i was just wondering how reliable would a fully modded FC be.

and how many people on this fourm are using them as daily drivers.

 

I

355 rwhp @ 6800 (had to back off)

 

how is the reliablity? and what kinda 1/4 miles are you putting down?

 

i think soul assassin uses (or used) his FC as a daily driver...and he ran a 10.6 i believe

 

yep it is actually snowing its *** off right now so it s a 500hp snow plow! lol! i use it everyday and have had no problems with it,only thing is i have to run sillencers for every day commuting it is to damn loud with out em!!

 

That's alot of power for a little FC.:p

 

I have see one at a car show with 500hp. Very sweet!

 

I don't know how much power my car is making because I haven't dynoed it, but I use it every day. I'm sure it's making over 400 HP, but I can't say anything until I put it on a dyno. I'm just waiting for a dyno day so I don't have to pay $225.

 

Soul Assissin is my hero! God, that car is the most beautiful pice of machienery I have ever laid eyes on!

 

thanks for the compliments, going for 550RWHP in the spring on pump gas

 

going for 26 PSI, or what? What PSI were you running for the 520RWHP?
I am considering making a Supercharged monster with a beautiful exterior so people will have something else to gawke at on the site, hehe.

 

Im also going to go for 550 horsepower daily driven once i get a t2 but once i hit 550 im gettin an N/A and supercharging it for my new daily driver gotta keep driving those high horsepower rexes

 

432rwhp @ 15psi....

Never had it fully tuned... Just slapped it together and ran around on the streets with it last summer... My current project should yield more power than a certain someone on here, cough cough soul assassin cough, ohh excuse me... ... No hard feelings out, but its war! And it is my only car so yes, i will be driving it everyday to and from where ever i go. I will start posting pics soon of my setup, still collecting parts, i will begin the building in a week or so.

 

ME ME ME, I probally have about 300hp at the motor since my G-Tech says I have 287 at the wheels. I drive mine everyday and dont have any prolbems.

 

Nice numbers you guys are all puttin down. One question though, what types of turbos are all of you guys running and how much psi (daily and race settings)?

Thanks a bunch,

Gomer

 

I put 294 to the wheels so im sure of 300+ to the flywheel. Problems.....well...the only problem I have is nobody wants to race when they pull up next to me. I guess its the black rims and front mount.

 

Oh?!

 

What?

 

mine should be in the lower 400's once i finish getting the gremlins out of it...............if i keep it long enough. if someone offered me the money right now though id almost definately sell the car and move on (after owning 6 FCs its about time)

at any rate, the relevant mods are: FMIC, T60-1 BB, Haltech E6K 1600cc secondaries, full 3 inch, 3.75in GT Spec catback, etc etc etc etc etc

 

that will be at 25 psi for the 550 i hit 520 at 20 psi

 

you will never be as cool as me!
first off i will have you beat just because i have a HKS tranny and a amemiya front clip! i could have 300 hp and still smiz ya since you have no skills as a driver!
let the war begin there little fella
did i tell you the kai is on the way?

 

Hey man, im workin on it ok... Im tryin to get the front end some time this decade, and you can keep your hks, im going mullet style tranny, g-force, jerico... one of them.

And you still dont have the secret port! hahaha.

 

Bump

Gotta keep this thread alive cause i feel that some good info could come from this one. so keep on postin

 

Reliability... don't let anyone fool you. You MUST have it tuned properly. If you are running too rick, you will drowned your engine and it will last half as long as it could have. If you run it too lean, it will detonate and blow...

Tuning it is VERY important. It requires, in my opinion, at LEAST a wideband oxygen sensor... and most likely some dyno time.

my 355 @ the wheels was kind of disappointing... but I know what the problems were.

First off, I had an 20 psi spring in the wastegate... Thats not what I ordered, but thats what it came with. I had to back off on the run because of overboosting.

Secondly, the Racing Beat turbo back system is too restrictive. I'm ditching it this winter and going with a custom 3" exhaust and dynomax muffler or something similar...

Also, the intake on my car was pretty restrictive. I was using a Greddy FMIC kit that has 16 bends BEFORE the throttle body. I've since sold that system. I am putting a 3rd gen intake on and going with a custom spearco setup similar to what Inital D has... I may also ditch the 60-1 and go wtih a T-66 :-D

 

it seems like a lota people are boostin around 20 psi to get into the 350-450 hp range. are you guys still running on 2mm apex seals? and do you run 20 psi everyday or turn it down while your going to work etc....
