This is a video of my first autocross. Had the car about a month. Turns out that the exhaust was plugged and the car wasn’t making much power. SWVR SCCA – Southern West Virginia Region Autocross Solo Mike Bartram 2/17/08 Riverside High

Well, he “could” be running that. The T3 runs out of efficiency so after 15 he is blowing hot air. I know the t3 CAN do 25 but it is completely stupid to do so unless you have a really good intake cooling system.

Well just post a video of your car and prove all the haters wrong!

Because its simply beyond the stock T3 turbo capabilities to run a constant 20lbs of boost much less 25lbs. and yup, Im a retard because I can write out legible sentences in correct english and know my shit instead of making stupid claims right?
bigboigman | February 1, 2010 at 8:55 am
well ur fucking retarded how would u kno wht im running i hit 25lbstht was the highest asshole
1171kray | February 1, 2010 at 8:55 am
i call BS, stock turbo is good to 15-16 lbs
Pigioto1 | February 1, 2010 at 8:55 am

School? How old are you? Ya i know! I have a 1982 280zx and all iv done to it is a new flowmaster exhaust but its very quick. Im planing on going twin turbo
MikeB1357 | February 1, 2010 at 8:55 am
It’s stock right now except for a little exhaust work. I’m going to piddle with the suspension and engine when I get out of school and have some time/money.
Even as it is, it’s still fun as heck to drive.
Pigioto1 | February 1, 2010 at 8:55 am

MikeB1357 | February 1, 2010 at 8:55 am

Pigioto1 | February 1, 2010 at 8:55 am
He could smoke anything cuz well he wasent rich or nothing but he had a lot of hookups. It had an RB30DETT boosting 200 pounds and he had 150 shots of NOZ. Custome Jerrybuilt boltons and a lot of other shit lol. Well he didnt race. It flew by him and he wanted to catch up to it when he saw his brakes where smoking. He wanted to slow down and the brakes werent reponding. He tried to stop using the hand brake, spun out and shatered it…that was a lot or riting lol. He just got a Evo9 with a RB26T
terpman58 | February 1, 2010 at 8:55 am
did he beat the supra??? I have only raced a couple times(beat a couple celicas) The S15s are really nice though, sucks he crashed it.
Pigioto1 | February 1, 2010 at 8:55 am
o thats kool. I have a 1982 280zx. I want to buy a S30 240Z. 240sx ha? My friend Had a s15 240sx with a Silvia conversian until he crashed it on the freeway racing a supra.
terpman58 | February 1, 2010 at 8:55 am

Pigioto1 | February 1, 2010 at 8:55 am

terpman58 | February 1, 2010 at 8:55 am

Pigioto1 | February 1, 2010 at 8:55 am
not for him lol
terpman58 | February 1, 2010 at 8:55 am
i think thats a good thing???
MikeB1357 | February 1, 2010 at 8:55 am
Umm, is that good or bad?








































My stock T3 only puts out 10psi boost max. I unplugged the vacuum line to the wastegate and that’s as high as it will go. Which is good I guess, beause that’s as high as you probably should run it without an intercooler. But I’m wondering how people are getting 15+ out of a stock turbo.
