Non specific Forced Induction category

I think that under "Cars in General" there should be a non specific Forced Induction/N2O category, as this site stands now, in order to talk about forced induction one must stray into a foriegn category. If someone wants to turbocharge a Neon (for example) and needs advice, there is no Neon forced induction category. In my opinion, many people do not post about the subject as they do not want to stray into the Honda forum, or another forum containing a forced induction category. I think AF's users could benifit from a non specific forced induction category.

Does anyone read these things? Or is it like the suggestion box at my old job...I ended up suggesting it right into the garbage because we never read it.

i complettelly agree....polygon asked for it a while ago but it was ignored......

it would be nice to have a forced induction forum for everyone.....hondas are not the only cars that have FI

I completely agree. Tried getting this done a month or so ago but nobody paid attention.

well maybe if they see more people interested... I think is a good idea:bigthumb:

In all honesty I would like a similar "general tech section" for cars besides Honda/Acura.

I agree, but that is kind of what the engineering and technical section is all about. Does Igor ever read this stuff?

I think he reads most of them.

turbo, turbo, turbo......forum :attention :attention :attention :attention :attention :attention :attention :attention :attention :attention

Well, I dont think Igor reads these things. I guess that means no FI forum. :crying:

I'll just throw in a tantrum.....see if it works

<tantrum>non specific turbo forums....non specific turbo forums.....non specific turbo forums........non specific turbo forums.......non specific turbo forums.......non specific turbo forums</tantrum>











:biggrin:

Convinced me...

i think itz more so in the honda/acura forum b/c that's where a lot of people go and that's where people have a wealth of info.....i don't think we need a forum for NA and FI...i think it should be in a specific car forum

Thats all fine and dandy for you because you have a Honda, what if someone with (for example) a Neon wants to turbocharge it. Where does he go? We don't have a Dodge FI forum, should they go to the Honda forum? Besides, surely the turbocharger deserves its own forum, as the concepts behind it are far more complicated than any nitrous kit. The principles behind forced induction are universal for all turbochargers and vehicles, so why isn't the forum? We have a Cars in General forum.

that's why u ask for a FI forum in the Neon forum :sly: as with any other car forum.....like i mentioned b4....i think it needs to be car forum specific :2cents:

i don't think igor would be willing to add something in the vicinity of several hundert new forums about FI for each car....


all we ask is for a simple general turbo forum for the rest of us...

Why not have the FI category with 3 subforums...turbo, supercharger, N2O? Some cars are factory supercharged and need a place to learn/share experiences with others. Same for turbo'ed cars. To my knowledge, no car has yet to come stock with N2O, though.
Maybe it will be added when the new server gets put in?

i doubt any car will come stock with n20....too many people already think they know how to mess with turbos and end up blowing their engines from too much boost.....think of what they can do with n20....besides...itz illegal to have it hooked up in any car

i doubt any car will come stock with n20.......itz illegal to have it hooked up in any car

Well, that was kinda a joke to begin with. And why would you say N2O is illegal to have in any car? I have friends with nitrous, and no where have i seen/heard of a cop giving a ticket because of it. And if it was illegal, why would there be such a large aftermarket for it?

if u haven't noticed....mabey not in ur area.....but a lot of aftermarket stuff is illegal yet they sell it for "Off-road use only"....a lot of people drive aroud here with n2o hooked up in their car....either they don't know the law or don't care
