14b turbo, better if it was a 16g but it will work. my friend ran 30 psi in his winter talon last year because someone told him it could'nt be done, and it was. btw he was using a 14b.
call bs if you want, but it did.
ps: i dont blame you if you dont believe me, because i wouldnt believe it if i didnt see it either. but emagine my experssion when he took me for a ride and i saw the boost guage wack 30 and then look under the hood and see the stock 14b.
he had no problems with reliability at all, which is still amazing to me still. read the last line in my sig, he is a perfect model of that.

I''m not saying it can't be done, but I seriously question the actual feasibility of such a project. I have an old '79 2 dr Nova with a V8 engine. I doubt extremely seriously if I could actually get that car to run in the 12's without spending a ton of money and time in it.....

I brought a used big 16g from a friend with a 2g manifold for $200, used my stock evo 8 injectors, fmic, wheels and custom ic pipe. I used a old afc i had laying around from my evo
and got a stage 3 ecu eprom for $115 with launch control. picked up a 2g maf sensor and used my wideband tuned it and went to the track and ran 12's all day.
total cost under $2000

hey i just called that guy that did that 30psi on a 14b, he told me that they were 7 bolt from late 92 on. so you are right. i guess you learn something new everyday.

i agree he'll have to learn to how the do all that stuff, to save the $.

Get either a fox body or a 1st gen rx7 with sbc. Theres no way you could do any v8 rx7 with an ls1 for less than 5 grand. My 1st gen has a carbureted 406 small block chevy in it with TH350 trans and will go deep in the 11's all day long on motor. In a couple months ill be putting in an 8.8 ford rear and 200 shot of nitrous and hopefully ill be deep in the 10's.
