how to be a ricer

[Chevy1500z71]

is it variable geometry maybe, that helps, but still 81mm is a lot of turbo to light... get a video lol

[Anoriginal]

Yeah, I think I've got to call BS on this one too.  I mean, 81mm's? Come on now. We're talking about a turbo that Turbonetics sells for 1200-2000hp applications in their Y2K line. That's a BUNCH of turbo for a street driven VW.

Hell, that's a bunch of turbo period. Are we sure we didn't press the wrong key by accident?

lol, i was thinking the same, diesels run em in the 60-70mms stock... no way 2.something liters produces the exhaust presure to light a turbo of that size... please feel free to prove me wrong, id love to see it. how the hell did you spank a vett? did you sit at the red light geting it spooled up at 8000 rpms first or what? and another thing... shouldnt 81mm turbo make a lot more than just 15 psi of boost? if he truely does have a 81mm turbo making 15psi of boost he needs to learn that bigger may not be beter because he could have got the same boost with a fast spool if he went smaller... hell a centrifigul blower can make 15psi, why bother with a 81mm turbo for 15psi? sory to kinda burst your buble im not trying to be an not a very nice person feel free to correct me if im wrong...

[Chevy1500z71]

an 81mm turbo should make like 40psi... there are so many flaws in what you say about your Buddy's ricer. its becoming more and more unbelievable...

[kfx400rob]

I would think an 81 mm should make around 50 psi? thats pretty far from 25, unless he just has the waste gate limit it that much, which would make no sense when you could do that with a smaller turbo and spool quicker. not saying your wrong just i don't believe it till i see it.

[Chevy1500z71]

idk what people think when they make ridiculous remarks on forums, they know they are going to get called out, don't they? its ok, iv had my fair share of getting owned on forums, it happens to all of us...

[JackL]

Temper and strength??  I think I understand now.
  Temper has to do with the fact that while being constantly teased about his one wheel burnouts Mr. short fused decides to weld er up.
  The strength part of it must be because it takes a strong man to lay in the dirt with no shirt on while getting sprayed with molten metal. Of course our tough guy is also squinting to avoid flashburn.

  Parts required to install your Lincoln locker.

  1. Grandpas old buzz box.
  2. whatever rods you find laying around the barn.
  3. Sunglasses (optional, you can just squint)
  4. Beer
  5. At least 3 friends to watch you and tell you how awsome your truck will be when finished.
  6. Almost forgot, visegrips to get the diff. cover off

   This may not be a complete list but it should get you started.

LMAO. I suppose the reason I keep breaking the spider gear welds in my buggy is because I use leathers and a helmet. I won't make that mistake again.

[Joedirt]

LOL everyone knows you remove the Muffler Bearings and you gain 50 HP in any application...the nerve of some of these Limey muppets around here....

[kfx400rob]

LOL everyone knows you remove the Muffler Bearings and you gain 50 HP in any application...the nerve of some of these Limey muppets around here....

duh, you add some type r stickers and a wing bigger than a superbird, and your lookin at like 100 extra hp.

lol

[4door5g]

so because the turbo is big you run high PSI?LOL the wastegate controls your PSI and i already S-A-I-D (dorry joe dirt)the car runs at 25 psi. go to his myspace his dyno number, and video is in there(on 15 psi). if not bring your ass on down and take a look. im not one to get on the internet and talk sh*t. im just telling you about a car. a car that i have already S-A-I-D is not mine so why would i talk sh*t about some one elses ride. like i S-A-I-D go on his myspace. and dont be a bunch of ducks.

also here is the link to the post about that night.

owned? i think not, fukn haters
im just sayen

[Joedirt]

S-A-I-D...... that is how that word is spelled.

[4door5g]

so i skiped that class lol. (never could spell good) so did you check it out? what you think about the car?

[kfx400rob]

lol, why does he need a turbo that big, just so he can say he has a 82mm turbo? to limit it that much with the wastegate it just dumb. you can make that much boost with a much smaller turbo and spool much quicker. and 371 hp aint exactly z06 killing power, any quarter mile times? im not that impressed.

[4door5g]

lissen man did you not watch the video? the fuking car is running cobras and supercharged gtos. i mean come on man. the car spools so hard that if you just lay into it in 3rd it will slap smoke the tires off. i dont know what else to tell you but come take a ride then talk sh*t. did you read the post on mafia? those guys on there have very fast cars. docs gto is the fastest 6 speed gto in the country and even he was giving the car props.  im sorry i had to pull out all this sh*t just for you to still act like a dumb ass. i have said anuff. come out to ocala and come for a ride, and will see how impressed you are

[kfx400rob]

lol i saw the videos, i wouldnt call that anything close to a fast spool, and it smoke s the tires because its FRONT WHEEL DRIVE.

[4door5g]

oo well im fighting a win less battle. i know what the car will do. if you cant xcept that oo well lol. yall have fun with your V8s. let me know if yall ever want to bring anything this way maybe we can set up some friendly races.

[kfx400rob]

dude im not saying its slow but, i saw the videos and they all seem pretty meaningless, they were at night, cant realy see if the other car got a good launch, but yes the car does seem fast... but i still cant see it beating a new z06 is all im saying. its a stupid argument i know but comon, a new z06 will run a low 11 bone stock.

[4door5g]

i dont think any of the races with the vw in it where from a dig. it spins 1st & 2nd too much. they were all from a 40-45 roll.(vw still spun for awhile) so there was no lanch to worry about. also when we ran the z06 it was from a 70 roll or so. because we were on the interstate. which is where this car shines. trust me its a fun car had it to 172mph on the way back from tampa that same night. the car is just set up right. plus those new z06s im sure are heavyer then the VW and probly makes close the the same whp. like i sead the dyno was at 15 PSI and when we ran the z06 we were at 25. so im sure the extra 10psi put the VW over 400whp. and the new z06s are rated at 500 crank HP right? figure in drivetrain loss, and your purty darn close WHP

[kfx400rob]

true, but 500 is pretty underrated, i think they make around 450 wheel. another thing is, peak power isnt everything, and the torque curve on the z06 will flat out put that thing to shame, no offense to your buddys vw but im sure a z06 is faster in a drag. thats nothing to be ashamed of anyways, they are realy fast.
