That's pretty impressive if it is indeed your dynosheet. If you are going to have your friend turbo his 7th gen, I would strongly recommend you help him find a manual tranny. Thanks for the offer, I appreciate it but I think I have things under control, lol Anyhow I will be making runs next weekend and see how I do.

It is our dyno sheet. ^o^

3 of my friends and I build an 94 GSR in the spirit of wanting to start a store. But the rich one had family problems, so we failed. And when the first F&F came out, we kicked ourselves in the nuts... Oh well, I guess it was never meant to be. I guess slaving away for people is what we are going to do for the rest of our lives.

Well if it is, that's good stuff. Sorry your plans didn't work out. Actually a buddy of mine was thinking of opening a tuner shop here but it's hard when you have a family support and you have to worry about falling flat on your face if things don't work out how you plan them.

Whos 99blackvtec? Ive heard yall making fun of him or something before.

Yeah me and my cousin had a chance to do something like that here in arkansas, I went to a rim shop here and the owner was there and thought were were both filthy rich or something and kept trying to sell the place to us.
He was going to expand the building to have a little import parts section on the side, and wanted us to manage it based on commision(only).
My cousin was the one who did all the talking, hence I didnt feel comfortable just walking up to him and asking him about it.
The kicker is my cousin lost interest after he opened his own landscaping biz.

Man that would have been kickass!
Now I work for my cousin. lol.

No but seriously, the most I think anyone could ever get out of our cars is maybe 15 pounds without modding the rotating assembly or block with a good boost and fuel controller. Good knock control is what would allow a lot of boost.
But, I'm no expert.

comments. anyone?

I know this is off topic but I can never catch this guy.

BlackVTEC:
I didnt get a chance to reply to your other posts so here it goes.

1. What a lying, incoherent, ricer, puss *** looking ****.

2. Take a freaking english class. You cant type or spell for ****.

3. Dude if you did spend all that on that motor, and you get only 180 hp, you need financial counseling. $7000+ ......moron.

I, personally, think you havent done **** to your car except maybe a fart can and a bunch of gauges that dont do **** and "you are waiting to buy the stuff to hook them up"

Also, do not expect to run that high a compression with a 200 or 150 shot of nitro on that motor unless you plan on buying a mitt for the guy catching your rods or spending $30 for some magic gas to go to work and back(or school) , and finding that gas.(if it exists)

Whats keeping your A/F ratio in check, what kind of FMU are you using?


How much timing retard are you putting on that sucker?

What about your crank? It can only take so much.
I bet you'll say its "Nitrided, forged, cast, radiused, turned, lightened, counterweighted, balanced and I attatched a continuem transfunctioner to it"

Dude get a hobby or if you really got some of this stuff, read up.

200 HP shot? Bah!

Sleeves and a block guard? [mumbles]

If you got this ****, you should be spending more money on your traction issue your going to have with your 400 HP beast. Not to mention axles, etc. The sudden shock of that nitro will wreak havoc on your driveline.

Do you even know what a deck plate IS?

What kind of "customization" did you perform on your oil pump?

Now go read your magazines and do a search on "FMU" and "radiused" and come back, start a thread just for me, and argue your point.

Me, my car is all stock except for a body kit, shifter, rims, and a indention in the seat from my ***, although I would like to have the extra money to buy my goodies, and Im fine with that, because my priorities are different. Check yourself man, people will respect you more if you be honest. You dont have to lie to kick it.

Everyone else, sorry for being an ***, so so sorry, but i just had to, because, well, i had to.

I know he may very well have done a ton of work to his car, but he is either getting ripped off, is lying through his teeth, or just dont know what he has.

You can tell where my bet stands.

Once again, sorry guys.

I run between 25-30 psi all day long. I lean towards 30 psi for more of a track like setting. Its sick though, at like 4k in 2nd, my parada specs 2's do nothing but spin. I only have about 3k on them too so they are worn in but not really worn out. Still need to get better tires, driveshafts, traction bar, etc. though.

Did you ever fix the governer on the ecu? Have you been to the track yet? I know what you mean about the wheel spin(running 20lbs on my k20a2). As long as I lower my tire pressure to 20psi, I dont spin out that much. I'm currently looking to upgrade my t3/t4 to a precision sc61 and get aem ems(has traction control and a lot of other features).
