do a little research....I'm sure he had some sort of walbro fuel pump, an AFC, and the boost to whatever a 14b can handle...20psi probably....
..if you watched the video, even they were shocked that he ran that time
and no you wont run 10's with a 2g cuz they're heavy as shit, the tranny will break and so will the motor probably.but like i said... sometihng probably tripped the sensor so it stopped the time at 12.1

Sorry, I consider fuel upgrades and a tuning device "not stock." Granted yea that's a great time for a car with such little mods, especially a 14b. But you bring up a new argument now about a 2g not being able to hit 10s? What did Brent Rau run again? 6.94 at 198.47, pretty sure that was a 2g. 2g's are only about 300lbs more than 1gs, but yes your correct in the fact that they are heavier. You make it out that 2g's are horrible compaired to 1gs. Neither car has a great tranny, especially when the car makes good power. Yes 2gs are more prone to crankwalk, but that doesn't mean a 6bolt can't. And just to prove I've done some research a 1g dsm runs 15.3 stock and a 2g runs 14.9 stock.
Again, I'm not trying to be a prick at all, I was just really blown away with the fact that a "stock" 1g ran a 12.1 1/4. But after realizing he was on 110, and has other fuel upgrades it makes somewhat more sense.

As for your car being slow, do some upgrades, walbro, clutch, injectors, 'link, etc...You sound like you're heavy into tuning your own way, but once you get 'link you'll poop your pants from how easy it is. I know I did.
God dammit bring that bad bitch back up here and let me drive it!
I'm pretty sure a stock 1g runs faster than a 15.3.

You n00b dsmers are funny and retarded all at the same time. Kindof like those kids that had to go to class by themselves in junior high and highschool.

Stock 1g ran anywhere from 14.6 to 15.1 depending on the year. For 1/4 mile times go to http://www.albeedigital.com/supercoupe/articles/0-60times.html

DSM Tuners is FULL of people that have broken into the 14s bone stock. It all depends on a million different variables.

^ok I'll drop it. you like 1gs more than 2gs and that's fine. When my motor goes, I'll throw in a 6bolt, but until then there's no point.
btw, search tuners for all the 2gs that broke into 14s stock too. imo I could care less what a car runs stock. But I understand I'm still a "n00b" so no matter what I say it doesn't really matter.
But with all do respect, the whole "no 2g can brake 10s" comment is bull.

John w.. heres how you go fast on a budget:
1.Make sure your engine is good 145psi or better
2.Make sure your tranny can shift fast.
3. ACT 2600
4.Ported 2g manifold w/ pte 50 trim
5. 550cc or bigger, S-afc, 255hp
6.MBC set to 25psi w/ 110 octane
7.fmic, no boost leaks
8.NO exhaust ...
9.4 bolt rear end or 3 bolt with many extra axles... Good luck finding them I think I broke them all...- let me drive
pretty much with that set up I ran 11.2@125 with stock engine..

Don't know if they would help too much, but you could try investing in some iridium plugs (Denso, NGK) for better spark. They're supposed to be particularly beneficial for forced induction applications.NGK-BPR7es gap down to .025-.028

are you dumping the clutch at 4k or slipping it? my 1 tip: no lift shift into 3rd and 4th..I would rev the bitch to 6000-6500 w/ act 2600 and no lift to shift on a 1g dsm hahahhah... Good luck

- It's at over 150 all cylinders
- Thats a problem, where did you say I could get my tranny rebuilt in town again?
- Yeah, I'm not doing any more runs on that stock clutch, it smells like pickles.
- I did clean up the 1g manifold, didn't port match it or anything, 2g is better tho huh?
- going 550s w/ dsmlink and 3000gt fuel pump
- want to see what I can get out of the 14b

- plan on getting a cheap ebay setup w/ pipes from jcwhitney like you suggested
- haha
- got a 4 bolt rear
- arent you sick of driving dsms?

- A-Transmission City Talk to Ben tell him SLS sent you
4.2g manifolds are have bigger ports - if your going to dsmlink you should get bigger injectors as the almost cost the same..
- 14b is proven
- i am sick of breaking trannys, axles thats why we got an auto in jeremys car...

I'm workin' on it! Almost done, maybe I'll take a road trip up there soon. Who did you say owned it before I did, someone at a shop up there right?
*Oh yeah and Original Poster dude, I have a 2g exhaust manifold for sale. Let me know if you're interested.
