New threads soon to come
 

Since I am now in office, I plan to make some very slight changes to this topic area. First will be a newbie thread. I'm going to cut/paste off of all the old posts I've done for people to congromulate some sort of ultimate newbie info station. As most know I'm leaving for NYC in a few hours so this will have to wait a week. Any suggestions will be appreciated, I will spend some time to make sure everything is in check for the people.

Second, I would like to try and get some more knowledge bases going for experienced users. This will take some time, but I'm sure everyone will pull thru. Upgrades is what we is all about, from water injection to air/water intercoolers. I would like to start building ---- and creating writeups. I hope my fabrication skills can help others to push the envelope.

Yeah I will delete this post when I have generated the final one.. but sticky for now.

Only real suggestions please, no bullshit.. we are trying to recruit potential forum donaters.. I mean helpers. Please keep the name calling to general forum, I will delete useless ---- from childish members.

quadnie, the one thing this forum needs is a updated FAQ, or a "how to turbo" write up, with pictures and everything, explaining the basics and the technical, it should provide links to resources, but it should also cover everything in itself, have a section for every part of a turbo set up ghetto or pro, covering every aspect of that, and also a index and a glossory, explaining everything in simple to understand english. that would be wicked.

Re:New threads soon to come
 

Okay, I have my work cut out for me then. I will be needing sample picture from you people since my project cars aren't with me currently, and I doubt anyone wants to see anything more of my beefy sbc.

I have no problem turning this mother fucker into an epic FAQ, as long as I can get some backup when I need it. Gimme a week or two, you'll see what I can do for you.

Re:New threads soon to come
 

yeah, i'm sure people will help, jeff has a pretty decent FAQ but i bet it could be expanded easily to help solve many headaches for everyone, you need to incoporate plaenty of advice in the faq, pros and cons of using this versus that, I'll be glad to help you, and i'm sure most other memeber will too. just work hard bitch.

Re:New threads soon to come
 

Hey guys, I've answered quite a few welding questions here too... would anyone like a buying a welder FAQ sticky?? Wrong area for that? Let me know before I compile (next week that is).

Re:New threads soon to come
 

Go for it. Let me know if you need help with anything. The *FAQ* has been a nice thing to have around, but I agreee it needs to be upgraded. Hurry up and get back here so you can get on that. ;)

Re:New threads soon to come
 

I have no plans to kill the FAQ, I like it just the way it is. What I want to do is start something new for the newbies, and maybe some other threads for common questions, like "what welder should I buy"

Re:New threads soon to come
 

make a nice new FAQ like the one the engine managements got. all sexy and organized.

Re:New threads soon to come
 

model a new FAQ after the engine management forum. That ----'s real organized over there and user friendly

Re:New threads soon to come
 

I agree!... ;) ;D

Re:New threads soon to come
 

welcome, i like how you adress posts on here.

good guy.

i got "some" knowledge on stuff :) lemme know if you need any help.

Re:New threads soon to come
 

Quadnie...why reinvent the wheel...Haberdasher has made a great turbo nooie guide that is very comprehensive.

I'm sure he wouldnt mind getting a sticky and credit if you ask him.

http://www.beesandgoats.com/boostfaq/g2icturbo.html

Check it out...he put a lot of work into this.

I think a very basic guide to understanding compressor maps is in order as well...I struggle to understand, but if you want, I'll do some research and a write-up if you think it might be a necessity.

Re:New threads soon to come
 

damnit, I typed up a bunch of ----, then this stupid ass weak wireless network that I'm pirating off of dropped connection when I hit post. :-[

Anyways, yeah I've checked out that website, very good info, particularly for hooking up your gen 2 integra. Only drawback is the amount of reading that has to be done, I've read it a few times over and havce recommended it to enough newbies to check out.

I was thinking about maybe connecting some of my prior posts and consolidating it to an all-in-one thread (similar to the current FAQ) I don't know the specifics yet, I will have an outline for people soon. Give me a week or so to start to bring things together, I'm just a HMT junkie that I'm accessing it across the country in hotel rooms and ----.

I will figure something out, try and save me from typing a few pages of coverage for individual posts. Maybe refer it to other posts that are made, sticky one, archive the rest? I don't know yet, we'll see.. in worst case I can always unsticky whatever.

Thanks everyone for offering help, I will let you know when I figure stuff out more. Any suggestions are welcome, I'm sure I'll get lots of feedback when I have an outline setup.

Re:New threads soon to come
 

Even thogh the numbers are small,(only a handfull that ive seen) How about a Carbureted Forced induction thread?

Those of us afraid of that darn new fangeled technology ;D can only get so much info from the Injected topics.

Thats just my .02 cents :)

Re:New threads soon to come
 

Yeah, I still run a nice 650 cfm carb (I think it flows that much), once I get caught up and pile some research into it, you will see a blow-thru carb thread.. I even have some old school hot rod people that I want to email and recruit to the board for help - can't let yahoo's section have all the fun on the net.

Let me get some things accomplished first around here, then you'll see.

Re:New threads soon to come
 

Moving on up man, nice job. I might purchase an 81 Cutlass ($300, runs and drives nicely) and wouldn't mind attempting to turbocharge the Carb'd 350. I'll be looking forward to your thread.

Re:New threads soon to come
 

That motor can pretty much accept your basic square bore holley double pumper, but you're going to have to find a nice aftermarket intake for it. Slight differences in pontiac/olds/chevy motors. Let me know if you make the purchase.

Re:New threads soon to come
 

i never understood why this thread had a sticky

Re:New threads soon to come
 

was going to get unstickied and locked as soon as I got off my lazy ass and started up some of them new threads I was talking about.

But cause you whined about it, unstickied.

Re:New threads soon to come
 

thats why i love u quadnie

Re:New threads soon to come
 

I think thaat a huge FAQ section would be very helpful. There are many new people, and lot of them dont fully understand fuel management, and turbo sizing, and such...
(I dont even understand it 100%) ---I think a huge FAQ would be awsome.

Re:New threads soon to come
 

Heres an idea just make a how to sticky forum. Everyone could just make a topic. EG...
Welding
manifolds
engine swaps
insert other ---- here

I think that wouldbe cool. All you have to do is just scroll down the page and find what you are looking for.

Re:New threads soon to come
 

That's actually the idea I was having, just to link a bunch of posts from HMT into kinda a informative directional thread.. I just need to know how to outline these things right. I can't touch the existing stickies, but at the same time I don't want to overload this forum with new stickies.. I will have to be tactful in placing these things right.

I was thinking maybe a Beginners Start Here thread, which will mostly be directions for the newbies, the ---- that I've wrote tens of times over.. instead I'll get it all over at once, then have everyone else input.

Next maybe an advanced users/fabrication thread? I know that all fabrication questions get thrown into this forum, would be nice to have some sort of organization about them. The rest of the topics that have either already been covered or whatnot (like how to compression check thread a month ago) will be listed.

Tell me what you guys think, whatever I do can always be undone, so no worries.

Re:New threads soon to come
 

Yeah yeah, I know. Cut me some slack.. this is a long process. First step was getting approval, next I had to make sure not to piss anyone off setting this ---- up. Finally I'm going to have to write like 2 ------- pages of spell check perfect ----. On top of that I'm going to have to do a bunch of research to resurrect some old threads to ad to the list. It will get done when it gets done. Who knows, I may do it tonight.. the good thing is I'm not having to answer so many newbie questions.. otherwise that would have motivated me a bit.

Re:New threads soon to come
 

The sad part is that newbies don't read threads like the FAQ and they continue to ask the repeat questions. We also need a better search feature becuase the one now is close to useless
