We both agreed that I would have pulled him from any lowere of a roll, oh well....I shouldn't be racing on such low boost anyway!

 

It was a fully built GSR turbo charged in a light ass del sol though!

 

its ok i got beat by a honda from a 20...
only because my intake poped off though haha

 

excuses, excuses haha. I got beat by 3 hondas in one night! i had no problems except "heat soak" haha. Na man, the cars like the one you mentioned will pull so hard past 100 its nuts. Also, dont forget those guys runing gsrs with 150 shots of the Nitrous.

Many people have probably seen him, but a guy with a built gsr with a huge turbo in a teal hatch has beaten me on a couple of occasions. From a dig, i would definitely get him by like 6 cars, and then by 120-130, he would be passing me. yes, very crazy.

Then again, the stock snails do not help us top end since they die after 5500. so, we can all have that behind us.

 

^^ very true. No excuses though. My car was tuned for 20 psi on the tmic. Ever since I put the FMIC on I only hit 15psi. I am confident that my car making 20 psi would have walked him up top......thats where my turbo shines most. Anyway, the guy is really cool and he promised me a rematch. His car is going to be sick when he cranks that boost up though. I just can't wait to get retuned for the FMIC ,headers,and meth. 25 psi should be fun

 

woo woo. shake 'N' bake man!!

 

you may have got beat by a honda, but who wouldn't get beat by a car that has the same or close to the same power as you but weighs about 1000 lbs. less. you can make them quick but at the end of the day it is still a honda.

 

You're losing 5 psi? Have you pessure tested it? Loss seems kinda high for a FMIC install. I could see 2psi-3psi but not 5psi.

 

haven't pressure tested it yet, boost curve also comes into play. If I punch it after 4k rpm then I never see full boost since it is in the curve. With the TMIC if I did a pull from 2k to redline then I would peg 20psi then taper. Now with the FMIC if I do that it will hit about 17.5-18psi and taper down.

 

weak !!!
