Find turbo thead in perfomance section. Somebody drove 13.8 on 1\4 mile on turbo TL.

you are posting on a web forum, not sending an alpha numeric text to someones pager, type out your question in complete sentences so someone with an education can decipher it.

13.8 turbocharged is not very impressive IMO. My car rolled on an ss camaro stock on the freeway with a 500 dollar nitrous kit that took 30 minutes to install.

stas2007

How was your tl with the nos?was it reliable? Also what kit did you use and how big of the shot?

TLin401

I think he is talking about his other car?

go90go told me his TL is on nitrous...

Go90go

^ Yeah, right. Boost before juice. Then turbo so big you need juice to spool it.

instead of critising his spelling, could someone give him an answer? To be honest... most of you type American-English... which Webster (yes, the man behind the American dictionary) simply took from Brittish-English and chopped up a few words to abbreviate them, shorten the spelling... which of course is very familiar and similar... n da way txt msg has evolvd ova time.

Don't believe me, ask your neighbour (neighbor?) what colour (color) his armour (armor) is and how it is he can manoeuvre (maneuver) in it...

I've been thinking about turbocharging mine.. j337!

It's just that someone who cannot write more or less normally appears to be an idiot. It's not even that hard to type words, and one should make an effort when communicating with people on a public forum that isn't filled with 12 year olds.

Colt45

its a waste of time and effort. save your money you would spend on just parts to make it fast, and buy a 10 second camaro with the money. When you want to go fast, drive the camaro. its a 4000 lb luxury car with a little engine. give up trying to make it fast.

石春林

Ouch, harsh much? I'm not trying to go fast.. I'm referring to the mechanics behind the technology... it is a fuel-saver when driven correctly. (I'm trying to wean myself off the lead-foot, but I'm all about greenery and fuel-efficiency in this family car I'm building)

If I wanted to go fast, I'd buy a motorcycle... not a weak camaro. IMO, I'd go for a Vette before a Maro anyday.

Colt45

My point was, id leave the luxury car alone, and buy a piece of junk with a v8 to go fast.

A junky camaro has the exact same everything powertrain wise as a corvette, the corvette is just overpriced and the same thing anyone 65-70 years old would choose.

I just put the corvette engine in a 2200lb rx7, forged and stroked it, and put a 106mm turbo on it. Problem solved.

desired_speeds

haha, that's colt, he's built so many cars already that everything is slow to him.

石春林

I guess you're right... the connection I have with a vette vs maro is more sentiment inherited down in my family. Honestly, I'll go for an M5 (with angelwings, love those brake lights!!! something about those radiating lines from the circular brakelight reminds me of a rising sun) after I'm done with my TL. I'll keep the M5 (only mods would be Hamann or Dinan) and give the TL as a project car for my kids eventually. Meanwhile, I'm building the TL to be a safe family car to raise those kids when I have them. Using the green approach though.

Colt45

haha you remember this.... Little more work being done...






yeaaa.. well get ready....




No glovebox for my registered concealed weapon, time to improvise.. short shifter!






what intercooler?




Swapped from ls6 to l6.0 cast iron lq4 with forged 8.8:1 compression 427 rotating assembly and big ported trick flow heads. GT45R with GT47 exhaust housing and exhaust turbine. Swapped from t56 6 spped to c02 assisted shift sequential 3 speed with transbrake and line lock.. Swapped from those ricer enkeis to weld magnum 15x12 and 15x3.5

Should do about 1200+whp/2266 lbs with driver and gas and 20 lb full nitrous bottle. STREET REGISTERED, STREET LEGAL. Hopefully enough to put it in the low 8s at over 170 next spring... Getting ready to tub it out if i sell the tl..

DAiNiUS

Not very concealed anymore ah?

Colt45

as long as its fixed in a rack or holster in plain sight with a snap or fastener, its legal in the car in ohio. out of the car, its gotta be concealed.


Now state to state varies, however im not going far on 28x12.8x15 et streets anyhow. Im still licensed in new hampshire, pennsylvania, ohio, and nevada just in case tho..haha

石春林

OMFG, I want that trunk-lip-spoiler-thingy... is it custom? Ideally, I want a trunk-lip and a roof-spoiler for mine. Do we have any roof spoilers for a 1st gen TL?

Go90go

It's the JDM wing for the UA2. There's one available here:

mf'er! I was trying to avoid the [H] emblem... >.<

I've even seen one for sale in Oakland with carbon fiber but opted to not get it due to the [H]... I guess I just need to bite the bullet.

I thought this one looked a bit longer than those I've seen on eBay in the past.. I guess I just never seen it at this angle.

desired_speeds

if you wait around long enough, you might find one without a H emblem which instead goes around the emblem on the trunklid, like the one undyroos has.

Colt45

i didnt like the h either, so i drafted this hondi-gram up and water jetted it out of some 16 gauge steel, then powder coated it gold... mmmm, devil worship for the soccer moms. haha
