Slow '91 Talon

Good point on the price, spend twice the amount for the same or lesser performance? no thanks.

You did get another DSM and failed. :rollinglaugh:

:( I know. Like I said, almost ;). Maybe I should just get a 3/s and put 2 EF turbos on it haha.

Sorry to get OT.

Nah, you would probably get a 3/s, talk about getting the turbos for 2 months, then sell it all and talk about the next project for another 5 months. :lol:

Haha, I won't say that's farfetched. Cars and I don't get along much, I'm close to switching hobbies.

Well, I understand why ebay parts have the reputation that they do... bought a jpipe from cxracing... what a f'n piece.

At first glance it didn't seem to bad. I went out there to visually mock some things up, hoping to get rid of my ghetto over the manifold hot pipe. There are (at least) 2 problems with the piece. First, the flange on the bottom is WARPED. bad. Second, the welds on the flange are super close to the bolt holes. One side is okay, one side I'm going to use a recessed hex cap screw, or whatever they're called. It appears that, without a washer, the head size is small enough to fit flat.

I should've just spent the extra $30 and bought a real part.

Ok, pretty sure I've acquired all the parts: Link, 1200cc RCs, Walbro 255, fuelab afpr, small 16g with external gate setup, and a FP race manifold. If I was 200whp at DB with the stock SMIC, 14b, and 550s do you think this will realistically do 300+ with the new setup on e85?

Either way it's time to start taking shit apart.

I would say 275 at DB. Joel on here had the same setup as yours pretty much except evo 3 16G. He made 291? at db. Just my guess though

[goodhart]

Do you have a front mount? I would say 275 is realistic.

Plus its thru an auto.

[mikefromMN]

So what should I be looking at next? Head and cams? Or save my pennys and buy a real turbo?

[awd-drifter]

a choice between the Evo 3 16g and 272s would be a hard choice....unless you can get them both. 300awhp sounds very fun.
