Re: Can't win em all.

Major turbo pros: *Easiest adjustabilty FALSE You can adjust both with a knob. Show me a S/C that you can adjust the boost on, on the fly, over a wide psi range, from inside the cabin, at the turn of a knob... *Less moving parts FALSE A VG30DETT has 4 Moving parts and a Screwtype 3 4...how do you get 4? You referring to the wastegates? Either way...I was referring to single turbo applications. Thanks for thinking for a second and, instead of giving me the benefit of the doubt, making me type this. *Simpler FALSE How do you figure? There's a whopping *ONE* moving part... *Higher VE good point Lower Delta Temp good point Ehh.... *Easer to install good point Why do I have to worry about installation of a S/C when I BUY MY CAR with a turbo? Null point. Quote:
Anyway...read up. What the HELL difference does it matter if I've seen one or not? Bet you haven't seen one of those Mercedes or Jags you mentioned. What's it matter? That mercedes is far from production so I wouldn't even count that...but what ever. And...for the record...it is legal to have them here...as long as they're for "display purposes only". And...you won't believe this, I'm sure, but it doesn't matter...I *DID* see one at a Barett Jackson auto auction in West Palm Beach, FL. I almost shit myself. Quote:

Your statment: -I don't know of many S/C'd cars that are even noteworthy. - -I could name 100's if not more. Can you? You first. -About half of what you said isn't noteworthy. Please backup your -statments so we all my learn. Don't be like that...if you doubt something, bring it up when you read it and I'll show you where I got it...not now like "nothing you say matters". If you want to play like that, fine...I'll drown you in fact, links and resources if that's what you want. In the mean time, ask me for resources and you shall recieve. Quote:

Re: Can't win em all.
Thanks delerious. I have no clue what you're talking about regarding the 600 hp Z, though....

Here is the intended link. Gotta love that 11 sec run with stock turbos, huh? Few guys on there running 10s as well.

LLZ better go back to your post that I posted also. The 10 sec. cars are with power adders, look at the next group, stock TT's 11.61. Correct me if I'm wrong, but we were talking about stock turbo'd Z32's. Then the subject of 9-10 second cars on the street came up, and I said it's very hard to drive and keep a 9-10 sec. car on the street. I said I've never seen or heard of a 9-10 sec.Z32 with stock turbo's. And the fact of the matter I still haven't. Kyle's car isn't a stock turbo Z32.
As for manual control waste gates and dump valves they have been around almost as long as I have. The new ones for superchargers are controled via throttle setting and manifold pressure. The one I have is a Moon Engineering manual boost control. I don't even know if they still make them anymore. Higher VE, and lower delta temp. Unless you've read the posts about turbos and superchargers you wouldn't understand. As for being easer to install, appearently you haven't changed a turbo yet. As for only one 959 in the USA, at last count that was it, and it was purchased in Germany for 1 million and the US government wouldn't allow it in the country except for showing and as a collector car. Read the story. The guy baught 8 of them and shipped 7 back to Europe, that leaves 1. 8 -7 =1. The ones you see now ARE NOT original 959 but models built for the US market. And if you'd like the name of the guy that baught my 911 Ruf I'd be more than happy to give you his name and phone number, and I still have my old reg. and plates off it if you'd like to see them. lol As for the Mercedes and Jag, I've see them both. As for noteworthy supercharged cars, I just named 2 plus the Marmon meteror driven by Ab Jenkins. Thats 3 very famous supercharged cars. There's more famous turbo'd cars but I want you to name a few. Now were talking about famous not popular, cars that are in record books or museum's and have become noteworthy. Like Mickey Thompson's 4 engine streamliner, supercharged. I'd give you some hints but I want you to do your homework Please drown me in facts, thats what I've been trying to say. People say this and that but don't back up what they say. Or take things and twist it around to suit there needs, and can't back it up. When I say most of your statments aren't noteworthy, neather are mine unless I can back up what I say, they aren't unless you can back them up with facts. Like something you've done yourself, or something read printed by someone with authority. As for Kyles SGPRacing car, It isn't a stock turbo'd car. It's loaded, and he has the ability to keep it maintained and tuned to a nats ass. If he didn't it wouldn't be running. You could drive a Indy car on the street if you wanted to spend the rest of your life keeping it tuned. |

Sorry but when someone says there's more than one then posts a web that tells the story of how 8 were shipped but 7 were returned, just wanted to make sure you understood, dick. Truth hurts don't it?
