Did he post that 430whp dyno graph yet?

I dont want to read any of this post, because this kid knows nothing about what he is talking about or doing. He says that turbo cars need a 27% correction factor in colorado.

Solid Noob post. Great build. That thing must be a handful to drive. Got any Vids?

Completely wrong. Ask Tony Palo why his TIP went through the roof when he was in Denver, compared to normal sea level venues. You basically overspin the ---- out of the turbo to flow a given airmass and there's a big frictional loss across it, making it a whole lot less efficient.


And, the OP is a failfag whose tuning ability is lacking. FYI, ability to make a correct n00b intro post complete with **** is directly proportional to ability to tune. $5 says if he posts **** his car won't run like peniswhistle.

There isn't a single component on your car, or your car as a whole, that even compares to my build. My car is on an entirely different level, and not only does it show, but the people here seem to agree.

Thanks, and, well, too late. Not a tree, but I put it into a Ford Taurus a couple weeks ago

Thanks! It is beyond a handful, so much that I don't even push its limits. Its ok in a straight line though, traction is fairly good, and when it spins, the backend stays inline. Here's the 3 vids I have:

Good point about the altitude. It just affects so much, that's it's hard to even guess at what it does, and it certainly won't be uniform for all cars, and all altitudes. My turbo is nowhere near being overspun, but it's definitely higher on the map.

The reason my tune was ---- isn't because I couldn't tune, it was because I was having a problem with the RPM pickup on my piggyback. That's since been fixed, and my tune is pretty solid right now. And I've already posted a few semi-nude pics!

You are grossly mis-informesd...

1. That turbos ex housing is too small for that thing. Period, and going to a T4 housing is NOT going to hurt spool anywhere near as much as you think.
2. You wont lose 1000s of rpms spool yime.
3. Its not ALL about top end power. but Iwont get into that as you obviously are m isinformed and Id rather ---- your mother than try to get you to understand
4. Your car isnt wicked fast... How do I know Because mine IS
5. DOnt be a ****** and ---- a halfway good noob post by being a ******... There are alot of people around here whom built thewre own ---- who have nicer setups and make WAY more impressive numbers

By the way, your **** is lacking so is your ------- attirude, your car isnt all that, its neat... But its a ------- Fiero... Your attitude correlates wonderfully.




Did I mention its slow

Guess the first clue should have been it being a Fiero..... oh well, im just a sucker for different......

1. It HAS a T4 housing already. That's why I ordered it witht he biggest turbine combo you could get on a 35R.
2. You're right, I won't lose any, because I'm not going to do it.
3. So a larger turbine will allow me to gain low end power, and spool time? Aside from the newer styles mentioned above, that's wrong.
4. I don't mean it's wicked fast compared to every other car on the road. I drive plenty faster cars on a regular basis. It's wicked fast for a Fiero. You'd have to drive one to understand.
5. I never said there weren't.

I bought a Fiero for a reason. I've got access to plenty of other cars that are "better" in your ignorant eyes. But it isn't about that. It's about what I wanted, and I've got it. The Fiero looks good to me. Just like people here that think their Honda looks good. I don't, but it isn't my car. Next, the Fiero is light. I've got the heaviest one ever made, and it weighed 2800 (Now sitting at about 2500). It's RWD. It hooks up better than AWD cars. I'm 6'4", and I fit comfortably, and easily. I chose the car for a reason, and you can't find me a better car at the same budget. I appreciate your input, and am open to ideas about improving its drivability and turbo response, but so far, you have't offered any constructive input. HiProfile did.

Jesus ------- Christ



Well at least you know how to spell you're according to context... Ill give you a cookie for that fior sure.



It needs a bigger snail.... IT WONT HURT spool NEARLY as much as you seem to think.... Dispolacement is on your side. What do I know, I drive a four door Accord,,, You dont have to tell me about being different. Ignorant You mlake me laugh ------, actually its sad you cant even **** me off. But anyone that thinks (even a mid engfine chassis) hooks up better than an AWD platform is a moron, or whomever they know that has said QWD fails at life (and driving).

I could give a ---- what you do with the car. Ive got **** on this site telling me to put my setup in a hatch/civic/teg all the ------- time as I destroy all that is beautiful (trannywisse) In my choice of platform. COntrary to your ------- skewed interpretation...

The ignorant one here in this threraad seems tyo be you thus far.

Post some ------- **** (Not some Mervynns bathing suit ads) and ull your head out of your boyfriends man -----.
