I'll agree somewhat... untily you started to come off as the "typical" FnF street boy racer. Asking for "slips" (what in the HELL is the fascination with these little pieces of paper!!!!)

I still say I personally would not feel comftorable driving a 350+ HP car for a while. I'm saying this with the text in my sig saying Im doing a TII swap. Yep.. sure am. My goal is 300 HP too. Won't get like that quickly though. By the time I can afford this swap (will stay at stock power for a while) I will have time to learn more about driving, do some autocrossing first to learn the limits of my car, maybe do some amateur SCCA later on. But I sure as hell wouldn't try to make my car 400 HP the SECOND week after owning it. I'm not your daddy, not going to tell you what to do. Just kinda tired of seeing A) news stories about teens/young adults dying in car crashes from stupidity... and B) people popping engines giving the rotary EVEN MORE of a bad rep due to.... guess what.... stupidity.

Yeah...i guess that i can see myself as comming off like ap unk 16 year old kid....i pay 400 bucks a month for that car...i just got it, i havent put a penny into it yet, i dont drive the living **** out of it...i got that all out of my system with my na fc....i understand the capablilities of the car and i just wanted to know if anyone would have a reasonable idea of what im starting with so i know what i need to get to make safe and reliable power....didnt mean to make a huge fuss...sorry

 

im pretty new to this forum...i really dont want to get a bad rep for messing up threads and such..sorry about that

 

Fast forward 3 months and some big tittied 17 year old is creaming herself just to get a ride, then you revert to the stupid 17 year old mentality and **** up........lol, I know from experience.........u don't need a fast car.......i "upgraded" from a 90 corola to an 88 gxl to a 90 GTU to my T2 and I still fucked up.......ok so my rear swap bar link was broken and i lost it in an emergency maneuver, but i still fucked up.........do not fall for the powr of the *******..........they will ruin a man.

 

i really dont ever get on it on city streets and all that...for one because its illegal. secondly i got a 285 CNI for powersliding the na fc...and its just dumb...i wouldnt ever want to risk smashing my car or accidentally hitting someone else...its really not that big of a deal if someone thinks im a puss because i dont lite the tires up until the blow off the rims... i autox everynow and then, i usually get it all out there on an open coarse...no ditches, only cones

 

lol easier said than done, take care of yourself and your 7............imagine the worst hapenning.....that should keep you from doing anything too stupid......

 

Totally agree with that. Make sure you don't screw it up, learn to drive it first, then start having fun with it. It does take a while to get used to the power of a modded TII if you've never driven one before.

I started learning to drive on my dads 240sx. Then bought my own 1990 NA, blew the motor, got a new motor with streetport and exhaust and some other mods. Drove that for quite some time and got used to that car. Then bought my TII, and after 3-4 months of owning it I am still not used to the kind of power and acceleration it has. It takes time to get used to controling it properly and not screwing up big time and ditching it or into a pole or something.

i know all about the 18psi, stock turbo, stock IC, stock injectors, engine go boom senario. i have a vid of my boost guage going to 20psi in 4th and 5th gear. did it for several months before i lost compression.

here's the clip of me boosting 18+.
like i said, stock injectors, stock turbo, stock IC, stock ecu, blah blah, only have intake, exhaust, and streetport.

best 1/8 is 9.1 @ 81.55

oh, and just for ***** and giggles - G-Tech Pro said i had 235 at the wheels.

 

The motor was just put in the car, it has about 2 grand on it....i absolutely cannot afford to put a new motor into it, so ill puttt around until i can get that fmic (gettin paid 200 a week and having to give a 100 of it away for the car payment) it might be a while...

that link didnt work for me...

 

I have never had very good luck pushing the stock carbon seal over 15psi.  So even if you're running a compressor upgrade of hybrid, you're most likely still using the carbon seal.

maybe this one will work, i think the server is down or something....

nm, it no worky either

 

Just don't crash and die, that would break my ******* heart.

Just ride it very lightly. And listen to what some of these guys have to say about the FMIC.I hope you know what an FMIC is? And how much work it is to do? Without that, you will have a blown engine, and about 800 bucks down the drain(that is how much my seal kit would cost, don't give me any **** about how much a TII kit is, cause I don't give a flying ****).

THANKS!

I will just say this I am 18 and two years ago I was driving around my dad's 300+ HP Talon. You can have all the fun you want until something bad happens, and this event most likely will change your opinion on things drastically. It was my privilege to drive my dad's car, and what did I do, I went and smoked some supercharged truck and then got pulled over. Talk about loss of lisence. I would say just don't pull a me, and get busted even if you live in the sticks... because I do too. Also you sound like you have some knowledge of cars, I would turn the boost down for street use, and then throw in a FMIC. You'll thank yourself later,when you have your car, life and license... Just personal experience.. I can say I many times the better driver now that I had stupid **** happen. I save it for the track.

 

ok, hosted my vid on www.movie-host.net i think. anyway, here's the link to the vid of 18+psi. with only intake, exhaust and streetport on S4.
