750 horsepower is possible in for the 13b. Obviously with your current setup, you must have the resources to get you there. Very nice car. That turbo is insane. Are you planning on keeping it your street car/daily driver, or do you have other race/track inspirations? And where'd you get all the hoses and Earl's fittings?

His car's fast. When street racing, he's got to cheat, and jump on the second honk, just to get that damn turbo to spool up.

all i have to say is.....what a coincidence.

my car has the same body kit, almost the exact same color of blue...looks so close to yours.

here in a couple weeks i'll be dropping in a bridge-port with the T51 Kai on it also.

it's like looking into the near future, everything is polished, sleek lights, wing, blue seats.....my goal is hopefully 700whp...

have you been in my head lately or something?

700, I'm a little weary, but I will the best for you, I think that will be more power that rx7.com car, or at least last i heard it was.

haha my car will look very similiar to that in a couple of weeks as well. Except, I will have a gt 35/40 but the engine bay will be pretty much the same (polished wise). Since so many of you guys have the cwest front bumper, it might just push me to get the feed one. BTW, what intercooler are you using? How was the fitting?

So, what do you think your real horsepower numbers will be? You know, on pump gas because you can't afford to keep the tank full of C14 all the time, and with the boost turned way down so that you can drive on the street because it's your only car?

I've seen (on a vid) of an FD 13b dynoing 650 or 700hp) It's possible. What fuel? I have no idea.

Personally, I would have mounted my fuel pressure gauge in the car (like it is now ), but other than that nice setup

It's going to be my street/race/play car I bought all the lines and fittings from the local race shop. I could have gotten a better discount if I bought them online but I was kind of in a hurry.

How much did what cost? I've got about 600 in lines and fittings, then another 620 in pump/regulator/filter/relays. I did all the polishing/hacking and re-routing myself.

It's not a cheap job.

not 700, I said 750rwhp

I know it's a bit high but I've got high expectations and I'm willing to run whatever I gotta run to get there

Greddy 3 Row. I had to trim the bumper to fit and I'm pretty sure you have to trim the stock bumper alot to get it to fit. Other than that, it fits pretty well.

Well...poo

Shoot, if I had known you had a car like that I would have made a much larger effort to hop in the ol' Escort and come to some of those get-togethers over the past several months Ryan and I had joked about getting the 'Scort on the dyno to see if I could hit 50rwhp!!

And since I'm "this" close to getting my car back finally, do you offer your polishing services to others?

Nice car man, can't wait to see it person!

I drive the car quite a bit but not that much. I drive the other car when the weather isn't so nice. I'm tuning and setting the boost on kill. It will stay there and not come down. If I want to take it down to the store with 93 octane then I'll do that. I know when and when not to keep my foot out of the gas A good friend of mine went in on a barrel of race gas with me so I will have that at my convenience.

I think my real horsepower numbers will be somewhere in the 560-610 rwhp range this year. This 750rwhp goal of mine won't be achieved anytime soon, I know that I still know that it's achievable

I'll run a gauge into the cabin when it's dyno time but for now I have it set on 50psi base pressure so I'm good.



For now
