FInally got some track time !!
60' = 2.313 ( very good huh.. )
1/8 9.506
mph 75.82
1/4 14.663
mph 94.47
This run was made it COMPLETE DRIVING FORM ( tipped to the top tank of gas, 93oct., completly stock exhuast with punched cat, tools "in case ----", 5 extra quarts of oil, and all the misc. stuff my girl and I took to the track ).
I was running 10psi with the stock clutch ( which was slipping so bad in 4th that I was literlly tapping the gas almost all the way though 4th gear !! ) stock CRX Si rims, with BFG comp. TAs ( non DR ). Car was of course in "full interoir" foam.
I was pretty happy... That was the best outta.... one run... Yeah, one run... kinda..
#1 run = IC pipe came off in 3rd gear
#2 run = above times
#3 run = clutch slipping so bad it ran a 17.5 and I was in 5th by the time I went though the traps !!! I desided it was time to sit in the stands...
Sucks, but I'm happy..
Compelete turbo system with engine and everything = $1100
Car = $1200
Interoir $300
Not bad..
A new cobra disappointed me.. It has nitto DRs, ice in the intercooler and on the S/C, pass. head light removed so it rams air on the aftermarket huge K&N... Best all day was 12.80 !!!! I thought it would do a lot better...

Re:FInally got some track time !!
Yea, the car is just -40 across tuned, and about chokes me out while driving, but its better safe than on the side of the road... Another words after the clutch a dyno season is next. The exhuast was put on directly to reduce my HP b/c the clutch.
Looking into a CM stage2... My brother's Z28 ran 99-100mph at the track so that's the number I'm chasing, but he runs 13.40 like clock work ( stall convertor and drag radals ).
Anyone have any advice on clutchs for less than 300hp, but more than 220hp ?
BTW this was also with a 160K original DX tranny, hehe..

Re:FInally got some track time !!
89' civic H/B^ D16Z6 block, D16A6 head, Y8 intake, DSM 450cc injectors, AFC HACK, Starion FMIC, Volvo Adj. BOV, DX tranny, HF manifold with BMC racing adaptor plate, some volvo IC piping some PVC, stock ecu timing, PM6 ECU, dizzy retarded 2 degrees.
Interoir has been completly comverted to Si spec, the only thing factory inside is the dash, sterring wheel, headliner, and carpet. Also have 94+ teg console and over priced B&M shifter. Boost/vaccum, Ele. FP, and A/F guages.
The exteroir is compelty stock minus the 91' CRX Si wheels with 2 year old BFG comp. TAs, even down the stock black bumpers.. I did cut some hood loovers in the hood to help the cooling of the turbo, but to be honest, the car runs extremly cool with 1 stock puller fan, and a $60 pusher on the turbo side. The pusher fan stays on and the stock puller fan is just "in case ----" as in never somes on, so yes I'm using a stock full sized radiator too. No A/C.
Short comings ? Well, my downpipe needs some love. Right now it is 2 1/4'' piping that makes a 90* direct turn downwards to a peice of flex pipe, then to the stock punched cat. And my "turbo to IC" piping is being pinched, and I'm also using the stock inlets and outlets on the starion IC ( 1 1/2'' piping )..
The WRX turbo is just impressed the ---- outta me.. I thought it would run outta air, nope.. I thought it wouldn't make any top end power, wow was I wrong. And its been a great turbo...
I have a T3 SVO .60/.63 in great shape, but I'm having a hard time justifing taking a great turbo off, to put a twice as big turbo on ( my engine is low compression (8.4/1), but not built )...
