Szester - just a word of advice from being around these for a few years
25 psi is a wee much unless you've seriously reinforced the engine. 20psi is the most people will really run.
Also, if you want to make the most out of the car, cut the boost down to 18psi, get a GM MAS, a wideband O2 sensor ( like an AEM UEGO ) and a MAF-T

i dont really know where you are going with that...its like you are agreeing with me in a really defensive tone...Originally Posted by Stormhammer
eh - you need to do your research about the car first. its a 2.6L SOHC I4 with a two injector throttle body setup. It's why a lot of us are going towards MPI more and more.
Let me put it like this. Stock car has about 190whp. Give or take. A guy in Cumming, GA put MPI on the car, and a S16G turbo @ 18psi. Car dynoed 364whp before the stock original clutch vaporized. One of the most awesome sounds I have ever heard.
Not calling you out, but before anyone else also gets arrogant they need to at least know some facts about these cars
i was saying that with all that done to his car it should do better than a 13.5...and it seems like you just pretty much backed up what i said...did i miss something?

Actually.. it all originated from Porsche..
Dont forget that..
Wasn't talking about C4's.With that said.. I will race you.. up to 150....
From a DIG .. Unless you were talking about c4's..
Just saying...
Whats your mod list?
you mean.... airplanes right? cause thats where Turbos came from
funny... i dont see Porsche mentioned.... how oddProduction automobiles
The first Turbo-Diesel truck was produced by the "Schweizer Maschinenfabrik Saurer" (Swiss Machine Works Saurer) 1938 [1].
The Corvair's innovative turbocharged flat-6 engine. The turbo, located at top right, feeds pressurized air into the engine through the chrome T-tube visible spanning the engine from left to right.
The first production turbocharged automobile engines came from General Motors in 1962. The A-body Oldsmobile Cutlass Jetfire and Chevrolet Corvair Monza Spyder were both fitted with turbochargers.
The world's first production turbodiesel automobile was also introduced in 1978 by Mercedes-Benz with the launch of the 300SD turbodiesel. Today, nearly all automotive diesels are turbocharged.
I love the mob mentality on here. One guy posted something in a joking manner, and everyone mobs him. *sigh*
I think what he was trying to say was that the Starion was a very popular turbo car and helped start the RWD import craze back-int-he-day. Notice i said help start, not that it was THE ONLY CAR.

EH WHATEVER. go back to Canadia
History
The turbocharger was invented by Swiss engineer Alfred Büchi. His patent for a turbo charger was applied for use in 1905.[1] Diesel ships and locomotives with turbochargers began appearing in the 1920s.
[edit] Aviation
One of the first applications of a turbocharger to a non-Diesel engine came when General Electric engineer Sanford Moss attached a turbo to a V12 Liberty aircraft engine. The engine was tested at Pikes Peak in Colorado at 14,000 feet (4,300 m) to demonstrate that it could eliminate the power losses usually experienced in internal combustion engines as a result of reduced air pressure and density at high altitude.
Turbochargers were first used in production aircraft engines in the 1930s before World War II. The primary purpose behind most aircraft-based applications was to increase the altitude at which the airplane can fly, by compensating for the lower atmospheric pressure present at high altitude. Aircraft such as the Lockheed P-38, Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress and Republic P-47 all used turbochargers to increase high altitude engine power.

orly?
Just a few examples of RWD Imports from back in the day.

yeah, can ya read? i said help start

I aint no punk....
I didn't say they didn't HELP, but lets face it, 1982-1990 isn't "back in the day."
There were soooo many RWD imports before the starion/conquest.

beat me to it
I always liked the Starions/Conquests
Wow seriously i would rather let a fat bitch sit on my sholders, while i ran a mile in horse sh*t, with a lamp shoved in my ass than drive this car!
HAHAHAHA. Very true. I think this car is hideous.
I matched the OP's quarter mile time with my 1.8 liter stock engine. LOL.

is that really all that matters?
hes also only got 2 injectors.
Mine really dosn't leave the garage. People across the street think it is a tool bench.
lol some of you guys shouldn't jump on the bandwagon when ya dont know much about these cars.
Actualy 13.5 is pretty decent for a Starion, with weighing a ton and a half and only having 2 injectors and a small 52mm throttle bod AND a very inefficent stock manifold... it can be hard to turn numbers out of what mitsubishi gave us. And don't even get me started about the stock intercooler routing! Damn, that was such an after thought.I'm throwing the bullshit flag on those numbers lol noob. You started the trend eh? Well then I guess us "youngsters" do better with the math.
I also have the Alternator mod, which requires you to engineer your own bracket since it won't bolt up to the stock bracket and also source your own Alternator. This is done because the stock alternators run outta juice and can be very pricey to repair/replace. Also i'm sure hes talking about something like the 8.55 mm Taylor or MSD plug wires where you have to buy a universal kit and kit and crimp them for your application.actually read the mod list.. he listed an alternator and spark plug wires... there really isnt that much done, i think he just tried to make the longest list he could to seem like a badass
Keep the questions comin' guys

I was refering to the Original Poster's remark
Yes, i can read quite well. Please drink bleach and then laugh yourself to death at the utter failure that is turbo + Throttle body injection

That's not a positive trait lol

Honestly, he probably should have blown a head gasket, or probably will soon enough with that boost pressure. Really the limiting factor of 1/4 mile times is the injectors with the ECU, hence why I voted up the MAF-T, wideband O2 and GM MAS. You're essentially talking about a car that hasn't had a single thing tuned ( you need stated mods to tune the car ). With a self-tune, he should be able to pull off a better 1/4 mile time.

drink bleach? goddamn your a loser. This was what Mitsu designed the car with so ppl run with it and pull the best they can from it. I guess some ppl work on a car for more than the fact that its "OMG so JDm- sht tye kool yo" i guess you didnt think of that.
its also not negative, hes working with what hes got.
Mine really dosn't leave the garage. People across the street think it is a tool bench.
If it's not negative then don't use it as an excuse why they're so slow, as with the intake manifolds, throttle bodies, and whatever else you mentioned. It's still a 2.6 (?) liter turbo...
'92 C2500 6.5 Turbo Diesel | '96 240sx
It's not so much as slow as that after a certain point with modifications it becomes a limiter of the power you can make. I personally am quite content with my TBI setup. Well I will be more so when I can find a non-leaking primary injector ( I need to stop buying 20 year old injectors
I should go find the Starion that had a huge aluminum spoiler on it...

this thread is ending well.
I mean, don't get me wrong, I've wanted a starion/conquest for a while. I actually tried to get a local one a few times, but 13.5 with 25 psi and then being cocky about it, is just lame.
'92 C2500 6.5 Turbo Diesel | '96 240sx
no he was cocky by saying that he was going to show us "punks" a "real car" and then i open it up and see wiper blades from fucking 1988.
