Also, how come its running a 13.5 with a turbo upgrade? Vapor runs a 13.3 with a stock turbo and intercooler I believe at 1 bar. Just something I was wondering since this guy seems to have a fresh motor pretty much.
above the pic...click SEE MORE PHOTOS and u see a pic of his engine...the bay is still bright red. he runs 13.5 on street boost whatever that is...prolly not much more then 10psi..i duno what 1 bar is..

though for me, you'd have to change it to 10 inches, and you'd have to change inches to millimeters, and you'd have to change 10 to 5 and you'd have to change dick to poor excuse for one.

One bar is 14.5psi. If hes running 10psi that would explain it. Wonder what boost hes using race gas for then, but you don't need it for 1 bar if setup properly.

Thanks for the help with the other pics.

actually 1 bar is 14.7 psi but maybe he sucks at driving. s13s are lighter than s14 to begin with and they are easily capable of 12.9s on stock turbo with the right mods/driver. his 12.8 is nice but he could get there without race gas if he was tuned right. esp on that t28 where ive seen 12.6s.

dont like the painted door sill, that breaks up the look (vertical door pillar that separates door and rear quarter window). also the front driver side is dented. i want to say ive seen this car before when it was red - looks really familiar. those rims are for fwd they look to be 17x7 or 17x7.5 bleh rwd deserves 8" or wider or else they look too inset and not flush.

also why cant people spell right and get their damn product names right. ive never heard of a turbo having trust bearings before ??: capitalization and punctuation is there somewhat, but when i see ads with people that cant get shit right, it just doesnt seem so credible (at least he has pics to back it up). at least make a simple home page with a mod list and link it since i know autotrader limits the amount of words on their ads.

overall a nice car to work with though.

I've heard 14.5 and 14.7 from many different people, but never been certain.

my conversion chart says 1 bar equals 14.50377 psi.

the chart also says 1 atmosphere equals 14.6959 psi.
