. Even though it will be set up as a school, you two can line up right behing one another and go at it as hard as you think you can handle.IMHO, this would REALLY show who has the fastest car. Anyone can shift 3-4 gears and hold the steering wheel straight. Once you try a real track event, you wont go back.
Rguy, who would be right behind both of them..

anybody can make a light car handle well. ie. Type R's. when you can drive a heavy car, and tune the suspension to where it behaves like a light car, is when you've got a good car and a good driver. this IMHO would not be the best way to show whos "Fastest" between the two.
well guys - once my baby is done (again) i'll play around = those that know me have seen me take her to 150+mph and that was when she was just over 400rwhp - now i'm going to be 650rwhp - so imagine the fun.
I built her to be the best of everything basically - show and go - too many cars that get coverage today are either 1 or the other - too much show and no go or a ton of go but not that pretty - i did a good amount of each - show me how many 650rwhp+ Z32's there are in the nation that are rolling w/ 18x12 rears, custom engine, custom interior and so on. Its becoming more popular, but i've been building my baby over the past 2 years and she's turning heads.
I'll play around w/ anyone that wants a go - 500 is not much $ to me (sorry if that sounds arrogant) but when you have 50k invested in mods and restoration alone in the Z, another 20k in the audi, and all my other toys are paid cash than 500 is just some fun money - once she's done i'll play - but to keep it far we should really do 2-3 styles of race - maybe 1/4mile, roll from 40, and roll from 75 to about 150 or so.
I never came on this board claiming i was the best - as my sig says "i have a few mods" and i just love having a fast clean ride.
We'll play aorund closer to spring!!

Why do you say that? Long straights, turns, shifting matters a LOT, the FASTER car is going to win. Hands down.
"there's a lot more to it than you might think.. it seems simple... but there is a huge factor of the driver even in drag racing.."
Agreed, but in the end its just shifting fast;). And because of this we should have one driver for both cars, to limit the variables. Ill volunteer :)

i say this because look at ur comment above saying that YOU will be right behind them. LOL, you just contradicted yourself by saying that youll be RIGHT behind them...when you clearly know that your car is NOT the faster of the two. the power that you lack between Turbo Hatchys car and Wagz car is incredible...and yet you will keep up with them. Do u still think this would be the test of the faster car now?

You all def. have the best idea. I would love to put something together during the spring for everyone one to come out in the area and just have a good time and race legally. I would rather race on the track anyway, the streets are dangerous to ourslelves and other innocent ppl. Not to mention, that my car has a lot easier time with traction with the Mickeys on it. I would like to do 1/4 mile though. 1/8 mile just isnt as fun, and us turbo car owners know we love the high trap times we get in the 1/4. Until then it would be cool if we could all meet up somewhere and chill. I will def be willing to put down alot of cash for the event. Because to me the $500 I was willing to put down on racing Wagz, was def. a gamble that I could lose the money. So everyone keep an ear open to where we might be able to host this event. I can get a lot of cars from the NOVA area to come too.. Alot of fast hondas and our All Motor Integra that went 10.35@130 (2nd fastest all motor honda in the world, last month was the fastest)
Everyone should make some suggestions about when we should all meet up and where for now, not exactly to race but just for some fun. Maybe go out and beat some domestic cars asses:beer:

Honestly dude, what is this? Why did you do that? It's just distasteful IMO. A simple "I have 500 dollars" would have been fine, you could have even taken a picture of the 500 dollars. You arent a rap star and dont need to be showing off your wealth on a board that is primarily full of people under 22, who are in school still and couldnt save that much up even if they did save since they started driving. Again man, it was just distasteful IMO.

ah man lighten the fuck up - if some1 is going to come around claiming they have the biggest and the baddest ride around and then stating shit like "show me the money" - then i'll put a shittalker in their place. Go re-read the damn thread - he said "show me the money and i'll race" or something like that and said he wouldnt diclose timeslips prior to payout - so i just 1 up'd him - doesnt matter if he can run a 9 sec 1/4 if he cant match my bet - he also never said 500 amount until after i posted that cash pic!
Did you ever see me come on this board saying i had the baddest ride on here or that i was the fastest or asking people to put up or shut up?
didnt you see the shit "turbo hatchy" got for making such stupid/flamboiant comments - i was putting him in his place.
For any 1 person on here to say they are the fastest on here is jsut stupid - didnt say if that was 0-60, 1/4 mile, 1/8 mile, top speed, autox, etc etc.
How the fuck would i know the majority of people here were 22 or below - it doesnt say "college fucking forum" on here and i'm not rap star - but u think i did all the shit to my Z i did w/ handouts - no by the time i was 22 i was doing very well for myself already.
If it offends - so be it
well, i liked the picture anyway :)

I built her to be the best of everything basically - show and go - too many cars that get coverage today are either 1 or the other - too much show and no go or a ton of go but not that pretty - i did a good amount of each - show me how many 650rwhp+ Z32's there are in the nation that are rolling w/ 18x12 rears, custom engine, custom interior and so on. Its becoming more popular, but i've been building my baby over the past 2 years and she's turning heads.
I'll play around w/ anyone that wants a go - 500 is not much $ to me (sorry if that sounds arrogant) but when you have 50k invested in mods and restoration alone in the Z, another 20k in the audi, and all my other toys are paid cash than 500 is just some fun money - once she's done i'll play - but to keep it far we should really do 2-3 styles of race - maybe 1/4mile, roll from 40, and roll from 75 to about 150 or so.
I never came on this board claiming i was the best - as my sig says "i have a few mods" and i just love having a fast clean ride.
We'll play aorund closer to spring!!

The "Twin Plug" blew for speed but had a lot of torq....
The CA18ET was great but never produced anymore than 290 Rwhp, The VG30E is great Im building that now( VG30E originally came in my car) As for turbo hoods It was intended to have a scoupe in all the turbo hoods but in 86 nissan got a lot of flak about how the turbo bonet looked , So they did some with and some without.....Just depended on what you wanted to buy.....heres a pic, you be the judge, (Turbos only came in the coupeas far as i know)http://www.200sx.org/images/lowres/s12.jpg

Those Apexi filters look WAY too small for your application, seems like you'll be choking the engine at higher rpms?

I've seen a twin turbo Vette using 2" piping from turbo's to the IC, and then one 4" pipe from the IC to the throttlbebody. 2" is good from turbo to IC, and 2.5" to the TB's should be fine, looks like it's perhaps 2.25? Sure it's plenty.

how big do you need?! thats plenty big. intercoolers are over rated. you don't have to have the biggest. If you have an efficient turbo, its not going to heat up the intake charge much anyhow. there are lots of silvia's in jdm land making 600+ hp with smaller intercoolers then mine, and mine is smaller then wagz.
or just run alcohol and then you have the opposite problem...you have ice on your intake manifold from the alcohol fuel.

those intakes are actually noted to be higher hp gains than JWT and they save space - they just dont filter quite as well

They're the perfect size for twin filter fitment, unless he makes a custom fabrication. I believe the Apexi filters are the best for the Z other than the Blitz.

Needless to say it hasn't come back up here since then, not until I can find another place to park it.
