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: |
My favorite post ever was this kid on the rx7club forums. said he wanted to pull the turbo off of his T2 cause the 12lbs of boost he was running made the car heavier (yes as in curb weight due to incrase turbo pressure...)and loosing weight was more importantent hahaha
