Finished!! Forged piston block, Custom valve head (flowbenched)

Our money is going toward buying a ... very ... remote wilderness home. Houses in town are a lot cheaper.

I would at least turbo my van otherwise. :)

May have to buy a 4x4 just to get in and out even.

I have wanted to buy a lot of cars and I have to keep telling myself no. The cars are cheap junkers but I'm already greedy enough about the parking at the house I rent a room in.

But having a daily driver makes projects so much more relaxing since you dont need to rely on your project car.
One of my friends (supra guy) had 4 cars that didnt run 2 weeks ago and was sharing his wifes nice lexus suv thing. He got one of the cars running last week but its a car he wants to sell (supercharged 4.0 v8 Lexus sc400 he just built) so he will be back to sharing with the wife again lol.

Hopefully i can figure out a clutch for the future. No point installing megasquirt and running crazy boost and reving to 7500 when 10psi annihilates the clutch :(

[mopar3.0]

what about a spec clutch its hoding up in my buddies 500 hp talon...

[thedon809]

Act makes good clutches that can hold tons of power. When i had my talon tons of dsm guys would recommend them.

[Ondonti]

The SPEC clutch for our application apparently sucks, probably because the Pressure plate they use is garbage like the clutchnet ont.

SPEC 5 cant hold 400hp

ACT Doesnt make anything for us :(
No performance manufacturer makes anything for us unless you have something custom.

[Shadow24V]

what about a Mcleod RevLok? arnt the 4cyl guys using those on 400-500+ hp cars? couple that with the HD or dual diaphram PP wont that hold what you have?

My FWDPerf. 4-puck and HD pressure plate should hold 300HP as well so...

[Ondonti]

I am waiting till I get home and then will see what option I like the best. I wouldnt buy a revlok most likely since they are not the only people capable of making an iron disc.

[Shadow24V]

any reason you dont like revlok? its available and made for our application...

[Ondonti]

285 dollars for a disc, and its sprung hub which just means extra weight.

210-230 cfm @ .400-.500" lift?
IMHO: Turbo is [way] too big. Cams are [WAY, WAY] too big. Revving past 6,000-ish, why bother? That's all likely beyond SOHC 24v and into DOHC territory, much less 12v range. If using a multi-meter was so tough - really over-stepped yourself playing GURU!
I saw the video and heard the motor struggle... And read the posts where you jumped it and swapped harnesses and jumped it and swapped (as clueless as a toddler with a .357 magnum)...
MS would help but "7500 RPM and 10 psi" are a waste of time. Best case scenario.
It's actually offensive that "some people" DARE to offer advice, know what I mean?
I've followed your posts for a long time, funny how "how do you use a multimeter?" to "expert running a 13.0 sec 1/4 with 11 seconds worth of parts" becomes a TD Deity!!!
Not trying to be $h!tty, just fail to see how your progression from "WTF do I do" to "I'm wasting parts like a fiend" to "I'm a God" really hopped off. Sort of sickening, when one stops to think about it. At least the posts where the harness impedance was AFU were "kind of" amusing. Actually, all things considered, the whole situation was hilarious.
LMAO! Be Cool!!!

^ everyone has a right to do/say what they want.....


As for the clutch, i didnt realize the rev-lok was near 300 for the disk, but there is the saying, "pay now or pay more later" *shrug*

I missed the part where Brent said he was a GURU. I also missed the part where you had a brain...oh wait thats because you dont. Get out if you're just here to bash.

Could your envy of Ondonti be any less obvious? Did he point out your stupidity under a previous user name or otherwise publicly serve you? I’m just trying to understand the randomness of your attack. Your whopping 7 post total doesn’t say much of why you are so upset with him or why anyone should care about your humble (yeah, right) opinion when it comes to sizing turbos.

What aspect of his selected turbo is “too big”? Compressor/turbine housing? A/R ratio? What is it? What lb/min would be better? What turbine A/R? Why? Put up.

That has to be the single worst simile (or application thereof) I have ever heard. I am still laughing as I click "submit reply". Does that even qualify as a mixed metaphor? Someone must have made a spoof account on here.

That is so bad, it reminded me of this:
Funny Metaphors found in high school essays

Those were funny and halfway witty, however, two traits that differentiate them from yours.

And what is so funny about asking how to use a multimeter? I have a Fluke 43B multimeter/power quality meter that I’m sure you wouldn’t have a clue how to use unless you were a double-E or experienced electrician. Tools with simple functionality are not always intuitive.

Instead of pathetic displaying jealousy towards more knowledgeable and experienced members of this board and their projects, you might be better served using them as a resource.

I hope he (three-oh) can answer this... I hope he will back up, with intelligent evidence, what he says.
I have been in the car. There is no problem with his selection turbo or cams.

I notice no time slips from him either. My money is on him being a internet bench racer.
