Quote from The Very End :

Not anymore, read first post
Hope that people join tihs so we can get a real competition here. There is nothing as a bad skin, and I will try giving my imput on all the thing posted here. Good luck!

A skin pack? Sounds good, I'm in. I'll give it a shot. How do you feel about carbon fiber? Also, I can only do skinning in paint, so I think I could do a few skin copies from other skins if that's okay.

Do you seriously think I am going to pay up?

Quote from tristancliffe :

Which is a shameful way to avoid your moral obligations.

no it's just reverse psychology.

Quote from tristancliffe :

But if you don't pay up that makes you a lying, dishonest cheat. Because you DID say you WOULD give him money. No disclaimers, no 'only kidding' in white text. You effectively promised to give someone money.

and I did. I gave him the $1000. I didn't say how I would give it to him, or if the $1000 would be real, I still gave it to him. Look at my last post.

Quote from hrtburnout :

But you do have the duty to pay up!

the only "paying up" I will do is I will make my foot PAY a visit UP your ass! Also, if you want your $1000, fine here you go!

Quote from Thorvertonian :

You made a bet and refused to pay!

No I didn't. I need to have legal rights to actually carry out the bet, it is illegal in some cases to even bet on the internet like this, I am not over 18, and it needs to be somehow approved, in my case, the US government. Also, you have no right whatsoever to take money from me, and I also have no idea where you even live.

Why are you guys totally flaming me? What did I ever do to you?

WHAT!!!! I was kidding!!!!! man someone is a retard!!!!! What is your problem!!!!!! You guys don't understand some Americans... it's called SARCASM. Check it out...

Also, why would I give $1000 away?

That´s 2 Edo Competition Porsches. I saw them once I visited the ring in 2005. Vor a VERY short Vid see here: Edo Competition

awesome! so I just got a picture of two rare Porsches, correct?

Quote from PioneerLv :

Wuhuhu, that's why shitty Impreza has such a short km life.

haha! poor Impreza's. Anyway, just like 75 (which is about 125 kilometers) miles from me, there is a 240SX with an RB26 engine swap, and it's selling for 8K (in dollars). So, I think if I do get a 240SX, I will either try an RB engine, or SR engine. I will also proove my brothers wrong about turbocharged engines!

Quote from The Very End :

Come on GrIp DrIvEr, be a man of your words

I was being sarcastic. I just thought it would be a little bit difficult, but I was wrong :doh:. The internet is a powerful tool.

@Danny LFS - An SHO? Thats like putting a bodykit on your Grandmas Cadillac.

Quote from Nathan_French_14 :

I can see what your saying. It is true that it does depend from car to car. Im not much of a nissan guy, so i dont know much about them stock. But some cars can benefit extremely from a bigger intercooler. For example, the sierra sapphire cosworth has the most ridicoulous intercooler ever. Its very small, and sits on top of the radiator, so its also getting heat from that. My dad fitted a Radtec one to his (cant remember the size, but it was absolutely huge) and once it was setup, it was dyno'd, and got a decent hp increase.

Same with the early impreza's. They had a intercooler at the back of the engine, and it was very poor. Thats why you see alot of people fit front mount's nowadays.

Either way, its down to what you think. As for me, i believe he could get a decent hp increase with an uprated intercooler. I personally would'nt fit one for performance though. I've recently bought one for my RST, purely for the fact that it will help with the cooling.

@ Gripdriver. He got 25hp with an uprated intake?! I think that may be bending the truth a little. It's highly unlikely you will get 25hp from just an uprated intake, even with a tune.

but it is a 350 LT1 in his T/A. Besides, it's a VERY rare '93 T/A GT (okay, maybe that doesn't matter), and he just rebuilt the heads and got some headers and other stuff for it and got 400 hp in the end. Also, it can do significant numbers since he got a K&N intake for $300. Check this link out. http://www.knfilters.com/kits.htm It even says a 2003 Mustang Cobra got an extra 30hp just for this intake. But, if I did get a Nissan 240SX, I can make the KA24DE engine stronger for a turbo, correct?

It's not always white in some cases, too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v ... vgqxU&feature=related I think I remember this from a book, but I think its either a special type of paint that doesn't effect the paint on the car, or a special type of fog. I will google it.

Quote from jibber :

Depends on the engine and the stock intercooler. It could add something, it could add nothing... but on a 170HP engine, it won't add 11HP (again, that's what i think), ever!

The tuning world is full of people who will tell you how much HP you will gain with all kind of mods, while in reality, you won't gain much at all. Unless you invest some serious money. It's all lies (mostly).

If you increase boost, then it will add more HP, definately. The other question is if your engine will handle it... and the answer to that one is: If you're lucky and got an engine that's been built strong enough from the factory, then yes. If that's not the case (which chances are high), then it won't.

Call me an idiot, but i've seen too much bullshit from the tuning industry to still believe in most of those fairytales.

so, do an engine swap like on this 240SX? http://denver.craigslist.org/cto/1141874962.html That way so you can get a strong built engine or what?

I am amazed at how people really know their stuff on here. You guys are really helpful. Thanks! So this is what I got so far:

engine rebuild or conversion
intercooler
chip

I would most likely go for the top, but I would also add a better intake on the car. My bro did that to his T/A and he got an extra 25hp. Also, I am looking at this 240SX http://cosprings.craigslist.org/cto/1104324881.html , and this 240SX http://denver.craigslist.org/cto/1139075381.html .

Quote from DragonCommando :

If you want to turbocharge a KA24E (the engine in the North American 240SX) you will want to rebuild the engine first, and think about some forged internals if you want to go to higher boost levels.

Most likely you will find one that was heavily used, and the compression levels will be low, meaning you will have alot of blow by in the pistons, turbocharging it at that point would be a bad idea.

Ok. So like redo the heads and maybe get them machined?

Quote from Luke.S :

Is that an FZR?

Where!

Quote from Forbin :

Why?

Is it because all the cool kids are doing it?

... no. Cause I want to. It would be my decision. A lot of kids in America today are going emo skaters with a car they don't care about. I want to do this, and I don't want to be like them.

Wow! No way! Never knew that. Hey thanks for the information guys. When I do get a car (hopefully a 240SX), I think I will turbocharge it. You guys know your stuff! Thanks again!

DAAA! :yikes: :faint: Is this killer crazy!!!!!

Hi people. I have a question; why does a turbo or supercharger ruin engine life? I know it has something to do with boost, I just don't know what.

Check this out! Someone needs to film some live action cause a couple of race Porsche's just got on the Ring today.

ok, I wasn't serious about the $1000 (duh), but Florida is right. I have been there many times. Also Glenn67, you have a pretty cool dream car.

Quote from mrodgers :

Over here they salt the crap out of our roads. Salt all over the roads for 4 months coupled with sub freezing temps for that same time and "nice" wheels means when summer comes, you no longer have "nice" wheels.

Me, I'm not a wuss. I have the same tires and stock wheels with plastic hubcaps summer and winter. I don't need freakin winter/summer tires. I don't drive like an idiot thinking I am on the racetrack in the summer so I don't need wider stickier tires and I've lived with the snow since I've started driving in 1988 and I'm not as stupid as everyone else around me who forget how to drive in the snow after a week's period of warmer weather.

Let me guess... you live in Minnesota?

Quote from The Very End :

Throwing with a picture of the thing.

i would give anyone $1000 if they guessed exactly where this picture was taken and gets it right.
