Ben I can't believe you haven't jumped in here

I saw Jimmys car in person. It is a stripped down, nothing in it, 2000lb car. It SOUNDS really sweet, but that is the end of it. You will have the IRTB fanbois, like panda trueno who, based on his signature has everything from fuji, jumping up and down trying to convince that IRTB's are the shizznet. For throttle response they are great, for power, whatever.
|
i wanna build a head on a stock 1.6L and rev it to 9000RPM and show everyone it doesn't take much. just need 100rwtq.
|
I know the shop in question... lets just say I take anything from there with a Syberian sized grain of salt.

What a noob. No fucking shit buddy. Why do you think turbo feels better at altitude compared to naturally aspirated? DURRRRR.... Uhhhh thinner air.. less oxygen content... MMEEEEOOOOOOOOOO.
originally posted on M.net by Will Work For Speed I've always seen FI cars take better to hotter or high altitude climates. The N/A car is totally subjected to what the pressure of the atmosphere is at the time, so at a hot or high altitude climate, a N/A engine is gasping for air. A FI car is compressing the air it takes in, so the intake is not getting as much as air in a hot or high altitude climate, but it still getting way more air than a N/A car. I saw this with my N/A aspirated vette when I went to up play around with my buds up in Reno. My car felt totally different, seemed like I went from 435 hp to 350. My 1/4 time was the worst I had ever seen while my buds Evo was slightly slower, but not too much. |
god damn I fucking hate these ------s!!!
he must be running pc pro with the itb's. |
:cjerk:

we're going to get banned over there.

Because the 1.8s run TWO PCPros. That's like an intercooled intercooler, right? (Actual HP X Bullshit Factor)^#PC-Pro's |

Thank God! I was thinking that there was a chance that someone out there needs to be wearing a helmet outside of the motorsport experience.

Well fuck me. Gord and Ben actually agreeing on something. Where's that worm hole? I want to go back to my regular universe!
|
I actually like Gord today :rofl:
|
haha you can tell it's hustler from all the "what should I do? :robert:" threads he started.
so far the FM comment is still intact so far Gord is on the side of the "gimme proof" side. good lord. |
Gord believes in engine management and charge cooling. :bigtu:
One down.... I thought for sure there was going to be some editing and locking going on. Speaking of helmets, remember when Black Jesus told that guy he needed to wear one :rofl: I wonder if it will show up in a search |
Ben, you've been the best entertainment all day. I WISH FFS would open that thread at m.net and start posting. 8 PC-PRO's... Beer Cooler... Mars...
Good read for sure. |
oh god, the "running the car on earth / super cooled air" has me in tears.

That personally was my favorite line. |
A++++++ thread. would read again.

I managed to invoke "pc-pro" here too:
http://forum.miata.net/vb/showthread...24#post2705124 At this point, invoking pc-pro on m.net is pretty much my favorite passtime...but you have to be sublime to it doesn't get pruned. I highly recommend it. |

yeah that was it :rofl:

notice the OP? :Rofl:
|
jeezus,
I bet that was about push starting a miata w/ hotwired ignition |
Lol Ben's post about storing beer under the hood had me laughing out loud at work.
|
now these fags are talking about some fucking tube-framed GT3 circuit miata that runs on plutonium with cantilever suspension.
I mean, hell, NHRA pro-stock 50" v8's make 1200hp naturally aspirated, there is no reason your daily driven cadavalier won't cut 1.0 60' times to and from work. |
i enjoy picking up men in my miata.

poz or neg? |
so now there's some ------ in an ITB automatic complaining to the mods that the turbo people are mean to the naturally aspirated crew.

ive always enjoyed the loss of low end torque on automatics, combined with the loss of low end torque with itrbs. mmmmm.

im pretty sure the larger inlets lower low-end torque, not smart to do on an automatic. but hey, they are magical and increase HP substantial, best hp/$$ hands down.
|
lol, the guy spent $12,000 on a motor that yeilded lets say 40lb/ft over stock. Wow. How many people here spent $5000 and yeilded 150lb/ft. Fucking idiots.

I need cams and a billet oil gear.

don't forget that you also need a bigger oil pump because for some reason oil pumps are HP sensitive, not rpm. :vash:

whoa, there's a blue miata/white hardtop racecar with "fuji racing" all over it, and ITB's. I wonder if this is the 175whp daily driver they speak of.
lol, speak of the devil. on a side note, there are like 30 turbo miatas out here too. I feel like a total bitch. |
So the 175whp car is gutted big time, like...less shit in the car and under weight in terms of spec miata. The guy was only cutting 1:32's at best, spec cars are running 1:31's. Too many variables to consider, but I wasn't all that impressed. Cool guy though. I still severly doubt 175whp on a 9.0:1 NA1.8 bottom end with a 99 head.

and you didnt stir up shit in person?!

BTW, the car is nowhere remotely close to street able. It takes an act of congress to move the car from a stop, and pukes and farts below 4k rpm. Its like drag-race rotary motors...every one I've ever seen has "barely" run. He was a super nice guy, and still had a lot to do on the car, but he needs to find another dyno shop if he plans on selling any parts. It ran with the 200hp supercharged cars with full interior, and had mph speeds consistent with mp45 cars. It sounds to me like the guy works very hard, and engineers many of his own parts which is good, but I hope he doesn't fuck up his company's future with a shitty dyno shop that hosed him...if that's how the story actually reads. |
Jimmy's an idiot. Go over to itbforum.com and ask those guys. Even other ITB people can't stand him...

his 175whp gutted car was turning lap times 2 seconds faster than 120whp full-interior cars.
|
I dont care what times he got, i dont care what he got in the 1/8 1/4 1/2 1/1....if he doesnt put that thing back on a dyno and upload the actual results of that session (not something the session beforehand) I'm not going to believe a word he says...about anything.
