Yeah... no.

Torque means nothing without revs, unless you just want to break things and smoke tires.

Ignore the first 10 seconds.

Me gusta Mangusta.

Never seen this before, thought it was pretty cool.







The end of this one is very interesting

Radiators being inches away from the headers, looks legit.

I love this guy... GUARANTEED!!!

Dude shoulda ran double 13B turbo motors with 1 giant turbo powering both motors... would have been the first 6 rotor vehicle that sounds like a beast.

I would throw that douchers card away just to tell him I did it.

I wonder how much fuel those thirsty beasts consume, and is that fuel cell in the back big enough...

Is that a hardtop for another car, just installed backward?

I read somewhere it's made from two karmon ghia hardtops. looks slick to me. That would be a nice kit car with 1 engine.

Sofaking sexy

So. -------. Boss. I came ten times watching that video. The Group B Quattros always seem to have more turbo noise than any other car I've seen and the spool sounds really unique- more hi pitched. Anyone know why that is?

IIRC those cars didn't use blowoff valves because of the loss of boost pressure. The factory race team didn't care about compressor surge shortening the life of the turbo when they could repair/replace every week. Probably pretty much has an open exhaust and a screamer wastegate dump as well.

13B is a 2 rotor. You probably meant 20B?

6 rotor has been talked about before but never done AFAIK. Kind of like that V16 thing, I'm not sure what the point would be besides bragging rights. I would rather have a properly built LSX based engine than 2 iron block SBC's. ;)

Yeah they deffinitely didn't use BOV's which gives them that characteristic flutter, but they always seem to have louder turbo noise and the spool-up makes a higher pitched whistle than most other cars I've heard. Actually it sounds a lot like a Supra with a T88. I guess it was just the size of the turbo. I can't find the specs on it but I'll keep looking.

25 years of development. :giggle:

Indecisive drivers need to be ------- shot. Every goddamn one of them. But first, they need to be tied to a ------- pole and made to watch their descendants die too. I was almost killed twice today by indecisive fucktards who waited until it was too goddamn late to pull out in front of me.

The person I just about creamed was sitting at a stoplight behind a line of traffic. There was traffic in lane 1, and lane 2. No traffic in lane 3. Dude Woman was stopped in a busted ass explorer with right turn signal on, trying to decide whether or not to go from lane 2 to lane 3. At this point I'm probably 200 yards out and slowing, plenty of time left for woman to switch lanes. She inches forward about 6 inches at full lock on the steering wheel and then stops as I'm coming up behind her. 150 yards out, woman is stopped, I'm braking to stop by the time I hit the stop-line at the light. (About 8 cars in front of woman). 100 yards out, woman is still stopped, still braking to stop at the stop-line. 75 yards out, woman stopped, 50 yards out, woman decides to ------- gun it to get out in front of me. Add some reaction time and factor in that snow tires aren't the grippiest things in the world on dry pavement, and my front tires are locked up for a good 100-150 feet by the time I'm slow enough that I'm not going to get a trailer hitch up my intercooler. Had she pulled out into my lane and stopped immediately, I would have creamed the ---- out of her back bumper. Approximately 1000 feet after this particular light, lane 3 merges into lane 2, she manages to get in front of everyone once the light turns green, and flips on her turn signal. Then she just exists in that lane...for ------- ever. ---- you, bitch. Floored it up beside her as her tires slowly crossed the white line, got aggressive close to her to let her know I wasn't going to back off (side story: for some reason, drivers think that if they get close enough beside me, I'll back off and let them merge in front of me? what the ---- are they thinking? When drivers do that ---- to me, I give it right back to them. Another driver has never gotten away with "forcing" their will upon me. They all scare off pretty easily when they realize that I'm probably willing to let them hit me just to prove a point. Maybe they think I'll freak when they get within 2 feet of me, but I think they ---- their pants when I steer toward them and get within inches. Anyway, back to the other story...) and drove away, wondering if my freshly purchased gallon of milk was leaking all over my passenger floorboard from impacting the airbag cover when I slammed on the brakes because of this bitch.

The turbo used on the S1 E2's was the kkk k27. I couldn't find a lot of info or videos of it, but I think k27 just makes that noise.

These guys have a 6 rotor:

Hurley Rotary will supposedly build you one, too, but i don't know if they have ever actually built one, or if it's just posturing.

Hurley's BS, and I seriously doubt those guys have solved the substantial problems behind a 6-rotor eccentric shaft. We'll see when they run it, but untill then no way.

Stumbled across these and checked out their website. The FAQ is funny. They're serious about these keychains. http://turbokeychains.com/faqs.html#sleevebearing

My brother got me one of those as a best man gift, but sshhhhh it's a secret.

Err yes.

If that vehicle ever gets done it will be one sick ride.

This. Won't happen. Looks cool sitting in the engine bay, but until I see and hear it running, I'm sticking to my negativity.

My girlfriend got me one for Christmas 2 years ago. Its pretty nice. I think it jinxed me though, because I haven't had my car running with a turbo since then.

Goddamn start work on a tattoo for a friend and he changes his mind. At least I was only two hours in.

https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1329807408

good to see he's not a -----.

You're an idiot.

Agreed.

Dude in the black cap man...

Welcome to 2 pages ago.

This is typical on this thread.

Work network FTL


Maybe I can redeem myself with this lovely tidbit...

second safety. lolz.

i can't stop listening to the slap chop remix... it's been on repeat for the last twenty minutes in the background while i code...

reminds me of this one:

"watch this. you're gonna love my nuts"

Why? It's funny.

Yeah. Its just like when Dana Carvey does Bush.

there is so much retardation in that pic it's making my balls hurt...

How about an eggroll with that rice?

Now with air ram.

Not sure I understand?

Car is scraping the ground
Tires are turned in so much that the outside half of the tires never touch the pavement
Headlights are up but not on
Two dudes, one cup
Exposed stock painted cam gears purely for looks
Throttle body opened to atmosphere
No hood
Strut tower brace on a car without struts
"Stick & Slide" window decal
Tow hook on a car that will never need/use it
Wheels are 4" wider than the tires
Breather filter on Crank vent

What about that is retarded? I don't understand...
:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

It kinda looked like there's no camcover at all.

TIGHT extra extra large rear view mirror.

I like the lack of hood and exposed cam gears. And barn doors = win.

mad tyte bro, thats hella flush... be ballin racin...






my face facepalmed itself, thats how bad this picture shows... makes me want to throw some rice into the engine bay as they drive by.

Also, the lip is held together with zip ties.

We ended up taping up more of the opening to the radiator to get it up to normal temps. The car is amazingly easy to drive and turn decent times. Either that or the guys and I are actually halfway talented after all these races.


This car was quick. Our best time was a 2:07 and his was a 2:02. It was just flat in the turns and would leave us in the straights. We figure our car is capable of about a 2:05 with no traffic, but good luck with that.

NOS sunglasses. :giggle:
