Man man man, this guy got a 91 Galant VR4 with a 16G turbo, Front mount intercooler, ACT level 3, boost controller, 3inch exhaust from turbo back, open element filter, 2nd gen MAF, ported 2nd gen intakemanifold, GReddy type-S blow off, and fuel pump. He ran a 13.2s@93mph with racing fuel and running 20lb of boost at Baytown MotorSpeed way. First we raced from a dead stop, he had me about 5 cars @ 50mph, i knew this is ganna happen, so we raced again from a 45mph punch, this time he had me about a car @ 75mph, finally my fourth gear kicks in, slowly, I was pulling him little by little, and then 5th gear, we were doing about 140+mph flying on the highway and he still hanging about a car behind, I was like "damn, i didn't know Rally car can go pass 100mph." It was fun tho, haven't accel passed 110mph since my old motor. Muahahaha...........

Great Race

Its hard to find those cars around, let alone find one to race. Those were cars so far ahead of their time when they came out. Havent seen one around here for quite a while. Dont even know if a supercharger could help us or not.

There are a few VR4s around. I know i have seen mor then 4 or 5 VR4's in the past few months. I actually saw one yesterday. A spanish lady was driving it. I was like WTF?! It had black/ red lipped rims. Exhuast and i heard that turbo spooling. Too bad she was riding that clutch huh?

well......he TOLD me he was running 16-18psi, those Galant VR4s are very inconsistent, over heats like crazy, even with the the frontmount intercooler. Fastest street DSM i've seem is this 1st gen eclipse GSX, got some "home made turbo, home made boost controller, home made air to water intercooler with no exhaust, S-AFC, PVC, engin work and someother crap i don't even know, He ran a 10.17 at Ennis MotorSpeed Way. Stock rimz, stock suspension, ugly looking paint job, on racing gas, running 25lb of boost. daz what i call a "SLEEPER"

Way OT, but...

You say you're going to stroke your motor in your sig. Going for the 3.5L conversion, eh? Let us know how it turns out!
