What should be Expected
Monday, February 19, 2007 6:45 PM
I know you've all probably posted your 1/4 times, but I've gotta ask again. I know you guys don't mind bragging a little, and let's try to keep this on topic and not turn it into this is better than that. I'd like to keep this as civilized as possible. Out of a car pushing between 8-10psi on a turbo, what's a descent quarter mile time. I've yet to run my car with the turbo and I'm running in the 14psi range, just kinda curious on what you guys have seen. I know a lot depends on the driver.

PSI really doesn't have anything to do with it unless you have the same size turbos. What you want to ask is quarter mile times at xxx cfm.

However, on 10 pounds, I ran a 9.8 1/8 mile time on bald tires with my supercharger. No traction through first. Seriously bald tires.

by looking at your setup low-mid 13s seems to be a safe estimate.


I want to share something with you - the three sentences that will get you through life. Number one, 'cover for me', Number two, 'oh, good idea, boss', Number three, 'it was like that when I got here.'

So does Chill factory make manifolds for the ecotec or was yours a one off deal? At one time there was talk of them making a turbo kit. What hapened with that?

I was kinda trying to stay away from advertising, seeing as I'm not a premium member, but yes they do make manifolds, they are built to order, but it only takes about a week. As for the turbo kit, same story, for now, but they are hoping to start keeping them in stock as long as there's interst.
