hahah laughing at this thread. not a lot of evidence in the first post that shoes an understanding of turbocharged petrol engines or v8's.

yeah different markets, the slider gate mad kents and the good for nothing flanelet burnout and straight line speed v8 douches. lol

the jap's used nitrous oxide in there fighter planes in world war 2. during a dog fight, the used it to get out of dodgy situations, pretty smart hey

They lost the war, so how smart could it have been?

^^^ True hehe

The Japanese lost...

1) HIRYU

2) AKAGI

3) SORYU and

4) KAGA in June '42 at Midway

Nitrous couldn't help them then, at this turning point in the Pacific.

Were they the small ships? Perhaps pocket battleships?

They were f?%kin CARRIERS!

4 CARRIERS that their planes couldn't return to.

You do realise that the Supermarine Spitfire and P-51 Mustang both had a Rolls Royce V12 engine which had a two speed intercooled supercharger (had a 'scramble' type over boost setting to be used in emergencies), so blower > nawwwws :thumbsup:

um I don't know what historical sources you've been reading/watching/listening to, but Japan was well and truly on the back foot when the bombs dropped - the main purpose of those was to avoid the inevitable war of attrition which would have occured should the Allies have attempted a land invasion of mainland Japan.

I think this is a much better topic that the crap originally started:p

V8's or turbo.... since when do people debate this? Just go out and smoke him and that's the end of it... That's how things have and should always be done.

Remember... all the bullsh!t stops at the track

I'm surprised the bogans haven't reverted to their classic "V8 is a real man's car, coz you need a big set of balls to drive one..." argument yet...

or have they? I haven't being paying much attention.

EDIT: The ultimate power house I reckon should be a nuclear powered car.

well japan was winning the war, america got cold feet and nuked the place. then japan stood down

So what you're saying is that the US went from a losing position to a winning one with the development of that weapon? So who's smarter now?

Wow.....I never thought I'd ever say that an American was smarter than someone else, but to be fair they did import all their brains from Europe.

Bringing the analogy back on topic, battles are nice but winning the war that matters. The Americans won by making 2 massive explosions rather than going for thousands of teeny tiny ones. I guess size does matter.

How did this thread get onto this? i wouldnt start punching out lines about the war, there is so much people dont know as information can be altered after the outcome.

Anyways no disrespect, jst war is a terrible thing.

Back to v8 n turbo talk lolz!!!

'only milk n juice comes in 2 litres'

'we came on planes, you came in chains' whoops wrong

only goon comes in 5L LOL

no America went for 2 huge explosions rather than suffer unimaginable losses in what would have been a very dirty and cruel war on the main islands of Japan; they knew that the Japanese were literally going to fight for every centimetre of ground and would rather die than surrender dishonourably.

I usually taunt V8 drivers by telling them V8s are only good in speedboats lol

what about if i tip some nuclear waste on my dragon??????

So long as you have the correct decals and of course the turbo muffler..... nuffin' is going to touch ya!

ps rev[200] your links aren't funny, ninjas and maddox are f**king gay like chuck norris jokes, welcome to faggotry from 5 years ago.

Perhaps you are right...then there is this thread which is masculine with strong hetrosexual overtones.

what about if i tip some nuclear waste on my dragon??????

then you will get Jap-Spec Godzilla! :D atomic breath FTW!

US-Spec Godzilla sucks that thing can't do sh*t except eat fish & run and hide at the 1st sight of US attack choppers...

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
