Just joined up and looking to build a fox body for my DD so I can build my Talon for the strip. Its got a lot done to it but I want to up the turbo and hope for some 10's up in my altitude. Here are some photos. I can post them yet so here is a link.
Car is a beast for what it is. The turbo is pretty much one of the cheapest turbos for our cars ($550) and I'm making near or over 400whp. I get full spool by 3200rpm's which is real fast and it lights all 4 tires up in 1st and when shifting into 2nd real hard.
The e85 allows me to get 32psi and 27* timing at a safe 11.5:1 AFR. This is with zero detonation. Before when I was on pump gas I ran 18psi max and 20* timing with 4-8 counts of knock (detonation) on a rich 10.9 AFR.
Im getting an hx40 Holset, the turbo used to upgrade Cummins Diesels. Hopefully will get into the 10's on the OEM long block and make 550-600whp.

Havnt got it to the track since I broke my windshield and they wouldnt let me run. Now the track is closed till next summer. Buddy of mine ran best of 12.7 with a 1.9 60' which is horrible.
We have pretty much the same setup, but mine is a little better. With some slicks I'm thinking of an easy low 12. Wish I could go to sealevel and get a mid to low 12 on the same setup.
91 LX: Re-Donated to a kid with Cerebral Palsy; my younger brother. He's going to finish the project. He can't walk, so it's going to get hand controls installed and race it. For details, visit www.myspace.com/projectlowbudget
Ohh yea I know, this turbo is maxed and is real small. I see full boost by 3600rpms which is pretty quick for that much boost. I will be running a hx35 at 35psi and hoping for 550whp once I swap it in.
