me:how do u know? do u have boost gauge?
dumbfuck kid: no...but its a different type of supercharger! instead of the pistons sucking in the air, the supercharger pushes air in!

...isnt that what a supercharger is supposed to do? jeezus ppl around my town r such fucktards its not funny.
Hell i had to stop at 16psi on the trailer park 283 because the stock fuel pump was at its limits.They make carbs to handle 20 psi but costs like 800 bucks for a professionally built but so far i think i can handle it.

i havent gotten the "stupid person" yet i get people that ask me how a turbo works. then they usually follow it up by how a supercharger works. i try to stay way from stupid people.

also, my car cant hydrolock!!!!! HAIL THE POWER!!!
not to thread jack or anything.... oh well ---- it.

kain.. im assuming that your refering to a rotary..

why cant the lock up? just curious? beacause they dont use valves?
im assuming. i dont know. i was driving in a really bad rainstorm and i drove through a really biig puddle. water went all over the place, and the car started sputtering and losing rpms. so i downshifted, ( while still half submerged in water ) and i gunned it, it sucked up some more water, and i just drove off like a mad man. im guessing my engine is really clean now. since i usually tap in a vacume hose for the oil injectors, and stick the hose into a gallon of water, and let the engine drink it up. its a good way to destroy carbon. ive seen some regular engine guys do this aswell.

rotaries are actually pretty tough to hydrolock. They can be hydrolocked but they will require quite a bit of water for that to happen.

You should see the faces I get when I talk about turbo's, blow off valves, intercoolers, etcetera.

when i just finished the zc swap and went to a local hangout. this fat ugly kid comes up and looks under my hood and says, "is that doc or sock", i'm thinking wtf does that mean and start to feel stupid and ask him what he's talking about. he says dual cam or single. i look at him, back at my dohc zc, back at him and say single.
