Does anyone else get all happy when they find out about a boost build?
 
Just like the title states. I get happy and really interested when I see turbo/supercharger build. It's so interesting watching and following people's thought, ideas and goals as they build.

I do.

And I'll be contributing my own build this Christmas! Parts are already on the way. =)

For sure, especially when somebody does something different from what is already on the market. Just because I build these turbo kits, doesn't mean I don't get excited when somebody else tries something that has not been seen around here.

For some reason I also (always) look at the turbine sizes, and try to predict (in my head) what the final numbers will be, where the HP will start to taper off (due to turbine size), and how well it will spool.

As my wife says, I am after all, a child trapped in a 6'2" frame.

Holy hell your big! No wonder why you need boost. The car needs all the help it can get to look g you around. I can totally understand on the turbo spec/results thing. I mean that's your thing!

I get jealous as shitt! :shakes head:


But, I read everything that they are doing to see what problems they run into, and if they are ding anything different.

TopgunZ 11-17-2015 08:59 PM

Not me. I hate boost. :rolleyes:

No. :iagree:

I get excited and impressed when I see a really awesome N/A build put down 375whp natural.

That is, also the plan for my Z...Not many fully built N/A guys out there.

FI is boring to me now, and every other car has a factory turbo these days. Please give me NATURAL power, the best kind.

BOOST IS BOSS!!!!

And Yzgyz, yes. I follow every FI build posted on the site. I've also had many long conversations with members that want to discuss decisions along the way.

D.Stillwell 11-18-2015 01:37 PM

^^ I ran faster 1/4 mile than some boosted guys there pushing 500-600whp. Of course, they cant hook up but still...I have 2 stillen mods and a tune....but BOOST IS BOSS!!

I like usable, reliable natural power. I bet my engine lasts way longer than most of the boosted Z's too. :iagree:

Sorry didn't mean to rain on your guys parade lolz....I'll be leaving now

Watching 2 builds now because they are both close to what I would want to do. They are taking forever to get finished though... LOL

NA engine are nice. But, If I wanted a nice NA engine, I'd go by the displacment thing. I'd get a big ol AMERICAN BLOCK!

:iagree:

Some form of the new LT'X' in either a C7 or Camaro

TopgunZ 11-18-2015 07:58 PM

Haha ha... Stillwell. I was being sarcastic. No way a 550whp z would lose to one under 400. That's just stupid. Unless his side of the track was lubed up more then Jenna Jameson and his tires were made of plastic.

I had a turbo kit on then went full bolt on breather then sc. I was embarrassed to try to take anyone on the street na. It felt like my car was dragging a pile of bricks behind it.

Honestly, id sell my z if I couldn't be boosted.

So, Yes I get happy when I hear about boost!
