Drive-By Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 Bearing in mind in UK we readily fill up on 97/98 octane pump gas, what do you think is the minimum you would have to do to achieve 300/300 hp/lb feet and is it possible on TBI do you think? My girlfriend wants to keep up with Evo's lol as she's quite a driver and her Starion project is about to get some tool time and a new head. But the shopping list is growing Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

conquest707 Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 Bearing in mind in UK we readily fill up on 97/98 octane pump gasyou guys have i different octane rating system. i think your 95 is equal to our 91. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drive-By Posted April 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 (edited) you guys have i different octane rating system. i think your 95 is equal to our 91. Ah right I always laboured under the thought our fuel and barometrics made a difference over here. makes this tune a good benchmark then. Looks promising I wonder how crucial the equal length header was, I know from experiance propper flow builds torque incredibly well. makes for a very interesting read looking at that graph.

dmyers151 Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 A lot of the guys I've talked to, and those that posted in that thread from what I recall, said it was mostly in the cam and turbo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool that makes it sound ever more do-able. I have been looking at some internals and an M28 from DAD and then carrying out polish/port/match in to out coupled with a descent T3/T4 for starters. But this seems to lay some of my worries to rest over MAF issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jinx Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 With hp ~260, but tq a strong mid 300s, some TBI 2.6s have ET high 12sec quarter mile, using bolt-on mitsu turbo upgrades & stock cam.Will that "keep up with Evo's" ? ....or u must have "300hp" ?

May keep it on par, torque will always win out. The Evo's will be quicker in the bends but rarely do you find a driver who does more than straight lines.If shee can hold her own I think Liv will be happy.

Drive-By Posted July 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 Looks like this ones got the green light now, parts coming together thick and fast. I dug out a set of my old rods and they're away getting peened, polished and balanced, got a spare set of ARP's for those too I never used. A marnal head just got hear thanks to Trackone and a set of Wiseco's from QuestBYU too. Also a box load of timing gear, BSR and gaskets from DAD. Just the head gasket,head studs and some odds n sods then it should be a go for the motor. Been reading up on MAF-T and 1G MAS, all pretty confidence inspiring so far. Hopefully she'll have a real fun toy when I've got her all back together. No doubt Liv will add to her build thread as we go along. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
