13.0 in T2
I have a 89 T2, and am looking for ideas to get to 13.0 in the 1/4. Right now according to the previous owner it runs a 14.3.
Mods-
Racing Beat DP and full exhaust
Some ACT Clutch
Greddy Profec B, SAFC, Boost Gauge
Apexi Air Filter
Can I still use the SAFC or should I go with a standalone? Is the factory turbo ok or should I upgrade? Thanks for any input.

I have been browsing the time slip section...can you be more specific about the turbo? Will it work with the factory manifold or do i need to get an aftermarket one?

man you got LOTS of options if 13 is your goal.
get 250whp and some MT et streets. a good 60 foot time is where its at.
i guess it has alot to do with the driver.. but there are people with pretty much stock setups running mid 13s. then there are others with the same setup on paper, but run 14s.
is it just depends.
id say go run the car. see what you get it to run. then go from there.

I'd like to go run the car but there are no more test and tune nights at the local strip. I found a dyno sheet with all the paperwork and stuff he gave me and it put down 224 whp and 222 ft/lbs torque. I did buy it with seized rear calipers and heavy 18's(i'm putting vert wheels on it this week) and I wouldn't be surprised if the guy ran the car with the calipers seized.

You can just buy some mammoth 1600cc injectors, which are actually cheaper, that you'll never have to upgrade and you can tune them with the to run at like 50% or less until you need more fuel. With a standalone you can completely max out the stock turbo. However, it still wont be enough to run a 13 flat. You'll definitely need an aftermarket turbo unless you want to run stock turbo with nitrous or something else crazy. Standalone gives you so much headroom and IMO actually saves money overall if you can make the initial investment.

TID, TB mod, remove ac/ps/ap belts for race day. drag radials or better. good driving, you will get your an extremely low 13. i managed a 13.6 with 265 all seasons with the same mods
edit, that was for the same mods you have now. oh and get a fmic
edit x2- port your wastegate and remove the twin scroll and even up the runners to the turbine.

That's all I can think of right now, off the top of my head.

You don't need a standalone or a FMIC to hit a 13.0 . My buddy ran a 13.1@105 with street tires, stock turbo, stock IC, stock ports (Turrentine rebuild).
this was on an '88 T2. He had injectors, exhaust, Rtek 1.7, SAFC, etc, and a good dyno tune with a wideband.

If you do want an upgraded turbo, the best bang for the buck would be a bnr hybrid upgrade. Check it out at www.rx7store.net
