he wanted 3500 but i talked him down to 3000, he said that the car has just been sitting and needed to get ride of it and of course i was sceptical about why he didnt want that much for it so i took it to a macanic, the car is in great shape, it drives fine, i had it inspected by a macanic and they said its looks great, no leaking fluids, shifts fine, interior was well maintained, yeah i know that 1g's have smaller injectors and turbo but that can all be fixed in 2 weeks time. still disiding if i should get it or not.

 

if its been sitting a long time it might have carbon buildup

 

mabie, how can you check for this. for 3000 what do you really exspect, i mainly want it just as a project car.

 

i ahev a 90 tsi fwd turbo 5 speed for sale for $3000 with only 80k miles or $3200 with 3" exhaust and it has even more. has a brand new act 2100 clutch, a polished bov, a ported polished head with ss valves and a 3 angle valve job, k&n filter, and free dsm mods, new red paint, very clean interior ,no leaking fluids, all gaskets just chankged ,and a smooth shifting tranny. puls its a 5 speed ,with a 6 bolt motor ,450 injectors, and,a 14b turbo. thanks mike

 

for 3k, that car better be running mid 13's IMO...but if its mint as you say it is, then i would possibly pay 3 for it.

 

how do you launch with an auto? brake boost it at 5500?

 

there really isnt a way, a 50 shot of nitrous is what i know a few peopel use just to get there turbos to spool faster but that about it.

 

...you cant hold the brake and get 5500 rpm...you gotta get a torque converter to raise the rpm's when u hold the brake at the launch.

btw, i think the reason for the smaller turbo is because u cant launch at higher rpms like the manuals can, and thats why we get the bigger turbos.

 

lmao

do you honestly think the designers of the cars at mitsubishi were thnkingabout launching these when they put the smaller turbo on the auto's?

holding the brake on the line and bringing the revs up will put a load on the motor and build boost on the line. obviously a higher stall = more load, more rpms and more of the same effect.

you never close the throttle plate during shifts, so no need to run a blow off valve, and your shifts happen faster, and happen every time........ no missed shifts with an auto unless parts are flying out of the bottom.

 

honestly i have no idea what they were thinking, but looks like they had the right idea to me...1G wise that is
