What a great day.... working fuel pump installed and dynoed today. New turbo shipped tomorrow.... turbo manifold going out this week....

Makes up for the fact I found out I drive like shit yesterday. The cure for poor times is 100 more hp I guess..lol

And how do we plan to tune the car? I know of a few MS3's that have blown up because of the relatively poor tuning options available and bigger bolt-on turbo's now being on the market. Chicken before the egg guys...we cant ever FIGURE OUT what closes the throttle plate in the upper RPM's, how is a bolt-on ATP turbo a good idea at this point? I'm honestly curious...

ATPs dynos lead one to believe that it is indeed possible. And PGs MS6 has been running this turbo since the summer....

Im game to be the guinea pig. If it blows itll be because I get stupid with the boost. Id like to see what it does with stock boost, cdfp, and the stock ecu.

And also.... who has blown up an MS3?

mrlilguy157
02-26-2008, 12:07 AM
definately not 450hp on stock internals. the highest i will go is 360whp or 370whp on stock internals. After that, depending on how it feels, I'll build the motor or leave it at that. I have a feelings that 350whp+ is going to feel INCREDIBLE, on a front wheel drive car, approaching 400whp on a street car daily is danger zone (kenny loggins playing in my head: sp?) It'll be fun, and the cams will be nice too, some day.

I did and at least one other guy on here. PM me if you want details.

I would super highly stress the need for upgraded rods and the NEED for a fuel pump. Remember that 18psi on this turbo is going to move alot more air than the stocker. At least get the FP.. please..blowing an engine is a pain in the ass and just super inconvienent.

Ive got a fuel pump.... and I think anybody would be a complete fool to run a BT without it. The rods I think make sense too.... if youre going to go over 350 to the 380 range the atp guy was talking about.

But he said the clutch couldnt handle it.... so Im thinking anything over 350-360 were gonna have a whole new set of issues..... engine internals being just one.

I dont know why everyone is getting their panties in a bunch over the fucking rods. Its this simple, rods will go through the block when you get detonation. These are DI, have a higher lean rate and there isnt one single problem the MS3 has experience that the MS6 has. So fuck it, time to prove the naysayers wrong. If a Lightning can hold 500hp all day long at the wheels with a big ass Kenne Bell blower and tune with its sorry ass weak rods, this engine isnt going to have a problem. As long as you got that MRLILGUY fuel pump and keep this boost below 20 on that monster, you guys are going to hit 400hp with little effort. For those who are ultimately paranoid, add some methanol.

The drivetrain on the other hand, is going to be your weak point. Get a beefy clutch and go easy on the trans from gears 1-2 & 3. From what ive seen of the internals on this trans, the synchros look quite weak from 1-3, but get beefier from 4-6.

I like you Kevin, but the lightning is only putting 62.5hp out per cylinder, where as we're looking at 100hp a cylinder. I don't know how high I'm willing to go. If I find a good dyno that I like, maybe MAYBE maybe I'll throw in some race gas and shoot for 400whp.

360-370whp daily is more on my agenda at this point. I don't wanna be scared to drive my car.

So if you run stock boost and have no adjustability in tuning (stock ECU)...race gas is useless...

Basically, the stock ECU will not take advantage of the higher octane gas...right?

Sans tuning, race gas won't do anything for you. Its too bad most people don't know that. I've run into people who claim with stock 15 second cars they've been able to run 13s on 110 octane, lol.

im not saying it will increase HP!

im saying it helps make for cooler combustion and less detonation which is always better IMO..... The HP comes from the ability to run more boost due to the higher octane.

I was always told by my tuner (Jorge from P&L) that running race gas ona pump gas map will not net you any more HP and it will take a toll on your bearings. He said something to the fact that race gas and pump gas burn at different rates and running race gas on a pump gas map will result in your bearing's getting pounded. I dont know how to explain it very well, but they way he explained it made sence.

Race gas net's in HP due to the fact that your able to run higher boost due to the octane jump having some sense that detonation will hold off due to the cooler burn (not always ofcourse).

Oh, I'm sorry - I don't live on the boards, nor do I get all my info from THIS board. Christ the ************ crowd pulled the same shit when I offer up info that doesn't jive with the popular opinion.

I've personally met 2 MS3 owners who've blown their motors from going to a larger turbo with improper tuning. One guy rebuilt his motor in Stamford CT and is still running the 30R but with stock-ish boost. You act like if you didn't see/read it here it hasn't happened...? Maybe you guys chat about it here but its actually happening "out there". And by blown, I mean high EGT, melt, not hole-in-block. Its a fueling/timing issue.

I think it will be interesting to see people ordering the turbo in the future and to see what the motor can actually handle with a proper tune. Trial and error is the only way to prove the amount of abuse the DISI can take. TurboXS blew their motor at 330whp and now people are saying you can run stock internals up to 350-370whp.

Then again, there's a speed 6 with the same turbo making close to 340whp with stock internals and not having any problems so far.

I'm really considering biting the bullet and doing the turbo upgrade, but am weary of pulling the motor to build it since it's going to be a total bitch.

Hey guys, Dream says dont run racegas so dont do it. Ill just keep on doing it and going faster than the rest of ya! LOL Race gas is gods gift to those who dont settle for what pump gas has to offer. Ive ran 100s of gallons in the last three cars Ive owned and nothing but good results here. Not to mention the 10s of thousands of evo and srt owners that dump that shit into their tank everyday and turn the wick up. Those guys must all have bad bearings! (cryhard)

Any moron who tells me not to run racegas is obviously someone i dont ever want touching my car. Race gas vs regular fuel isnt any worse for your bearings. What should be stated is running RICH and drenching your rings in fuel is what will cause you problems with the bearings.

Ive run more race gas through my truck than regular fuel. Its been fine for 5 years..

Some things about the import scene are annyoing and one of them is the misconception of information.

Screw race gas. Im lucky to put 93 in my car half the time. Ive been using 87 to help me save for that turbo I have ordered. Once the turbo goes on.... I'll only have 2-3 more months of using the cheap stuff. Then it will be like I got the turbo 1/2 price.

I guess Jorge doesnt know what he's talking about then.(jerkit) Your ghetto ass way of cranking the boost and running race gas with no tune is just that, ghetto. Will you make more power? Yes. Will your motor blow up? Probably not. Is it the RIGHT way to go about upping the boost on a car? NO. Anybody that thinks differently should really sell there cars and buy a civic. Good luck to you guys.

Edit, also. I ran 110 oct. race gas in my STi 90% of its life, but I was TUNED for it. Race gas is the shizzle, I had a 100whp difference from my pump to race gas map. Just do it the smart way people!

Ill say it publically. He doesnt know what the fuck he is talking about. Ive been drag racing longer than you have been driving. Ive NEVER had bearing issues using race gas and that statement just makes me want to punch you in the throat. You CAN crank the boost up on these cars without a tune because they run RICH! This is Direct Injection incase you forgot.

Its ok Dream... your name fits you perfectly.. you can only DREAM of being a true car enthusiast.

Race gas can serve 2 purposes.. Increased timing and boost or used as a safety margin. You import guys kill me sometimes.

I don't understand why can't we understand the higher the octane the better it conbusts therefore making the engine run cooler and less of a chance of detonation. The only reason you would TUNE to use race gas is to get the most power possible, but you can still safely run 110 off the showroom floor without any issues. Unless I'm mistaken, then chime in.

This is why me and you would get along just fine. This Dream guy spits out nothing but what others tell him. Ive been tuning, building, and racing import cars for over 10 years now. If used right race gas is very beneficial. Though my childish ways of looking at things is whats gonna put me ahead of guys like Dream who have no balls and drag race with their tail between their legs to fill the void. LOL.

Ps. I love you guys I just hate, when someone says, he said she said. Try it for yourself Dream and see yourself. Throw some 110 in your car. Turn the boost up to 22psi and see how much faster it pulls. Id be willing to bet my ass that 22psi on 110 is safer than 18psi on pump. In fact Im pretty positive. Now throwing race gas in at 14psi is probably a waste. No need and no benefit. But around 18-24psi you would have less chance of pulling timing and having any chance of detonation. Plus you could run a leaner afr and gain even more power. Thats the point of it. Not to just throw it in there. Im sure 90% of us are smarter than that. When Im on pump I tune for around 11.5ish. When on race gas I tune for 12.5ish. That little bit adds whp trust me.

You are very right. You can throw that shit in there bone stock and not hurt a thing. Probably wouldnt gain anything, but it might just help a tad. I had it in there with testpipe and bc and ran 108 traps at 22-18psi. So I know it works.

As long as it isn't leaded you are not doing any harm. The 110 octane I have seen at motorcycle trackdays has all been leaded, but the guys tuned to use it never had cats anyways.

In any case, increasing the octane rating of the gas you are using is pretty much useless if thats the only thing you are doing. The higher the octane rating; the less energy it contains. It burns slower and is harder to ignite, thus making it great for keeping the detonation bogyman away, but if you haven't tuned the car then you shouldn't have to worry about detonation anyway.

So basically what your saying is throw some race gas in and turn the boost up and your safe? Please clarify for me? Punch me in the throat? What do you have some kind of anger problem? Sure they run rich stock, Mazda did that on purpose so idiots like you guys dont blow up, then you map clamp, crank the boost and throw in some leaded race fuel and think your ok.

stick a map clamp, crank the boost up and throw some leaded race fuel in an evo and a mazda and see which one blows quicker. Not blaming it all on mazda but the parts they put into these motors could be a lot better quality.

um and about the whole caliber thing mentioned before. i'd love to see a MS3 vs caliber shoot out day at a 1/4 mile track and not this crap i've been readin in motor trend and motor week where they take two stock cars. i'm talking about forum vs forum guess it would be smart to break everything into a couple classes like stock ( says itself no mods just stock ) , semi stock ( i.e. bolt ons only no turbo ugrades nitrous or meth ) , and a renegade class" couldn't think of a better name " ( this class is anything goes , nitrous , meth inj. , turbo ugrades ,etc. ) i'd drive anywhere to see that and like driver311 i use to own a srt4 prior to my speed 3. I was actually going to buy the caliber srt4 till my dealership got it and i drove it and it was nothing like the speed 3 and not worth the money. i work at a dealership that sells both the mazdaspeed line up and the dodge srt line up and both compared i did like my old neon srt4 but the caliber compared to my speed 3 i've driven both and much happier when i drove the speed 3 but i'm not starting not want to start a whole which is better the caliber or 3 so please don't change topics i'm just giving my opinion and i saw someone mentioned something like this a couple pages ago.

Subies blow up if they arent tuned. They arent direct inject.. Same goes for Cobras, Lightnings, Z28's, SRT-4s or whatever else out there using traditional fuel injection. DI has a higher lean rate and these cars are pigass rich from the factory. Again, do your homework and research before spouting off.

Yawn, another STi owner claiming to make 500hp and the turd gets blown out of the hole by a pickup truck making 900 pounds of torque. Check your PMs.. ill send you a link to a video of me crushing an EVO thats been modded. i let off half track and blowing through the traps at a 12.24.

If i believed in no tuning with upping boost, i wouldnt be at 22 psi on a twin screw blower, now would i?

A bone stock lighting can go 4 psi over stock with no tune, making safe power. An MS3 can go to 18 psi without a sweat.

The 4G63 would is less likely to blow than probably any other I4 out there. It is also quite crude in comparison to the disi motors when it comes to technology. The mazda motor may not be steel block idestructable like the 4G63, however it is a quality piece and at the forefront of technology with Direct injection.

enjoy the octane boys...

FORMULA 1
Toulene
R+M/2...114
Cost...$2.50/gal
Mixtures with 92 Octane Premium
10%...94.2 Octane
20%...96.4 Octane
30%...98.6 Octane
Notes: Common ingredient in Octane Boosters in a can. 12-16 ounces will only raise octane 2-3 *points*, I.e. from 92 to 92.3. Often costs $3-5 for 12-16 ounces, when it can be purchased for less than $3/gal at chemical supply houses or paint stores.
FORMULA 2
Xylene
R+M/2...117
Cost...$2.75/gal
Mixtures with 92 Octane Premium
10%...94.5 Octane
20%...97.0 Octane
30%...99.5 Octane
Notes: Similar to Toulene. 12-16 ounces will only raise octane 2-3 *points*, I.e. from 92 to 92.3. Usually mixed with Toulene and advertised as *race formula*.

FORMULA 3
Methyl-tertiary-butyl-ether (MTBE)
R+M/2...118
Cost...$3.50/gal
Mixtures with 92 Octane Premium
10%...94.6 Octane
20%...97.2 Octane
30%...99.8 Octane
Notes: Oxygenate. Very common in octane booster products. Has lower BTU content than toulene or xylene, but oxygenate effect makes the gasoline burn better and produce more energy.

FORMULA 4
Methanol or Ethanol
R+M/2...101
Cost...$0.60 - $1.75/gal
Mixtures with 92 Octane Premium
10%...94.3 Octane (Methanol)
10%...94.7 Octane (Ethanol)
20%...Not Recommended
Notes: Methanol is wood alcohol. Ethanol is grain alcohol and found in Gasohol in 10% ratios. Both alcohols are mildly corrosive and will eat gas tank linings, rubber and aluminum if used in excessive ratios. Main ingredient in "Gas Dryers", combines with water.

FORMULA 5
Isopropyl Alcohol and Tertiary Butyl Alcohol
R+M/2...101
Cost...$0.60-$1.50/gal
Mixtures with 92 Octane Premium
10%...94.5 Octane
20%...Not Recommended
30%...Not Recommended
Notes: Similar to Methanol/Ethanol. Isopropyl Alcohol is simply rubbing alcohol.


MAKE YOUR OWN OCTANE BOOST
How to make your own octane booster (this is the basic formula of one of the popular octane booster products). To make eight 16 ounce bottles (128 oz = 1 gal):

100 oz of toulene for octane boost
25 oz of mineral spirits (cleaning agent)
3 oz of transmission fluid (lubricating agent)

This product is advertised as "octane booster with cleaning agent *and* lubricating agent!". Diesel fuel or kerosene can be substituted for mineral spirits and light turbine oil can be substituted for transmission fluid. Color can be added with petroleum dyes.

Well Ive got to wait until the manifold gets here too, before I start ripping stuff off. I have 2 days scheduled at my shop the 10th and 11th to get this all on and tuned. Maybe you'll beat me to it.

I agree as well but tunning has a big factor....depends on how agressive u tune the car....when i had my GTO i had two maps one was 385whp and the crazy agressive tune was 410whp.....The 410whp was race map only there was no way i would drive that car daily like that...idle was crazy and timing was advanced and that map was a gas hog....

yep i would. with a cdfp and intank pump. not without either one. why would just a new turbo require the ecu to be modded ? it is just creating boost right ? the engines sensors will see all the correct info right ? the will read the MAF and o2's and adjust as needed... just like it does on my car with
20psi. the issue arises when yo start maxing out your MAF or running out of fuel. i am willing to bet that member went lean and blew up. with a proper fuel system it would not have happened. ods are he held big boost up top and ran out of fuel. i'm sure it didnt happen at low-mid RPM. if anythin the car will run richer in the mid range beacuse the big turbo will spool up slower.

everything you know or think you know means nothing on this car. its not a WRX. this is by far the best ECU i have ever dealt with.

I've decided that I'm probably not going to run a bigger turbo in this car as I'm going to make this a daily driver. I am on the other hand looking for a weekender and have come across a balls to the wall clean S13 240 making about 410WHP. GT28, SR20DET with head work, bottom end, and a lot of other goodies. I just think with that type of power in a speed 3 it's going to be hard to get it to the ground. Also, the amount I'm going to have to spend on it will be close to what I'll pay for another car and I know I won't get nearly what I put into it down the road.

i have spoken to chris a while back, he did mention that he didnt even romp on it and it basically just blew in two blocks. i've done my datalogs, our injectors are sitting at 42-45% dutycycle so we have fuel. Fine tuning will help, but simple mechanics...with the fuel we have available this car WILL put 330+ on the ground without a tune(praying the ECU lets us). I've heard the term "pig rich" since ive been screwing with cars for 12yrs now but by far the MS3 takes the cake for the biggest fuel hog i've ever owned.

on a side note, Chris' car would be the sickest in the Speed community hands down! but this friggin ECU is a joke, i really hope some vendor like AEM, Haltec or nemesis takes a look at him and develops a full or inline standalone for his car.....too much work to go to waste. i'd love to have a 5-600awhp monster.

i was under the impression that ATP put a bigger spring rate wastegate on his turbo on accident

if you're driving a big turbo car around the block, not romping on it, you'd be out of boost, which means no pressure and next to no chance of blowing the block.

maybe he forgot to put oil in? i dont know, but i don't believe that he was just cruising down the street and "pop". no boost on a 3071/3076r vs no boost on a k04 = just that, no boost, no difference.

42-45% dutycycle is just about maxed out on a direct injection engine. You can only inject during intake and compression, so 50% is all you get. (freak)

Like I said, I REALLY hope my dealer will work with me, but you know how that goes. I am assuming that the smoking turbo won't hurt to be on the car another 3 months or so, because that is the time frame I am looking at to have all of these parts in my garage.

the duty cycle thing has thrown me for a loop too, i must admit. when you say 45% duty cycle i understand 100% what that means on a standard FI car, but DI is way different. does that mean they are working at 45% during the brief period they get to spray, or is it like a standard car and that number relates to how long the injectors are open during all 4 stages of combustion ?? if that is the case and 100% would mean the injector never closes that would mean 45-50% is absolutly maxxed. i am stumped.

There is the added complexity of the fuel pump pressure, which can be controlled by the ECU - more pressure means more gas for a given duty cycle.

tru tru. the SRT4 has a static fuel pressure of 1600 psi and our is close to 1800psi i believe...the SRT's though are able to run a return line start fuels system with a RRFPR. i hope something like that is in our future, all else fails just give us bigger injectors.

i understand that, but that still doesnt tell us how much we can squeeze out of our injectors. what i want to know is how is the duty cycle for DI rated.
if the injecters were at 100% would that mean 100% non stop spray (which is not how DI works) or that they are at 100% duty within their proper spray period ? i have a feeling mrlilguy is gonna come school us on this..... i hope he does cuz i sure as hell dont know ! me personally, i think new injectors are in order. from some of the logs from laloosh and dadasracecar i have seen they still run real lean when running through the gears. and they have upgraded CDFP's ! the car will command 9.5:1 AFR but not drop below 13:1 in many cases. that tells me there is still a fuel delivery problem somewhere.

direct injected car from my reading have lean periods in the combustion process. wiki or google "engine direct injection". the technology was meant to run pretty lean somewhere in the combustion cycle. lastly, i dont see the VW and Audi guys having any problems and they have been DI for years.

What little I know is, not to use injectors beyond 75-80% cycle, and I thought they open and close in relation to the combustion point during the 4 stroke cycle. With disi I thought one was able to move injector opening moments to our advantage. I am only trying to become more educated on these subjects thanks

Almost none of those engines you listed can handle 500hp on the stock block. I also have an sr20det, the most you should run on a stock block on that motor is 350ish whp, which is even sorta pushing it. ej20's can't come close to 500hp on the stock blocks. 4g63 is gonna have crank walk at that power level on a stock block. Hell, even the tt 300zx with its extremely strong 6 cylinder engine can't really handle 500whp, i think scc's blew up in the low 400's. Srt4's also can't handle 500hp on the stock block for a very long time. And that is crank horsepower, no way any of those cars can touch that with whp, like really, it would be a bad idea.

We also aren't talking about 80-100whp over stock, you can make that with bolt on's with this car. they are stating 450 chp, which is like 390whp, about 150whp more than stock. I would be shoked if the engine could handle that much power.

To tell you the truth, I think 400whp in this car is retarded, any fwd car for that matter, you end up with two completely useless gear and one pretty useless gears. But I know alot of people are really into dragging.

That's because KA's top end cant handle that much power, the bottom end is pretty strong. Don't get me wrong, you can build a strong turbo ka for about 2k, but whats the point, its still not carb legal and an sr20det cost 1,000 and for that extra 1k can make 300whp. Plus, they rev ALOT higher, which is nice for both drifting and road courses in cars with turbo lag.


And the supra is a completely different animal, the most powerful I6 ever built, that and the rb, but it may actually be stronger than the RB.

Neither is an SR20DET swap, LOL. And I know someone making 500whp on a stock internal KA24DE with a T04. And revving higher is an excuse for people who don't have torque.

no disrespect but i dunno what planet you are from but people are doing 430-450awhp out of the ej20 and ej25(safely) for years, 4g63's have been doing 450-500whp on stock bottom end, talk to buschur and AMS. I've owned a gt30 SR20det GTi-R nissan pulsar 390awhp all day. i've also owned a SRT-4 417whp, current owner has been @ 482 for the past three years...breaking axles left and right and tearing up the 03' tranny but its still going. so as i was saying....all these motors are capable of 500hp and i think everyone else basically agreed with me.

We can do it, there are quite a few speed6's that are over 300+whp with a gt30, times that by 15-20% depending on the power you make and that should equate to somewhere around 330+whp for us. There should be no doubt that we're safe, all i want from this car is 330-360whp. Shit anything over 330 makes the car useless in the first three gears but having that kind of power is a reassurance.

what i am interested in, is to learn more about DI and what it will take for it to sustain a respectable, but not excessive, amount of power. i think 350whp (with torque numbers hovering around 400ft-lbs) is more than enough to propel any MS3 to easy 11 second timeslips (with driver mod), and is perfect for a road course. (note: i like having about 20-30hp more than i need on a road course, allows for some throttle modulation)

Its the whole JDM thing.

+1. On our front driver with our gearing, I would be perfectly happy with around 350 wheel, and 400-410ftlbs. I wouldn't want any more unless I was building the tranny and running slicks to handle it all.

However...I also wouldn't mind going the AMS/Burschur Evo route. Big power numbers with good times.

Neither is an SR20DET swap, LOL. And I know someone making 500whp on a stock internal KA24DE with a T04. And revving higher is an excuse for people who don't have torque.

[/hijack]

Yeah, my point was neither are carb legal, so I don't see the point of a boosted ka, but to each his own.

no disrespect but i dunno what planet you are from but people are doing 430-450awhp out of the ej20 and ej25(safely) for years, 4g63's have been doing 450-500whp on stock bottom end, talk to buschur and AMS. I've owned a gt30 SR20det GTi-R nissan pulsar 390awhp all day. i've also owned a SRT-4 417whp, current owner has been @ 482 for the past three years...breaking axles left and right and tearing up the 03' tranny but its still going. so as i was saying....all these motors are capable of 500hp and i think everyone else basically agreed with me.

We can do it, there are quite a few speed6's that are over 300+whp with a gt30, times that by 15-20% depending on the power you make and that should equate to somewhere around 330+whp for us. There should be no doubt that we're safe, all i want from this car is 330-360whp. Shit anything over 330 makes the car useless in the first three gears but having that kind of power is a reassurance.


You have a link of an ej20 making 450 awp on the stock block? Never seen it on a stock block before, never even seen close to it, on a 100% stock block. And stock bottom end, again, is not stock block.

All I remember from a 500whp srt4 is the first video I saw on srtforums when the car went boom about 20 minutes after install. But who knows, I could be wrong,but just about every car with that kind of power has a built motor that I have seen on those forums. If your gonna spend money to go that big, might as well do it right.

worst. math. ever. 300/10 (10%) = 30hp. At 15/20%, that'd be 45-60hp.

350whp+

we'll see.

come here to michigan and i'll show you six or seven without flinching.

and as far as your carb thing too, not every state in the country has carb laws that are enforced. here i could no cats all day for the next ten years and not worry about emissions and i know that a lot of states have different rules and regulations that allow for newer cars to not get tested for 5 years. but anyway continue....i'm sure you had a point some where.

Im a Subie guy and im not sure I have seen a EJ20 (WRX 2l block) put out 450whp either, am I reading this right? The EJ257 (STi, LGT, 06+WRX) 2.5 block will crank out near 500whp on the stocker.

I agree whole heartedly. While I am not looking to upgrade my turbo or crank out 350+HP just yet, if I was, I think there is no sense in not doing it the right way. You guys can argue as much as you want about whether or not this motor (or any motor) can handle all this power on a stock block, the point is, why risk it and waste your money only doing half the job? If you go forged at the same time you will exponentially reduce the risk of blowing a hole in the block and increase the overall quality of the car. Just doesn't make sense to me to do it any other way...

im from an island where all we drive are jdm vehicles, nothing american because they are too expensive to import. Read my thread, u will notice that i said 430-450awhp for the subies and then said 500hp...big difference between whp and hp. i have MANY Sti buddies here in miami that have stock block Sti's in that range, actually thats a typicallity with GT35 or FP red upgrades. And do some looking around, the ej20 thats used in the JDM STi is one ROBUST mofo.

This is coming from a gear head who at 16 got a 2000 evolution 6 TME for his birthday, i've dealth with my share of cars...trust me

again no disrespect but how many turbo cars have you owned?

i personally knew the owner of that 03' solar yellow srt-4, he was the first person to hit that kind of horsepower on the srt's static fuel system with a FPR and using stock injectors and a SAFC II..absolutely no engine management. Next, he was in 500hp trim for close to 3 months before it blew with numerous track passes and im 100% sure you didnt get that 20 minute BS story from the srtforums, if so i dare you to refer me to a thread: 80% of srt's that have 450hp plus do NOT have built blocks. lastly, do some trolling @ the sti, evom, sr20 and srt forums before you say anything else anymore wrong than you already have. This is how rumors and lies get started on the net.

Anyway just some background and fyi i've owned: srt4, galant vr-4, 4g63 swapped conquest tsi, Evolution 6 TME, Evolution 5(uncles), Evolution III gsr, nissan GTi-r sunny(moms) and pulsar, Rb25det r33 skyline(grand dads), 91 procharged mustang, 2 supercharged Tbirds, 1 Cougar xr7 SC and 3 talon tsi's. My ms3 is the only car i've ever financed and i'm apart of just about all the car communities related to the vehicles i listed above, so i can reassure you that the last thing you'll ever get from me is statistics or hearsay and i will admit when im wrong about things or when im unsure but when its comes to the platforms we're discussing...im usually not.

if you are talking about my evo, it came from japan with just over 330awhp and was slightly modded when we brought it over, my grand dad never wanted me to own a really fast car. The caribbean is a turbo lovers dream because we dont drive american cars, just cheaper to import. Reason i messed with so many cars is my grand dad use to own an import company and on many a weekend when i went to the lot and saw something i like i'd basically just take the keys and a dealer plate until the car was sold. I was spoiled! i kno.
