Platinum Member Username: GlasswolfWisteria, Lane USA Post Number: 11803 Registered: Dec-03 | I prefer the sound of my big block V8. |
Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Southeast PA Post Number: 1294 Registered: Jul-06 | ^^^^^ x2 I hate the sound of 4-banger engines, and when I think turbo I instantly think of a riced out civic with a turbo-ed 4 cyl and a fartcan muffler. Nothin against you or your car kevin, it's just whenever I hear a turbo it puts that image in my head |
Gold Member Username: FrkkevinResonant Engineering..., Fort Worth... Email Post Number: 3432 Registered: Nov-05 | ive had the best of both worlds.. but when i look at the old school muscle.. they are very nice cars until you try to turn them lol the new technology has advanced too much.. you've got these ricers everyone hate that can beat new vettes ect.. the way gas prices are lately im staying away from my old habbits.. gonna stick to my jetta for a bit but ima buy a turbo today and another car this summer.. hoping to throw a turbo on the jetta later this summer nothing agaisnt the old school.. i miss my 77 plymouth with the 440 and hurst 4 on the floor .. just the 4.10 gears ate away any gas mileage i thought i might have lmao on another note.. just wondering if you ever heard a v8 with a turbo ... some mean sounding motors |
Gold Member Username: FrkkevinResonant Engineering..., Fort Worth... Email Post Number: 3433 Registered: Nov-05 | btw.. this is the first 4 banger ive ever owned.. every car i owned since i was 16 had a v8 |
Silver Member Username: MgbcsLincoln, Nebraska Post Number: 762 Registered: Dec-06 | How could you go from V8s to a 4-cylender ? ...and gas milage is not an excuse |
Gold Member Username: FrkkevinResonant Engineering..., Fort Worth... Email Post Number: 3435 Registered: Nov-05 | it is one of the excuses.. drive my 77 plymouth for a month and you;d know where im coming from.. 8mpg hwy catches up quick on another note i needed a 4 door car seeing my gf was prego and my bro works at a lot.. best choices they had at the moment was the jetta or a mazda 6 .. and well the jetta was better imoafter test driving em both and a little cheaper |
Gold Member Username: Th3pwn3rPost Number:... Post Number: 1734 Registered: Jul-06 | I remember hearing about a twin turboed Corvette putting out about 1200 horsepower at the wheel which is pretty sick.I grew up an American Muscle guy pretty much but after seeing the push rods bending on V-engines it gets old In comes the little 4 banger with the over head cam,no more push rods bending and in my opinion most of the import engines handled horsepower mods a lot better than the american engines.Newer american cars use a lot of different technology these days so...Anyhow when I went to College to become a mechanic he told me I should have been a doctor.Humans are basically machines but they don't ever change so you don't have to keep learning and learning like you do with cars |
Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Southeast PA Post Number: 1316 Registered: Jul-06 | Yeah cars just aren't built like they used to be. New cars have so much crap on them that something always breaks. It's all been downhill since the 80s when they started putting all the electronic emission control crap on the engines...... |
Silver Member Username: Skibum12189Cleveland Post Number: 402 Registered: Mar-06 | this has nothing to do with turbos although i lvoe my buddys turbo wrx with a greddy rs blowoff valve but.................... the other day i was in a grocery store parking garage and heard this sick looking 06-07 mustang. I have to admit I do not like mustangs sans the new ones or old ones, but this guy clearly had a nice supercharger, this stang was decked out. The parking garage amplified the sound of the s/c and at first it sounded like a weak little engine, and then the guy got on the throttle again and like silenced my laughing (me laughing at weak sounding v8). I then noticed the biga** intercooler and was pumped when the guy gunned it and the supercharger just sounded incredibly sweet (many will have no idea what im talking about, but if you know about super/turbochargers, youll know what i mean. This experience led me to want a new car with a turbo-"able"/supercharge-"able" engine......haha randomly long story, but if youve gotten here, awesome, glad i shared this experience. |
Silver Member Username: Skibum12189Cleveland Post Number: 403 Registered: Mar-06 | ahha another random post, who else gets pumped when you hear/see a car smoke past you and then you hear the BOV sound....maybe im just weird |
Bronze Member Username: DlavanteTigard, Or USA Post Number: 30 Registered: Feb-07 | one of the best sounding cars ive heard was an audi RS4 or a bmw m6. they both sounded ridiculous |
Bronze Member Username: DlavanteTigard, Or USA Post Number: 31 Registered: Feb-07 | and try a 1998 grand cherokee with full time 4wd and a 5.9l V8 and 4.79 gears.... im gettin 7mpg on a good day |
Platinum Member Username: GlasswolfWisteria, Lane USA Post Number: 11813 Registered: Dec-03 | yeah. driven outlaw drag cars. twin turbo alcohol big blocks. |
Gold Member Username: Th3pwn3rPost Number:... Post Number: 1738 Registered: Jul-06 | ^That must have been fun Blow up any engines?I like 4 cylinder engines but I love a turboed or blown V-8 more than anything aside from a twin charged engine Best of both worlds but it's not easy to do. |

Platinum Member Username: GlasswolfWisteria, Lane USA Post Number: 11818 Registered: Dec-03 | chevy motor? 454 is a BBC that is unless its something else that was stroked. yeah I've blown a few motors at strips. It's all a part of the game. Just tear em down and build em back up.. look at the diagnostics, see what caused the damage, etc.. |
