Weird turn of events

[clipsekid99]

Well, this was quite a shock to me, considering how my parents are towards me modding the car....

I told the parents that I bought 14b on Sunday. They were kinda mad, but not really. Anyway, I was making lunch today, and my dad comes in and asks me why I want to put a ~16 year old turbo on the car. He then said he'd rather me buy a brand new one. I told him they don't make these anymore. So he then told me to order the evo3 16 I originally wanted. I was pretty much speechless.

I would love to get it, but the only thing holding me back is that I can't do any fuel mods. How far can I push an e16g on stock fuel? I'm guessing not much. Would it be more beneficial to keep the 14b?

IF I were to buy it right now, I'm going with

with the genuine MHI e16g.

Also, would I also have to really tune it if I got the e16g since it will flow so much more air, eventhough I'm not touching the fuel?

Please give me honest answers! Thanks

Obviously you'll want some kind of logger and tuning device (safc2)?, but you could run that turbo until you are able to do fuel mods. As long as you don't crank the shit out of the boost you should be alright.

I already have an safc/logger, but I can't do fuel for a long time.... prolly like a year or so when I move out.

Hell no... what you do is... buy the turbo, then tell your dad the car's gonna burst into flames if you don't have a fuel controller. Then tell him it was his idea to buy the turbo in the first place.

If that doesn't work, you could always give me the e16g

Why? Do you parents keep close enough tabs on you to know if you spend the extra $300 for a 190 and some 550's?

My mom does... anytime I have a box shipped to the house she asks what it is... and I have too many siblings around to lie a/b it...

I'm worried b/c I bought that 50-trim and it's supposed to be here tomorrow... I think I can get away with it this time, b/c I have a crapload of other parts coming in (to get the car back on the road).

That's why you ship it to someone elses house. I've done that a couple times. Other times I just get lucky. Like when my cams can in. No one was home. They uisually ask what I get. So I just ship it else where, either to my boys who is right down the block or my g/f house.

I've thought a/b doing this... but my boys all live too far away(I live in country)... and my g/f lives w/me...

I have thought a/b shipping it to Meineke, where my boys work... but they'd prolly joke me and say that they never showed up...

that and my g/f would find out and talk shit if I shipped it to my best friend's house...

I just started a sepreate account and any time something comes in I tell my parents I got it for really cheap on ebay and I used paypal. Works every time

[Thor06]

Me too, of all the car parts I have ever ordered none went to my house.

[clipsekid99]

I think I'm gonna just stick with the 14b. The one I got was for only $60, and it's in perfect condition, plus it's ported. Thanks guys.

[Mikelb]

That's a good idea... if I started a seperate bank account... (I can't have it direct deposit from work though, my mom is the book keeper )

I'll wait til I got my own house, start my own account and my g/f will never know... lol

[blk_srt]

if I was you I would take advantage of them getting you the parts and wait to install them untill you have everything you need

My parents learned to stop asking when a box would arrive for me every other day. lol Now they just set it in my room and leave me be with it. They have pretty much figured out that the Talon is not being rebuilt stock. lol

sounds like story time.
anwyays, back to the topic,I think you should take the chance and get the 16g, you can sell the exhaust mani and the 14b,t25,450's to get the fuel mods. just my .02
