Lets "say" you wanted to get there..What would YOUR setup be?..

As we all know,my motor shit on me..So my plans have to progress sooner than anticipated.

9:1 Compression CP Pistons
Eagle rods
Brian Crower 272's
30R or a 35R
Meth Inj
AEM EMS

I want 450whp on Pump gas,and ATLEAST a 120mph trap,yet again..On pump gas..Car will particially be gutted(no back seat etc etc)..But WILL retain A/C somehow..

Are my dreams possible?..Or just plain unrealistic?..Also,what would you do to achieve these goals?...

CBRTRX

id say with 400whp and a lil weight reduction youll be right around 120mph traps, but a good e.t. will be all in the set up

F4A22

20g on the bottle.A 35r is oversized coming from a pretty stock car before.

On meth injection? A 50 trim would do 450 on meth. I guess if you want to get spendy, a gt3071r would do it, or a gt3076r would do it with more head room.

If you wanted a true pump gas 450whp, I'd say 8.5:1 compression or lower, a 2.3 or 2.4, gt35r, and something like BC 280s, FP3xs, etc.

I don't think an AEM EMS is your best choice for either build unless you plan on going bigger- DSMlink is a lot easier and would work at the level you want to be at. AEM is supposed to be a big pain in the butt to get up to a working level of knowledge with.

fp3052
methanol
8.5:1
for cams, the BC's cause they are so darn affordable or the fp3x
stick with a built 2.0 id say.

why would you want a 2.3 or a 2.4 on a turbo that likes to rev... and then the car is FWD TQ doesnt really help

Jordan Y.

It's all a matter of airflow, you can flow more air at lower boost with bigger displacement, making more power at pump-gas boost levels. I don't think the turbo cares about revs, it's all pressure ratios and flow numbers, as long as you're on the map through your range it's all good. The rev range on a 2.3/2.4 should be fine with a gt35r- You may make 20 psi on a 2.0 at 4300 and rev to 9k max, make 20 psi on a 2.4 at 3800 and rev to 8k max. You're only losing 500 rpm of powerband and a bit of gearing advantage. As far as torque goes, it's the instant torque hit that blows away tires, not just sheer torque, and the hit is supposed to be pretty harsh on the GT35r from what I hear, but I don't know if that gets better or worse between 2.0 and 2.3/2.4. I know on the 2.0 it's supposed to build boost slowly up to a few psi before just slamming the boost needle in the mid-4000-rpm range, I don't know if it does the same thing on a 2.4 or if it builds in a more linear progression.

I don't know if I'd suggest fp3x for a 2.0l car on a 61mm wheel. I don't know if I'd suggest them for a 2.0 at all. On one hand they're super aggressive, so you'd need a really big turbo to make good use of them, but at the same time the ramp rates are so high that FP doesn't recommend running them to the RPM you'd have to run a 2.0 to with that big of a turbo. I think you'd really have to know what you're doing to set up a 2.0 with those cams, and then you'd probably just have custom cams made to fit your setup. I personally would stick with FP2xs but that's just my opinion.

Jordan I <3 you! lol


**OT** But do you park near the physics building on Monday and Wedensday at night? I find it hard to beleive there would be another 92 laser with FD rims...

2g

Jordan FTW! Good logic.

JR.

if ur car is going to be gutted all u really need is a good 20g setup,c16,dsmlink,lots of boost,slicks and a good tuner.
