Whats it take for the T2 to run atleast 12's-13's? I haven't toyed around with any rotary..right now I have an s13 240 waiting for an sr..but i am interested in fixing up a T2.. I might even trade in the s13 to add a little to my project funding.. but anyway..whats the most cost efficient way to run atleast low 13's?

 

300HP should get you into the low 13's / high 12's. You'd need fuel system upgrades (pump, rails, injectors), boost controller, exhaust & air intake upgrades, and a fuel cut defender.

You might want to just go straight to an aftermarket ECU. Get some gagues as well.

 

...drag radials!

 

a friend of mine has a 88 10th ann. that runs mid-high 12s. He has put $600(US) into mods for it. Yes, only 600. He has intake and exhaust, a few gauges, and a FCD. nothing else. his car is very fast for what he has done to it. He still uses stock fuel system. I don't recommend doing what he did- I am a lot safer with my mods. So far though, he hasn't had a problem.

and how long has it been running?....

leaner is faster but it won't last too long.

 

Ya I don't see needing 300rwhp to get in the low 13s. I mean thats about 125 more rwhp than stock. With the lighter cars we have, the HP goes further. Drop a few hundred lbs & add 75rwhp and you should be on your way to 13s I would think.

 

I can hang neck to neck with my friends new Mustang Corba. All I have is RB turbo back, 680cc, FPR,intake, no AC,PS.

 

new pump and injectors? i thought the fc had 4 550cc injector.. which is supposedly good enough up to that?..oh and its gonna be my daily driver so i wouldnt sacrifice realibility over it..i need good clean reliable hp.. i have experience with working with pistons..but never worked with any rotary.. so i hardly know anything that goes in it.. besides..two triangles.. would a rebuild be necessary? it should help..how much would one go for? or can i do this myself? what parts would i need to replace the older parts?

 

im supposing this is on an upgraded turbo?.. or would the stock turbo do? what are fairly decent sized turbo for the 13bt?

 

hey your in portland! sup man. what does your car look like? where ya live around?

 

you'll be pushing the stock turbo and injectors pretty hard at 300hp (flywheel) you will need bigger injectors to run there, which also means a bigger pump. you will also need a bigger IC at basicly anything over 250hp or so. rebuilding the engine would help, but rebuilding and porting at the same time will help alot. a bigger t04 turbo will get you into the 400+ range if you have the fuel to back you up. but it's not cheap.

talk to www.pineappleracing.com there are in your area and can help you alot.

 

13's will be easier than 12's turborotor got a 13.7@99.99 mph last week. with stock engine, haltech, full exhaust, intake, stock intercooler, and 720cc secondaries, walbro pump. if you want 12's you will all that and a FMIC, 850cc-1200cc secondaries., upgraded turbo. you might hit 11's with all that though

 

I tend to agree, fastrotaries '89 dynoed at 207hp at the wheels, and he runs 14.1 with awful 60 ft times at the Wall outside San Angelo , TX. I think at a better track (or maybe a better launch?). He sould be solid in the 13's.

PS this is on the stock engine, turbo and intercooler with worn out drag radials.

just my $.02

 

Last season I ran a 13.7 with a blown engine.

i have alot done to my car and i just recenty upgraded the turbo to a t04b and put on the new greddy front mount, hks , ignition,720cc secondaries, and a tt supra pump. Before that i ran a 13.2 @104. That was last year. Now that i added all that stuff except the intercooler i ran 12.8 @105, 108, and 109. After the intercooler install i ran a 12.8 @115,12.7 @116, and a 12.6 @116....this is all without a boost controller also. the boost bounce all over the place. Without slicks its hard to run good times. im getting a pair of slicks and then it should run an 11. if not......anybody want to buy a car....... laterz

 

whats an fcd? what are good times to run on gxl? can it make it to 13s?

 

my best time is a 13.5 w/stock turbo@13psi on street tires. my 60 foot time was a bad 2.1 and rear hop

 

An FCD is a resistor that tells the engine computer that you're running less boost than you actually are, to avoid hitting the boost cut.

A GXL would be tough to get into the 13s without some form of forced induction, but anything's possible with enough $$ and time.

 

I'm gonna be shooting up to Oregon sometime before Christmas. We are setting up a division out there.

I would say that 13's with an N/A would only be possible by Bridgeporting or Peripheral Porting and going with a carburated setup. No more Fuel Injection. Racing Beat is almost done producing the carburated intake manifold kit for the 6 ports. I'm waiting for that. Oh yeah, drivetrain issues though. Get T2 stuff and a tach cause you'll continue to pull through the 9k rpms.

That's what I'm doing with my 88 GXL. The 89 T2 is going to have the T3/T4 hybrid with F-Con and stuff and the widebody 89 T2 is going to be all custom setup for roadracing at club events and possibly circuit when I can afford to sponsor a driver.

Race All motor with a 1.3 pushing 300 bhp, damn that's some ****.

 

hey can i have a job? when you open?
