over the summer i ran an 13.8 with my k8 turbo i spent around 1300 on the setup this was a practice round for the kl turbo setup im working on now

my setup was a stock 130,000 mile k8
stock clutch
t3/t4 hybrid turbo 57 trim
pvc intercooler piping lmao :)
220cc injector
walbro pump
pipes off ebay
don't laugh remember this was a practice so i went is cheap as possible
all in all i was very impressed with the time

No time slip for proof (i have no reason to lie so ull just have to trust me

ya man for sure... hopefully ill have my mx done.. i have no time with school two sports and work.

Big plans this year ... i got new paint same color really,, but pearl in blue green and silver and a big surprise aqua glow in the dark sorta ricey but dam its gonna turn heads and cop lights prolly :|

Fresh Kl engine cleaned up amazing,, Engine and striped compartment

I also got a new turbo and megasquirt all to do in the 5 months its going to be a stretch

I might make it too dropfest for the show.. but no drags yet
i should be around wir alot with the mx late summer... my friend built a mean 2g talon that should hits 10's

from what I understand, it is already blown up. But he has a KL in the works though I think...

I was playing with my G-tech today, and it says I have 180 BHP, and about 150-155 WHP.

which should be good for a 14.99 pass or so with my slicks easy.

And that's on only 7 psi. I will try a 12psi run later on this week if the weather holds.

cheers

ya, I have tested mine at the track with my nova, and it was always within .1 of a second and 1 or 2 mph.

close enough I think :)

i think that for the sake of the good old N/A K8 gang, you should change the topic name for :
" anyone with a turbo k8 faster than a 13.8 ? "

:D

Ya the k8 turbo was just for turbo practice i learned alot about turbo setup's and had a great time driving it....... Yes right now im piecing together a new setup..... I just got all the new parts together and started the biuld... you could say the goal is having a perfectly tuned and running mx in the 12's..
