  1. A lot of reputable companies make them, SARD for one...which shocked me. Nonetheless, waste of money...as they say, show me the dyno.
  2. If you set a date, I'll let you know....also got a address I can mapquest? PM me if you don't wanna publish...
  3. That you paid too much Just poking with you, I don't know what a custom fab'd dual would cost.....single is cheap though.
  4. Plenty of people have it, mine's powdercoated FWIW....in chrome/polish though.
  5. That's what you get for paying $700 for an exhaust.
  6. Get an EVO, get out of this community for your own sake. :D
  7. Way to stereotype a car you own, when you own a fake version of another, mullet man rawr, why didn't they merge >_<
  8. Cheapo FMIC, weren't you looking at an Ebay POS intercooler a couple weeks ago & mine is a spearco....? You love your brokeback quote too. When you gonna come down, a lot of stock turbo volvos would love to hang with your gaybra...what were the timeslips again? WAIT WAIT....all superchargers are the same, doesn't matter their size 10lbs on a kenne bell is the same as 10lbs on a vortech. right!? WAIT, 4200$ eyesore paintjob > built motor Isn't it a good idea to run injectors at 100% duty? Can I bolt this turbo on or do I need a flange? (pointing at externally gated turbo) IS THE POWER RED AND THE GROUND BLUE??? What's that noise when I let off the throttle, WHERE ARE ALL MY GASES GOING??!?!?!?!? God, there is just so much. Thanks, what shop built your gaybra for you? I don't know the Fort Myers area well in those terms. <3
  9. Beat his jerk in front of his wife huh? Did you show up in your gaybra? Might be why he didn't wanna sell it to you... :P
  10. Huh? They do here, stuff gets deleted & editted all the time. And I have no idea what you meant by that. w/e, night.
  11. Ah yes, Grant...always the one who is up and up on the facts. Once again, :rolleyes:
  12. A man does not do those things, an idea does. But yes, yay for martyrdom & the thousands lining up to take his place. We accomplished so much.
  13. Treason lol. Most of the stuff you see isn't even entirely true or true at all, mostly just to distract us & to some extent, them.
  14. On a car you're turboing it's a necessity...but factory turbo'd cars come with their own version of a BOV known as a CBV. Still, I would get it just because you never have to worry about it tearing in the future, like CBVs are prone to do.
  15. Holy monkey I misread that completely, sorry about that >_< long day @ work.
  16. Please don't misinform him and say that BOVs are useless. Consider that BOVs come standard on our cars in the form of CBVs so yes, there is no NEED for them unless your CBV is torn or is going to obviously tear based on future modding. A BOV vents the air that has not entered the block when throttle is closed...if it were not vented it would hit the closed throttle plate & reverse back towards the compressor housing, reversion & attempt to spin the blades in the reverse direction aka compressor surge. "The sole purpose of this device? TO PREVENT COMPRESSOR SURGE. Once the throttle plate snaps shut, the entire intake is pressurized. If that pressure spikes too high, it creates backpressure on the compressor turbine and can, in fact, damage the turbo. You could end up with anything from bent blades on the compressor wheel to a snapped shaft. (Imagine two wheels connected together by a shaft. Both are spinning at the same speed. Suddenly, you grab one and bring it to a dead stop while the other one is still spinning at the same speed it was spinning at. What do you supposed will happen? Something's gotta give.) A BOV is insurance against that. When the manifold goes into vacuum (When the throttle plate slams shut, the engine is still trying to ingest air. Because it's not being provided, it's sucking from the manifold and creating a vacuum situation.), the BOV is opened and excess pressure in the intake tract is vented into the atmosphere. It, in no way, regulates boost. So whether it's 7 psi, 2 psi, 12 psi, or 30 psi, it won't matter. You need a BOV." - a honda guy, :ph34r:
  17. Send me pictures of the hoses, quake328@aol.com I'll take them if I like em, they're the real stuff, braided silicone or w/e...not crap rubberlike eh? pics of material construction, side details, etc. if you have. :)
  18. I'll take one, just PM me paypal...I might wait for camo though...gotta see how it turns out...maybe urban.
  19. Never gonna sell, too much $ & no real gain besides looks...I guessssss aluminum is an improvement in theory. Sorry dude.
  20. Secondaries? Did he really just say that? Completely unnecessary, you will never need them. Reminds me of the kid I know who just bought a second fuel rail for his integra so he can run 700cc w/ 1000cc secondaries to make 700whp, :rolleyes:
  21. Well, you don't want to smooth out what you've ported within the intake manifold...you want it rough for velocity. So no polish...and porting the manifold only allows you to get the very beginning and end of the runners leaving the middle as a restriction. It's an improvement, but ideally you'd extrude hone...well no, ideally you'd make a straight runner or ITB. Speaking of, anyone ever tried an ITB setup?
  22. Good thing for the Magic cards or I might've shot myself reading this thread. POOK just pick up Slater's TB when it comes out and don't worry about it. If you really want to mess with your intake manifold, extrude hone it...don't port.
