A guy wanted to buy my Frank3 Turbo so I put on the GT35R with the new tubular header manifold, Tial WG, Spearco FMIC, Tial BOV (open atmosphere) and took off for a drive. All I can say is HOLY DAMN! I didn't hook up the Wastegate correctly so I was accidently boosting to 38psi according to DSMlink but I ripped all 4 tires loose in 2nd gear!!!! Thank god I didn't blow a hole through the side of the block.

Now I need to settle down on the gas and wait for the 2.3L to be dropped in...this is going to be sick!

That'll be one HELL of a car when that new motor is in there and tuned.

it is give and take. cant have both.

i cant wait until i get some money so i can throw some decent parts on my car. until then, i am a member of the 14b racing club. projecting 12's this year, if im LUCKY, 11.9999999999. doubtful.

I know the feeling! A local here has a 1g 2.3l with the gt35r, hits boost @ 2800 rps, man that thing is quick.

'95 GSX - Big16G ~ Leaks, but atleast it runs.

I will definitely not be hitting full boost at 2800 rpms... I have a .63 a/r exhaust side and I have been told on a 2.0L it will hit full spool around 4300 and the 2.3L should hit about 500 rpms quicker.

___________________________________

I have a 2.5" downpipe to the flex, then 3" into a 3" high flow cat, 2 resonators and my N1 muffler. But I still have a bit of an exhaust leak at the catback so maybe that will help things out a bit too, but the header definitely gave the car a new sound.

Where in the RPM range are you spooling right now?

Right now I am starting to spool around 3500 and fully spooled around 4500 maybe on 15psi.

SWEET setup. What kind of #'s have people been putting out w/ a similiar setup?

2009 Corolla S - waiting until 2012 for my next toy!
*SOLD* 1992 3000GT VR4 - pearl white and 45,6xx miles!
*SOLD* 2007 Subaru Legacy GT sedan
*SOLD* 95 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 - BPU
*SOLD* 97 Eclipse GS Star Stage 2

I don't know about on the 2.3 but a lot of guys are getting burried into the 400's on pump gas AWD with a built 2.0L. My main controlling factor will be my injectors, which are going to be 950's, which I already have, but I'm going to tune to 15psi with 650's first. After I get my injectors on, my tune will control how much power I get, which I'm not that great at tuning, but I do it good enough to run stoich, and not blow anything up.

Dan...turn that shit up to 25psi and quit being a pussy....lol.

Only reason I'm not turning it up is because I don't have my wideband hooked up yet, or my boost controller. I'm just running off the 1bar spring in the wastegate right now.

Don't worry about that. I have every intension of running the car at 20-22psi daily and a race gas mix for road racing and dyno runs. Don't expect any time slips though, I've got better things to spend my money on than another tranny or clutch.

You'll definately spool quicker than 3000 rpm on a 2.3L. You're ball bearing. When they say 500 rpm faster, they mean with wet bearing turbos.

Throw some meth injection on there and turn up the boost!

http://www.1320video.com/vids/3.11vr4dyno.wmv they have a vr4 with some turbo (dono) but dyno'd like 450 and they cut the muffler off and it made 515 or some shit. make a straight pipe exhaust you wont regret!

damn, that mani almost caught on fire at 35psi. So nice.

Why are they not running a radiator in that VR4

And what was going on with that muffler? Did it reduce down causing a bottle neck!?

So it's just going to be a dyno queen? Weak...

I only need one trip to find out what it has on a dyno. I'm building the car for road racing. There is more to life than drag racing There is a group of guys here in Phoenix that have a club racing high end cars. Porsche, Ferrari, Z06, things of that nature on the inner track at Phoenix International Raceway. I'm planning on getting into that to see if I can play with the big boys. Drag strips are for high schoolers and people who have tons of money to drop on trannys, clutches, diffs. I've got better things to spend my money on.

Roadracing isn't hard on a clutch at all. You have one launch, and all the rest of the shifts are heel & toe - no different than daily driving. Roadracing is easier on the driveline (clutch to the wheels) but probably harder on the engine itself (sustained high rpm's). The dyno is for tuning and getting numbers to brag with. It's hard to quantify power with lap times...

I think thats badass you are building the car for roadracing rather than a beast at the track. And I can agree with you on some of your viewpoints. I just think its crucial that you put a rollcage in the gsx. Is that mandatory though when you race on tracks?
