Hey folks, just wanted to share my shake down pass in the fwd dsm,

stock ecu, untuned and 23 psi, with the GT42...



I hope for some better times with the car tuned this year
enjoy

here is a picture of whats under the hood

 

Car sounds good nice setup!

 

awesome setup! even better hood prop!

 

O man that 2X4 is cherry.

650 whp, I was expecting a high 130 trap (sig)

 

thanks folks, everyone loves my hood prop

The 648 whp was with a T70, The best I ever trapped in that set up was 132 mph. I have recently switched to the GT42 set up, since I am on the stock 1G ecu, I just simply wanted to see what the car would do at wastegate pressure, so If I was to guess, the car right now is making no more than 400 whp if not less.

It is really difficult to launch a FWD car, so I was basically trying to see if the car goes straight...

 

Hey thats awsome! I have a 91 TSI that I should be finishing up here in the next month or so. No big hair dryer like that lol but built motor and 60-1 for now once I get bored with that turbo I will try something bigger. Good luck with it this season it should be a really fun time, not to many of us still rockin the FWD DSM out there. Keep us posted.

 

Nice! My buddy went 11.7 with some bolt ons and a 16g in his 1st gen gsx..

 

Nice little setup there. It is hard to launch good with a FWD.

 

That's impressive but honestly, running quick with the 4G63, even FWD is textbook. What was up with that pig of a car you raced? that was like some Pontiac Bonneville or something and it looked like it turned a 12.

Good job in all seriousness. I am taking my effectively stock 90 FWD GS(Turbo, the GS came with an available turbo in 90 for all the non OG DSM guys) to the track soon to see what she'll do.
