V8s_are_slow

just wondering what any of you are getting with a T-78 in the 1/4. i know the turbo can put out, uh, what? 400 horsepower? i'm not sure what times are good for a 3rd gen with "x" amount of horsepower because the car is so light. just wondering what would be a good turbo choice to go with to get some good et's. at LEAST some 11's.....if a T-78 isn't good for AT LEAST 11's or lower, could someone tell me what turbos are good? thanks!

i searched for T-78 but there's a lot to look thru. thanks for any info.

my dual ball bearing 630+ horsepower turbo i'm about ready to sell (had plans for an awd eclipse) because i want an RX-7.....and probably run slower just to have a nicer looking car.

Ask Vosko what sort of times he's getting with his T78

i ran 12.01 @ 116 mph with a 1.773 60 FT last night. with the car not tuned @ 15psi..... once i tune it again, i should run 11's at 13psi

Man, I'm not trying to be ugly but if that is all the info you know you'r going to have a hard time getting a RX7 to "AT LEAST" the 11's

You can almost make 400rwhp with the stock twins which is good for about 11.0 - 11.3 in the 1/4 at around 120-122mph.

With a T78 your possibilities are almost endless for a street car.

Hell you can run 11's on stock turbo's with a stock motor.

ernie is 100% correct it isn't easy though. gotta be a good driver

well, i'm doing my research on these cars cause i AM new to "these" cars. i'm not new to performance modifcations though on other cars. i've gotta start somewhere on these cars though don't i?

i was just asking for the turbo's in general on this thread since the turbo's are usually the heart of the horsepower. need to know what to go with. heck, a t-25 on a dsm is only good for about 250 horsepower. which wouldn't get me into the 11's. i've discussed the other mods elsewhere. but anyway, thanks for the info.
