Well, today made the 2nd day that my FC has been running. I got her fired up yesterday after realizing I needed to primer some fuel into the motor.. Problems later occured, but all was fixed TODAY.



Well, the turbo's only boosting 3 1/2 psi, lol, but it's pretty quick nonetheless thanks to the other stuff I've got done.



During night school we have a break from 6:00-6:40PM, and so I gave my friend a ride in it. He drives a convertable N/A completely converted into a Turbo II btw.



On the way back to school we spotted this silver S2K, looked really nice, I think it even had aftermarket exhaust or something, but I didn't really look. I caught up to the guy and he looks at me, and half a second later we both punch it in mid 3rd. By the time I reached 6,000 RPM I was already 2 cars ahead, so I shifted to 4th and just slowed down..



That makes the first kill for my FC. Yay! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png



My brother just got the S14 T-28 ball-bearing turbo and HKS boost acuator for his SR20'd 240...and he already could beat me running the 14psi he did on the stock T-25...now he's going to rape me. I want to compete back though! Once I get a boost controller, how much boost can I run safely with my setup?? My signature lists my mods, thanks! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

sweeet kill... what are your mods?

*points to his signature*

nice kills

the S2000 certainly isnt slow

you should be able to run 8-10 psi. watch the egt's and a/f. look into getting a new rad.

I want to run 10psi.



The previous owner of my car had an S4 motor in the car and he dyno'd 287hp @ 14psi. Now the American S4 motors are listed at 187hp and the S5 is 200hp. I have HEARD that the S5 J-Specs are 225hp, is this true?

ah ha! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683664.gif

Nope, theyre still 200 like the the US S5's. The only model that is over 200hp is the Infini version and I cant remember the exact hp but I think it was around 215 and i believe it was due to the less restrictive exhaust.

Red or black top 240?

Sweet kill @ only 3 1/2 psi https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif



Good luck against your bro's 240

That's pretty cool for something running on low boost.

my brother's SR20 is blacktop S13, Greddy FMIC, Greddy Type-S BOV, Greddy down-pipe, S14 ball-bearing T-28 w/ HKS boost acuator, Turbo XS dual-stage boost controller, 3inch custom exhaust w/ Megan 90mm tip, no cats, and maybe some other shtuff I forget. At 14psi it should be about 260hp to the wheels. In his old T-25 @ 14psi we smoked everything except a modded Z06, Porsche GT2, and that 480hp super-charged V8 AMG Mercedes thing..SL550 or something I forget.



My car @ 12psi would be fast as hell though. If the car would actually WORK, then maybe I could find out!

Damn dude, you have to SMOKE his 240.



I despise 240s. Hey, everybody's doing the swap...I should jump on the bandwagon!

nooOoOoOoO!!! See my brother had an S14 that got totalled, and then got a deal on his fastback and put the same motor in there. Then next thing you know all my friends want 240's and RX-7's. I bought my ass a hachi roku, a REAL AE86. '86 GT-S hatchback. I sold that **** and decided to go FC, but I'm having SO many problems, it's hard to keep the **** running for more than 24 hours without a problem keeping the bitch from even starting.

Death to SR20s. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

death to babies! i mean....good kill

My God, you're one sick individual

I don't see why you can't take the 240, he might take you a little now, but with some turbo upgrades he should waste him easily. I always thought the fc has much more potential then the 240 (and is a faster car)

Hmm..Well, I gave my bro a ride in it yesterday and he thinks I'm pretty fast. I wanted to push 10-12psi at most when I'm serious. What do you guys think?



Benny, the previous owner of my car dyno'd 287hp @ 14psi on an S4 motor which is only 187hp. My motor is S5 J-Spec and is rated at 205hp I believe. So at 12psi, I should be like 260hp or something? I dunno! >_<

The HP increase of S5's is mostly from raised boost. The increase in comression only accounts for a 2-3% increase in power. Your numbers should be very close to the numbers with the S4 block given the same boost.
