Horrible Takeoff

87TT · 09-14-2009, 08:35 AM

So I have an 87 twin turbo which pulls hard when I get it into 3rd gear but my first makes it seem like a little bitch
I can not even get a little squeal out of my tires no matter how hard I try
Can anyone tell me why I'm having this problem or what I could do to change this? Please help!
I want to burn out. Lol

Maybe you should upgrade your motor. A 2.0L 1g-gte will not have a lot of torque and only makes 190 or so hp.

It's not just hp. It's also a question of low-end torque, your differential ratio, your fuel system, your tires, your suspension... a small host of things.

As an aside, I personally see little excitement in demonstrating a lack of traction by your car and trashing tires to no gain.

wow I'm looking back on these old posts and I was so stupid. lol
I do have the 1ggte and it totally is because I have no low end torque
I don't really get power until my turbo spools
I'm planning on doing a swap
