i think that thoughs big car need a big engine like a 350, 440 but they are heavy cars. they need more to get them off the line. i dont know if i would race them

i was driving with my buddy inmy old 2.2 turbo sundance and we had just got a 20v vw intercooler mounnted in the front. plumbing was shatty but it ripped like itnever did. anyway im beside this 68 mutt and its real loud with a guy driving with his little kid inthe passanger side. I pulled up and revved and looked over and he shot a smile and yelled what kind of motor it was. i yelled back that it was a 2.2 turbo and he said , arent you sure its not a b and s. i had no idea what that was so i asked him, he said brigs and stratton, i laughed because it was quite funny. He eventually raced me after i talked him into it-well i won by a door and he was willing to hear what was in the car now. pulled ovr and was all about it-couldnt believe he got beat by a fwd 4 cylinder with a 17 year old driver. haha

the car weight is a big problem,then the big heavy engine so like 4000pounds and somthing and a sundance is 2700pound

[rek4201]

the weight hasa lotto dowith it but i hada lotdoneto thecar not just an intercooler so i knew it was gonnabe close he had a 302

[turboduster]

i see . i want more ricers to race me. i want to f*ck them up

Loud exhaust doesnt help. The only race I have had in Utah, I actually never knew I had, because my exhaust was so loud I couldnt hear their car accellerating. By the time I noticed, I was already in 3rd gear and the other side of the intersection @ 18mph.....I was pretty pissed because they did the flyby like they had beat me or something. They must have thought I was racing because I take off quickly from stoplights (and then go slow) because my ceramic clutch is a bit grabby and quick starts are easier.

With my turbo and full exhaust,the car is very quiet. The spirit is going back to n/a and im putting the setup in a duster.....so I dont think that car will have exhaust to speak of besides a downpipe. Having a huge turbo is nice, because you cant hear the turbo at low rpms.

[turboduster]

but does'nt a huge trbo have alot of lag.

I have 3" exhaust all the way from the outlet to the tip, with a cat and a resonator in between. Due to the need for a small trailer hitch and to kill the 65-70 mph drone inside, I am cutting off the system from behind the cat and replacing it w/ a 3.5" muffler (using bell reducers to connect to the pipe) and a stainless steel tip will be peeking out from under the sliding door. The ricers will now pay even less attention, so it will get even more difficult to goad them into a duel. My plan? Well, I'll have to resort to putting down the window and throwing a handfull of rice at their car. Should work good, no?

a full t4 turbo does have some lag involved on a 3.0. Too bad my 57 trim doesnt flow well enough/psi boost.

[turboduster]

well i have my blow-off on now but it does not make a blow-off sould it sounds like i dont have the thing it make on high to low sound weird sound like it is coming from the trbo

[jdawg]

my stock one out of the box is loud as hell, maybe you have hooked up wrong?

[turboduster]

i have the small hose off of the blow off conected to the top big nipple of the T.B> . the blow off is on the top IC pipe.when i hit the gas hard and let the pettle go back it make the weird sound like i said. but if a gas it then let the pettle back slow it does the blow off sound

[Ondonti]

you have to let it vent to atmosphere to get that loud sound.

[turboduster]

what do you mean vent the atmosphere?(that weird sound is like driving a shelby tona. w/ no blow off do you know the sound that i am talking about?)
