i have had my car turboed for about one month now and it doesnt seem like it pulls as hard as my friends turboed b18 so i go out to the track last ngiht and it was my first time racing on a track but i run a 16.5 with a 2.9 60 then i turned the boost up to 12 then i ran a 16.3 with a 3.0 60
i have all mandrel 2.5 in intake piping but off of the turbo i have a radiator hose elbow then i have garrett t3t4 57 trim .63 ar housing 2.5 in dp all the way back(im in the process of finishing my exhaust so its an striaght 2.5 off the dp with no cat or resinator for fuel i have lucas 440 cc injectors and im using the uberchip tial wastgate a log manfold and its on a stock b18a1
if you have any ideas let me know

Thats outright horrible. You should be almost trapping that without being boosted. You sure your charge pipes are connected? Are you getting a reading on your boost gauge?

something or several things are majorly wrong

are you throwing codes?
do you get spark and fuel in all of the cylinders?
charge pipes connected? you have a boost gauge?

my friend had a very shitty set-up. jg race cams, gn turbo & i/c, 450cc injectors, log manifold, shitdyne brass ecu, b18a w/ls tranyy etc. he ran a 14.3 on 17" rims, but his trap speed was 104mph (at 8 psi, i believe). his set up was utter **** and he still ran 104mph. i have no clue what is wrong with your car, but with a 93mph trap, i would say your turbo ain't working. holla back

something is definately wrong! I'm running 15.0@93mph with an LS motor in my EG hatch NA....with just bolt-ons. I'd have it checked out.


Did you run that 1/4 in reverse?!

something is wrong big time..those times are almost identical to my stock D16A6 Si times I was gonnna say your turbo is seized but since your seeing boost that is not the problem so now I got my money on the clutch,My guess is that your clutch is toast.

Is your car an auto? 3.0 60' is truly some bad driving if it's 5-speed.

First get some tires or learn to drive. I've had some horrible launches and even just messed up on purpose and never got anything close to a 2.5 60ft and you ran a half a second slower than that! Also 150 on all 4 cly is very low, does your car burn any oil?

ok we get the point the kid is a newbie driver,, theres no need to rip his ****,,,,hes asking for help,, ok first check the clutch, i had a similiar incident where i was actually spinning my clutch bad as hell, because in the staging lanes i was just ****** around and playin with my clutch (for example inching up in line, riding the clutch) anyways if your clutch heats up then unless its a dual diaphram,, it looses grip, then next i would check the leakdown in each cylinder,,,what are your plugs gapped to? is your car detonating at all? is it hesitating? what kind of tires are you on? also look at your 60ft times this way here&gt;&gt;&gt; if you pulled a 2.0 60ft you would have prob ran 2 seconds faster netting you some 14.0-14.3 timeslips,,, generally every tenth you loose in the 60ft , looses 2 tenths in your time up top, but i cant explain your MPH though,,,, that might be the clutch if its stock, check those things out though,

you can tell if it's going bad if it doesn't grab right away.
