Default What kind of track times can I expect with this set up?

Hi there. I currently have I/H/E with test pipe on my 94 gsr. My best 1/4 mile time is 15 flat running on 17's wrapped in street tires.

That being said, I plan on getting a greddy turbo kit with FMIC. I do not plan any engine mods in the near future, so I will have to use stock boost level (someone please tell me how many pounds this is). If anyone here has a set up similar to this, what kind of track times can I expect? Thanks.

I have a friend with a gsr with a greddy turbo kit and he runs 6 psi to be on the safe side. Everything else stock and it is runnin fine. 5-7 psi i think is the way to go.

Do you know what kind of quarter mile times he was getting?

What I'm trying to figure out is if I will be able to break into 13s with factory boost level.

How fast you run in the 1/4 depends on more than just how much horsepower you're making. Since we're talking modified cars here you have to worry about things like what kind of clutch, what kind of tires, any sort of added traction bars, etc.

That said, you may indeed be able to hit high 13s with the GReddy turbo (keep in mind that you don't get to keep your i/h/e when you put on a turbo) but it's really speculative at this point.

If you're looking at the FMIC GReddy kit that means you don't care about CARB exemptions so I would look into another kit which makes more power if you're really trying to bust some low ETs. The GReddy kit is more aimed at providing a responsive engine for driving on the street because it has a smaller turbo that spools up more quickly than the ones that come in kits like DRAG and RevHard.
