You'll spool fine, if you want anti-lag it...

Yeah antilag should spool that 3071 just fine. I'm sure the haltech has provisions for it. A buddy of mine uses the haltech on his single turbo 350z for launch control, works great.

Here's my story...
Made it out to the Street Life Tour today... action packed day of heads up drag racing and drifting all packed into one venue. 14k$ payout for drag, 6$k payout for the drifting. I was in a 13.0 bracket that paid $500... I advanced a few rounds pedaling through the gears just blipping the throttle to stay ahead of the cars next to me, first I ran a 13.08 vs a 13.21 next race, still pedaling ended up breaking out and did a 12.84 vs a 12.96. Disqualified. Earlier on in the day I ran a few back to back 12.6 at 109 so I knew it was faster than the previous setup, due to 2 more psi of boost and one hell of prepped track. I know the guys that put on the event pretty well and was able to setup a grudge match between myself and a friends Cam'd, I/H/E, 4:10 FD, 9 inched rear, LS1/T56 Trans Am. I knew it would be a close race, and it had cooled off a bit.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9ZgJ6acYWQ
12.4 @ 110mph with a 1.68 60'

I was pretty pumped.

Keep in mind this is a Stock S14 KA24DE longblock with headstuds and a felpro head gasket, running a GTi-R T28 with just 12psi.

The plan is to install my cams, and turn the boost up to 15+psi and try and get an 11 second pass on the Nissan T28.

A couple pictures of recent work.

Kept cracking the super old ebay manifold. Stepped it up a little baby notch and got the OBXR manifold and downpipe. Manifold is supposedly made of 321 Stainless which takes heat better than your typical 304. It clocked the turbo a bit different, not allowing me to use my old intake. So I took advantage of the opportunity and made a cold air intake.

Here is my setup:

Ford 8.8, 4 link back half, QA1 coils, 31 spline axles with 5/8 studs, full cage with fuel cell.

325/50R15 Mickey Thompson ET Streets









*WAS* powered by this making 600whp at 10PSI.


N/A it ran 10.9, haven't ran it when it was boosted with the 70mm turbo. Dropped 2 cylinders and now I'm building a forged 6.1 370 with a GT4788. 20ish PSI it will make over 1,000whp and do 8's.

Jholman I saw your race at streetlife. I don't understand the bracket rule at all. Why don't you be in the 10.0 bracket so you don't get DQ. I was doing the fun run on friday. Its cheap only $5.00. The best I can do at 10 psi is 12.96 at 100mph, 1.8 60 ft. On 2nd run I increase the pressure to 15psi but it blew my welded diff. I am lucky some guy brought spare diff that I was able to buy from him at the track. I am looking for stronger diff that is almost bolt on like q45 diff. However I don't know if any manufacturer make clutch lsd for q45 diff. I heard viscous lsd is not that reliable. Sometimes the lock sometimes it is not.

If you're looking to drag and are at that power level a S15 HLSD would work great. They do not wear out since they are gear driven. Honestly I think anything but a welded diff will hold up for you on that power level. I'd wait until I was making 500+hp before I thought about upgrading the diff in these cars. That may just be me though.

Haha that's because the car has been down.. Its going through the new build - Bay shave, new forged 6.1 with ETP heads, and a GT4788 turbo. Since the car is originally from the midwest, it has a few rust sports that I am taking care of right now. I'll let you know when its up and running

Right now around 2,600. Alot of the sheet metal has been pulled and replaced with aluminum and the cage is chromoly. The rearend isn't as heavy as it looks. It will be heavier with the new turbo and 6.1 but well worth it considering it will be good to over 1,000whp

It will go 8's with the right auto trans on a trans brake. With the T56 it will be a bit slower but i'll be happy with low 9s. It is a street car so realistically I'm going to have it turned down to around 850ish in the street.

On a side note, how do you like E85? I am VERY interested in running it. I know it has to be tuned 30% fatter so you lose a bit of MPH. Its also pretty scarce around here.. Do you have a 55g drum in your garage that you fill?

I love e85. Been runnin it for 2 years on my daily Evo when I had it and now my SR. Yes it calls for more fuel but every set up is different. Tou run a lot more timing that's for sure peoples jass sould drop if they saw my ignition tables and helps spool the turbo as well. Motor runs a lot cooler it's say cheaper then race gas. Just need to ensure your fuel system is up to the task

My fuel system is good for 1200hp haha. I know the benefits, its just that its sooo scarce here its scary. They are building a new gas station on base that supposedly is going to have E85. I'm just scared of driving and running out stranded somewhere because I almost daily this car lol.

Well 1200 on race mix. E85 I expect it to be cut short it demands alot more than pump gas. I may have to start running a laptop to reflash back and forth.. Stock pcm with Hptuners.

Ya but it's isn't bad once you have a idea what the tank last you a plan can be made. Before a closer pump came all g the nearest one was 25 miles each way. I would fill my tank and 3-4 jugs of 5gal. I would top off as needed but once I got down to my last 5gal jug I would plan to head to the gas station in the next day or 2. Worst come to worst u could alway revert to a back up map

85 is ok, but if your going to be running it all the time. hit up JG chemicals and order some drums of propriatary solvent #6 200 proof. it is 98% ethanol, 2% methanol. Its what i use and contains no cheap octane gas as a filler like e85. I then run a 3:2 ratio of prop 6 and toluene to make it even better.

i tried 85 but hated driving 45 min to the nearest pump. ordered 4 drums of this nad will last me a while at the rate i drive mine.

i tried 85 but hated driving 45 min to the nearest pump. ordered 4 drums of this nad will last me a while at the rate i drive mine.
Too much involved with all that. For me at least. My e85 station is 10 miles away now less headache just pump n go

I've heard of people doing this, though it sounds nice, its too much effort for my street car... if you want to consider it one lol. I see markings of E85 on the new pump station they are building right outside my door. I just don't want to get caught, say somewhere in LA or IE then have to call a friend to bail me out bc there's no E85 around. Granted one outside my door, with the heightened fuel demand of e85 I could be empty before I even knew it.
