i hate kids who dont know what they are talking about
 
so my friends little brother, hes 16 wanted a fast car i guess. he bought like a 1999 or 2000 gsr, it had a turbonetics turbo kit on it and some other ----. i go to see it, its a nice ------- car. a little ricer but it looked nice. i asked what turbo kit he had he said "stage 3 t3 t4." was like thats not a turbo kit, thats the specs of your turbo, he continued to argue with me until i proved him wrong,. so you think with that nice of a car youd have some good fuel managment, nope. he had no idea what fuel managment was. so i pointed out his awesome fmu that he had and the safc which he thought was a turbo timer. (the turbo timer was below the afc. he said its making 350whp, with that turbo kit, stock motor and 8psi. i was like yea ok. sorry for the rant but i hate people who buy nice ---- and dont know anything about it. i can wait till he blows that motor, he wont even know what happened

I hate that too. I was at school the other day looking at the picture of the intake I bought off of Gurusan's post and my buddy was like "60, right?" And I'm like.. wtf? He goes "That'll add about 60 horsepower, right?" :-X Ah well. Just let him blow up his motor then buy the car off of him cheap.

Re:i hate kids who dont know what they are talking about
 
That's why I can' talk to people abotu cars around here. A couple weeks ago this guy was telling me about how I need a turbo timer and how important they are and how they will add so much life to my turbo. I told him I paid $150 for the turbo and I couldn't give a ---- less if it lives another week and takes s ----.

I've also talked to people who claim to be making 600whp in a 2200cc N/A motor with a few basic bolt ons. ::) I just ignore and refrain from talking to people about cars anymore. I can't stand it. :-\

Well yeah, stock B16 comes with 160whp, intake adds 30whp and exhaust adds 30whp so he's actually putting down over 200whp. :o

I hate kids liek that. One guy thought ahis tanabe catback medallion exhaust added 20hp on his stock crx.
He said it had a cam too, but the idle was smooth as butter. Overbored block, when really it was just oversized pistons because he wrecked his old ones and the sucker burnt oil.

Re:i hate kids who dont know what they are talking about
 
turbo timers are kinda important....thats why a lot of people sell S4s at around 70k miles at least a couple people i know did. A turbo timer would prevent the $3500 fee that people pay at the dealer at around those miles to replace the turbos. Why do you think S4s with higher mileage are cheap as ----? i saw a extremely clean s4 w/ 72k miles for 14,000....
this doesn't really matter to anyone on this site because i doubt any of you are actually putting 70k miles on the turbo kit you built with out redoing something....

yeah dude sounds like what happened to me the other day...i was talkin to a couple of friends and we got into an argument b/c he said u couldnt boost a carburated(sp?) car and u know whats funny? there is a carburated truck on the homepage of homemadeturbo ::) and another kid said that his aunts chrystler had a supercharger and it was pushin 28 pounds of boost and this was our convo:
me:how do u know? do u have boost gauge?
dumbfuck kid: no...but its a different type of supercharger! instead of the pistons sucking in the air, the supercharger pushes air in!

At no point, in your rambling incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it.

If you think he put bigger pistons in the car without boring the block you're worse than he is

Hell i had to stop at 16psi on the trailer park 283 because the stock fuel pump was at its limits.They make carbs to handle 20 psi but costs like 800 bucks for a professionally built but so far i think i can handle it.

Re:i hate kids who dont know what they are talking about
 
he isnt making 350whp at 8psi, more like 250 if he is lucky

i havent gotten the "stupid person" yet i get people that ask me how a turbo works. then they usually follow it up by how a supercharger works. i try to stay way from stupid people.

im assuming. i dont know. i was driving in a really bad rainstorm and i drove through a really biig puddle. water went all over the place, and the car started sputtering and losing rpms. so i downshifted, ( while still half submerged in water ) and i gunned it, it sucked up some more water, and i just drove off like a mad man. im guessing my engine is really clean now. since i usually tap in a vacume hose for the oil injectors, and stick the hose into a gallon of water, and let the engine drink it up. its a good way to destroy carbon. ive seen some regular engine guys do this aswell.

rotaries are actually pretty tough to hydrolock. They can be hydrolocked but they will require quite a bit of water for that to happen.

You should see the faces I get when I talk about turbo's, blow off valves, intercoolers, etcetera.

when i just finished the zc swap and went to a local hangout. this fat ugly kid comes up and looks under my hood and says, "is that doc or sock", i'm thinking wtf does that mean and start to feel stupid and ask him what he's talking about. he says dual cam or single. i look at him, back at my dohc zc, back at him and say single.
