hey guys i am just curious what type of mods and how much would it cost to get into the mid 12's?

roughly 300whp will do it...

exhaust
intake
computer
Intercooler wouldent hurt

My car will probably run high 12's. I have not been to the strip to test it. I have spent about 4K on mods and upgrades, and estimate around 300 rwhp @12.5 psi.

Mods in sig.

mr2matt

so it sounds fairly easy then

you get an intake, full exhaust with midpipe, raise the boost to 12-13 psi with a computer

get a 1.9 or so 60 foot time and youll be in the high 12s

Damn! I didn't know my car was that fast.

mr2matt

thanks for the info

I think if you can drive it, anbd the clutch is solid. You could probably pull high 12's with like 2.5-3k at sea level.

I would think a Power FC full exhuast and intake would work.

You guys are forgetting the most important parts of all to hit 12s. A good set of drag slicks!

12's is not some easy do it all magically done in couple easy steps thing to do.

I agree nice tires are a must. When you start modding remember the 3 mod rule or you might be pushing it across the finish line. Just doing a full exhaust (down pipe, mid pipe, and cat back) you will need ecu work. If you just turn up the boost you need to watch your A/F. 12's are not hard to come by, but to keep it there make sure you do it right.

12s is simple. When it comes to modding an FD, the first mods should be all the reliability mods. Those are gonna be the bulk of your cost. a power fc and commander should run you about 1200 dollars. Full exhaust and intake should run you about 1000 dollars. upgrade the secondary injectors to 1300 cc should cost around 300 dollars. then figure in about 300 dollars for dyno tuning. 2800 dollars total in performance mods. Most people do reliability mods to keep there car running with that much power. AST (air seperation tank) deletion, upgraded radiator, an intercooler is a huge plus also but is usually pretty costly.
