I guess this is why it's important to know what you're getting into:

I'm not calling BS, but it seems like you would have to do A LOT of engine work to a mid 15 second car to see these kind of #'s

this is not gonna be easy.. you need a built motor and to remove a lot of weight..

but if you do run nitrous it should be much easier...

and with a fully built motor you might as well run a sick turbo with massive psi..

You should come to the F/I section more often.

They ran it during the TV show PIPES that they are on. Show is on ESPN2 every Saturday until they are done with the competition.

Here is the thread I had started. Follow the pages, forget which one, but Kenny reported like an 8.xx 1/8th mile and a 13.8 1/4 mile.

good luck on the bottle, check those plugs constantly!


Just as some creative critisism, if you have to get your roommate to put on simple bolt ons, maybe you shouldn't be messing with the bottle

Anyway, I can' believe your roomate is using that jack to work on your car!
yep. no turbo tC's in vegas. and no clubs. but ive been talking to everyone from here trying to set something up, maybe start some weekly tC meets here in vegas.
and bcnu_702 said that he is getting zpi stage 0 next week! so maybe we will get a few turbos in the next couple of months. (including myself and at least 3 others)

Hey olahalo and others, I'm stationed out here in Vegas as well. New to the club scenes, if you start one let me know, I'd be interested in attending.

Actually, I got a PM the other night and was informed the following:
"Yeah Sin Scity Scions and Scion Evolution and Marvelous Scions come out here from So Cal a lot"
Marvelous Scions meets every saturday night at eight. 2 of them (FMtC_krstnmj is one) have the ZPI stage 0 kit, but not installed yet. Also, LilTrublsm has the treadstone kit, I believe, but is having some install issues, so it's not quite running yet.
bcnu 702 and I are both planning on boost soon.
All in all, it's starting to look good here in Vegas!

I'm just gonna chime in cause my Vegas buddies are on here! Wuzzzzzaaaaaaaaap! Yep gonna be ordering my ZPI stage 0 on monday, and also getting an intercooler upgrade in June (cause it just gets all sorts of hot here) and we have a secret weapon of our own. We will be doing the install of both our ZPI stage 0 kits not this upcoming weekend but the next (3rd weekend in April) at my place, so anyone from vegas is invited to chill, watch, help, et cetera. Woot woot for the Turboed Vegans!!!

By the way fairladyz, congrats on your "secret weapon" coming in. Keep me updated on your progress. We will have to schedule a Vegas track day!

I got the Tein guy on froogle. I just typed it in and found the lowest cost.

He's so cute.........

All my roomate did was jack the car up and he did that because he didn't want me to hurt his new driveway.........

No problem bro! I'm trying to get Liltrblsm to go too, since he has a treadstone kit. Hope he has gotten that working. Haven't heard any updates as of yet.

x2 on the project fairladyz, oh and where are those pics of the parts that we all wish we had access to?
