Go and find out for yourself. That is if your track is still open.

High 15s. First time out you probably won't be very good. (I know I wasn't) Where do guys get 13 and 17?

Well my s4 jspec conversion smoked a s4 TII and we had similar mods too. Exhaust, intake, bov, all I had was a TID. I roasted the **** outta him, we decided it was the weight difference.

I'm confused! Rxspeed87 and chris are your cars Turbo or NA? Rxspeed87 in your profile it says 87 sport but you said you had TID.

kleach

it is an 87 sport

but I think the coolant seals are going..... loosing coolant and when I open the rad cap I see a lot of little bubbles

so I am putting a s4 TII into the car since I want turbo power and it seems to be just about as much, minus the drivetrain (which is going to remain N/A for the time being)

in n/a form I was running a 16.4 every single time I ran at the track

and on the g-tech I was running the same though I did dip it down into 16.2 or 16.1 once or twice



hoping for least high 14's

but I'm afraid to do much for mods till I get rid of the tranny. and I also hope the fuel system will give enough juice to the motor to run right as well

With a healthy motor and good driving you should be able to get the car in the 14.5 range. 15.0 should be the net for a healthy STOCK TII and I'm sure the DP adds a bit of boost...of course to get the most from the car you'll have to be hard on it

wtf?!? I've got a '90 TurboII with a J-spec and a custom ghetto (non-mandrel bent) exhaust ONLY, running 5.5 lbs of boost (the DSV doesn't open I don't think), and the sucker ran 14.1 @ 100mph.. ON FIVE POUNDS BOOST!!! Unless my motor is like some wacked out motor, ported or something (which I seriously seriously doubt) then you're looking at least in the 14's if not 13's.
