You can 12s with the mods you have plus a boost controller on race gas. 13s should be no problem.
Twelves eh...I doubt that will happen with that I have. My current best time to date is:

14.4 seconds 1/4 mile at like 95mph

I let off the gas at last second to win during elimination round and still broke out. I was running 14.9, 15.2, 14.9, 15.2, and 14.7 all day. I was a little pissed offd

My 0-60 ft time sucked ***, it must be my 17" rims. I cant dump my clucth, I'd bog out. I have to slip the clutch to get a decent time.

On the other hand, if I get an alarm...I'll have to wait for the Turbo-Timer to shut off before I can arm the alarm.
No you don't. [/b][/quote]
Wouldnt alarm cry if the turbo-timer was running while I turn the alarm on?

I know I dont always have to wait 30 seconds everytime, but I'm mostly driving on the highway...so I'm always having to wait the 30 seconds.

Only if you have an amateur install it.

[1slowdsm]

How would you install an alarm to work with a Turbo-Timer? I need some tips before I actually do it. If I can get that to work well, then that'd be even better. It would then be a Win/Win for me!

Gosh, gotta make me look bad and all. Did I mention the STOCK turbo, intercooler, piping, engine, crappy cust. exhaust piping (the guy who did my exhaust knew nothing about Turbo cars, so he said that 2.5" or more would just be loud and a waste of money... :censored: )

Does race gas really push your car that much, I mean...I spent a few hundred bucks and you think I should be hitting 12's. When other talons/eclipses have over 5K invested in their car with 20G turbos, monster intercooler, standalone fuel management and etc. Obviously you dont know much. Breaking the 12's isnt that easy, man. If it were then with a few more pennies, I'd beat John Shephard and I'd have the record talon that is street legal....

I'm just pissed off about how you said that I make DSMs look slow....I'm not the slowest DSM around here. I dont lose to civics everwhere I go. Where's the respect around here. I let off the gas to win the round and I broke out still and I get dissed for it! You're suppose to be supporting a DSMer, not dissing.

He is just jealous that he cannot drive a DSM anymore. He ran 12.1 on the stock turbo. The reason you are running so slow is that you are still at stock boost. Raise the boost to 15 psi on pump and you can probly run 19 on race gas. There is a lot more power to be had on race gas.

I would say you NEED a mbc, then get a fuel pump, SAFC and dattalogger. Then you are set for 12's.

[A//// Guy]

Or are you ? ;)

[1slowdsm]

I feel much better now that I'm not getting dissed.

I have a mbc, its the TurboXS Standard Boost Controller. I have the TurboXS HPBC also, but that one is a little harder to work with but is more accurate. I'll get the fuel pump before the end of this year. But the S-AFC, I thought it wasnt worth it? I'm still learning here, I'm no pro at racing or anything. I dont street race much, I rather go to the tracks to get the time slips. I know I could've gotten into the Low 14's atleast, but I broke out and lost and went home. A DataLogger, thats a must for next year...Thanks for the tips 92tsiawd84.

Both TurboSpoolinside and my girlfriend ran 12s on race gas with mod lists close to what you have now. Most people can't do it though. 13s shouldn't be too hard though.
