• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

Your car will break.

So true, RIP Carlin
 


Turbo boost and supercharger boost are like night and day and by day turbo boost is a million times better if you can go turbo the do it
 
How much is it to get a good turbo set up? I'd have to get a rebuilt trans too because mine is garbage lol.
 
1500 easy on the turbo. and another 3 grand for a built tranny to handle the up to 500 hp you can make.

m90 set ups top out about around 350 hp.

But if you didn't use that, wouldn't everything around the turbo get super hot and potentially break or even melt if plastic pieces are around?

On a factory turbo car lines and stuff are routed to where nothing is going to get hurt. Factory turbos usually have some sort of heat shield to help too.

GOOD aftermarket kits will take the same thing into account.

People who make their own set up need to take things like that into account. My cousin put a turbo on his 91 Civic hatch and routed everything to where melting wouldn't be an issue.

A kid I go to school with has a GTP Special Edition. He's kind of a tool, but he told me awhile ago that he wanted to put a smaller pulley on the S/C. Don't remember what size exactly, but I think I remember it was a 3 inch pulley of some kind. He never mentioned anything about different headers or exhaust work. I'm sort of hoping he gets knock in his motor or as Scotty puts it "gets a new friend Chip" because he brags about his car all the time. Can't wait to see how his car turns out.

Years ago I coined a term for this I like to call EFS or Elmer Fudd Syndrome. We always had guys come into the shop with amps bridged into too low a load and I would tell them that they were going to blow the amp up and always got the "I've been running it this way for 6 months", couple of days later they would come back and ask if I could fix their amp.

So now that this guy knows it won't be long now.

Well I've never told this kid his car will break. I thought I'd be nice and leave it as a surprise :).
 
But unless he knows nothing will happen.

Did you guys ever watch Looney Toons where Elmer Fudd chases Bugs around and goes off a cliff and then turns around and walks back and Bugs says he should have fallen because of gravity? Then after that Bugs puts out a book on gravity that Elmer picks up and starts to read he falls off the cliff (now that he knows about gravity)?

EFS!
 


the problem is that the "guy" will only here "turbos make your car faster" and then throw a turbo on it with nothing supporting it or even a tune then the motor will blow up.

That's pretty much what I'm thinking at this point. He earlier told me to put a S/C on my car. I told him that he's an idiot and that it's not that simple. He'll be one of those people driving a Prius later in life because he'll keep blowing up motors lol.
