hes a freaking genius :6 The real difference between me and the rest of you guys is I'm a few years older and I've been at this a few years longer. Most of the people who reach my level find jobs in the industry somewhere, and covet what they know as "trade secrets." I freaking love cars too much to do that, it is now and always will remain my hobby and my passion. |

Re: Turbo Science
No, but I have an ex in medical school who could ace it without batting an eye. You don't happen to be an early 20 y/old 5'5", 115 lbs, C-cup, blonde with a sweet ass? If so, she can pass for you in a heartbeat.

If you have 3500-4000 rpm powerband at full boost in your Honduh, with no big dips in power at the lower end of that range, your car ------- rules, end of story.
I learned this a long time ago. All this full-rice HT ---- where you run a GT42 and make 800WHP, but at the expense of boost response and throwing the first 1/8th mile out the window. Wow you made 800, but the car only runs low 10's, WTF. Also they always tune on dyna-packs, which erroneously load up the engine and give a torque curve that is in no way related to actual running conditions. |
Re: Turbo Science
Yeh, I have a GT42R car under my belt, and I know exactly what you mean... notice I said the fastest car I tune has a journal bearing T3/T04E.

The problem is that most of these giant turbos get you to peak efficiency at peak rpm. That's not ideal. You want the powerband to sit accross the center efficiency islands. I wish I could spend money on a smaller turbo for my D, which I might in the future since this SC60 (60-1 basically) will go to my GSR build. ONe day, one day........ |
