215/50r17 so stoked how she looks with the rims on there, the offset is just perfect. any wider and it would rub for sure. If/when i lower it it will probably rub in fact. I have been thinking about adjustable suspension for this puppy. Then i could run i slammed for summer and normal height for winter. Would be okay. But i dont want a harsh suspension. And i would have to think all the aftermarket springs would be stiffer than stock.



I ordered up a 16g from FP yesterday. For 520 bucks new no point messing around with junky tired old 14bs.

yeah fronts easy to put in adjustible suspension.


Good luck with the rear!!

On drag radials.auto trans.launching @ 5 psi and no traction thru 2nd.

Ran a 14.59 at 94 mph. 1.9x 60 around 15 psi out of the laggiest 14b ive ever seen. I would bet a good condition 14b would've made a high 13 easy, just the missed time between shifts, I suspect i lost 2 tenths at least every gearshift just to lag. I'm not disappointed at all to have the slowest passes i've ever made at the strip. I cant wait to get the 16g on this thing and take it back out there.

Lag on a 14b? Boost leak test?

or the diaphram is jammed open or the arm is bent a bit and the flapper is not closing all the way...seen that b4

but yes, could be a bad boost leak too.

Good job on getting her to the track!! Decent launch!! now just have to get a bit better top end. Was she getting any knock? did u datalog it?

NICE! That time and trap is what my 2,500lb sedan mustered with a Sleeper 16g at 9lbs on a 4g61. I am impressed that 3,100lb van got it done so well.

I 100 percent guarantee the wastegate is not sealing. I tested for leaks just the other day, its tight as a drum. I have two 14bs that are both like that, the port for the wastegate is so ccracked and fruit and banana it cant seal anymore. I also have a 14b that boosted ok but its so cracked i dont want to go to the trouble of installing it. I have a really minty one on my sedan and it has no lag whatsoever. This 14b has three times the lag of my 20g, seriously.

Battery went dead on my palmpilot like a year ago and mmcd got wiped havent been able to get the mmcd back on there with the computers i have. Not sure whats wrong but it wont hotsync. so no it hasnt been logged. I am sure there was knock. I am running br7es plugs 94 octane stock timing.

yeah getting rid of knock.. and getting your timing advance back will really help out your top end.

I have a story to tell with a very funny outcome (not for me)
I was right about the the old 14b, its wastegate area was so cracked it was open all the time.
Got my new 16g installed, took it out for a rip. Didnt sound right. Then it locked up. First thing i did was take off the intake pipe. Carnage. Compressor wheel is destroyed. 600 bucks down the tubes. Time to order up another one. I should have checked the intake pipe before i reinstalled it. The rubber spacer from the turbo was in there when i put it back on. The turbo sucked it in, and boom. Dunzo.

I will email fp for a rebuild price, but im sure it will be cheaper to buy a new one.

The same rubber spacer was sucked into the inlet of one of my 14bs but I got lucky, no damage to the turbo, just terrible performance.

i have seen many 14's die from that rubber spacer ring.. over time it degrades and starts falling apart... under power when the turbo is spoolin and a little piece of rubber comes flying into the compresser blades... NOT GOOD RESULT lol.

OUCH! that friggen blows man..

Well im sure glad micah and dan did not listen to me. I told them the stock tach doesnt work. They said it did and i have never been happy with the dsm tach in the cluster, just cause it doesnt look quite right. Thanks to them i dug through my hoarding and found my stock van tach, hotwired it up so i would be able to watch that and the dsm tach at the same time. Nothing happened this time. Then i turned the little knob on the circuit board (potentiometer i think its called). The tach works great now. I dont know why i didnt mess with the knob before. oops.

Now if only i could figure out my cold start issue i could say my van was dialed.

so you used the mitsubishi j602 tacho interface to get it to work?
