JD's assault on a 50+ mpg daily driver.

Re: JD's assault on a 50+ mpg daily driver.
you are such a winy punk !! tell the real story of what happened with the pistons. ******
i sent you the pistons for $150 then you contacted me and said that they were not to your likings due to detonation scars and you said there was clearly shipping damage as well. so you pmed me and we talked about it for an hour and the conclution was that you were going to go down to the post and file a claim for the pistons that clearly also had shipping damage as well. then the next day you contacted me and said that i was the one who had to go down to the post office and speak with the claims department. so the next day i go down there and wait down there for hours because the same guy that does claims is the same guy who does passports. so i had to sit there around 15 stinking *** foreigners doing this ----. then i contacted you and brought you up to speed on things and told you that they first classed the claim to your post office and you would have to go down there and finish up with the claims guy in your post office. you said you would. then two weeks later i tried to get ahold of you to see if you went down there yet, you said no. then a week after that i contacted you again and you said you were still to busy and havent got around to it.
so the reason you never got your money back was becouse your a lazy pot smoking computer geek who "never got around to it" in your exact words

I imagine neither you nor Tony know this since neither of you know much about cars, but the visible pock marks on the pistons are a dead giveaway that they are shitcanned and either of you can figure out that much.
BTW, you got it wrong on every count. It was $150, not $120. Used pistons are not $400+, used pistons go in the $150 range when there is nothing wrong with them. Cotefag posted up a thread saying they were good to go when they were not, and ignorance is no excuse for selling worn out crap, ever ever ever. He LIED saying the reason he did not want them was because he was too lazy to get his block bored and next week he's selling a freshly machined 75.5 mm block which pretty much seals the deal - he KNEW they were bad and was too cheap to spend $400+ on new pistons.

You may know him in real life, he may smile to your face and be your friend, he still fucked me and is keeping the money. Get your head out of your *** and wrap it around that concept, thanks.

Re: JD's assault on a 50+ mpg daily driver.
lol it wasn't drivin on the basemap it wasn't even drivable!!!! we then switched to a vafc and the car ran perfect untill it spun a rod bearing 6-8 months later.. i dunno why j.d. has to lie becouse he doesn't want to go to his post office show them his damaged goods and have it settled .. i like how all the jd nut swingers are talking ---- when they are taking a story in from a liar they have never even met .. bottom line is you lied about sayn it was his fault after he went to the post office and made the claim all you have to do is now go to your post office and settle it but instead you bitch and moan and consider it a complete loss yo !! I don't see how you can say they were fucked up in shipping and then make a thread talking ---- about him personally, he did everything he could to make things right.. and didn't you see pictures first ?? i
think your mad at yourself and taking it out on BAC

JD choose what you want, shipping is $10 in a flat rate box.......

Re: JD's assault on a 50+ mpg daily driver.
Anyone that stoped to think for a second will realise that e85 is the fastest way to not achieve the goal :-) Unless you use a correction factor when running it? But that's like engine HP from a chassis dyno, its cheating. So it has to be straight pump gas with low alc content or the mpg won't be good at all. Just thought I'd stop by and point that out. Good luck with it :-)

Re: JD's assault on a 50+ mpg daily driver.
my 89 std hatch got 35-40 mpg on the stock engine. i dont know why you want to buy 87 so bad instead of paying the extra 20-30cents for 91-93. thats like what 2-3 dollars when you buy ten gallons? at the prices there at right now you almost have to be ------- retarded to buy 87 when you got something that needs 91-93. ill put 87 in one of my shitty cars but if it has anything performance with a higher compression ratio ill opt for spending the extra couple dollars. you wont be saving much money for the trouble of using 87 might bring down the road with such a high compression ratio. just my thought on the matter.
and i think 50mpg is not to high of a goal. im pretty sure ive read of the hippies that get rid of all the drag on the car getting better. someone posted a link on hmt of a website with all the hippies cars getting crazy gas milage

You said in your own thread that it was the fastest transaction in history, I ----------ing PAID you with no BS because I expected a no BS transaction from an OG. Instead, I get retarded *** ruined pistons that can't be re-used, and a big fat hassle when it comes time to get my money back.

I said I thought this was a no bullshit transaction with an OG, not an ignorant-fest perpetrated by a tard who doesn't know his head from his -------.

Sadly he will most likely need to run damn close to stoich most of the time to allow whatever minor cooling the fuel will provide to avoid knock. Since he will probably increase his power 5-10%, he will need more fuel than stock, so again, probably not going to be able to achieve such a great lean burn.
Based off of my experience with B-series, where a B16 head and high domed CTR style piston creates a volatile low rpm tip-in detonation condition in the mid 13:1 range, and a GSR or welded B16 chamber (where the CR comes from extra quench) pulling off near 14:1 CR on pump gas, I'm not too worried about pulling 12.5:1 off on 87 octane with a quench-fest of complementary piston/head design.
The thing everyone is forgetting about lean burn is the car is going to cruise @ 12-14 inches of mercury because high CR engines with puny cams draw more vacuum... there isn't any appreciable power in that range in any engine, meaning there is no appreciable airmass ingested; the tinier combustion chamber isn't exactly loaded up with charge density, and if you simply tune the ignition timing in that area it's not a problem. Remember, Rass, I am not dealling with Hyundaidata or Clone with their classic inability to advance or retard ignition timing past a certain point. Tip-in acceleration at low rpm, or low rpm WOT will be touch, but I can also bring in extra tip-in ignition retard and prolong the decay of that extra retard. I'm pretty confident I can pull it off, it's not like anyone else has tried it with this combo of parts running the best software out. If I'm wrong, well hell, I'll have a pretty good idea of what can and does work for anyone who wants to know. Same ----, different day.
