A kid asked me how i got my car to make the whoosh noise (My BOV) and if theres a button for it.
 
Alright so I went down to our local checker yesterday to pick up the last things I needed to swap out my turbos. I know the guy at the front counter and he's pretty cool so I'm telling him my plans and such for my car. Well he owns this FWD Hyundai Tiburon and he goes on to tell me what his plans are.

He literally says he is having the engine built all titanium and then he is going to the diesel truck junkyard to get a turbo and i kid you not he claimed it was bigger than my head. He said he was going to mount it above the hood and be pushing 160psi thats right 160 FRICKING psi of boost and he said the titanium engine would be able to handle that. He also said the added weight of titanium would keep his front tires on the ground.

I just kinda went :) cool bro then walked out and ROFLROFLROFLROFL for about ten minutes

the button is hooked up to the gas pedal (sp) LOL someone asked me why my o2 dumped into the atmosphere they said "i thought you had to resirc that into your intake i was like that would be awesome lets do it on your car 1st"
 
haha i got a better one it wasnt a dsm but a honda i had a 91 crx and i need wire harness for one so i talked to a guy about buying his 91 crx si and he told me the motor was blown so i bought it for 100 tear the car apart it had a dead battery and a blown clutch took everytying out of the si sold the body to a junk yar (had rust mine didnt) saw the guy he asked what i did with his car i told him it got crushed and i had the motor in my car :D
 
** This event was in spanish, i am going to translate**
This was about a week ago, i asked this guy driving a 1g with a bodykit and rims all rice out with decals, if his car was turbo, and he was like "yeah it is", i then proceed to ask if it was stock turbo and he responds "well i took off the turbo cause it went bad". This happened at an autozone parking lot, he had his hood up cause he was cleaning the terminals on his battery, when i finish paying for my stuff at the register, i go outside and look at the motor and to no surprise it was all stock minus an intake. Never had the turbo and the stock heat shield was still in place and all. It was a spanish guy, mind you he was one of those latin people we have down here in south florida that "make up and talk a load of crap".
Later he proceeds to show me a stock t25 he said he was selling that he "took off his car" and to another surprise it was a t25 with no actuator arm. I was like no thanks bro mine has the same turbo.
Later on the way out with my friend in his gst, he tells us we need to turbo the car having already told him previously we had the same motor he had but turbod. We left and slightly sounded the bov and he was like with thumbs up "oh man that was great", i was like wanna race? He was like no im good.
Dumb***...
 
i was looking at a 92 auto awd with a hell of a engine overhaul, the guy said he thinks the tranny is bad and he doesn't wanna bother with it so i went and got a friend and we looked at it and he bought it, we pull it home and tinker with her a little bit and then we take it down to the gas station were we see the guy we just bought it from and he said i wouldn't be driving it with a bad tranny, i then told him it was just the TCU, he was pissed:mad:

Thats kinda what happend to me. I blew up the 90 and the guy I bought the 91 from had put a new motor ported and polished head with some comp cams and A TRE tranny with fidanza flywheel and 2600 clutch. Well couldnt get it started tried for ever. I went to him with 2 g cash rolled the car on the trailer and my buddy is good friends with him and they were talking so I turned the key on no cel and boost gauge didnt move. I hurried up and swaped ECU's and started the car while it was on the trailer. He wasnt too happy.

Im glad as soon as he signed the title I signed it and put it in my pocket. I had alot of work yet to do to it because the guy was kind of an idiot. Had a bad 14b. I swapped injectors intake, exhaust. wheels and tires and went over it with a fine tooth comb.

haha the best part was he saw me two weeks later cruising around. Every time I see him he just gives me a dirty look.

Lol! That's ALL HIS FAULT for being stupid. Enjoy the car, brother.
 
I was in another forum, and posted my slow time on my gvr4. and they started to talk about power robbing mods to my car. A 4g owner just said this
"def! Headers take away torque and low end hp. they are only good at high RPM bands"
 
last night I was asked if my Gvr4 was a "Acura Legend" I replied with "No, its a mitsubishi galant", he asked "Its a v6 right?" I was replied with "I4 Turbo charged", Hes like "did you add the turbo?" I said "nah stock turbo" he then said, "oh thats cool," and then rambled on about his harley...... Thing is does my car look like a Honda/Acura????? wtf LOL

I don't think it looks like a Honda/Acura, it's just that the average car person has no clue what an early Galant looks like. Much less variations of those early Galants.
 
You know, I get strange looks when I tell people that I want to make a Camaro Mid Engine, Rear drive... Usually after that, no one takes me serious. I wonder why?

((Just so you know, I still plan to try. Even if it doesn't work, I'll have some fun trying. XD ))

And I filled my quota of stupid for the week.
 
Am I going to die?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I managed to swallow antifreeze today. I'm working on a local member's GSX changing out his 16g. Disconnected the coolant line and coolant poured out. Dropped my flashlight in the puddle. Later on had to get on my back for the downpipe, antifreeze on the back of my head and i subconsciously put the flashlight in my mouth to hold it while I fiddled with the bolts. It was then I noticed that the flashlight tasted sweet and then it dawned on me. So yeah, am I going to die?
^that is the dumbest thing. LOL just kidding.
 
LOL LOL LOL

I would sh!t my pants if the intake pipe runs down to an intercooler.

Why go through all the work if you can't feel the power?!? Seriously, the hard part is done....freakin' hot-pipe it from the compressor outlet to the throttle body and you have horsepower.

The funniest part of this? The dude probably has no idea why his car isn't making boost.
 
1. kid with a auto 2g gs rolls up to our spot ### he seen me and some ohter dsms and started talkin to us , he asked about my car so i told him ,he had no idea what i was talking about so i stopped and then told me he wanted to race me when he ordered his new parts off ebay, bov cold air,intake header and a "chip"and...streetglow WTF...i didnt know you could have a BOV without a turbo or i wouldnt have bought my shiny new hx35,LOL:p

2.friend of mine riding with me over summer not gonna mention who ### he's a tard ....im on the highway and he heard me spoolin and asked if i had nitrous or something i said no why??:rolleyes:, he said oh ### i thought i heard something leaking i told him my intake had a hole in it and he beleived me:tease:, but later i explained the concept of a turbo to him:D

3.guy i worked with in a machine shop argued with me that there is no way a dsm could make 500hp....he asked me if i had a turbo and he said he knew guys with fully built 426's that struggle to make 400hp:beatentodeath: and he said im full of sh*t
