Just because boost makes more power, doesnt mean that its always better.
If you can't sort a RWD chassis to corner under power with more than 105 whp you need to stfu and learn instead of flapping your pillow biters.

We got the sedan. And continued to get sedans. But no coupes after 1990. We got hosed.

Were you talking to me or

I didnt have any problems with my bolt on 4age out at Gingerman Raceway. Kept up with many of ITR powered EG hatches and the like. So, I would say thats good enough for a stock-eque car.

theres a lot of truth in what this guy says. and there is more to say over and above what he has too.

We have a naturally asphxiated ****** coming to a grassroots turbocharging forum and stating that an engine which is normally a bit of a dog and down on power is ideal. I stated that (s)he was a flagrant homosexual, and needs to grow a pair.

Any questions, Fred?

i read the thread, and thats not how it looked to me. one more chance to not eat your words/clarify your position before i say it how it is :-) stop dodging the question i asked. i have no questions for you, and you already know that i'm sure. i'm familiar with your posting style and content, and would like to take this chance to thank you for being part of the "sales team" that sold me the holset. i had a few jolly good laughs at some of your posts in that massive honda/holset thread on the other site at others expense. but you should really stick to not being sloppy with your attacking comments. if you put a little time effort and content into your posts instead of constant one liners, you can really make yourself look clever, and the other dude look silly, but if you half heartedly say things like "corner under power", you are bound to come off looking silly one way or another.

ps, i didnt know honda had an engine called a "GSR" or a car called an H22? wanna explain that statement of yours in a meaningful way, another thread is ok, let me know and i can start one for you to discuss rod bearings in :-)

I think it's pretty obvious what JD means here.
