to return the car back to stock, sell parts and get a gs-x of which the history isn't known...i say money loss
seems that way to me anyway. I realize that the gs-x is awd, but i thought Travis was pretty set on his gs-t.
- Mike - 07-28-2004
i don't care what he's set on... drag racing an fwd with heavy power is an enormous waste of time. especially when there are much better alternatives (a gsx) readily available. perhaps he's on some crusade to prove the world wrong, but if so he's doing a bad job of it (high 13s with a 110+ trap).

Mike, I know not all of us have actually done the work on our cars, but when you have you don't just return it back to stock and buy a different car because it's not hitting the e.t.'s just yet. A full second can be cut with the right traction oriented mods, and I have plans to go bigger in the power department.
GSX's are also known to break transmission and drivetrain parts like it is their job. So I think I'll stick with my car, the one I've poured my energy into and when the 12 second slips come you'll have the pleasure of knowing a fwd car that can run with a z06 from a stop.

This is not fair, your number changes every time someone posts a higher number.

I assume that is a stab at me because my swap was done when I bought the car? Meh, whatever, saved a bundle doing it that way. I'll be doing the next swap.

i know of plenty, none of them using boost

^ daily driven street car. No you don't.
And I'm not taking stabs. I'm just pointing out that I'm past the point of no return. Switching cars is an option sure, but it isn't easier.

KPWSerpiente Wrote:I love how everyone's got tips on how I should drive. Yes, I steer clear of the water box, yes I slip the clutch, yes I wait until 3rd gear before going full throttle. Yes I need suspension badly, urethane motor mount inserts wouldn't hurt either. And yeah, slicks are also in the very near future to help me pull those 60 foots closer to you awd guys.
I don't use the stutterbox. I tried that + antilag at the track once and I'm sure you can imagine the results. I launch at 3,5/4k, completely based on feel. Yes I use the no lift to shift for the 2/3 and 3/4 shifts.
And you think I'm going in there with 300 wheel horsepowr? And coming out with just 5 more? I can see someone has no faith in my tuning abilities.

Everyone's just trying to be helpful. What tires are you currently using and how much air pressure is in them?
It's not that I don't have faith in your tuning abilities. Actually, I just think it'll be hard to get much more out of your current setup without other supporting mods, but you could very well prove me wrong. I hope you do.
Now that you've told me your WG leaks at 19 psi, I'm even more inclined to stick with my estimates.
Have fun on the dyno...

actually my old mechanic dave at capitol heights drove a b18c5 heavily modified, but it was his daily driver and it got 12.92 et, not sure what the trap was. but i remember watching him at mir about 3 years ago

Also, compression test results from earlier today, read from 4 to 1:
180, 180, 175, 176.

Now, you know... if someone really wanted to be an ass, they could guess something like 600 hp :wink: but we wouldn't do that to Mike!

Same tires that I'm using. I like them quite a bit for the price, but I'm going back to Potenzas after I'm done with the 712s.
KPWSerpiente Wrote:My wastegate does not leak. It blows open at high rpms because of it's enlarged surface area.
I hate to be the one to break this to you again, but... your wastegate leaks. You just told me it did... twice. I have taken the liberty of removing all ambiguities for you:
leak v. intr. - To permit the escape, entry, or passage of something through a breach or flaw
breach n. - An opening

Good numbers. I would venture to guess that you have a layer of carbon on each piston.
