wow. just... wow.
I thought I failed my first DIY... but damn. YouTube - Turbo NOS Geo Metro with an attitude |
I got you penguin.
|
thanks chief, I fail at forums mostly.
|
The guy works at advance..... theres usually one or two good nuts in a basket full of dumb asses at those places.
|
I kept looking at the picture and I was like that's a wastegate dumbass, but then I was like miata owners are not that dumb (I take that back). After I saw it then I LOL'd, but it's not as bas as I thought. I was expecting a BOV in a intake pipe or an NA car.
|
dammit...save picture and attach to the post, I can't see it!
|
lol at: upper rad hose, wg vta (literally), and no fucking air filter on the turbo inlet. What is the inlet jammed against, clutch or speedo cable or something?
Anyone have a pic of a well executed one of these things? |

why is that location so awful? it's not like he put it on the DP itself..
|
I wish we had cast turbo manifolds that looked like that.

I like the valve cover better. It's better to have a positive pressure oil system. Makes those turbo seals last longer.
I would assume this is mid build, but it doesn't change the fact that he fails.

And they're proven to be very reliable. Supply and demand I suppose :/ |

can you explain why that position is "the worst placement ever."
can you explain how it's worse than being bolted to say: the DP? |

can you explain how it's worse than being bolted to say: the DP? The issue being that its 2 inches from the ground and has likely sucked up all sorts of random things, as BOVs will occasionally draw air in. That combined with the collapsed upper radiator hose, the opened wastegate vent, and the POS downpipe just make it more hilarious. also, he used to have a del sol with an integra front end on it :laugh: |
I think its lame but suppose the guy just wants people to hear it better.
|
I didn't even notice it was one of Honda's SOHC monsters. I guess the D15. What's sad is that 1.5L makes as much power as BP's in the NA's. That's Honda for you.

At least cylinder number 4 won't be overboosting.
