WTF? 14.6 @ 96mph
https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.php?t=435084
I purchased this car and only thing I have done is correct the vaccuum lines alittle(still a leak some where). Given that I do suck at launching this car. I haven't got a real chance to learn it yet; it only boost up to 8psi; even then the car shouldn't be that slow. My old s4 T2 had a s5 turbo and manifold, CS Exhaust and presilencer, FCD, walbro 255 ran a 13.88. This car is Street ported, bnr stage 1, 3rd gen fuel, 2.5" dp, apexi n1 exhaust, vaccuum leak, greddy 2 row fmic and it feels sluggish. on the upside, I can drift this mofo like no other. |
Fix the vaccum leak, and learn to launch the car :)
|
also the 2.5" DP it sounds crazy but I noticed a huge dif between the 2.5" and 3" DP also does it have bigger scondarys.....that could be a problem as well.
|
720 secondaries.
I couldn't imagine a vaccuum leak and 8psi could still make my car that slow. |
thats what I was boosting 8PSI on stock turbo and 2.5" exhaust then I upgraded to a 3" got a MBC and was running 12PSI, till the other night when I blew my 147,000 mile stock turbo.........now im going s5 turbo.
I was very suprised at the change from 2.5" DP to a 3". |
8 PSI isnt all that much, considering it took me 17 PSI to hit 12s.
|
You should be alot faster. My stock turbo, stock IC, T2 trapped 98.5 at 7psi.
|
you people dont make sense to me.
fix your car, run 13 or 14psi and be happy. 8 psi on that turbo is nothing. why upgrade turbos and only run 8psi? |

i listed what you need to do in order... fix yor car.... boost more.... you shouldnt be out racing with a bad vaccume leak. |
easier said than done....i wish i know where its coming from.
|
If you are wanting some help looking for the leak I'd be happy to help. I'm a little busy normally but I'm sure I can make some time to look at it. It sounds like the turbo is a little big to only be running 8 psi which is likely the cause of your disapointment.

bnr is not too big.
|
i ran a 13.2 on 11psi.
|
back in the day I trapped 102 with an stock port s4 jspec, stock turbo/ic, stock catback, 2.5" down pipe, running 11psi:)
unless your car is running 100% dont take it to the track, because you'll only let your self down, not to mention you join the "woulda-shoulda-coulda" crowd. |
jacob....buddy ole' pal. I should come down to louisville. Give me a hand ? :)
I don't know where to locate my vaccuum leak or have the tool to do so. |
the tool is a can of carb cleaner...
