is this the bullshit thread or what, your dsm does not do 178 mph, sorry, also reading yor sig, why the hell would you put a 2g head on your 1g when the 1g head flows ALOT better than a 2g head. you're all outa wack aren't ya?

n20teg

ok sry iv been told dsm would go to a 178 by a few people, but where do you get your info about flow 1g head are good for low low end 2g flow ALot better up top plus its port and polished with cams

sorry to burst your bubble chris....but 2G heads ARE better than 1G heads, 2g heads have been the one chosen for the evo (mitsu's hot rod) till this day, also, buschur and rau are both rumored to be using 2G heads , they have way induce way more velocity, way more torque than a 1G head, as several engineers/big time gearheads have said, the 2G intake port is "just right", the 1g port is "too big", dont believe me about the lag/loss of torque, i'd be glad to trade you cylinder heads off of my 1G motor, low end power SUCKS with it, and the top end gain really isn't noticable until you get bigtime power, his head is also matched to 1g intake port....oh ya, FWD DSM gear @ 7500 RPM without wind resistence factored is approximately, guess how much....178 mph ...if ya dont believe it, do the dip switch mod, get some race gas, and bury your speedometer, experience pwnz!!

Why would you be suprised about other cars being fast? 'Busa is fast, and depending on what year it is it might have a governor (sp) on it. I know first series (until '99 or '00 I believe) were the versions without the limiter, hitting just under 220 as a top speed.

I have seen a video of a T-66 Supra eating a GSXR-1000 (newer one) pretty badly. If you can get into 10s with your car it's going to be a very very close race. So don't be suprised about some fast ass car passing you by, it just proves that you can make anything fast longest you pour alot of money into it. I prefer bikes though because they are pertty quick from the factory, after the ZX-10 got released that's the only thing I want now.

You think with 150 crank Hp and almost 3000lbs you will be able to reach 160mph? Are you using KM/h maybe?

I think that you should be honest at least...

its not really about how fast your running through the 1/4, is how much trap speed you are getting, if you are trapping in the 135's (which generally most single turbo supra's will) then you can give a hayabusa a pretty hard time, the 140+'s, then you can probably put one behind you from a roll.....but wtf, a bug??

160mph in a beetle?
