I personnally dont think that equal length headers in a turbo app is that big of a deal. In fact I dont really see many turbo headers that are equal length. The main reason being that the exhaust system before the turbo is under a lot of pressure. Especially during spool up time before that turbo gets going. I've heard (on SyTy's) that the pressure in the exhaust can be as much as 40psi. To me under that much pressure the pulses really wouldnt matter anymore. Id think that headers would hurt performance because they move too much air and therefore kill you spool up time. Im not an expert or anything but thats just the way I think of it. I very well could be wrong.

Nothing wrong with some healthly competition at all. Nothing motivates people like a god race.  :D  I just didn't want anyone to think I was here to piss anyone off or say that my stuff was better than anyone elses.

The white ty isn't mine. It belongs to John Gerber. I believe right now its either the 2nd or 3rd fastest AWD Typhoon in the country. Very nice truck.

Yeah thats a Malboro Sy next to it. Those pics where taken at the 2003 Great Lakes Gathering of Sy/Ty's. I believe the town it was held in was Lemont. Not too sure.

Here's a few pics of the Ty for those who want to see.

The day I bought it.


How it looks now.


At the track.

Lots of chrome under the hood eh? I think I might know who it is. Did it look like this?




Yeah I'm from DeKalb. When summer time comes and the Ty comes back out we'll have to meet up.

What color was that Typhoon and what kind of rims did it have?

god910, Sorry to hear about your sister. I know how it is I lost my best friend about 3 months ago. Hope your doing well.

Quote from: god910You know, it's a little harder to make 1 wheel and 3.1 liters go 12's but w/ a *few* extra tires, and 1.2L worth of displacement, I think we should get a couple power adders on ya.  :lol: Hell, if that's how it's gonna be, I just drop my 3800S2T in there.   :wink:

I know that is far harder to make a TGP's fast. Eventhough Sy/Ty's have a small aftermarket TGP have none by comparison. Anyone who can get a TGP into the 12's deserves tons of respect. Im getting the feeling this thread has started to take a turn and is turning into some kind of a compitition and thats not what I wanted happen. I was trying to give some suggestions from stuff that I've learned from the Sy/Ty world. I'm not trying to give you guys crap or something saying my stuff is better. Hell the reason Im on here is because Im going to buy a TGP for a daily driver in the next year.

Mitsubishi TD06-17C

Quote from: m6ambaare we allowed to do things like unhook exhaust at down pipe to eliminate backpressure? and take out the spare?

Sure why not. As long as I get to bolt on a bigger turbo like your doing. Maybe spray some alky too. You know just to keep things fair.  :D

This year its gone 12.6@ 107 with an external wastegate, Air to Air Intercooler, Open downpipe and a chip running 18-19psi.

Something else you guys might want to think about is Alcohol Injection. It most likely allow a lot of you guys to run more boost than you thought was possible with out race gas and a better turbo. GN guys have been using it for years and its a pretty proven for reducing intake temps and letting you high boost without race gas. SMC makes a really good kit that alot of Gn and Sy/Ty guys have used.

I hope to see some 12 second times slip from you guys this spring.

Get a bigger turbo.

Yeah Im curious what the fastest TGP is too. Also why not just run more boost instead dealing with adding another power adder and using NO2.

The 3.4's may go a second faster but thats on an N/A car, not a turbo. It makes a big difference. No I don't own a TGP but I have seen and driven one. Plus I think having a Typhoon and having experience with a lot of Turbo Gm cars gives me a little credit. Oh well thats beside the point. One thing I will agree on though is the fun factor of the car goes way up being that you get to shift your own gears.

I'm not sure exactly how much faster you'd go with a manual. It does soak up less power but it can't build boost at the line. Plus you loose boost inbetween shifts and you have to wait for it to spool again. A blow off valve can help this but its not a complete cure. An automatic also never misses a shift. If you where building an autocross car a manual would be a good chocie but on the drag strip you cant beat an auto.

Got any pictures?
