what year is your vr4? my friends friend has a B16 turbo and raced a twin turbo 3000gt awd.....he was losing till about half way down the track then he passed him .....it was a really good race! vr4's are pretty sweet. especially the newer ones..late 90's they have kooler side scoops.

yea i have the older 92 model...ive raced a hatch with a b16 and smoked him...but it wasnt turbo...im running about 14.5psi with an intake and a apex muffler cause im too poor to add anything else

i live in st helens, there is a green talon, it is a turbo, but i've looked at it and its all stock. they are NO fast cars in st helens that aren't muscle cars. the fastest non muscle car i've ever seen is a single turbo mr2. there are lots of wrx and wrx wagons but they aren't fast.

I used to get smoked by stock turbo eclipses all the time.... Now they are just something fun to toy with when I see them on the road. Hang in there, because smoking an eclipse turbo awd with a honda is a beautiful thing ;)

On the intrepid, If you go to Autotrader.com, then used car research, then model info, you can find out the specs on pretty much all cars, after you select your car's make and model click on technical specs, will give you HP and engine tranny specs. The only 3.5l I found is the 2001 R/T and has 242hp, 248 torque. Go and find out. I use it to see the power on some cars in the area, to see where is some competition.
