i said "pump fuel" to the best of my knowledge i have the highest hp car with an inline pro turbo kit and only use pump fuel.



i understand that inline pro has made more power than me with RACE GAS. i have not done a dyno run with race gas.


am i right?

 

Couldn't have said it better.

 

when i brought the "s" to the shop i told them that i want a "strong engine, that makes its power on pump 93 octane fuel".

so the shop recomended low comp pistons in order to run high boost with pump fuel.

 

No offence to you young guys who are being sucssefull I think thats great that at your ages you can do all those things. Especially buying a house, I commend you all for your ablities. I was talking in general to most of the kids out there building there dream cars, when I was a kid not that i'm that old, only 41 I and most of my car friends were broke everything we made went into our cars or our girlfriends there was'nt much left for anything else. So again great job younger generation.

As far as building a car with 600hp go's I guess that may be stetching the limits of this little car, if it means running race gas to keep it together so be it. I used to have to run it to keep my cuda together.

My intentions are not to abuse this car rather drive it and have fun I don't know too much about FI but my understanding is that I would not have to run the boost way up all the time thus making the car more driveable and less likely to break.

 

Please do not feel that I am trying to challenge, or argue with you. I am simply just trying to comment on what you stated - using facts that I have read and heard from the owners/tuners of vehicles.

On 'pump gas', you may be right. However, on the flip side - making 525whp on 93 octane, you may have the highest horsepower S2000 for pump gas using any kit, whether it be Inline Pro or LoveFab. My question is though, why would you want that much power using pump gas? There is reason why no one else has tried to compete with those numbers, its not safe.

As well, last I read when Greaser had posted regarding your vehicle on DragVa he specifically stated to someone, 'Nowhere did i mention 25psi on pump gas.'. From what I had read, those numbers were using race gas. However, my information could be inaccurate. That still though does not really help. Again I am not trying to argue with you, I am just letting you know - there is a reason why no one else on these boards are trying to compete with that number, 525whp on pump gas.

 

Actually, that's about what I'm running on 93 octane.

 

fperra: How much do you drive the car and what kind of boost do you run
for normal driving. Also with bigger turbo how much lag do you get when not running big boost.

 

I haven't been driving much lately because I'm in the process of moving from Texas to Washington. I only drive the car if the weather is good enough for the top to be down. As far as power goes, I switch back and fourth from 15 psi to 17.5 psi, depending on my mood. I'll be putting in the Differential Techniques Nissan conversion package soon and that may change my choices on boost, since it has a 4.3 ratio, and I currently running stock 4.10. When I was running Rick's 4.56, the tires were always breaking loose, so I switched back to the stock ratio.

 

 

HMM, and I was thinkin to run 19psi on pump. Isn't someone around here running 22psi on pump though???
