Stupid Ricers
 
I am working while I am home for thanksgiving break. This kid I work with just got "sponsored". Apparently he is getting like 12 Grand a year to rice out his car. He was talking to me about turboing because I told him mine was turboed and he started spouting all this really dumb stuff. Said he wants to swap a B16 and then build it but he wants to drop the compression to 7:1 so he can run 20 lbs. I was like, dude, it isn't about lbs it is about power, and who cares about compression. He had no idea about tuning or anything. It was pointless to argue, he said he had talked to people that told him boost and high compression don't mix. Man I am getting really frustrated by this point. Then he wants to know when I am leaving so he can hear my turbo. He was disappointed my BOV wasn't loud because he loves to hear them blow off at idle (which mine doesn't). Sorry for the rant, had to get this out. >:(

7:! is for pussies, 16:1 is where its at, weld up the quench area and you're good to go. 8)

How do you get in on that deal? I'd 'rice' out my '99 civic Si and put good stuff on my CRX.

with a 7:1 comp he won't be able to build boost at idle to let the bov open.
His car will be really slow...

He told me his stock D15b2 kept up with a 454 Chevy Big block in a truck but then he complained about losing to a geo metro at the local races because the metro would sit on his rev limiter when it launched. :-\
