Default Just got a call from a Happy customer ... 12.3 1/4 stock gsr with Spark Racing Turbo Kit

The other day I got another call from a happy customer for the Island State of Hawaii... His first words were O **** O **** lol. Keep In mind this is a 1996 Honda Civic H/B Stock GSR motor stock injectors stock clutch stock everything w/ spark racing turbo kit . He put some rubber bands slicks on and decided he take it to the local track 12.4 firsts pass 12.3 seconds pass. I love hearing this from my customers. I admit my kit is not the easiest kit out their to install but after is done is way worth it. The lowest eta reported to date is 11.7 eta in the quarter mile with a stock gsr motor in a 1995 integra slick done fully stock... Quarter Mile Times range from low 12sec on GSR motor swaps to Low 13sec etas running B16... Just taught I let the true be known.

Kit Consist of the following

Spark Racing 4 into 1 SUS304 Stainless Steel Equal Length Tubular turbo exhaust manifold
Innovative T3/T04E Turbocharger assembly 60 trim / Stage III
Tial Waste gate 35mm (8.7 PSI Spring)
Spark Racing Front Mount intercooler w/ polished cast aluminum end tanks 29x10.5x2.75
BLITZ Super Blow Off Valve
Spark Racing Aluminum Intercooler Charge Piping
Spark Racing Mandrel bent Stainless Steel 2.5" high flow down pipe
Spark Racing waste gate dump tube Stainless Steel
255 gph High pressure/High volume intake fuel pump
Vortech Boost dependent FMU fuel regulator
Intake air filter assembly
Map sensor bypass (Missing Link)
Stainless steel braided oil feed line w/ fittings
Oil return assembly
All necessary hardware and fittings
All necessary hose and T-Bolt clamps
All necessary gaskets

My spark kit is going on in 2 weeks! I am hoping to hit 12's, but an 11.99 would be nice!

Nice numbers.
Maybe I should've bought one of your kits...then I'd actually have a turbo/manifold/downpipe to put on...*cough* Super-T Motorsports *cough*.

and the fuel pressure must be crazy high - 8.7*12 = 104.4 + base (~36 psi) is 140 psi of fuel pressure, can your intank pump supply that?

You will be getting a email from me aswell within the next month. Just mocking up the motor right now but I am looking for 400-500whp.
This is my heavily braced Sparks Racing mani with a Tial wastegate and SC61 turbo. I have a point to prove with this manifold. As simple as these 3 parts look, it took me almost a hour to put them together and clock the turbo.

He's not advertising. He's simply telling us about a turbo kit he installed in a consumers car and told us what the result was.

I dont see anything wrong with that.
