and where did these numbers come from? theres an mx3 in quebec thats in the 10s.similar setup to jakes too.

It was a figure of speech.

I could care less about costs, I like brands.

And you are one to talk, there has got to be more money in your "big single" stang than mine and mark's combined. Running yet? Should be a killer setup....

Well I still don't see how the $899 USD Turbo from Turbocalculator.com is worth than my car?

And hurry up and finish your car so we can race.

mx3 weigh alot less.... and a doubt it untill i see prove.

ZR1onValet

^^^ that MX3 has been in the import game since it started......you like probes and dont know about that car??? You must be like 15..................

SuprAdam

Mine has a .81 a/r as opposed to the .94 a/r it is supposed to come with. It has also been switched from a super to4 flange to a standard to4 flange rear discharge housing...Not to mention my 45* elbow welded on the comp. housing. That bumps the cost to over $1000usd.

700rwhp CAPABLE turbo (Just under 500rwhp at 20psi, my goal) for $1000usd, heh not bad if you ask me. For the record, I paid considerably less than $1000us for it.

Whatever, it was a figure of speech, relax.

You might, actually, you most likely WILL beat my white car with this setup. However, you will not stand a chance in hell against the other one when its done. That car will weigh about as much as you do.

500-700hp admiting defeat??? What happened to picking on bikes? Yeah yeah everybody has "another" car nobody can beat..................care to try my calloway c4?

2g's are scrap. the fastest pgt/mx6 is still a first gen before it went rwd/4link/2jz powered, 11.20 @ 129mph, matt fall last year, running an fe3 with just new pistons in it. stock everything else internally. im running the same motor, and its put cars into the 8's. ive heard of 2g's supposed to be going 10's forever. havent seen it happen yet, even though they have a newer and bigger motor... wonder why that is...
same motor is powering the fastest fwd mazda's on the planet, thats a fact. the ZE's would have picked up by now if they were any good. 2g guys should stick to body kits and leave the performance stuff to the first gen guys, who unfortunately, dont do much better of a job anyways

^It turns me on when you talk cars.... don\'t stop.

GLI

theoretically i should be running low 8's...

someone down in the states has done it... they posted so on the intranet!!!!

this discussion reminds me of turbo dodges book of excuses 2003/04

TOILETDUCK

Blackout....actually I just go it home from the shop, I was getting the intercooler piping done, I will have some pics posted soon of it, and please dont remind me how much Ive spent. lol.

lol im guess you have a first gen

fall guys car is no longer a probe lol... jsut a rolling chasise
but still a bad *** car

dj_jake

if you would like any of pics i took of your engine bay before it got the piping done, lmk, i can post them

dj_jake

learn to write properly.

whats your point if its not a probe anymore? its not exactly a "rolling chasise" by any means either. point is, you claimed some mid 11 second probe was the fastest, which as you obviously knew, isnt true, since fallguy has been going low 11's on a mostly stock fe3 for how long now...
it doesnt matter now, since i dont see that 2jz/th400 powered probe with a backhalving KIT from some website assembled in his garage going any faster then when it was fwd... leave it to an amateur and expect to have it going into a wall right off the line

dan's abomination that you posted is also of little significance. the thing is built on cut corners. he has a DIY roll cage meant to LOOSELY fit some mustang that is modified to fit his car... what more is there to say? his goals arent very high either... he would be happy with 400whp...

either way, why should i be worried? my car is built in less time then his, im younger and i still go to school & work, and i didnt add a couple sponsers to help me build it either. with his $200 roll cage and his $100 ems, im not worried even if he has more displacement. there is a big difference between those ZE wrecks and FE3 powerhouses

fe3's like this own the ZE's:

dj_jake

the mx3 he is speaking of was this one:


fastest it ever went was 11.15 @ 134mph, which i think held some kind of canadian fwd import record during the imports scene's infancy

dave sold the mx3 a long time ago, to another freind of ours, eric. eric took the mx3, cut a significant amount of weight out, and moved a GT35R powered FE3 setup into it. it went a best of 10.8 @ 130mph while breaking 3rd gear... i.e. not a complete run. no good pics of it, this is it now though

he is now GT42R powered... some may have seen him at the track if youve been in quebec recently...


dave, previous owner of the mx3, got sponsered by mazda among others, and did a protege drag car. at this point, the FE3's potential was pretty clear to all of us, as it was putting cars into the 8's overseas. dave did a very cool turbo fe3 setup, and ran a best of 10.11 @ 149mph, but i havent heard much from that car since...

i got the FE3 since i was already well versed on the first gen stuff, so i gave it a go earlier this year as well. so 3 of us in canada are now running the built FE3's, all in different chassis though. car is being prepared now, so sooner or later, it will be run. nuff said
