Has anyone ran 14's n/a yet???

ill have a video of it up the day the tracks open back up here lol i have some little things planned here and there till then including a weight reduction but leaving her looking stock so that should help a bit

I keep prodding for this same answer, but no one with NA mods ever wants to run.
For some odd reason, they worship a video of a stock tc vs turbo tc, yet no one wants to go to a f'ing track.
Stock, i ran 15.8 @ 87 with 2.37 60'. 20whp from mods (which is do-able) is 15% more power, and should result in 14's.

I ran a 15.7 first time at the track with only the Injen CAI.....now i have the draxas full exhaust and hoping to get to the track soon...i figure with a header and s-pipe it is very doable!!! but they will be very high 14's

should take mutch im currently in the designe proccess for my intake manifold and im going to fab a 4-2-1 header this winter also then a zpi under drive pully and posobly a ported t/b and hello 1/4's and that shouldnt cost me more then 600-800 in parts and i do all the work my self so i think i can calculate all the beer i will be drinking in there also and still cost the same lol

I have to agree on you that alot of people in this forum don't have a bunch of track experience. I however, do. Lauunching a FWD on lower profile street tires is a pain, I think it would take a ~2.0 60' and about ~175whp for the tC to hit high 14s.

it will take some skill for sure to get 14's out of a n/a tc with less then 1k in it but im going to do it next spring (i hope lol)

well the general rule of thumb is 1/10th off the 60' will get you 2/10ths in the 1/4, so if you got a 2.0 that would be a 15.0xx and being that you don't have 175whp I think it could be done.

yeah the only thing that sucks about the tc is you can launch awsome after you get used to it (asuming you do get used to the retarted gearing lol) but once you get up to 3rd geart it seems like its winded lol the power just sucks perfect time to spray it if you want nitrous but na i think the only thing i can do is try and make a better intake manifold (i have been studdying harmonic oscillation so i can try and tune it and get more top end power)

You guys crack me up.
i/h/e will not get you in the low-mid 14s, with the MMW it might get you 14.9 at best. You say traction is your biggest problem, you solve that you are still towing a 3,000lbs car with driver. 160whp isn't going to cut it.
However, you would be able to pull 14s with ZPI head, pistons, mmw header, intake, exhaust and short shifter. THat should give you enough for mid 14s if not better. Adding a light weight crank pulley too.
i/h/e though, . With MMW race header, possible but not likely. A stock tC with an average driver is a very high 15-16 sec car. A great driver can pull 15.7 maybe 15.6. People that claim 15.4-15.5 1/4 stock, show me a video and i'll believe it. Otherwise, no.

get the phantom grip conversion then get some celica GT-S 16" wheels and drag radials for the front, possibly a good clutch, you might be able to get it, there are STOCK GT-S running low 14's with not a whole lot more HP, alot less torque and they dont weight THAT much less.

hahaha in chicago gts rims are as rare as a stock civic lol i have been looking for like 6 months now and cant find one set i even offered my pc and 400 bucks at one point and got no bites all together that was like 700-800 bucks and no one bit lol but i realy want some of thoughs rims.
a lsd is good but i want to do it all bolt ons once im in 14's and i can say i did it all bolt ons then ill bust open the tranny and slap in a lsd. for now it will be all parts fabbed by me so i can gain some credibility localy
