FWIW, he also claimed 153hp / 98tq at 6200RPM. He couldn't explain that the math didn't add up. 98rwtq = 115rwhp, but we have lots of videos of it idling. |
He's so damn hard headed he had no clue. The idea is cool he's just too cheap and lazy to do it right. Hard way to learn simple basic of turboing a car.
|
there's being cheap as hell like me, and then there's being a complete idiot.
|
The amount of money he spent making "the worlds' most half ass turbo kit",he could have purchased a good quality used kit and be boosting safely.
Damn ricers. |
Yeah there's always that, he is pretty damn stupid.

it was a retarded idea from the start, but he was gonna show all the doubters...
actually I'm annoyed he blew it up. i wanted him to get it running well and then dyno it and get..... 150whp and 98wtq. |

His charge piping was made of material similar to dryer duct, WTF.
|
he said it was dynoed....but everyone asked for proof and he posted videos of it idling.

BTW I pretty sure the dryer duct was used for the exhaust side of the turbo. |
you guys are very mean.

what did i miss?

Wow...hilarious.
I've actually talked to a guy who was interested in rear mount..done correctly. Touching on issues like possibly having a remote oil reservoir just for the turbo (maybe a cooler on it??) and such. Much more intelligent approach. Hell I'm cheap as a MoFo and I still see it as doing it the right way. I think thus far I've spent about....900 dollars odds and ends and I'm only finishing my turbo rebuild and getting my MS installed away from boost. I can get a exact amount for anyone who's curious to see where the money went. |
oh was that the guy posting on CR.net
|
that was the guy.
he's giving rear mounted turbos a bad name. |
did they need to be given a bad name? when you have a car with all the space you could possibly need for a turbo in the engine bay, why the hell would you do a remote mount?
the only reason for them is on a packed v8 engine bay, and even then they're pretty gay. put them in the front bumper or something. |
hahah...This why I keep all my Asshat ideas and moves to myself....granted I do some intense research before my asshatting begins....oh well. Hopfully he learned something and amused some people at the same time :)

Guys! Do you think my wife's 24 valve taurus can run a remote mount t-76 @ 35 psi on the stock injectors and timing? Will I have to run premium?
Oh... does anyone know what the pressure rating on that light weight racing dryer duct stuff is? Thanks :m-freak::pitlab: |
