here are some pictures of my other car and former car. i have been into car tuning and drag racing since the mid 90's. i love turbo cars and rotary engines ![]() here are a couple pics of my tiburon when it was boosted.. now is back to stock since my plans are to rebuild the swift and boost it and need a car i can rely. i did all the R&D and pretty much everything else from mechanical to electrical componest(piggyback) to tuning. the exhaust manifold, turbo and downpipe are from a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 8 and i retrofitted it to fit my Hyundai Tiburon. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() this is my old car.. 95 Mercedes Benz C220. I loved that car but it was seriously under powered and got tired of it. it was surprisingly easy to fix and the parts were about the same as other cars. ![]() ![]() ![]()

never had the time to dyno it. but i ran 14.1 @99mph at the 1/4 mile at 9 psi. i upped the boost to 15 psi and it felt WAY faster... BUT i had no traction, i could brake the tires loose in 4th gear. at the drag stip with more boost it ment worst ET's with higher trap speeds. with slicks and at least a phantom grip i could easily run high 12's. you can see in the video that on the takeoff im behind and thats because i had to either burn the clutch of i would get mad wheel hop. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VY26Ch9dRrA here a vid of a driveby http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rp9RhHQLFl8 Edited by SLS, Jul 5 2010, 01:04 PM.
