I'm not usually much of a bench racer...but this seemed interesting-my buddy just bought a new scion fr-so (not supercharged). Online specs say it's about a 14.9 second car...also it says the stock 93 240sx is a 16.1 second car. I just rebuilt my motor and haven't installed it yet.

My mods:
- Sohc pistons for a little higher compression
- 98 model head with 3 angle valve job
- Port matched intake with butterflies removed
- msd blaster 2 coil
- walbro 255 lph fuel pump
- 4-2-1 header with 3 inch exhaust
- egr block-off plate
- electric fans
- no a/c
- no p/s
- removed charcoal canister
- adjustable fuel pressure regulator (can someone tell me the ideal setting for it? It was on the car when I bought it)
- stage 3 6-puck clutch
- 1.2" drop springs
- kosei r-seneka wheels with 215s out back
- poly mounts

Do you guys think that this will get me into maybe the mid 14s? I know gains are a lot harder to get on a N/A motor. Thanks for any input!

Finding the answer to this question is your job, at a 1/4 mile race track. lol

My car is not yet together or we would have already raced and this thread would have never been made. Thanks though.

It's going to be a mighty boring race either way.

Keep it on the strip please.

A lot of it has to do with your driving skills,suspension setup and most importantly what tires you have.but with yours parts list I don't see a massive whp gains to make a massive difference in your 1/4mile to a stock ka24de.

Adj fuel pressure reg and high flow fuel pump with stock injectors?

Now that you're a bench racer you can make better guesstimates with this

will my car run 14 seconds? Doesn't matter. Both cars are slow as hell. Trying to extracting real power from an N/A KA is pretty high on the list of collossal wastes of time.

I say no, you won't be able to win the FRS unless you totally strip out your car. You may stand a chance! Then again paper is one thing and actually racing is a whole other thing. Let the driving do the talking.

"not supercharged" lol. You'd probably run 17's
