Boosted Teg vs SS/SC (USMC!)

*** Cliff Notes, You know where they are! ***

A new guy joined our local boards. He recently boosted & tuned (Dyno'd at 260whp!) a 1994 Acura Integra LS and was looking for his first race.

<--- First to Respond to any race call-out!

So we try to find a date to race it on... but can't ever agree on one. Well, a lot of us at the local Hobby Lobby parking lot. Usually every night... 20 people on average. Well, last Tuesday I get off work, and head on over to the lot. Low and behold... who is already there? The Boosted Teg! Now the 260whp was a little bit intimidating... so I wan't sure how I would fare in this race... but the results speak for themselves. He wanted to go from a 35 roll (AMAZING!), so that's what we agreed on and head out to do.

So first race... I get to 35 and he pulls up beside me. I honk... 3 times and we're off! I pull an instant half car... and pull just inches from there. Then, at 5800 rpm - second gear, WOT... my car backfires! Big BANG! But it keeps accelerating. At 120 I am ahead by 1 to 1.5 cars.

We didn't get the first race on film due to technical difficulties.

Second Race... Same conditions. 35 roll... 3 honks... and we're off. I pull inches at a time, putting him back to my rear bumper at the end of second, and 2 cars back by the end of 3rd. Here is the video, you can actually here me shout for joy after the race was over I thought I was gonna lose since he had a lighter car and more whp! Exciting times!

BOOSTED TEG

*** Cliff Notes ***

I raced a Boosted teg 2times... won by 2 cars both times.

True... He has no V-Tec... his motor is V-Tec-less!

What's really funny... is he thinks that I am in the 270-280whp range right now. Saturday we are going to get dyno'd together ($35 - 3 pulls - Columbus Ohio - PM me for details)... he's gonna be in for a surprise when I only dyno at like 245-250whp!

Nice kill!!

The guy in the Teg needs to find where his sweet spot for power is on that turbo setup. On my SAAB if I an rolling 45-50mph and drop it I am in full boost with no lag but hit me (or any saab up) at 20-40 and we fall flat on our faces usually.

He said 35 is his sweet spot... that he is at like 3500rpm, and that is a good spot for him. i dunno... that's what he says.

Yeah as he runs it more and more he will find that he will do better a little higher up in the range or so.
