By the summer or shortly after I plan on being Boosted. I have a few questions though.
A couple of people I occassionally associate with are boosted. As things currently stand, they are already capable of toying with V6 stangs, 3000gts/stealth/supras (non turbo), and other compacts. I'd like to know what it would take to hang with them. I'll list the mods that I know of.
'97 Honda Civic DX: 5 speed
-CAI
-Header
-catback exhaust
-T3/04 turbo kit
97 Mitsu Mirage: 5 Speed
-Exhaust
4g63T swap from 1st gen DSM
98 Mitsu Galant: 5 speed
-Exhaust
-4g63T swap from Evo VI
02 Stratus RT: Autostick
-Exhaust
-CAI
-* might go with Ripp Supercharger
03 Mitsu OZ Rally: 5 speed
-Exhaust
-Intake
-Header
-4g63T swap from Evo VIII
Now I know 'Driver's skill' play a big part and the Auto in my GA puts me at a serious disadvantage. Personally, I would like to go with the HS kit but I don't think it would be enough to hang with these guys so I was wondering if a T3 (maybe a GT30) setup would produce the kind of power I need. I don't have dyno #s on their cars and I don't even know if any of them go to the track.
Now there's a few ways I could go about this.
-Initially I was thinking to test the grounds with the GT30 series and see what kind of HP I could get out of that (with the help of a reputable turbo shop).
-Stick with a T28 series (probably the GT28RS) and be happy with the results until R&D improves
-Swap to a N/A SR20 for a while and eventually boost that.
Regardless of how I look at this project, either way is going to be expensive.
P.S.
I am not doing any of this myself (except gathering the parts). I don't have the experience but I'm still learning about turbo setups so plz be easy
I know that the first step in the boosted GA project is to swap to a manual.
What's the difference between the 240, Z32, Cobra maf? I've noticed that on SR boosted applications, many owners go with the Z32 or Cobra maf while the GAs generally stick with the 240. Do they have a direct effect on how much boost you could hold to redline or is there some other reason explanation that I don't understand?
