I have a 347" motor with a 76mm turbo. It will be spooled >8 psi by 3500 RPM with a 7200 RPM redline. If I need a quicker spool or more boost, I can always flip on my 2-step or boost it against the converter.

Similar setup to my friend here:

I guess mid 9s are pretty dyno queen.

And, a bit of progress:





Hope to have the turbo bracing structure done tonight, but we'll see how difficult it is (have to bend some 3/8" stainless rod, which I'm sure will be SUPER easy).

Sweet, go spin a cam bearing while you're at it. Enough theory lets see results.. this thread might as well have been called "post your eternal lasting v8 build" between you and Mr die easy.. in fact that's a good idea ill start one for you.

I've put 12k miles on my RX7 the past few years, including ~750 or so this year. I took it apart last Monday, and It'll be back together in about 2 weeks with the new setup. I'd have more done already, but I've been playing with my new G35x lately. By the way how does your car run?

I seem to recall posting this recently as well...

If I wasn't working on it, it wouldn't be entertaining. Probably tear it apart this winter and make it even faster. I enjoy building fast cars. I'd say you understand, but clearly, you just like to talk on the internet. That's cool though, everyone needs a hobby.

Good call on the dyno queen reference earlier though. It's an excellent illustration of your incredible knowledge of engines. Your poorly veiled jealousy is entertaining.

My rx7 runs well assuming that's the car you're wanting to know about. I completely understand working on a car is sometimes more than half the joy. One of the most obvious differences between you and I.. although nobody gives a **** about either of our cars you still feel the need to post **** about yours as if they do. That's why you know nothing about mine, very few do. Unlike some people I don't need an audience of followers to feel good about myself.

Considering the engine output itself is hardly cause enough to deem one car a dyno queen over another that's obviously a redundant comment on my end. Even though it might end up to be true in the end - yet to be proven. It just amuses me how much of a bigot you are and how jumpy you get about those who appear to oppose your views.

The building fast cars comment.. if it were my goal to build a drag car you would have a good argument. Actually I take that back, if it were my goal to build a drag car, and if it were my goal to build a drag car with a boring *** automatic I would have a fast drag car. Since i need to spell everything out for you, in no way was I saying that by boring I meant mechanically inferior... simply boring.

Perhaps you're not familiar with the point of a web forum. It's to discuss and share.

I don't share about 80% of what I do on my car and for others. If my point was to brag, I'd have an awful lot more pictures here.

Perhaps you should let the others that have posted picture of their cars and work know that they're just attention ******, and an RX7 web forum is no place to post pictures of RX7s.

Perhaps you need to look up the definition of bigot.

Talk to any of the rotary guys that actually know me about what I think of their cars. Or the parts I've given them. Tony's car is one of the nastiest street cars in town, I've bragged his car up a ton of times.

As far as why I jump on those that oppose my views... you don't oppose any of my views, you're just an idiot who likes to spout off on the internet like he has some clue what he's talking about. It's fun to poke a retard with a stick. In fact, they should make a iPhone app for that.

Autos are quicker in a drag car, especially a turbocharged one. The fact that you don't drag race doesn't have any bearing on me. It's funny how easy it is to talk about what you would have if you wanted to. Excellent arm chair quarterback skills.

Since it's bring out Keith's opinion day.

not messing with the quote **** just summarizing things..

80%? ok so you know where im coming from, sweet, now just take it down to about 95% and between u and never die easy this thread will be alot less cluttered.

okay, all of you whom post pictures of your cars and hard work EXCESSIVELY in a forum about meet-up times are attention ******. Job done. want a cookie?

Just keeps going around. if you want to talk about definitions, define freak accident again. i could use another laugh. if you think my logic is fucked up.. man.. Yea u stood up for the rotary once or twice, that doesn't mean anything. I know well enough that ppl say things just to keep the peace they really don't agree with. hell i do it with DSM ******* all the time just to get them gone. if it makes you happy ill retract the bigot comment since i have no hard evidence lmao.

Autos CAN be quicker, BUT are DEF boring. I thought I made that clear. I'd sacrifice fun for speed, but that just me and I know not everyone thinks that way.

correct, It is funny how easy it is to talk about what you would have if you wanted to, but it's straight up asinine to judge someone based on what they don't attempt to succeed at.

Jebus can't we all just get along lol

Not everyone is a fanboy and I have worked on and love cars from several different eras, makes (including dsm's which I guess makes me a homo), and set up for different things. No I'm not going to build a ***** out drag car like digital solo but I have a **** ton of respect for how clean his set up is and will drool over it any day rather than a stock fd. Hell, I've talked with solo at a meet and greet and he's respectful and cool about my weber carb'd fb I had at the time. We know we couldn't work on the other's car (he doesn't know carbs and I don't know FI) but we still respect what the other did. But then again I'm not a judgmental dick, maybe that's why we got along.

Just sayin

I'm not sure where along your existence it was shown to you that your opinion held any merit, but on some internet forum, it really doesn't.

I'll post what I want, when I want. You have no power on the subject. The sooner you come to terms with that, the less stressful your life will be.

I know you have some kind of weird sense of self importance, and I'm super happy for you about it, but I don't talk **** to you on here because you harm my fragile self confidence, I do it because it's entertaining to watch you flail about. You are entertainment value while I sit between rounds at the race track.

Have you driven a lot of 1000 RWHP automatics? No?

You're an expert of giving an opinion on subjects you know nothing about. Excellent sign of a person trying to prove their intelligence and ability without actually doing anything that requires... intelligence or ability. It's very easy to talk about you "could" do, if you "wanted" to.

Keep talking Keith, you're great at it, and everyone should play to their strong points. I'm going to go work on more fast cars.

I'm a nerd, I like weird little setups, and I think that Weber carb setup was neat. Carbs scare the hell out of me though, because (as I mentioned when we talked) I think they run on magic.

thatpoorguy

Lol I've worked on and drove everything from triumph spitfires to 70 Mach 1's, twin turbo duramax trucks to built fd's. I prefer carbs for daily drivers because I can do any necessary work including tuning at home with a basic set of tools. FI is run by leprechauns pushing buttons in the Ecu for all I know, hence why my fd is running like **** and needs to go to Banzai for a tune. That's my personal opinion but have a lot of respect for anyone who builds a fast car, no matter what it is. I'll heckle the bastard cars ever once in awhile, but it's just like how I make fun of jarheads because I'm air force. A little heckling builds competition, outright fanboyism shows ignorance.

The statement you made implies that all automatics are faster than all manuals which is false and that's all there is to it. Maybe if you learned to say what you mean without speaking in absolutes you would make a true statement more often. Perhaps you could have said all purpose built automatics will outperform a manual in a drag situation.. Still in absolute form like your typical fashion, but believable.
Ha.. at the end of the day you got offended because with no reasoning I called your car a dyno queen. No need to throw a bitch fit about it, just prove me wrong. Then guess what... I'll be wrong and not lose any sleep over it, because unlike you claim, I couldn’t care less. Whether it runs 9s or not, it’s not anything I would sport regardless of the build quality. Ofcorse you can post your car all over the place anytime you want, but to expect someone not to give any negative feedback while doing so is unrealistic. So to get uptight about it is quite frankly hilarious.

digitalsolo

iTrader: (2)

If you can't handle the concept of inference, that's a personal problem.

That said, automatics are faster than a manual transmission in any max effort situation. The quickest/fastest drag cars in the world are automatics (or single speeds, in the case of top fuel). The quickest/fastest motorcycles in the world are automatics. The quickest fastest road racing cars are automatics (F1).

Not offended in the slightest. The opinion of some random guy on the internet isn't of particular merit to me. As I noted before, it's entertaining to get you all riled up and watch you make a fool of yourself. It's kind of like those shows where you watch people crash into walls on their bicycle trying to show off. As far as proving it's not a dyno queen... well, first of all, it's never been, and may never be on a dyno, which seems counterintuitive to a dyno queen. Secondly, I seem to see a video above of me slaughtering a C6 Corvette a little over a month ago. You can click that video to open my youtube channels and check out my test passes at Indy, or if you'd like you can discuss how it runs with some of the local guys motorcycles. That was with a turbo that was setup for a 5.3 and a 6 speed, and was undersized for my current 347" motor and automatic.

If you do the math on the new turbo setup, you'd see that it's still sized a little small for my car, but it's a street car, so that was intentional (old turbo was a 68 mm turbine/76 mm compressor, new is 76mm/76mm, with a lighter billet compressor wheel, similar compressor airflow with a better back pressure ratio due to the freer exhaust side). But then, you just like to run your mouth, not make an actual point.

Unrelated to Keith's ruling, I was cleaning my garage today, and found a good condition FC oil cooler w/ lines, and a few assorted FC electronics components (mostly S5 I believe). The FC oil cooler is from an S5 GXL that had a stuck apex seal that then chattered and ate up the housing a bit, so nothing bad went through the oil system, though I'd still flush it, personally.

If you want it, come get it out my garage. Price is my standard 1 20 oz Mt. Dew. If you want to root through my electronics box, you can have whatever you want. Pretty sure I have an S4 cruise control box, an S4 speedometer cable and some other bits too. (edit) I have a coupe headlight switch that I think works fine also. If not, it's at least a good core to have rebuilt.

I also have a pair of 17" 255 width Sumitomo (HRZII I believe) tires with decent tread left. They are a few years old, but they hold air fine and are round. Just want them out of my attic since I have no use for them. I won't even charge you a Mt. Dew for those, just come get the dang things. :P

Trying to get the last of this stuff out of the garage, so if you need something, shoot me a PM, if I've got it, you can have it.

ya nobody saying everyone is a fanboy. I may be judgmental, a dick... That's subjective, but in my world it's black and white. I either like something or I don't and when it's posted in front of my face, then it's fair game.

as for the dsm comment idk about still, but since the car is in the past, yes u were a homo ha.

Just a fancy word for assume, you know what they say about those who assume don't you?

no argument there

Still butt sore about the dyno queen comment I see, can't let it go can you? You act like your intelligent or something, but you sit here and argue with this random internet guy about a made up term with no true definition which was never intended to be taken seriously in the first place. sweet and you say I'm the fool.

thatpoorguy

I wasn't calling everyone a fanboy, just you. There's evidence a plenty of that by your last statement. As for calling him a dyno queen, I've only ever told one person his was. It was a c6 vette twin turbo with everything in the book thrown at the engine so he was pushing 800 hp. Problem I had with it was that he didn't make any suspension, drivetrain, or even tire modifications. As a result he could only race from 60 up, and even then had trouble grabbing traction. His car would be absolutely useless at any track or professional event, therefore making it a dyno queen and the kid an idiot. Solo's done a lot of work to balance that car so I can do well at the strip, so I respect it for that. If he was trying to do Autocross I might call him an idiot, but he's smarter than that. Now there's someone talking trash to another online just because it's not something he'd do. That's akin to mocking a football coach for the way they run their team. You can bitch and yell at the tv all you want, but in the end they're still going to do things the way they want and anyone who says otherwise can kiss their ***.

Perhaps you need to look up the definition of infer.

Excellent example of a straw man argument. You have no ability to debate the points above, and are too proud to admit you were wrong, so you try and say "But wait, look over here!" It's akin to the people who do something idiotic, talk about it, then when everyone points it out, they scream "Haters!" So yes, you're the fool. You also complain about my posts here being off the subject of the thread, while posting off the topic of the thread yourself.

It's fun watching you flail about. Keep trying to look smart, it's working!

edit: Let's cut the bullshit. You sat around in the lot several years ago, overheard a conversation you weren't a part of, and got all upset about it. You sit and stew about it and like to cause problems whenever you can. The problem is, no one knows who you are or cares about your opinion. You were too small of a person to come up and say something a few years ago, and you're too small of mind to make a useful argument here.
