could i run a 12.2

Is it possible for my car to run a 12.2 @ 15 psi. I found a piece of paper where i had written stuff about the car when i bought it and that's what he told me it ran.

Only if your car was tunned for the most hp, and you use some drag radials or slicks....IMO I've learned the heard way twice I ran a 13.5 at 6psi, next pass at 10 psi bye bye rear apex seals, get it on a dyno with a wideband and tune that ***** to 11:1 just to be safe, 12:1 is optiumum, but it hard to get it exactly right and you don't wanna blow your engine on the dyno....

what kind of turbo? do you have a map? How big is the FMIC?

I doubt 12.2, high 12's sound more like it.

Do you even know you are running a to4 for sure and the owner wasnt lying out of his ***? Because motors will pop with an fcd and a walbro using the stock turbo, much less a to4 at 1 bar.

but the RX7withNitrous wastegate can control boost (hold at low boost) better than stock wastegate, it isn't the stock turbo's fault, it's the stock wastegate and the wastegate's style of venting.

lol! Everytime I see rx7withnitrous post I wonder how the engine is still alive. A freaking to4 on the stock ecu and some slightly upgraded secondaries. It defies everything I'v ever known. Time is counting down my friend, I suggest you invest in the next microtech group buy and not go boosting 1 bar all over the place.

I'm just wondering...do you have extra money lying around for a rebuild? Or do you really think its going to last? Seems kind of pointless to waste an engine even if you do have the money

Word!

Everytime I see it, I can't help wondering why I have so much **** in my car, trying to stop my engine from grenading, when obviously you don't need it .

Crank that baby up to 15psi, and make me feel better for having invested a lot of money...

on a stock turbo....

he's running full t04 on stock ecu and injectors... his afc and 850's arn't even in yet.

there is no way. he must have ecu or injector mods he just doens't know about. since he bought it as is.

Absolutely.

If it were being pulled down the track by an 11 second car.

The previous owner must have had the ecu remapped or something.

Theres no way. that car HAS to have upgraded secondarys. And for it to have not popped by now on stock injectors is amazing. It defies laws of rotary.

Ya i think it has something upgraded. He told me he ran that at 15psi and it had like 360hp. I was like there is no way it has stock injectors and ecu but it just keeps lasting. Someone come over and take a look at it and go for a ride.


Quick Reply: could i run a 12.2
