BTW, the GTR's 90,000 mile factory service log book lists seven slots for when transmission assemlbies are replaced and the new trans' serial number. Awesome example, dude.


Were they? It must not have been very impressive as I've never heard of it.

Twin charging is meant for diesels that are built to handle that ----. Also, welcome to the literature I read to acquire most of my forced induction theory - non-VW diesel engineers of the teens and twenties.

You mean the ones that have serious carbon build up problems because for every good idea VW has to colossally ---- up some required essential part of the design????

I am sixty miles from the Dow Corning plant that designed and made all the new diesel-compatible ceramic catalytic converters. Take a look at the big trucks they were designed for, THERE'S YOUR CLEAN DIESEL EMISSIONS.


You didn't research any of the other ---- Jesus mentioned???? (disregard, my reply needed more question marks to keep up with your post)


You mean start over front square one??? (don't disregard, I'm serious)

No, they'd have their panties flamed off for not knowing the first ------- thing about about how an engine works. Big plenum short runner makes power, we've known this from when your dad was reading Hot Rod dreaming of buying his first car, and you do NOT ---- around with port *or runner* diameters unless you've changed valve sizes and/or are going for some serious big power and don't care that the engine is going to be gutless off boost or even at low boost.

There's nothing new or innovative to be done in the automotive realm except for learning enough to actually know what the ---- you are talking about, and make setups/parts that don't have major engineering flaws like, um, most anything VW's made for a couple decades.


Now, Flaco, this is the second post I've come across today where you've singled me out as being incorrect or wrong. I'm going to direct you towards my reply to you about what overhyped unreliable pieces of ---- Subarus are as a performance package - you need to shut the ---- up and listen when I speak about technical matters - because I can get really mean. If you need clarification or a detailed explanation as to why I say the things I do feel free to ask, but the overly emotional flamebait replies are getting a little old. Got that????????

Dual Clutch Transmission- This is actually a technology leased from Borg Warner that is used in vw, audi, seat, skoda, and bugatti. They were still the first to market with a substantial amount of these...

GTR- You wanna talk about overhyped and unreliable? Here you go. I did mention the fact that it the same technology (DSG) was used in this vehicle however made no comment as to anything else including the fact that the tranny costs $20,000 to replace. Here are more examples. M3 and Ferrari California
