That's just with the turbo? No other mods like exhaust? Did you run that on your stock wheels like you did on the dyno?

And that is at what psi? And are you still gonna increase the psi to see what gains you get? I only ask cuz I am thinking of buying this.

Those are some nice numbers.... Details please..

CarbonFly · 04-14-2003

hhmmmmm.......and how is this better than the stock LX that ran 15.6 quarter.......I don't think that turbo is all that much worth it at this point.

Intruder · 04-14-2003

did you miss the 2900ft elevation part? Those numbers look like good numbers.... With a little work on the 60' they could translate into high 14's at sea level....

reytito · 04-14-2003

i get the 15.466@91.139 but what do the rest of the numbers mean? i've never ran at the track B4. thx

i agree, those look like some sorry #s, but gotta factor in the elevation and wind against you. my thoughts: driving skills need definate work.

ya man... thats really not that impressive numbers. And these games are irritating. Heres want I want to know, 1. whp and torque. When you get max horsepower 2. How many pounds you are running 3. And the 1/4 mile run of a good driver. And I want them scanned, not typed. I think those are pretty reasonable expectations. Thanks.

Catalyst,

Good job on the car, my guess is your running about 7 psi.

You have about 180 whp. Those numbers at 2900 ft demonstrate a really stong motor. Timeslips are the worst way to determine horsepower.

ViNRoCk8 · 04-14-2003

so with good track conditions and and above average driver you guys think 15 flat..........

I am still not impressed.

I wanted a turbo but damn.........i would at least want to have a 14 second car. Thats not asking for too much.

Try looking at the old thread...

mmmmmmm some people don't get the 2900 elevation part. and yes with some better driving skills it would be possible to hit 14's with no problem actually it can be easily achieved. =]

devilvtec · 04-15-2003

congrats on the time

Catalyst · 04-15-2003

well, SOME of you people are stupid. I know that the car ran a 17.3 1/4 mile with a 2.4 60 ft., because there was a BONE STOCK 2002 lx at the track the same night as me. and as for my driving skills, that was my first race in over a year, and my second run had a 0.466 rxn time. And to answer the question about power and boost, i have 165 hp and 166 ft/lbs to the ground. And I am only running 6 psi. and yea, i have the stock exhaust, except for a 2 inch axel back.

I am going to run 9 psi on the dyno sometime soon. I am working on getting an ACT clutch (since their factory is about 1.5 miles from here), and then i will run it.
