Old Skool Let's make fun of Tom@FFS thread..
 




what a yo-yo.




1600-1700* intake temps with a turbocharger....ROFL. (3:30 to 3:50)

so much misinformation...granted the video was from 2007, before he read all of Joe's posts and actually learned.

OMFG, Am I wrong for having a headache after this?

That's one goofy video.

An engineer who likes lots of gauges even if the peak boost was way over the limit of his boost gauge. So when fuel evaporates, it magically disappears, right? It's like bewitched when she wiggles her nose, twinkletwinkle, poof gone. I wished he went into some science regarding the stock exhaust not being a restriction. He truly has rewritten the book on boost.

did you see his ait's? They were close to 150 and he wasn't driving hard.

yes I noticed they hit 200*F a few times at 40mph....

Braineack 04-02-2009 02:22 PM

i like the comments on the youtube video page :P

m2cupcar 04-02-2009 02:23 PM

but that's way lower than the 1600f I see :giggle:

levnubhin 04-02-2009 02:27 PM

I'd like to see one of those 30lb intercoolers.

Turbos get such a bad name because of this kind of misinformation. I couldn't listen to the whole thing. Did he start talking about how there is "no lag" with a supercharger vs a turbo?

ray_sir_6 04-02-2009 03:59 PM

THOUSANDS of DOLLARS to up the boost on a turbo? I am sure a MBC is less than that pulley he is selling.

damn...I am trying to get it down below my ambient +20 while under full boost. In my mind I thought it was still too warm.

gospeed81 04-02-2009 04:40 PM

IATs go down due to adding more fuel???//!!!???

EDIT: Nm, forget these have another injector upstream.

What a fucktard. I had to stop watching at that point.

"we can keep an eye on what the air/fuels are doing..."

He didn't even say ratio, and he's an engineer. :rolleyes:

I'm pretty sure the last time I took a reading off of my turbine it was less than he claims my intake temps are. :jerkit:

like 1500*?

How fucking awesome it would be if I rolled up next to them in the Machine during this video shoot. Hell, even my Daily would slay that dog.

The_Pipefather 04-02-2009 07:59 PM

Am I the only one who finds that supercharger noise annoying? Its like Rosie Perez breathing hard.

Saml01 04-02-2009 08:04 PM

Dumb Question.

Are the temperatures produced by the large eaton blowers that they slap on v8s less than whats produced by the mp62 he uses in the kit?

Braineack 04-02-2009 08:09 PM

probably not. superchargers are inefficient and produce more heat per psi than turbos in most cases. IIRC, the m45 would produce something like 18*F per psi.

hustler 04-02-2009 10:12 PM

oh my god what a fag. i like he shows-off the car in the same gears that I have severe traction difficulties with 2+" more tire, lol.

If he's making 225whp, he's only making 160wtq or so.

Am I the only one here who thinks Mazda did NOT spend thousands or even hundreds of hours tuning the stock miata? I'm a dumbass fucktard, and the first time I tuned my car I did it in 2-hours.
