KA-t 1/4's

Heh, 240hp isnt much at all. You need to be in the 300's like me

i know theres lots of variables but what do you think i could run in the queter mile with the nsport kit,or what kind of cars could i beat i.e. 97-02 z28 etc.im try to get an idea of how fast my car would be with the nsport turbo kit ,to see if its worth the 4,000 it would cost?

[ROB240]

I dont have anything against helping newcommers, I just get a little bent out of shape when someone posts a question that has nothing to do with the thread and then when people say to use the search funtion, the noob gets all pissy. Anyways, no hard feelins.

[scotty-2-forty]

Well, I didn't think you were being snotty ... just excited about your 240! Right? I will agree that new questions should be posted as a stand alone, but I really disagree with being rude to those who have a question and can't seem to get an answer. Were just all trying to get or give some info on these boards and I find it better just to help rather than scold. I would find it difficult to believe that we would be rude to each other if we were all sitting in a room together rather than hiding behind PCs. My opinions, take it or leave it.

Anyway, the "kit" in my picture is not an off-the-shelf kit. It is fully custom piping, exhaust manifold, right down to the injectors. The turbo itself is a Mitsubishi 25G (GReddy) and the intercooler is a spliced truck front mount with custom end tanks. A lot of work/research went into this system which was in a friend of mine's car, soon to be in mine (engine is out waiting for machining). The car dyno'd at 490whp, 475ft/lbs tq ... but I've got a few advantages over what he had that should push well over 500whp.

Have you tried to download the virtual engine program?? An S14 240SX weighing approximately 2820 lbs making approximately 240hp (Nsport Stage 1 estimates) will approximate 13.92 seconds @ 96.7mph in the 1/4 mile, not factoring the "variables" (... launch, shifts, weather, track conditions, etc. ...).

Is $4000 worth the money? The real questions are, "How fast do you want to go? How much can you afford?" ... You be the judge.

Hope this helps.

[donovan]

thanks for the info and sharing your opinion scotty,its good to see at least one person on this site is willing to help,your custom turbo kit looks knarly,500whp thats sick.:ylsuper talk to ya later,and thanks again.

[95_240sx]

At about 13.5 your really getting faster than most stock cars. As my car sits right now at 14psi I can move away from a Viper that cruises around my town, and corvettes, camaros are no problem, although, watch out for firehawks...

Rick

what kind of turbo kit do you have,or what kinds of mods.1im still trying to decide which kit to get ,f-max,xs enginering,or nsport?

[TurboKA37]

hes running his own custom kit with a T0B and stand alone managment

[Nathan]

Check out http://www.import-autoperformance.com also...Marc is a great guy to deal with and offers a kit that might be in line with what you are looking for, if not...you could put together just about anything you wanted through him. I'll tell you how his manifold looks IN PERSON in about a week when it shows up As well as his oil lines etc. (I didn't get his whole kit, just bits and pieces)

[95_240sx]

Yeah, Im thinking of upgrading to a bigger turbo and making my car a full race issue 240...anyone have any suggestions?

Rick

[95_240sx]

Oh, By the way, I have an update on the videos, we finally got around to trying to get them done and we couldnt get any sound on them, we have to buy some special cord or something to hook up to the laptop, will try and get them tomorrow. We will also soon be making some kind of a compilation video about 10min long of me completely messing around drifiting, burnouts, in car vids, dragstrip runs, freeway runs, and stupid shiznit, which were going to start working on tomorrow.

Holyshiznit: Im going to woodburn on friday for the street legal drags, hit me up at [email protected]

Heya Donovan, Sorry I wasn't keeping a closer eye on this thread. I would have replied earlier. Your questions are more then welcome here. If you can't find the answers feel free to email me at home. [email protected]

Scotty, thx for helping out here...

Scotty, thx for helping out here...it gets hard keeping an eye on all the children somtimes.

no reason to descend to our level by making comments like those. i do apologize for coming off so rude but half of this could have been avoided had donovan actually taken 5 minutes just to try and figure out how the board works. someone even gave him a link to a virtual engine and then it was suggested he use the search function but instead he kept asking the same question over and over again even though it was explained to him more than once how to start his own thread. He was still given quite a bit of good info depsite the rude remarks I or anyone else may have made. I think ignorance is no excuse for repeatedly posting like donovan, but then again it doesn't matter what i think because i'm not a moderator. I am sorry for how i acted though.

[float_6969]

vids. We want vids....

[SloS13]

Yeah, hook us up with some vids or we will bang our silverware on the table.

BTW - Vegas 4.0 is a good vid editing software

Not the best video, but you can hear the announcer say my time at the end of the run.

Rick

[klattr1]

what a video!How well did u prepare your BFG drag radials?Which kind did u end up getting? comp ta drag radials or gforce or what?i wish i had more weight transfer.Where did u dump the clutch at cuz im wanting to get BFG's for when i go to the strip but i dont want to break drivetrain parts.thanksvery nice once againyou hit the 12 sec mark just like your signature said you were hoping for!

[klattr1]

what was your 60 ft on that 12.8 run or what was your best 60 ft on all the runs also?

[95_240sx]

1.91 60ft, which i run consistently. I get pretty rad tire hop and chatter off the line, which I DONT like, they are the gforce, and are now pretty much slicks.

Rick

[klattr1]

thats a good 60 ft.i have wheel hop too!i dont know if its bad struts or if i need to make some bushing changes or subframe spacers.who knows, but great 60 ft and quarter.i can wait until you turn it up to 17 or 20 psi!

[MainEvent212]

i wish i was you...

[95_240sx]

Im going to 18-20psi on friday night on race fuel. Looking for 12.2 or faster...

Why do you wish you were me?

Rick

[TurboKA37]

cuz he wants ur car. nice u finally got the videos up. what car is that that was in the other lane?

[95_240sx]

It was a 2nd gen GSX, blew his doors off. Every car I raced, I beat by at least one full second or more, and all but one were v8's

Rick

[HolyShiznit]
