Quote from XCNuse :^ Well that's because they are idiots and .. probably drive a ricer.

If you know anything about how an engine works, you should know that changing a little computer chip will not give you that much power. Some, yes, but not that much.

I'm amazed how much I can feel my Hypertech, it pulls so damn hard in 2nd gear, I get quite a bit of torque steer which is something I haven't experienced in my car before, it's quite radical.

One guy on the forum with .. a very long list of mods however had an increase of gas mileage to an extent I just find it impossible to believe but.. he used to get on average 21mpg which is normal for city driving. Now he says he can just as easily achieve 27mpg.. I just find 5mpg kinda .. much.
I haven't seen any mpg gain in my car yet (although they claim you'll get some), but.. I also have been pushing the card much harder lol

I don't know how it is with N\A cars, but on jap turbo cars its general knowledge that fuel consumption will LESSEN after a tune, as most jap turbo cars tend to run extremely rich from factory.

True to an extent, A tuned ECU by itself won't really do a whole lot due to obvious restrictions. A good intake setup and exhaust with a tuneable ECU, you'll be able to feel the obvious power/torque, and sometimes even earlier spool, because the engine has more room to breathe.

There are so many dodgy, terrible, and shit tuners out there that it really isn't funny.

Quote from S14 DRIFT :it seems the people who most doubt remaps, etc, are those who haven't actually had one, or have had one but on cars which don't respond well to them.

I'm not doubting that remaps work. I've been in plenty of cars with not just chipped ECU's, but piggybacks and in some cases stand alone.

Theres no doubting they work, i'm just saying that the dyno figures when they're done mean absolutely nothing because theres so many different varying factors. A dyno is a tuning tool, thats it, its not an accurate measure of power.

So it irks me when people say "I gained xxhp with my remap"
Especially when the claims are something silly like 50hp, when theres been no other modifcations(Mainly breathing mods) done to the car. (Exhaust/intake etc)

I've never liked dubstep that much, Skrillex is the nail in the coffin for me...
I hate how dubstep is blown up out of nowhere in the last couple of years, only to be taken on by every indie kid/trend followers out there.

The day Gabber/Terror gets played on mainstream radio is the day i quit raving.

Quote from theirishnoob :no klutch, you're forgetting unlike you it isn't feast or famine, more girls will come you're way, its not the end of the world and its not gay.

He wen't home to an empty bed, when he could have had that girl in.
You say thats not gay?

Why would you turn down something positive?
It honestly baffles me. If someone offered me a car, i don't go "No sorry, i'll wait until i've been offered a Ferrari"


Who cares if shes a slut/skank/tramp, if shes attractive, wrap your pen0r and get plowing. You don't have to marry the girl.

Quote from Rappa Z :Not a date, but...

At the deadmau5 concert I went to last week a girl offered to have sex with me for my deadmau5head. I have to be honest, she was trashed (she fell on me twice) and I was sober, but she was also drop dead gorgeous. I was shocked by her proposition I didn't really know what to do, so I tried to keep it nuetral by letting her try on the mau5head while I danced. After about 10 seconds she grabbed my ass and tried to lead me off the dance floor. Once again, I was in complete shock and I don't know why but I figured she was trying to steal my mau5head (Of course, as a drunk girl she hadn't gotten a good grab on my ass and was sorta stumbling away). Some random guy was nice enough pull it off her head and pass it back to me and once I put it back on i went back to dancing and didn't see the girl again.

All the kids at school think I'm gay because I turned down free sex. Looking back on it, I should've tried to at least make something of the situation beccuse I'm sure that if she can remmber I looked like a huge douche.

Should have at least gotten gobbies off her or something.


I'd definitely think you're gay if you turned down a drunk, attractive girl wanting to hook up.

That, and dyno figures are easy to forge. The chart doesn't show ambient temps, intake temps, or even the ramp rate of the dyno... All of these affect the power reading.

Quote from Jakg :





Headline figures:
153hp (114kw) @ 3700 RPM
249 ft-lb (338nm) @ 2700 RPM

Stock is 131 / 221, so a fair improvement

Quote from S14 DRIFT :If that's a map it's a terrible one. Take it to Rtech they got 149/264 out of mine. Smooth graph too. If that really is the same engine as a 320d they will get about 175 out of it without issue.
Also I know where you live.

Dyno's are a tuning tool, and thats all.

The numbers don't mean shit, go chuck it on any other dyno and youll have a reading that would be anywhere from 0-50 difference. Theres so many differing factors its not funny. The only thing you can take off a dyno chart is the power curve

i know a guy thats running a 2jzge thats been converted to big single making 440rwhp.
been like that way for a couple years now, and its by no means treated nicely, its often says the track+drifting along with hard street driving.

as long as you do it properly, it'll last

Im very experienced in turbo cars man..and i never said turbo cars wouldn't break down more, theres more parts to go wrong so of course things will happen.

But if you're tinkering with cars in the first place turbo's really aren't that much more expensive if properly maintained, and as for dangerous...? not at all lol


and all your comments just re-inforced everything i said, which is why i said do a turbo setup PROPERLY. upgrade EVERYTHING, not just jump to a new turbo, wind up the boost and leave it like that

Quote from XCNuse :Blown engines, blown parts, blown bank statement.

My buddy was boosted in a 3 sedan 2.0, that turbo ran him about 12k in debt.
Fortunately his engine still works.

Minus some blown gaskets, a warped to shit header, a broken 3rd gear, a destroyed ECU, and miscellaneous other things.

Blown engine = Multiple reasons, you can't put it down to "It blew up because it had a turbo"
Blown parts = Shit/China parts
Blown bank statement = Dont buy shit you can't afford.
Yeah, turbo'ing N\A cars properly are expensive. Who'd have thunk?

Blown gaskets = Depends what type of gasket we're talking...
Warped manifold = Stop buying china parts
A broken 3rd gear = treat the car nicely or get an aftermarket gearset



If you do it properly, all of that shit can be avoided. if you cheap out and don't do it properly, those issues will arise.

If the exhaust smells disgusting the constant missing could have heated up the cat and melted it.

Quote from Jakg :
Would probably leave the engine / gearbox in the car when it got weighed in - nobody's going to want to pay for a KV6 with 120k on the clocks, especially when it needs a cambelt changed (30k overdue - the guy claims its been done, but has no idea if he has the receipt and hasn't looked in the service history.... yeah right)#.

Then sell bits off the motor, and people always want cheap gearbox's

no point doing it if you dont want to maximise your profit. sell EVERYTHING you can

Quote from Jakg :Random question... anyone here ever broken a car for spares before?

Have stripped a couple of cars

if you have the time to do it, and choose your car wisely, you can make a decent profit.

Its not hard to do, if you can spin a spanner you can do it. Hardest bit is removing the engine/trans as you'll need an engine hoist.
