i recently bought my lanos 2002 and it is a 5 sp with 75000miles runs great but very disappointed i owned a 2003 acura rsx which naturally aspirated recently ran a 13.2 i spent alot of money on the car and it got stolen i had basic insurance and they barly paid for n e thing now i have this daewoo nd it is rediculously slow need performance what is the best time a lanos has run in a quarter mile

stock i think like 16 something. but if you get like a turbo from 360dynamics and push it to like 9-10 psi just for the track i'm sure you can push it to like low 15's or so.

Im sure on 9-10psi you can do much better.

I think the lanos has alotta potential as a drag car. Dont know much about the car but it has a good pwoer to weight ratio.

i was guessing on the lowest possible performance. didn't want to get his hopes up and then i end up wrong.

I know that a few guys that ran 4psi on their Lanos' with some other minor mods (like exhaust etc), ran low 15's 1/4 mile.

4psi? I didnt even know you could run that low and make any power

1psi over barometric pressure would be a gain

I thought the barometric pressure was like 4psi or around there.

Still seems hardly worth a turbo

when you assume pressure though, atmospheric is considered 0

but yeah... not worth it, 4psi... maybe

atmospheric pressure is 14.7 or something like that.. most boost is measured in bars.. bar 1 is 14 psi over and so on..
