he is running a walbro 255 also which i didnt know about but other than that stock fuel system. his clutch was stock the reason i say was is because its sliping really bad and needs to be replaced.othe then that thats all thats done to the car. when he ran it at the track he was running 91oct mixed with 110oct.

 

I believe you can hit 11's with under 400 hp. I went non seq. boosting 11 psi with a 3" DP and no muffler. I also have a PFC. I ran 13.1 on bald street tires breaking loose at the end of first until mid 2nd gear. My 0-60ft. was like 2.9 sec. . But point being.... I bet with a good driver, intercooler and slicks I believe 11.9 would be achieved.

BS story sorry. 11.4 on a stock clutch. Now that's funny. Sounds like the guy is trying to rope you in as a client by lying about his own car.

Im sure it can be done. I talked to one guys who picked up an ss autocrome exhaust manifold for like 15 bucks (not a misprint), along with their wastegate for close to the same. If you dont mind using all shitty parts that have a high chance of failure, go for it. After all, when something brakes, it really isnt that expensive to fix.

Now, i definetely agree with Kevin about the stock clutch. It definately had to be upgraded.

SSautoChrome/XSPOWER (not to be confused with XS Engineering) and FAILURE in the same sentence? You don't say...

I hate the SSAutoChrome **** to, but the manifold in the picture was re welded, which is why it broke. (shitty weld) If you search on google, you'll find the thread on a honda forum, from the guy with the manifold in the picture. The owner stated he cut the flange off, turned it so he could fit a larger turbo, and stick welded it back on.

One thing to note in the picture, the braces should have held the turbo up, which they did not!

remember that thread i did on the ssautochrome manifolds and not one single person could show me a failed fd manifold? everyone says they're crap, but i've yet to see one break.

 

Oh geez, here we go again...

Just because it hasn't cracked, doesn't mean it's not a POS. You said yourself that the holes don't even line up, and IMO, that's crap. They also use thinner materials, and lower grade material, so again, IMO, this makes it a POS.

Since there are only a hand full on FD's, and not for very long, you can't really say wether they will hold up or not, so you can only go by what's listed above. Armed with that info, they are crap.

Now if you'd like to purchase one, stick it on your FD, and run it in several track events a month (drag racing, autocross, etc., not just hard street driving), for a year or 2, and it holds up, i'll be more than happy to give them credit.

Why go single when full non seq twins will do 11's at no cost if you DIY?

1. non seq...free
2. ebay down pipe $90.00 I've had one for 2 years and it's still holding up.
3. manuel cut-out $30.00 welded onto down pipe. "NO cat back needed"
4. ebay walbro pump $90.00. Proven to run in this hp range!
5. 1600cc secondary injectors and rail $260.00
6. manuel BC $10.00 works great.
7. ebay IC w/ebay IC piping kit.$300.00.
8. Clutch kit $400.00
9. Used Pettit unlimited $300.00
10. Tuning 200.00
11. Used E/T streets $100.00

Total around $1780.00.

Hmmmm not bad if you get creative.

 

Hmm......what's wrong with this picture?

 

we yea, they work but they're still crap because i say so!!!

i hacked the flange off of one and rewelded it back on at an angle so i could use it with my fc and i beat on it daily. never had a problem with it.

instead of just saying they're crap, why don't you just say ok, they work, but a $1500 manifold might hold up better over 10 or 12 years. you just sound like you've got a grudge.

 

11s on not only a stock clutch but a stock SLIPPING clutch....hmmm wonder what he might have got 10s if it wasnt slipping

 

well I am not super smart but I do know that if he tunes the nos fogger system he could run 9's!!! Playin, anyway if this $1200.00 11 second mod does work (which I wouldn't do it to find out) how dumb will he feel when he is on the side of the highway trying to get his fd on a flatbed, in the rain! I mean who does this. OK some cheap parts to cut corners because you know your saving for parts needed (ast, new radiator) ok but come on. Why dont he call ebay for a sponsorship!! haha that **** would be funny!

 

are you joking? its a FD it will see its fair share of flatbeds no matter what. im just saying as far as the manifold goes can anyone say they have had problems with there e-bay manifold. if so please post pics. because so far the only problem i have heard about it having to grind on them tho make them fit.

 

im sure you would feel even more stupid if you payed 4k for a hks kit and the compressor nut fell of on your turbo. do a search it has happend more than once.

 

^ it's no use. everyone's gonna say it's crap.

ok, it's crap. but it still works and i haven't seen one break yet

i think lots of guys are just looking for justification for spending so much on their stuff.

 

couldnt of said it better my self.

 

it wasnt slipping at the time but after launching with slicks many times its starting to go out.

 

I thought you said yourself the turbos and w/g's are crap?! Last time I checked, there's more to this setup than a manifold.

-Alex

 

Are you just ******* stupid or what? Since when are people not entitled to their opinion? Last time I checked, I clearly stated in my post that everything was my opinion.

Good for you! But as we all know, street driving isn't the same as taking the car to the track, I don't care how hard you drive it on the street. If someone can show it'll hold up to some serious track time, then i'll promote the damn thing myself.

How long did you run the ebay manifold for?

They do work, but you can't say they will hold up over time, and track use, because you don't have a damn clue. So all we have to go by, is what they're made of. So again, due to their thinner, and low qaulity material, they are crap compared to other manifolds. If these lower grade/thinner materials are so great, why the hell arn't Nascar, etc. etc. using them? After all, they are cheaper.

-Alex

 

You tell me!

 

I don't think you can run 1600cc injectors with the Pettit. I could be wrong though!

-Alex

 

That makes since.

 

I just noticed something else too...You can't have your pettit tuned. It already comes tuned!
