Yeah, your right I didn't notice. Correction: That would make two Turbo yellow proteges at the track. (if has the turbo installed)

lol I was thinking the same thing dexter. I was going for honda insight or something though. Not that my car would be all that much faster. Oh well. In due time, I'll have a turbo.
Great times Hiboost, 83 mph in 9 seconds. That probably puts the 0-60 around low 6. That's pretty impressive. Expecially for a wagon

.Am I the only one not impressed here? Not to be a tool, but you should have pulled much better times with 12psi on that engine. Someone else with 12psi on a T3/T4 ran mid 13's.
I give you credit for giving it a shot at the track, but like you said, you need practice. Not to sound negative, I just don't see why everyone is so impressed with a 14.1 @ 12psi.

Omg.. with *some* respect... Koolindo you are being a tool. There are MANY things that can affect a 1/4 mile time. What is important is the POWER being made .. which is shown by the trap speed. 106mph is NICE. My friend's GS-R that puts down 271whp gets 104mph. The best he's run is 14.4 becaues he CANT DRIVE. He runs on 17" rims, no LSD, Nitto 450 crap tires, and bogs every launch getting 2.6 60's.
I am pretty impressed with the kit... but I'd like to see what it'll run at 7 or 8 psi.

Anything net new for us none boosted / rookie members are impressed with just about anything!! LOL
Impressed with a vendor that has listened to everyone and went to the track and did their best to provide more information.
Impressed with a person that would admit their short comings in their driving abilities while on the track.
Impressed with a person that is willing to go back for more testing and trials to provide even more information.
Impressed with a vendor that continues to persevere despite some negitivitiy in the atmosphere.

Thanks.
Yeah, 105/106 is a nice trap speed. Not disagreeing there. But if you want to be impressed with power, look at the DYNO that he has already shown us. That impressed me more.
Wow. You just went off on me for saying that I wasn't impressed with his 14.1. I said nothing about the POWER, the KIT, or anything. I said I wasn't impressed with a 14.1. ANd I shouldn't be. For the amount of power the car has, it's not a good time.

Listened to everyone how?? HiBoost hasn't changed a single thing by listening to people...
Or do you mean listening to people say "go to the track"? If so, I already gave him credit for that in my post above.
Sure, it's either he admits HIS shortcomings or he admits the shortcomings of the kit he's trying to sell. I'm not trying to imply that the kit has shortcomings, but look at what you're saying logically here...
But yes, I do believe the driver has the shortcomings.
I'll give him credit for it, but i'm not super impressed by him going to the track to run 1/4 miles...he's trying to SELL A KIT, so he wants to show what it can do...it's in his best interest to do so...
I'll give you that one.

Kooldino,
-i think your missing the bigger picture. How many P5's do you know that have even broken into the 14.999 territory? Maybe 2 at the most?
This person has done that and then some.
-How many P5's are trapping higher then 100mph?
Again, hes doen that AND then alot more.
-Hes on 91 octane gas as well. Considering the east coast has 93 octane, 94 octane (Sunoco) , as well as race fuel at the tracks, i would say 106mph on PUMP gas, thats only 91 OCTANE, says ALOT about the amount of power and the potential of the kit as well.
Im sorry the other members of this board are abale to recognize these things, and you simply cannot.
HIBOOST - GREAT JOB!

Koolindo,
I wasn't trying to make you look bad in anyway. I'm just pointing out that there are MANY things that affect the 1/4 mile time and that their reputation *as a company* should not be based on whatever 1/4 mile they got. Ya know?
Cuz I can care less about the company's driving skills... I do care about the fact they made a kit that can run 12psi on pump gas (with a little octane booster) and can pull that 106 trap. Anyone else should be able to get low 13's with proper suspension, tires, etc. and specially with a decent (2.2 - 2.3) 60' times.
I think HiBoost sounds very promising. The only things I don't like about the kit are:
1.) They don't specify the exact trim of the IHI turbo.
2.) The kit is only made with an internal gate in mind.
3.) The downpipe/elbo thing that bolts to the turbo hot side doesn't look very effecient.. maybe some porting is in need.
Other than that, I think the kit is great because it comes with a REAL fuel solution. With the F10, you should be able to add larger injectors and tune it too!

More than that. Hell, there's at least 2 P5's that run 13's. And they're not owned by guys who put out turbo kits. Again, I'm not saying I'm not impressed w/ what he has done, I'm just not impressed with him only getting a 14.1 out of it. He'll go back to the track, he'll do better, and he'll get into the 13's. And then I'll be impressed. But as of right now it looks like he has a fast car, but he hasn't learned how to drive it well yet.
Again, there are a few in the 13's. I'm sure they're at 100+.
Well, he DID add octane booster, so he's above 91 octane...but whatever the case, yes, I already stated in ABOVE posts that I am impressed with the POWER the kit generates, but I am NOT impressed with the 14.1. Because a 14.1 does not accurately reflect the amount of power the kit makes. Geez, people...stop beating me up over the fact that Juan hasn't mastered driving his car yet.

Did i even IMPLY that I'm basing my opinion of HiBoost on his 1/4 mile time? No. I just said that his time wasn't that impressive. I did not say anything about the kit, etc. I believe the unimpressive (to ME) 14.1 was due to DRIVER, not the car or the kit or anything else. I'm sure Juan would AGREE with me here.
I can understand that. But i care MORE about the dyno, which like i said, has been out for a month or so now. If you want to be impressed, look at the dyno. If you want to be disappointed, look at his ETA.
Don't push it. I'd say mid 13's. But we'll see. My estimates have been closer to the truth thus far.
I thought they listed it on some post awhile ago...
Nothing wrong w/ internal..it works.
I agree w/ adding larger injectors to the F10, but I think everyone here knows where I stand with the F10+stock injectors/fuel pressure/etc @ 8psi...and NOTICE that the people who are most WELL RESPECTED on this board have not argued with my opinion...only the n00bs have. That should tell you something.

from the hiboost website. so far the 14.1 isn't all that impressive to me. At 12psi I would hope to see mid to high 13's if not better.
The trap speed looks good, and from his saying that he spun alot, so the high speed shows that there is some power there. now get some grip, and run again. Hit 13's and i'll be impressed.
lol.. so you're implying I'm a noob Koolindo?
How so... because I've been around this type of thing for a while now (not saying I'm an expert by any means) , but I too have learned quite a few things.
1.) 103Mph traps are good for mid 13's on drag radials... so imagine 106mph traps. (this also depends heavily on gear ratios)
2.) Internal gates DO WORK! But what about the people that have a bigger picture in mind and want to later on max out the turbo? The small internal gate will not work that well at higher boost pressures.
3.) Yes I've seen the dynos... and I AM impressed with it. But I am even more impressed with the trap at that hp level.
4.) We've already discussed the fuel pressure/stock injectors thing... and you did miss out on the point that their car has a FPR with a 1:1 ratio which will add 8psi of FP at 8lbs of boost... that can definitely make the stock injectors support 214whp.

Generally, internal gates will allow boost creep at about 18psi (crappy deltagates will creep sooner). FS engines require internal upgrades to run 18psi. So, this kit is good for 99% of protege owners that want boost. The turbo may not even be effecient at 18psi (i don't know for sure).
Overall, external gates are better and allow better boost response.
