New guy, 92 Plymouth Laser RS AWD

[talontsi92]

Hi guys, my name is Jeff and I am from down around the Waynesburg area. I have a 92 Plymouth Laser RS AWD, that is lightly modded. Thus far I have installed:

3 inch turbo back exhaust
2.5 inch tubular o2 sensor housing with external wastegate dump
ACT 2900 LB pressure plate/carbon kevlar street disk
ACT Streetlight flywheel
Shepherd Racing stg 1 transmission (evo shift forks/rails double synchro 1-4)
Manual boost controller (set at 21psi)
Boost/oil pressure/wideband o2 gauges
Apex'i SAFC
Full Throttle Motorsports MAF-Translator with 3.5 inch GM MAF
Punishment Racing aluminum 2" core radiator
Ported turbine housing
Custom FMIC setup,
"crushed" 1g BOV
Lancer Evo 9 560cc fuel injectors
Walboro 190LPH fuel pump, rewired
Removed balance shafts
Stock motor rebuild
Freshened up head
A few other little odds and end and minor weight reduction

This year i hope to add a set of cams (264*i/272*e) and a better flowing exhaust manifold from Forced Performance, after that I will be looking to upgrade the turbo to a larger unit, but until I reach the maximum potential of the 14b compressor I am going to stick with it I think, or I will upgrade whenever it decides to blow up :), which ever happens first.

Here are a few pictures of the 250~275AWHP (estimated) beast.

Best time thus far is a completely botched 14.27@101.8mph. Garbage launch, 1.97 60' and missed 2nd gear by a country mile. The new trans should help that greatly :)

I notice that most of the guys in here drive muscle cars, don't worry, I definitely like anything with a decent amount of power, Ford, Chevy, Mopar, Import, whatever, its all good. I just got into these things a long time ago and have been tinkering with them ever since.

I look forward to contributing to the forum whenever I can.

Welcome man. You have a nice looking tuner actually. The outside looks pretty sleepish for the most part and I like that in a sport compact. ;)

Jared Early's Starion is one sick machine, It must be really light to be putting down those times. I believe he ran an 8.95 to win the q16 last year. I go to the Buschur DSM/Evo shootout every year, although this will be the first time i have had the chance to take my own car

That's one of the biggest reasons I like the DSM community, the majority strongly dislike the whole bodykit and big wing stuff. The old mantra of the DSM guys was the same as the Buick G-body guys from the late 80s-90s "Go fast with class". I like that. I would rather see a car that runs a 10.0 that has what appears to be an interior in it than a car that runs 9.5 and is a tin can.

How much boost?

[talontsi92]

21psi on the stock 14b with a ported exhaust housing.

Do you have an oil catchcan? If not that is most likely the reason its shooting out of the rear main.

[talontsi92]

well, it comes out of the rear main when the Engine is in vacuum, so I doubt that is the issue, but I do have the breather and pcv still operating properly.
