superchargers generally give you a flatter torque curve...

You COULD twin-charge.... put a supercharger on with a clutch that disengages once your turbo spins up, and get a huge turbo that spins up at like 5000 rpms....

I've seen a 4age with 400 hp and a flat torque curve that was twin-charged.

 

Remember, with twin charged systems, the supercharger helps the turbo spool!

Because it's cramming more air/fuel in, it is exhausting much more per given RPM, thus capable of driving an even larger turbo! Throw N2O into the mix and you can run a massive turbo on a tiny engine!

 

have lots of money saved for lots of tuning and rebuild kits also.

 

Jason and Ken:

Meant to post this earlier, but I suggest you guys keep check on your cars for awhile...

ODJ's car was broken into last night, and he told me that the police said that his car was the third one for that street that weekend.... Didn't steal anything, but supposedly whoever's doing it was in search of tools...

He lives practically up the street from us, just a few blocks away....

 

Anyone have a Purge Control Valve for an NA S5 FC?

It's the round black plastic thing with vacuum hoses going to the top and bottom and one goes to the oil filler neck. Turns out one of the nipples on the bottom of mine is broken and it's making a mess.

I would really like to replace it before the meet on the 22nd.

 

I'm pretty sure I have one for an S5 TII, they're probably the same. but I'm not sure when the next time I'm going to go home is. I'll let you know when I have it, or I might just bring it to the meet.

 

At the worst I can still drive to the meet with the broken one, it's probably been broken for months... I was wondering where all that oil was coming from. =)

But yeah.. if anyone has one they can bring to the meet, that would be great.

 

daten where are u in laurel?

we all need to sell our rx-7s and get isuzu geminis

Dan

 

Yeah, the guy up the street with the suburban got broken into too...

I need to clear all the crap out of my cars...

hell, my rx7 might've been broken into, and I'd never even know it, I haven't taken the cover off of it in a couple weeks.

My car is a little anemic. I think I'm going to buy one of these powerbands:

Can someone help me adjust it? :p

 

a couple spotlights and a few ratchets/sockets walked away from the garage/farm recently, and Jason asks that they walk back to the garage with haste xD
that is all from the public service announcer

 

Hi guys,

How far are you all from Virginia? I just moved to Manassas, and I really don't know anyone.. So I figured seeing that I just bought a 1990 Turbo II FC I Might meet up with some RX peps and make some new friends.

I'm gonna be reppin the P-Dub soon too... I just bought a house in Dale City. Going for closing on the 10th of February.

First thing I'm gonna do is walk around the place nekkid.

 

definately don't need to know about walkin around nekkid.. How far is Dale City from Man's asses?

 

That's just... unbelievable. Makes me re-think ever inviting a group over the my house for another BBQ.

 

lol, I have the spotlights

I just havn't been home since the last time me and jason worked on my car I'll get them next time I'm down there, or jason, you could stop by my house and pick them up on the way to the farm if you really need them.

 

Gee, that makes me feel better Myk :P I'm hoping the rachet has just gone amiss, and wasn't stolen :O

 

AWESOME!

I was pretty sure I lent the lights out and then forgot to who, but the ratchet I'm pretty sure walked off. I watch that thing like a hawk whenever I know it's out.

 

mike, you suck :P

<3 you anyways

 

Godo to know it's at least halfway cleared up. I may have half a BBQ then

 

The lights cost me $20 each, they werent that big a problem.

The ratchet was $80 :-p

So, $40 worth of stuff out of a total of $120, you can only have 1/3 a BBQ :-p

I'm going to _TRY_ to get out to Sudir's place to work on the van today at around 12, anyone want to join me?

 

tofu,
I will drop you a line around 6-7 to pick up that throttle body.
