Low to mid 11s for the gtrs I believe.

Giggity. Stock or built?

turbotalon1g · 07-16-2013

I've already run numerous 11.4s with the old setup.

I'm hoping to wrap up the steering rack stuff in the next week and then focus on the motor.

Then its time to decide what turbo. I could do 16G and run some SA class or for basically the same price go with a T4 61mm turbo and get to where I want to be.

The motor is a built motor, I need to get it on the stand asap.

**CornFed2.4** · 07-16-2013

Let me know when you need my lift

turbotalon1g · 07-16-2013

Bring it over any time. I could probably put it in this weekend since I only have plans friday night.

**Halon** · 07-16-2013

61mm yum... Wonder if you could find some SC/SCM61's for fairly cheap since everyone seems to only want billet bling nowadays.

I wish I could find one in a TS T4 housing, but I'm sure that either a unicorn or doesn't exist in the wild.

Go big or go home!

I thought that thing scooted real good last summer when I got a ride, can't imagine it with a big turbo!

93gtpeater · 07-16-2013

I vote t4.

turbotalon1g · 07-17-2013

Found a turbo for a great price, although I'm starting to doubt myself a bit after riding in cornfeds car and seeing the new developments in stock housing stuff.
It is a 0 mile rebuilt SC6152 with ceramic coated hotside.

**Halon** · 07-17-2013

Sweet! Assume you got it for a steal?

turbotalon1g · 07-17-2013

Better believe it. I actually am kinda regretting getting it but well I'll make it work I'm sure.

blackawdtsi · 07-17-2013

Good thing lag doesn't mean anything in autos.

turbotalon1g · 07-17-2013

^I'm not worried, not like I have no clue on what I'm doing or that I've continuously failed with DSMs.

blackawdtsi · 07-17-2013

That was a serious comment. Lag literally means nothing in an auto.

turbotalon1g · 07-17-2013

My bad, i'm used to you giving me shit.

Are you talking about from a roll?

I'm worried about dig/track racing now, esp. since the nitrous kit I was supposed to get sold. I really want a good trap speed but I'm seeing small bolt on turbos like 3076/3065 trap 137 with more room to go.

Luckily this is a fraction of the cost.

blackawdtsi · 07-17-2013

I'm talking digs. The 6266 setup needs to be limited for boost off the line. I'm sure the 6152 will be the same if you get a good converter.

I'd rather have a converter that only dropped 1500ish rpms to keep the motor in the powerband than having a tight ass one up top.

I'll say though, rolls surprisingly aren't bad without spray. But the converter is key.

turbotalon1g · 07-17-2013

oh ok. Yeah I'm looking into my converter options. I'm sure this year will be a wash for dig racing.

I'm sure you'll find a used 1g precision for dirt. You always seam to find the deals. Or just throw the credit card down on a bradco and Kiggly MIVEC conversion.

I cant wait to see this thing in action. My 61 was a blast with the auto. I think I went 102 in the 1/8th.

7/17/13:

Got my fittings in today (of course I didn't get a pic), put those in cleaned up the holes to be welded and my welder was out of gas.

Spent a lot of time trying to get my tie rod ends warrantied without a receipt that sucked. KEEP YOUR RECEIPTS PEOPLE!!!
That is where this thread came to the rescue, I was able to find the date of purchase and go from there.

Here are some pics from last weeks steering rack disassembly.
