Hey guys, I have pulled 14.33 on the 1/4 mile and I have the convertable with the turbo kit and with a slipping automatic tranny. Im hoping next weekIm swapping my tranny to a standard with a duel force clutch and hoping to get at least high 12's , but Im also doing port and polish etc.etc.etc.

a slipping auto tranny? well when compaired to a 5spd tranny, all autos slip, because they are not directly connected to the engine. but usually, if an auto tranny is "slipping", it means it is at the brink of death or already dead. btw are you intercooled? from your pics it looks like you just put on the burien kit and started boosting 10psi invest in an intercooler, that will not only add a little more power, but it will make everything safer for the engine. -------------------- 1994 Celica GT4 WRC Edition

 I don't know what to say. You must have a t3 turbo, running 20 psi, on a built 5sfe motor. And on an automatic?? Can I see a time slip? Normally, 1/4 mile times look like 14.333. There are 3 places after the decimal. I guess you've never been to an actual drag strip? What was your mile per hour, and 60 ft time.

he has the burien turbo kit.
but i doubt that a tranny swap, port and polish and new clutch will drop your time into the 12's. at 10psi, i dont doubt mid to high 14's, but when you start getting that fast, it gets harder and harder to shrink your times This post has been edited by 97sccelica: Aug 11, 2003 - 2:55 AM -------------------- 1994 Celica GT4 WRC Edition

I don't think you understand how fast a low 14 second run actually is. It's not just quick, it's very fast. And not possible with the 5sfe motor with a turbo kit at 10 psi. He's not going to drop his 1/4 mile time by over 2 seconds after adding a turbo kit on with street tires. At 10psi he will spin the street tires. His 60ft times will be around 2.5 and his 1/4 times are in reality high 15's. He probably used that retarded g-tech that measures how fast you are going. I believe him as much as I believe the guy that hit high 14's in his st. Why lie about it. |

The time was 14.335 at 95.3mph and the 0-60mph was done in 7.06sec. The 0-60ft was done in 2.43sec

holy crap, this thread still exists? and oh yea, i'm well on my way to the 20 girlfriends muwahahahaha. and i've decided i will need at least 20 million dollars.
"well homsar called and said he was a million ladies tall." and i also dont see how a 5sp tranny and a dual friction clutch could shave off 2 seconds. cuz dude, that is a lot! |
